| From the Cincinnati Evening Times we take
the following description of the Jones, feathers
& Pauley combined high and low pressure
engine: uo.
Esq., the wel-known machiniSt and engine
builder we are able to lay before our readers the
principle, construction and utility of the cele-
| brated Jones, feathers Pauley Condensers,
which Moore has just completed and attached to
| the engines of the Charles Morgan. They are
pattern Of splendid work, and in the attachment
| to the engines Of the Morgan are certainly an
evidence of Mr. Moore's superior workmanship
The JONES' feathers Pauley condensing ar
rangement on the steamer Morgan consists
Of diverting chambers, condensers and air
pumps. The diverting chamber contains two
valves, which are shipped loosely on vertical
stem, or rod, to which motion is impaired auto
matieally. One Of these valves-the high pres
| sure or outward escape'-is lifted open by con-
tact with collar, or tappet fastened on the
stem. The lifting of this valve anticipates the
lifting OF the exhaust valve Of the engine, and
| consequently permits an unobstructed outlet for
the first puff OF exhaust steam at the completed
stroke. The adjustment is such, that when the
engine piston has moved, on the return stroke,
to desired and optional point, this valve closes
and the valve stem, continuing its movement,
forces down the lower, or condenser valve, there
by compelling the steam which remains IN
the partially exhausted end Of the engine to
pass into the condenser where it meets with the
injection water, is imme diately condensed and
vacuum is created, this condenser valve remain
ing open until the piston approaches the end OF
stroke, when it is again closed and the high pres
sure valve reopened preliminary to the exhaust
as before noted.
1.-THE coDdensers and air-pumps are precisely
the same in effect and action as the kind en-
ployed In the low pressure englDe service, except
as to relative positions, the condensers IN thli
plan being elevated several feet higher than the
pumps, which keeps them clear, and insure th'
action Of the pumps.
"Several highly important advantages are in
, yolved in this system, as compared with forme
methods OF condensation:
; Il. The availability Of high pressure and higf
expansion. ,,.o, =, h;c,a.. .oronor.
ture. =,
; "3 The quite limited weight and bulk Of it
! parts.
! a.. Ability, in case of arrangement, to in
stantly work non condensing, enabling the YES
sci to proceed as il they were not on board.
"Ihe economical advantages Of the condenser
are variousy stated; their saving OF fuel is vari
ousy stated from Is to 80 per cent but widel
influenced by the prop, rtiens OF engines an
! other details in connection therewtn.
1.-THE success which the James Howard
Natchez, and some few other prominent steamer
have met with in their use, recommends the IN
: vention If the Chas. Morgan's condensers rrov
successful, and saving Of fuel expenses, there wi
a be several Of our Cincinnati steamers ready
n receive them aboard"
Capt B. K. Pegram, ASIA sue essful and e1
: perienced steamboatman, ls almost without
= peer, and that he was quick to see the advan
tages and benefits in having these eondensers at
, ia he'd to the engines Of his great James Howard
4 showed that he not only appreciated their merit
but that he was enterprislng enough to tnrn ther
" to his advantage. The Howard will be at tn
= landing to day and any Of our readers who WIS
4 to see FOR themselves can thus nave the oPpof
"a tunity.
