From ~ Philadelphia Times
WIf have luck and no further break
ages. think I shall be able 70 exhibit
the motor at work u the directors of the
company and those Of The public who
choose "a come, about June lst, said
Mr. Kelly, the chief protector Of the
new engine which il 10 rayoluti0niEe the
procuration OF force, - he yesterday e.
corted . Times man into 4 Workshop In
the rear Of his residence. You cannot
conceive, he continued, "the power Of
this machine and what we have had 10
overcome In experimenting, This reg
lister she'll, for instance, weighs seven
thousand pound, although Il Il only forty
two inches in diameter outside and
thity inches inside, being six inches
thick. Itisspherlcal, Is Of wrought steel,
and holds sixty one gallons; ii took two
weeks to cool after manufacture. / can
charge Il Ia LEES than one second with
vapoF, generated By about three thimble-
falls Of water, that win run five hun
dred horsepower engine nine hours
This gauge registers 6tty-four thousand
pounds to the square inch--tour thou
Sand pounds over that Of gunpowder.
We have tested Il eight times. The
safety-valve which you see here, and
Mr.. Kelly touched With his foot a
wroaght-iFOn pipe . foot In diameter and
three inches in thickness, which inclOsed
loosely a smaller pipe, "can not do much
harm If ii bursts, an the outer casing pre-
vents the pieces flying, Here is one we
Split" and he placed his hand upon a
huge valve that had been riven like q
reed. "The material we now use almost
entirely il Of steel, forged In solid masses
and bored cut, The COMPRISING cocks
which are attached 10 that cylinder are
my own invention. Understand what
we are fighting against is thirty tons 10
the square inch. This machine win
develop eight thousand FIVE hundred
hOrse-power-enoUgh to run all the cars
in Philadelphia and New York put
together--and can be charged with sew
enty gallons Of pure gas per minute. We
have about fifty men employed, all told;
the work generally is done outside by
/. p. Morris and Morris & Tasker, and
simply put up inside. Yes, that patch
in the wall Is where a bolt, that blew
cut, went through q short time ago. The !
greatest care Is needed, and yet some Of
our appliances appear very fragile. This |
copper tube, which you see IL not much |
thicker than q lead pencil, and has 4 |
passage not larger than a pipe-stem, will |
stand pressure Of one hundred thousand |
pounds to the square inch. A magnifi-
cent motor Is being put together by
Mesara Sargent & CunningWorth, ia New
York: il i, Of course, for our company"
Mr.. Roely thea conducted the reporter
TO his model room, where q number of
delicataly constructed specimens Of lin-
putian motors and machines invited
inspection. "There are 80 many points
about the invention that Il would take
me three or four days 10 describe them,
and your paper far more room than il
could spare In year 10 publish them.
The present century has given birth 10
many marTels, steam, telegraphy, &C.,
and we are going 20 assoniah the world
In q greater measure then even great
can imagine. You may tell
lhs readers of the Times that, barring
tha motor win " ID working
order BY the fourth OF Jnly." The in.
.erview then terminated.
