| THE STEAM WINDLAss The Pittsburg Com
| mercial describes steam wit dlas5 for steam
boats, which it thinks will supersede all previous
inventions, meaning, of course, Nc 9ilins appar-
atus 1t says that James Mcbride, al engineer
o: Pittsburg, is the inventor. The reporter
bases his predictions upon ga complete set Of
drawings" which We're shown to HIM, and he
thus describes the thing:
"The invention consists in the use Of pair OF
horizontal capstan barrels. one on each end of a
horizontal shaft placed above the deck and driven
by the main spindle OF the ordinary capstan by
means Of pair OF bevel wheels; every part OF the
| OrdlGary capstan geallng In the hold and the
| wheel and pinion on Geek, together with the pre-
sent pals and pallbed ara used in their present
position, 30 that it will be well understood
that this is no departure from the weil-.ried
! method now in use, except that by masking the
barrels horizontal The arrangements constitute a
| wlndlass instead OF capstaD. The wiDdlass
| can be worked either single or double purchase
by steam OF single or double purchase by hand,
| the same capstan bars being used, and the men
| walking round on the deck usual. The changes
| from single to double purchase are made in the
| same manner as on the present capstan.
| "One OF the great advantages of a steam
winGlass is that it takes the place Of the double
| capstan now so universally u-ed. One end Can
be used to spar and the other to warp at the
| same time, and it can be used for all and every
purpose with the same ease and greater iatil y
THAI any other capstan now III use, and will be
furnished at very reasonable prlca, and no
| royalty demanded"
