A RICHMoND INVENTION.
a Nigh speed Engine the Result Of Tween
~ Years OF study.,
{ Richmond Bee. I


On Monday last, the work was so far ac-
cCmplish d that the Bee was invited to visit
Dunham's machine shop and witness the
result of twenty years If labo. Entering
the place, we were shown a small box,
perhaps foot long. and four or five inches
vide The box stood on its edge near the
steam boiler and was connected With the
latter by means Of quarter inch pipe
sticking through the side of the box was a
shalt upon which hung the small wheel of a
sewing machine. From this wheel, a round
belt was run TO a light turning lathe which
stood some STA or eight feet distant from the
box
That, said the proprietor pointing to the
box. lis what call high speed engine II
IL the result of twenty years study, and is
calculated 10 supersede the present cumber-
some steam engine. All the gear inside that
box can be carried in mans coat tail pocket,
yet it will DO the work of II four horse pow rr
engine, and do it easily.
Let her go, Link?"
The obedient Link Let on steam" accord
ing 20 orders. and immediately there was
heard a tremendous whlzzing inside the box.
the drive wheel began 10 revolve rapidly, and
the lathe, with which it WAS connected, CON-
menced spinning AT the rate of 5000 revO-
lutions q minute. There was not the slight
est jumping or pounding about the machine,
and its motion. though extremely rapid, was
~ steady and regular az clock-work.
We may say here. without betraying con
1dence, that the engine which we have de.
scibed is built almost wholly of wood, and
that 10 is merely intended TO give n hint of
what properly constructed engine will do.
Tuesday afternoon we again visited the
shop, and saw the engin, drive all the ma
chinery in the establishment, consisting
Of two lathes, . plsner. an upright drill, a
circular saw, an emery wheel and seventy
feet Of shafting. Parties who have visited
Dunhsm's machine shop will not need to
be told that all this machinery is of heavy
description. and it will increase their respect
for the high-speed engine when they learn
that the little continuance did lie work with
