east and west and the one thousand
horse power reversible engine which
runs it is locate under the east halt
/ of it and sunk four feet in the ground.
The machinery is very similar to that
used in the power houses of the cable

sumo hoarse roar that they do. II
operates a north-and- south iron shaft
L. inches in diameter, with great cog
wheels at each end, by means OF
which the power is applied at each
side of the wheel.
The periphery of both of the great
outer crowns Of the great wheel is
cogged, the cogs being bout six inches
deep and about eighteen inches apart;
and the power of the engine is ap.
piled at the DO tom OF the wheel.
Underneath the wheel, in line with
the crown on each side, arc bwu
sprocket wheels nine feet in diameter,
with their centers sixteen feet
apart. They are connected by
an immense endless driving chan,
which plays on their own cogs and on
the cpgs OF the great wheel as well.
These sprocket wheels are operated by

who can turn the wheel either way,
and fast or slowly, as he may wish.

In the construction of this great wheel

is all open work. the cars present an
immense resisting surface. But Mr..
Rice points to the two towers, with
their bases fifty feet north and south

of 100 miles an hour would have no
