tempted to boom alleged new |
machines with the same result
the mills were stored away |
and tagged n. G.. We hail
opposition with pleasure, know
ing well that there is not a /
mill ON earth that can bc com
pared to the Aermotor. The
people on these islands are well
posted also and believe as we
do. Go over this island and
whenever you see a wheel
towering in the sky the word
"Acrmotor' will appear on the
ruddrr nine times cut uf ten.
Ask Paul lsenhcrg what hc
thinks of the Acrmotur; ask
Luther Wilcox the same
question; ask the man in charge
at the Lrmalilo Home; 90 t.
the other islands. where We
have have erected over 800
mills, and each and every
owner will tell you that it runs
smoothly; they regulate per
fectly; they do not jerk the
pump as other mills do; the
fitting tower makes oiling an
easy matter, its runs when
others stand still.
The most serious defect in
direct motion pumping wind
mills is the violence with
which they handle the
pump. The whole trouble
comes from the common
method of connecting the pump
directly with a crank on the
wheel shaft. In the pumping
Aermotor this trouble is OBJ
waited by means of back gear
ING, so that the wheel makes
three turns to one stroke of the
pump, or enough so that the
wheel may run at its natural
speed in any moderate wind,
without doing violence to the
pump or its connections. This
gives the pump a long stroke
instead of the quick, .jerky
short strokes of the ordinary
windmills. The "Graphite
Box" bearings are not "A por-
ton of the Aermotor; a gun
metal box, which is in itself the
best bearing known, is used
This bearing is made with a
large upright tube, which is
filled with machinist's waste
saturatedwith oil. This arrange
ment makes the best and most
lasting method of oiling. 1t
is the one adopted wherever
constant use makes frequent
oiling necessary. If Graphite
bearings were all that is claim
ed for them, railroad men
would have been the first to
adopt them. The fact of the
matter is, the Graphite bearing
in connection with windmills
|. has only been brought out tc
obviate the necessity of using
the fitting Tower, which is
thoroughly covered witt
patents by the Aermoter Com
pany. There is nothing in the
world to prevent the builders
of the Aermotor or anyon,
. else, from using a graphite boz
r if it were worth using. Their
is no reason why it should no
be used in reapers, mowers anC
wagons if it were worth using
