| separate sixths of the revolution, and
 the control is centred in a device which
 is also my invention and whose purpose
 and effect only need be described. No
 free steam engine Is economical. The
 exhaust part of my engine Is constantly
 open to the atmosphere in an uncom- pounded typo.
 | Tn compromising I can get results | that are more marvellous to the en
 gineer than the engine Itself will be
 to the public.
 l An engine must run according to the work 1t has to do. can automati-
 cally control my engine so that If 1t
 makes one more revolution a minute
 than a given number steam will be
 cut off until the engine drops to its
 desired place. There are few recip-
 rocating engines but can do the same
 thing but there Is none that by the
 same device can cause an engine over
 coming a friction load of 100 horse
 power to drop almost instantly to one- | half or less horse power. My rotary engine will do 1t, Even a reciproca- l ting engine which could do that would
 be hailed by every engineer and pow CT plant owner as a wonderful inven- | tion
 This control this mobility and the | absence of vibration whatever allow me | to connect ulTectly Ino axle or the drive wheels of a railway type of my engine would be a part of the cylinder itself. and the only limit to speed Is the centrifugal residence of the steel of which the revolving parts are built, l or the expansive speed of steam. Two thousand revolutions a minute | Is the rate at which I have run my engine for long stretches of time. Com
 pute that with a forty eight Inch drive wheel Such a wheel will travel, not allowing for any resistence, 25,0OO feet l a minute. or making the allowance and dividing in 5,2S0 feet to the mile, four
 miles a minute, or 240 miles an hour. MT. Cornelius Vanderbilt, than whom there is no more progressive and broad minded mechanic in the world, has been very much interested in my work for | a number of years. One day told him | that I expected to build an engine that would take him from New York to | Buffalo in two hours and half every day in the year. A great constructing
 engineer stood with us, and as I said this the engineer stepped back, as If
 he expected me to pick up a hammer
 and brain him any moment. as any dangerous lunatic might be looked to Ido. Mir. Vanderbilt only smiled at | the other man, and remarked gravely:
 " If your engine will do what think
 it should. it will make scrap iron out of every other engine-stationary, marine
 or railway--in the world
 Perhaps I do wrong to speculate on
 the changes which my engine will work
 in the worlds affairs. There Is not
 much pleasure in 1t for me. I believe every man has a definite purpose as- signed him by his Creator. and why
 should tender myself qualification be-
 cause I have used the faculties given
 me and have achieved my task. There Is no reciprooatinR engine which has been able to minimize the
 friction load more than the Ryan en- 1 zine Its friction load Is seven per
 cent. In my 300 horse power engine
 the load Is one per cent.
 My engine can be directly connected
 to a dynamo and first cost of dynamo
 be reduced fifty per cent
 My engine requires one-third the
 floor space and one-fourth the hold space of the most compact reciprocating
 engine ever built. I can produce a horse power with a consumption of not
 to exceed twenty pounds of steam per horse power in engines of from two to
