GAS ENGINE NEARLY
READY FOR MARKET

A meeting of the local stockholders
of the Brown Rotary Gas Engine com.
paDy was held Tuesday evening, in the
office of Secretary A. w. Stowe. The
meeting was called primarily to raise
money to pay off the last dollar of in
debtedness incurred in patenting the
machine and building the 300-horse.
power engine with which the company
will make demonstrations.
A good share of the 1000 shares of
stock placed on the market was sub
seribed at the meeting and the books
will remain open until this has been
disposed of, when no more will be sold.
The stock is selling at its par value of
81 per share.
1t is claimed for this engine that it
is the first rotary gas engine ever per-
feeted satisfactorily and it promises to
revolutionize the gas engine industry.
This engine can be operated by gas,
gasoline or crude oil, and also, with a
few slight changes, can be operated by
steam, air or water. IL can also be
made a very economical air compressor,
blower or pump. Among the distin-
gushing new features in gas engines
is its rotary movement and the flexible
combustion chamber The engine is
simplicity itself, having less than 20
parts, and all friction is reduced to a
minimum by the use of rollers. The driv
ing shaft is the only movable exposed
part, and there are no gears to strip,
no valves, no complicated mechanism
TO get out of adjustment, no springs
and only one or two spark plugs. No
carbon can accumulate, and while the
engine can be built for a minimum cost
it is very durable.
The engine has absolute throttle con
troll from a fraction to it's full power Or
capacity, and is as flexible as a steam
engine in its control, and the speed can
be regulated from extreme low speed to
extreme high speed or any intermediate
speed, changing Immediately as desired
w throttle control If so desired it can
be used as stationary engine with
sny fixed speed desired.
The combustion chamber, which Is
al. innovation in gas engines, is so con-
strueted that il is controlled by gas
governor as well as the throttle con-
troll, and the mixture of air and gas
i compressed TO its highest efficiency
al all times, at any altitude, or whether
in large or small quantities, and no
matter how small charge is used it is
exploded under uniform pressure, under
all conditions, thus making big saw
ing in the fuel cost. The fuel efficiency
OF all fuel consumed is always obtained
For automobile use il will eliminate
at least 65 per cent of transmission
gears and will also reduce the weight
of an automobile at least 80 per cent
reducing the cost for fuel, tires and lu
bTieants.
Another important feature OF this en-
CINE is that it can be reversed at viii
and can be started by one-fourth rev
olution of the engine, doing away with
eranking and all forms of self starters
1t can be built for any purpose de
sired, large or small, for any desired
speed, and is adapted for automobiles
acroplanes, motor boats and any Other
Use to which a gasoline engine can be
put.
The company las built 3OO-horse
power engine, weighing less than fouI
hundred pounds, and will soon be ready
TO make demonstrations.
All rights have been fully protected
by patent and it is expected that with
in sixty days this new engine will
cause a sensation in the motive power
world, especially in the automobile en-
zine industry.
