EDWARD SCHOLEY, of Acadia Mines, Londonderry, in the County of Colchester and
Province of Nova Scotia, British North America, Forgeman and Machinist, do hereby
declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:
This Machine is driven by two, three, or more Levers. On the Frame there are
four pedestals and two Axels, the Axels are two feet four inches long placed
borizontal.
There are two driving wheels and two counter wheels, one driving wheel on each
end of the driving wheel Axle, and one counter wheel on each end of the Counter Axle
run into each other. The two driving wheels are twenty nine and one half inches
diameter, the counter wheels are fourteen and one half inches diameter. On the
driving wheel Axel there are three Cams, on the Counter Wheel Axle there are three
Cams. On the driving wheel Cams there are two one Section of a Cog Wheel on the
side of each Cam, and on on the three Counter Axle Cams there is one Section Cam
on the side of each Cam.
The Frame for the three Levers is placed between the driving wheel axle and the
Counter wheel Axle.
There are three Spaces in the Frame to admit two Steel dies each-each two dies
are the hearings for one Lever with Egg Ends. Two inches from the Lever Axle the
Lever forms a half circle with a two inch wheel on the end to save friction. The three
Cams on the Counter Axle are sufficiently large for Section Cam to lift the Lever to
the proper height to meet the driving Section Cog wheel. Half of the first Stroke of
the Lever will lift and clear the other Lever so that both the Levers are drawing at
one time, and by working three Levers there are two drawing all the time. The

page_text: Levers are connected only at one end at a time. One Stroke of the Lever is geared to
put the driving wheel one third round, so that the Counter Cam is ready to meet the
Lever. The Levers are eighteen inches long with a Steel Axle, each two and one half
inches long with
ends.
Four and one half inches from the end of the Lever there is a one Section of a
Cog wheel at an angle to meet one of the Cams Section on the driving wheel
Cam.
This Machine will also work with connecting Rods to answer as Counter Levers
to lift the Levers, and will also work with Section Cams in place of Section Cog wheels,
or with one driving wheel and one Counter wheel.

page_text: I EDWARD SCHOLEY, of Acadia Mines Londonderry in the County of Colchester
and Province of Nova Scotia British North America, Forgeman and Machinist do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:
This Machine is driven by one, two, three, or more levers E. E¹ E". On the Frame
there are four pedestals A A A¹ Á¹ and two Axles H J K. The Axles H are two feet
four inches long placed horizontal. There is one driving wheel G and one Counter
wheel G which gear with each other. The driving wheel G is twenty nine and one
half inches in diameter and the Counter wheel G¹ is fourteen and one half inches in
diameter. On the driving wheel Axle there are three Cams, and on the Counter
Wheel Axle K, there are three Cams, C. C. C. On each driving wheel there
are two Sections of a Cog wheel. On the side of each cam and on the counter axle
cams there is a one Section Cain on the side of each Cam.
The Frame B. B. B. B. B. for the three Levers E. E' E" is placed between the
driving wheel Axle H, and the Counter wheel Axle K. There are three spaces in the
Frame to admit two Steel dies each.
Each two dies are the bearing of one Lever with egg ends. Four inches from the
Lever's Axle the Lever forms a half circle, with a two inch wheel, a, on the end to save
friction. The three Cams C. C. C. on the Counter Axle K, are sufficiently large for
the Section Cam to lift the Lever to the proper height to meet the driving section cog
wheel.
Half the first stroke of the Lever will lift and clear the other Lever, so that both
Levers are drawing at one time, and by working three Levers there are two drawing
all the time.
One stroke of the Lever E is geared to put the driving wheel one third round, so that
the Counter Cam Cis ready to meet the Lever E.
The Levers E. E E" are eighteen inches long with a Steel Axle b. b. each two and
one half inches long with egg ends. Four and one half inches from the end of the
Lever E there is a one Section of a Cog wheel at an angle to meet one of the Cams
Section on the driving wheel Cam F. This Machine will also work with connecting
Rods to answer counter Levers to lift the Levers; and it will also work with Section
Cams in the place of Cog wheels, or with one driving wheel and one counter
wheel.
The Levers, E. E¹ E" can be made length to suit by having Counter motion.
The connecting Rods or Levers-I call them beams-to lift the Levers are lifted
by cams, there is a stay to receive the Lever, to prevent the knock on the
Cam.
These cams are stationary, or movable, to suit distance or power.

page_text: By taking the counter wheel. G from front to back, the Levers or connecting Rods
can be made any length according to power wanted.
The Axles b. in the Levers are put distance to suit, they shall work in pedestals
same as all other beams. These beains, Levers or connecting Rods, can be geared to
work on the top or bottom. The beams, Levers, or connecting rods can be lifted by
crank pins in place of Cams. The levers will work with axles and pedestals like
other beams. The Levers will work on the top or bottom, by moving the segments of
the Levers and the other gear to suit it. By working cam motion the Levers will
work with loose wheel cams, in place of Semi Cams. The loose cams run round on a
pin on the driving shaft Cam. The Segments on the driving shaft cams are movable
or stationary to suit distance or power.
This Machine will work with or without fly wheels regulated by brakes connected
with govners or air pressure brakes.
By having two or more Machines connected, it divides stroke, and can be worked to
advantage.
The cams can be changed larger or smaller with single or double segments to suit
power and stroke, and the Frame or pedestals moved to suit the beams.
By adding more Levers more power is obtained.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said Inven-
tion, and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare that what 1
claim is
First A Machine full and complete in itself and capable of producing its own
power.
Second That this power will effectually perform the driving power of Steam, now
used in Machine Shops, Railways, Steam Ships, or elsewhere; and
Third That this power is produced without the assistance of Coal, Coke or any such
foreign substance, and at a mere nominal cost.
Dated this Twenty eighth day of April Eighteen hundred and eighty eight.
