in the County of Middlesex Secretary of the Inventors Patentright
Association Limited for an Invention of "IMPROVED APPARATUS OR
APPLIANCES APPLICABLE TO STEAM HYDRAULIC AND OTHER MOTORS FOR THE
PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY THEREOF communicated to him
from abroad by Messrs Bonicard and Huet, persons resident at Bordeaux
(Gironde) in the Republic of France
PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Thomas Morgan at the
Office of the Commissioners of Patents on the 13th June 1888.
THOMAS MORGAN, of 21 Cockspur Street, Charing Cross, in the County of
Middlesex, Secretary of the Inventors Patantright Association Limited ;
"IMPROVED APPARATUS OR APPLIANCES APPLICABLE TO STEAM, HYDRAULIC
AND OTHER MOTORS, FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY
THEREOF (a communication to me from abroad by Messrs Bonicard and Huet,
persons resident at Bordeaux (Gironde, in the Republic of France).
"
This Invention has for its object an apparatus which may be applied to motors
of any description for the purpose of increasing the amount of work that they
are capable of performing
This apparatus is composed of a crank fast upon the shaft of a motive power
engine, and jointed to one extremity of a connecting rod or link, which causes two
levers to work round a fixed point or fulcrum.
During the rotation of the crank, one of the levers performs an alternating
circular motion which by the action of lateral coupling rods, is converted into a
continuous circular motion of another crank, connected to one extremity of the
other lever by a crank pin, which transmits continuous circular motion to
the axis.

page_text: The two driving shafts, although worked by cranks of unequal radius, rotate at
the same speed, whence arises the difference in the effective power.-By means of
this apparatus, the efficiency of motive power engines may be considerably
augmented, whence results great saving of fuel in the case of steam generators,
and of water in the case of hydraulic motors, the amount of coal and water
consumed being in proportion to the work performed.
This apparatus may be readily constructed for any power, is very safe in its
action, entirely obviates dead points, converts or transmits movements with
facility and regularity, an effect which has hitherto involved the employment of
dangerous and inconvenient gearing and the like. The apparatus may be arranged
upon a cast iron frame or stand of appropriate form and dimensions.

THOMAS MORGAN of 21 Cockspur Street Charing Cross in the County of
Middlesex Secretary of the Inventors Patentright Association Limited-
IMPROVED APPARATUS OR APPLIANCES APPLICABLE то STEAM HYDRAULIO
AND OTHER MOTORS FOR THE PURPOSE OF INCREASING THE EFFICIENCY
THEREOF. (A Communication to me from abroad by Messrs Bonicard & Huet
persons resident at Bordeaux (Gironde) in the Republic of France
This Invention has for its object an apparatus which may be applied to motors
of any description for the purpose of increasing the amount of work that they are
capable of performing
This apparatus is composed of a crank a fast upon the shaft h of a motive
power engine and jointed to one extremity of a connecting rod or link 6 which
causes two levers m and c to work round a fixed point or fulcrum f-During the
rotation of the crank a the lever m performs an alternating circular motion which
by the action of the lateral coupling rods d d and b is converted into a continuous
circular motion of a crank e connected to one extremity of the lever c by a crank
pin which transmits continuous motion to the axis g
The two driving shafts h and g although worked by cranks of unequal radius
rotate at the same speed whence arises the difference in the effective power at g.
By means of this apparatus the efficiency of motive power Engines may be
considerably augmented whence results great saving of fuel in the case of steam
generators and of water in the case of hydraulic motors-The amount of coal and
water consumed being in proportion to the work performed
This apparatus may be readily constructed for any power, is very safe in its
action, entirely obviates dead points converts or transmits movements with
facility and regularity an effect which has hitherto involved the employment of
dangerous and inconvenient gearing and the like. The apparatus may be arranged
upon a cast iron frame or stand k of appropriate form and dimensions
I claim the invention substantially as hereinbefore set forth and described and
illustrated by the accompanying drawings
In witness whereof I the said Thomas Morgan have hereunto set my hand
and seal this thirteenth day of December in the year of our Lord 1883
