PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Motors.
I, WALTER JAMES of 49 Green Road, Leeds in the County of York, Engine Tenter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
In my improvements I employ a receiver or receivers into which is forced water or
other liquid, and in connection therewith is a cylinder or cylinders having a piston or
pistons and piston rod or rods, and the usual accompaniments necessary to form an
ordinary engine. Having obtained the required pressure in the receiver or receivers
to start the engine by the aid of a hand pump, the engine is set in motion and in so
doing brings into action pumping apparatus which keeps up the required pressure in
the receiver or receivers for retaining the engine in motion for a very long time.
Dated this 26th day of October 1889.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Motors.
1, WALTER JAMES of 49 Green Road, Leeds in the County of York, Engine Tenter,
do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manuer the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
My invention consists in applying and transmitting motive power for giving motion
to machinery and for the purpose of obtaining self sustaining motive power.
In the accompanying drawings
Fig. 1 is a longitudinal section, and
Fig. 2 a side elevation shewing my improvements.
Figs. 3 and 4 are longitudinal sections shewing my improvements arranged in
various ways.
At Figs. 1 and 2, A and A¹ are cylinders provided respectively with the pistons B
and B or rams fitted so as to work steam or water tight round the cylinder C and also
in their own cylinders A and A'. The pistons B and B¹ or rams are connected or
coupled together by the rods D shewn at Fig. 2, such rods working through the
glands E. By this arrangement the pistons Bland B₁ or rams will always work
together so as to allow the water or other liquid to move or churn backwards and
forwards between the said pistons B and B₁ or rams, and the piston F or ram in
cylinder C, and by applying the pressure at G or G¹ it will cause the pistons B and Bi
or rams to move a short distance forcing the liquid into the cylinder C and thereby
moving the piston F or ram a longer distance.
The rod H of the piston F can be coupled to a crank by suitable connecting rod in
the ordinary way, thereby transmitting motion to the machinery.
Any suitable valves may be employed at J and J¹ operated through levers K and K'
rom some moving part of the motor.
I connect a double acting pump or pumps to the connecting rod H or some other
moving part of the motor, this will pump sufficient liquid into an accumulator or
eceiver in connection with the motor that the combined arrangement will be a self
ustaining pump and motor.
Having obtained the required pressure in the accumulator or receiver to start the
ngine by the aid of a hand or other pump, the engine is set in motion and in so doing
rings into action the aforesaid pumping apparatus which keeps up the required
ressure in the receiver or receivers for retaining the engine in motion.

page_text: Suitable inlet L and outlet M. are provided for the admission and exit of the water
or other liquid.
Corresponding parts in Figs. 3 and 4 are marked with corresponding letters to
Figs. 1 and 2, such parts performing the same or equivalent duties, though modified
or varied in construction.
The passages or connections N for conveying the water or liquid from one cylinder
to the other, may be of any suitable shape and length, which may be varied to suit
circumstances.
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 I
claim is
The arrangement, construction and combination of the various parts forming the
self sustaining motor, substantially as herein set forth.
