for compressing the air, so as to cause the water to flow in a continuous stream;
3, 3, flanch to connect to s, s, Fig. 19.
The above Invention is particularly applicable to brewhouses, ships, fire-
engines, and all descriptions of water-works, and will certainly do equal work
with two-thirds less power than any engine now in use. Although the above
detailed various sections are in some measure closely connected with each
other, it does not follow, however, that every one of them should be invariably
applied to all sorts of engines, their selection depending materially on what kind
of engine they are intended for; and as they are susceptible of being used
seperately as well as collectively, we consider it as the right and privilege
granted unto us to use and apply the said various sections, any one, any two,
or more of them together.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twenty-
third day of January, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight
hundred and sistoon.
