"The advantages to be derived from the adoption of this arrangement in fire engines are, that the work would be performed with one cylinder which is now done by two of the same diameter, whereby the friction would be reduced one half, and that a rotary mode of working would be substituted for the reciprocating, by the former of which it is generally considered that a man can employ his strength with greater effect.

"The present Invention not only provides for a ready and easy mode by which the pilot can through an engine control the vessel, if a steam vessel, with facility directly from his station at the pilot house without any intervening action of an engineer, but it furthermore provides for propelling such screw by the crew through the capstan when the steam power is crippled, or when, in a sailing vessel, the want of headway renders a common rudder useless, and in such manner that while the crew continuously work the capstan in one direction, the pilot can start, reverse, and stop the screw instantaneously at pleasure, and thus keep a vessel's head to sea after all headway is lost, which must effectually prevent the foundering of a vessel by reason of falling into the trough of the sea; and in a steam vessel these two powers are, so connected that either can be used, and the other applied in its stead instantaneously. The object of the lever G is to move the clutch 9 and engage it with one or the other of the bevil spur wheels f, f, and thus engage either of these wheels with the shaft d' at the pleasure of the pilot, according to the direction in which it is desired to have the steering screw turn.

"My invention consists in so forming such furnaces or flues that the parts most affected by the heat of the fire are rendered stronger than the parts which are less exposed to such heat, and whereby such highly heated parts have increased capacity for expansion and contraction. In carrying out my invention I form the corrugations in the furnace or flue deeper at the crown or upper part thereof than at the bottom or lower part of the furnace or flue.

By my invention I am enabled to attain a perfectly even draught upon the fibre and to use an endless apron with the drawing rolls, which forms a much more elastic cushion and gives a better grasp upon the fibre with little tendency to injure or break it; I am also enabled to operate the machines with much less pressure upon the drawing rolls than heretofore thereby effecting a considerable reduction in the power required and in the wear of the machine.",1882,0
"To obviate this defect I employ the mineral ore tap G which is shown best in the detail views Figs. 2, 3, and 4. The tap G discharges the grains which are larger than the meshes of the sieve in such a manner as to keep the bed at the level necessary for good filtration. There is also the further advantage of obtaining the granular ore with very little loss of water for by placing the opening h¹ as shown the resistance which the grains present to the water in the interior of the tap is sufficient to prevent the escape of much water with the grains. By the application of the ore tap G to an old jigger the output is greatly increased and the classification of the material to be washed is greatly simplified.",1889,1

"This invention has relation to that class of typewriters which embody bars resting in a horizontal or inclined position between the platen and the key board, the primary objects of the invention are, to shorten and lighten the machine by bringing the key board adjacent to the outer ends of the type-bars, and as near to the carriage as possible; thereby securing greater convenience and less arm movement in returning the carriage; and to hang the type bars in the shortest practical segment, thereby reducing the angle of their divergence from a vertical line in the centre, and thus hang them in such operative position, that looseness in their pivots from wear or otherwise, will have little or no effect upon the alignment, and thus increase the durability of the machine for perfect work. Another object of my present invention is to provide a loug bearing for the type bars in a series of supporting plates or hangers, by having the long pivoted point of the bars passing freely through one, two or more of the plates adjacent the sides of the bars and having their ends pivotally supported in distant plates, in contradistinction to pivoting them in adjacent plates, which makes a very firm and rigid support for the type bars, as will be readily understood. A further object of my present invention is to place the pivotal points of the type bars one above and outside of the other on a line at an inclination of forty-five degrees to a vertical line drawn from the printing point of the platen, and to make each type bar as much shorter than the one adjacent to and below it, as it is above a horizontal line drawn from the pivotal point of the bar below, whereby while they print at a common point, the outer ends of all the type bars are in a line, while at the same time the bars vary in length. Arother object of my invention is to connect the finger keys directly to the levers, which are in turn connected with the short ends of the type bars, the relation of the connected ends of the type bars and the levers being such that when the short ends of the type bars rise in the act of carrying their longer ends to the printing point, the adjacent ends of said levers also rise, whereby the relation of the short ends of the type bars and the connected ends of said levers remain substantially the same, thus not affecting the leverage between the said levers and type bars throughout the entire stroke of the former in contradistinction to having the connected ends of the levers change their relative position to the short ends of the type bars, thus shortening the leverage upon the type bars as its longer end approaches the printing point, which is a great advantage, in that the same leverage is maintained throughout the entire stroke of the bars, as will be readily understood, and enabling a stronger blow to be given the type bar with the same amount of touch. The object of this construction is to permit of the adjustment of the bars b towards or away from the bell crank levers P, in the assembling of the machine in order that they may be in their proper relative positions. The object however, in extending the lower ends of the bell crank levers P substantially in a horizontal line, is to prevent making the base of the machine high, as it would otherwise be if the ends of the bell crank levers extended down. Another object of this is that by having them extend outward I gain a greater leverage for the reason that the connecting points of the finger keys with the levers is farther from the pivotal point in a horizontal line than would be the case if the lower ends of the levers extended in a line with the upper ends, as will be readily understood.",1896,1
"The said Invention relates to the production of certain ornamental effects on paper for hangings and other purposes in a superior and economical manner. The object of the arrangement of the parts in connection with the discs 14 as just described was to admit of a cylindrical shell or mask of thin sheet metal, and having devices cut in it as in a stencil plate, being attached to the discs 14, so as to surround the much more rapidly revolving brush 4, and be between it and the cylinder 9.",1874,0

Moreover in the improved action constructed according to my invention, the regulation is considerably facilitated.",1892,1
"My invention relates to an improved method of manufacturing earthen-ware pipes and has for its objects: Firstly, to widen or increase the area of the outlet apertures of the press mouthi-piece without increasing the dimensions of the pipes, and by this means to influence the pressing in the most favourable degree. Secondly, to bring the pressed pipes in such a mutually relative position that the operation of separating, removing, and transporting the pipes to the drying room is greatly simplified and the productive capacity of the working staff con- siderably increased.",1899,1
