other twice ina minute. Now after making the greatest 
deductions for incomplete strokes that can emanded, 
there will remain, for the actual performance of the machine, 
at least eighty gallons of water, raised fifteen feet. I[t is 
to be observed that, as the steam is used in precisely the 
same manner, whether the receivers are twenty feet or but 
one foot high, there will be the same quantity of steam used 
in the above machine, as though it were to work at its great- 
est eight, or about twenty eight feet. The maximum effect 
tha Rh the steam that would move a one horse engine, 
applied to work the above machine, will be to raise 
Sight gallons ats ‘walet twenty eight feet per minute. 
e work rse of the average strength, is found, 
when spe - _ raising of water, Riticiys st to raise 
seventy gallons, twenty five feet per minute, one fifth less 
than the above performance 
But let it be supposed that the work of this machine is 
the same, or something less, than the power of the same 
steam, as pommenly applied : : itis obvious, that for many 
would be beneficial to use it as a mechanical 
power ; for Sonn where fuel is peaks and the required 
power will not be sufficient for an expensive engine. 
The witha oom proposed by this invention, is to af- 
ford a cheap method for raising water, where it is required 
to be raised in See quantities, to heights less than twenty 
eight or twenty nine feet. It will be seen that the expense 
o all working machinery will be saved by this invention, as 
ell as the force lost by keeping it in motion, two very mate- 
ea points in the use of machinery. 
It is believed that this mashich could be used to great ad- 
vantage in dry docks, and ms all other purposes where water 
is required to be raised in a similar manner. These are the 
objects of the invention, fe should any farther explanations 
be aie necessary, they will be pitiapdly wesley
