THE RIFE HYDRAULIC ENGINE . . . = 



Is the most simple and efficient machine yet divised for elevating water for irrigation, filling railroad tanks, supplying 

 mills, factories, dairies, stock yards, country residences, small towns, and for various other purposes. This ram is 

 self-operating, constant in action, and Is not only much more efficient than anything of the kind ever put upon the 

 market, but from absence of wearing parts, more durable and every way reliable. Many may be referred to that have 

 run for years, elevating water in some cases from 100 to 300 feet without any attention or expense in the way of repairs. 

 These machines have already come largely into use in all parts of the country, and are rapidly superseding every 

 other device for the purpose. They will work effectively under a head as IOTT as two feet and for every foot of rail will 

 elevate twenty feet. By means of an adjusting lever the capacity of any of the various sizes can be reduced fifty per 

 cent, or more, as may be desired, to provide for a variation in water supply, without disadvantage or loss in efficiency. 



WATER RAISED AND WASTE . 



The fall from the spring, stream or other source of supply to the engine determines the height to which the water 

 can be elevated, as well as the relative proportion between the water raised and wasted, the quantity raised varying 

 according to the height it is carried and the distance conveyed. For ordinary purposes it is sufficient to say that witl 

 a discharge pipe 1,000 feet in length, one-sixth of the water can be raised and discharged at an elevation five times the 

 height of fall or one-twelfth ten times the height of fall. 



Parties writing for information should give the quantity of water that can be supplied to the engine, either in gal- 

 lons, cubic feet or miners' inches; the head or fall from source of supply to point where the engine is to be located, 

 length of drive pipe, height to which the water Is to be raised, distance from engine to place of discharge and the 

 quantity of water it is desired to elevate. No reliable information can be afforded without an explicit answer to these 

 inquiries.
