WIND ENGINES. 



Flint, Walling & Co., KendaUville, Ind., exhibited the Star Wind Engine. The 

 -wheel is known as the solid or rosette pattern, and is strongly braced in front by 

 heavy iron braces connected to the arias and to an extension of the main shaft. 

 The rims in which the wheel slats are fitted are so interlocked and bolted to the 

 arms that they form one continuous rim. The boxes are lined with babbit metal, 

 and have self-oiling cups protected by caps. It also has an automatic friction 

 brake, that holds the mill still when not at work. It is so nicely balanced that it 

 will be run by a very light wind. 



Meal & Bradley, 79 West Washington street, Indianapolis, Ind., exhibit two wind 

 engines manufactured by the Iron Monitor Wind Engine Manufacturing Company, 

 of Troy, Ohio. These mills are made entirely of iron, and are so constructed that 

 the fans open or close to regulate the power or stop the motion of the wheel. They 

 are well made and perfectly balanced. 



The American Well Works, Aurora, III., have on exhibition a wind engine, 

 hydraulic jetting tool, and a power earth-augur. The wind engine has an adjusta- 

 ble stroke that can be lengthened or shortened at will. It has a wrought iron mast 

 and side vane. The jetting tool is operated by hydraulic pressure, and in boring 

 or drilling a well a greater diameter can be given than the pipe through which it 

 operates. The earth-boring augur is very simple and of great capacity.
