 THE above Ilorse Powers have been awarded the highest 

 Premiums at the Fairs of the New York State Agricultural 

 Society in lSo<i, and again in 1851 ; also, the highest Pre- 

 mium at the Michigan State Fair, at Detroit, in September, 

 ISol, where a majority of tlie Committee owned and were 

 using Wheeler's Powers on their farms, having purchased 

 thera previous to seeing our own ; also a Gold Medal at the 

 American Institute in 1851. It was also exhibited at the 

 State Fairs of Ohio, Maryland, and Pennsylvania, and re- 

 ceived the higlicst awards which could be given by the 

 rules of their Societies. In every case, it has been in com- 

 petition with all endless chain Powers of any note in this 

 country. 



Over SIX HUNDRED setts of the above Powers were 

 sold and put in use from June to January last, not one be- 

 ing returned or failed. 



To enable the public to distinguish the above Horse Pow- 

 er from all others, we here show its principle, and most im- 

 portant, parts, by diagrams and references — beside like 

 diagrams and references of the Pack and Pinion Power, as 

 made by ourselves, Wheeler's and others ; and also the 

 Pack and Pinion with epicycloydal teeth, which has long 

 been successfully used in this vicinity, and which, with our 

 recent improvements, in its adaptation and application to 

 our Horse Power maehinerv places it the first on the list of 

 Eack and Pinion Powers.
