A. Spring. 



B. Pipe from spring to machine. C. D. F. Machine. 

 to place required. 



E. Pipe conveying water from machine 



For supplying Farm lionses, Factories, Tillages, &c., &c. with Running Water. 



This is the most simple and effective machine, for forcing water ever invented ; and may be used v^here a fall 

 of two to ten feet can be procured to force a portion of any Spring or Brook, to any required elevation. It 

 combines all the advantages of cheapness, durability, simplicity and compactness. Its cost is but about one half 

 that of an ordinary or Force pump. Nothing can be more simple, as may be seen by inspecting the plate. There 

 are but few parts subject to wear, and those easily replaced. Its durability is only measured by that of the 

 material of which it is composed, viz. iron. One calculated to throw a half-inch stream to an elevation of one 

 hundred feet, will occupy but little more than one cubic foot of space. The repairs will not amount to 25 cts. 

 a year, and may be done by any person. They are so constructed, that any person may put them up. 



H^ Each Machine warranted in every respect. The necessary pipe may bo procured from the subscriber at 

 manufacturers' prices— manufactured and for sale by 



HENRY P. M. BIRKINBINE, Engineer &' Machinist, 



Central Block, Broad Street, between Race and Cherry, second floor, Philadelphia; 



Where one of the above machines may be seen in operation. 



Since the subject has been repeatedly mentioned in the Cabinet, many enquiries have been made respect- 

 ing the Ram for raising water. H. P. M. Birkinbine, of this city, it will be seen, advertises above. The Edi- 

 tor called at his shop the other day, and was e.xceedingly gratified with the working of the machine. In many 

 situations, it will be of great consequence to have this available resource for a supply of water.— Ed.
