BRIERY & CO.'S t.ATKST IMPROVED R.^ILROAD HORSE-POWER, OVERSHOT THRESHING 

 BIACmVES AND SEPARATORS. 



THE above cut represents this most useful Machine, 

 (t(?- FOR WHICH PATENT HAS BEEN SECURED. .=£1]) 



with the latest improvemfjits, embracing some of great importance, 

 which have suggested themselves from time to time, as the vari- 

 ous kinds made and sold by us have become used, worn, or failed. 



The most important of these consists principally in the new 

 mode of applying the power and motion from the endless platform 

 to the shaft of the main driving pulley, and obtaining the neces- 

 sary motion for the Overshot Threshing Machine without cross- 

 ing of bands or intermediate gearing, and at the same time dis- 

 pensing with tho small pinions and cogs upon the links of the 

 endless platform thereby combining greater strength and durabil- 

 ity with lighter friction, without the liability of breakage of links, 

 or the wearing of links and pinions, (no small item in the expense 

 of repairs in most other kinds of powers in use.) The farmer or 

 mechanic is enabled to perform a greater amount of work, and to 

 operate them with less expense of power or elevation, a^ best suits 

 his wishes. 



Having been long engaged in the manufacture, introduction, 

 sale, and use of various kinds of Horse-Powers for different pur- 

 poses, and at all times adopted such improvements as from obser- 

 vation and experiments have seemed desirable and necessary, we 

 feel confident that in this Power, as now manufactured, all that 

 can be desired is found to a greater extent than any other hereto- 

 fore sold by U3. or with which we are acquainted. 



They were introduced to some considerable exttnt last season, 

 and wherever used side by side with the most approved Powers of 

 other kinds,havc given unqualified satisfaction and been preferred. 



The overshot Thresher and vibrating Separator with improve- 

 ments, have been sold with like success as the Powers. They ad- 

 mit of u level feeding table, thus avoiding accidents, which often 

 occur with the inclined feeding board, by preventiug hard sub- 

 stances, sticks, and stones, from getting into the machine and 

 breaking spikes, endangering those engaged with them. The 

 cylinder shaft (of cast steel) runs in bronze boxes, which arc so 

 made of two parts as easily to be adjusted when worn loose, and 

 can with little trouble always be kept tight. The speed ol the 

 power is such that a larger pulley is used on the Thresher than 

 on most others— driving stronger with less liability of slipping of 

 bands, which are made of vulcanized India rubber. The Separa- 

 tor makes a complete separation of grain from straw, leaving it 

 in best condition for Fan-mill, saving the tabor of several men. 

 and doing the work better. 



Fan-mills of rarious sizea. for hand, or fitted to be driven by the 

 Power at same time uf threshing- Also. Saw-mills in complete 

 order. 



The double Horse-Power is capable, with three or four men, of 

 threshing from Vlb to 200 bushels of wheat or rye. and the single 

 one from 75 to 100 busheU. or double that quantity of oats, per 

 day . They arc warranted to perform as above, or may bo return- 

 ed to us, or our agents of whom purchased, within three months, 

 and money refunded They may be had in Rochester, Buffalo, or 

 any of the principal ports on the lower and upper lakes, by adding
