only a small amount of work is required to be done at once, for which it 

 would not be worth while getting up steam. Further, as horses may be 

 economically used when other work is slack, the cost of steam is thus 

 saved. In fig. 362 is shown one of the various sixes of horse gear which 



Messrs. Hunt & Co., Earls Colne, Essex, supply. Other forms can be 

 fitted with a separate intermediate motion for increasing the revolutions 

 when greater speed is required, as in grinding, pulping, &c. This can 

 be left out when the gear is used for working corn-stackers, pumps, &c.
