the installment of the large size for the United States 

 Government Naval Coaling Station at Narragansett 

 Bay, Ehode Island, where each ram delivers 232 gal- 

 lons of water per minute, each representing an effi- 

 ciency of 91.25 per cent. 



The accompanying line drawing show the rams 

 used at the Narragansett Bay station. The halftone 



rams themselves regarding this method of solving the 

 water supply problem. The book is free to those who 

 request it, and we therefore suggest that any of our 

 readers write to the Rife Engine Company, Trin- 

 ity Building, New York City, and request a copy. 



This company absolutely guarantees every ram they 

 sell. They give complete instructions as to how to 

 install them, or they will take charge of the entire 

 work, put in a complete water system and guarantee re- 

 sults.

Briefly stated the advantages of our Double Cylinder Engines are as follows: 



First They are more economical in the use of fuel. On light loads one cylinder can be used, reserving 

 both cylinders for heavy loads. 



Second Although weighing about one-half the weight of a single cylinder engine of same rated capacity, 

 vibrations are practically overcome, demonstrating conclusively that in proportion to strain the double cylinder 

 "Master Workman" is the stronger engine. 



Third The heavier weight of a single cylinder engine is due to the fact that it must have heavier fly- 

 wheels in the horizontal type, and a longer, higher and consequently much heavier base than is required for 

 the "Master Workman." The heavier the fly-wheels the greater the strain on the crankshaft, so you will realize 

 that neither heavier fly-wheels or a heavier base contribute one iota to the strength of a single cylinder engine. 



Fourth When vibrations are overcome, as in the "Master Workman," the lighter the engine and the less 

 cumbersome it is, the greater its sphere of usefulness and the cheaper and more convenient it can be handled. 



Fifth Lubrication in our engine is absolutely perfect. There is no forced lubrication, lubrication being 

 by gravity. Certainty of lubrication is of vital importance in the steady running and operation of a gasoline 

 engine. 



Sixth All mechanism is in full view, which will enable you to thoroughly understand the operation of a 

 gasoline engine. The worst kind of complexity is concealed mechanism.
