SAMSON TURBINE 



When the PUMP cannot be direct connected to 

 the turbine shaft, the power is usually trans- 

 mitted by gears, shafting, etc. On account of 

 the HIGH SPEED of the SAMSON, for a given 

 power, lighter and consequently CHEAPER 

 transmission machinery can be used.

KIMBALL BROTHERS COMPANY 

 OTTO GAS ENGINE WORKS, Omaha, Nebraska: Council Bluffy, Iowa, Jan. 4, 1906. 



Gentlemen We take pleasure in giving you the results of our experience with our 30 H. P. Otto engine and producer. 



Prior to installing this outfit we used steam and consumed an average of one ton of $2.50 Cherokee coal per day, which brought the cost of our power to 

 about $65.00 per month of 26 days. 



We are now doing the same work with an average of 160 pounds of anthracite pea coal per day, which cost $6.10 per ton, or about $15.00 per month, 

 both of the above figures including the amount required to keep the fire banked nights and Sundays. 



Would also say that the man who formerly fired our boiler now attends the producer and devotes about eight and one-half hours, out of ten to other 

 work. BEN J. McINNERNEY, Vice-President. 



P. S. (by Us) The foregoing refers only to the saving in fuel. The actual saving will be as follows: 



To the cost of fuel for the steam plant, which was $65.00, should be added th^^ost for a fireman and engineer, which at $2.00 per day would be $52.nO, 

 which added to the $65.00, makes $117.00 as the cost of operating their steam plant per month, and which would be $1,404.00 per year. 



To the cost of operating the producer gas plant >hould be added the $15.00 per month for fuel, 20c per hour for one and one-half hours per day, or 

 :if)c per day, equals $7.80 per month, which, added to the fuel consumption, equals $22.80 per month, or $273.60 per year. 

 It will thus be seen that the saving effected by the producer gas plant is $94.20 per month, or $1,130.40 per year. 



The foregoing is not all, as the repairs on a producer plant will be considerably less than on a 

 steam plant. The risk from fire is reduced to almost nothing, and there is absolutely no danger from 

 an explosion, as from a steam plant. 



This is only one example out of many other letters that we're only too glad 

 to send you, which tell exactly what the Otto Engines and Producers 

 have accomplished in actual practice, and which are stronger proof for you 

 than any other argument we could possibly 

 advance. 



The point is, that if other users can 

 make such enormous savings with Otto 

 engines, why can't you? 



At least, wouldn't you like to 

 find out by writing us a line or
