JIACIIINE FOR CLEANING CHIMNEYS. 



Tried v^th 

 success. 



This is to certify, that Mr. George Smart, of Cambden 

 Town, by means of a machine of his own invention for sweep- 

 ing chimnics, has made two experiments on my hall and par- 

 lour chimnies, to ascertain ihe practicability of raising the 

 machine through their various windings. The first of these 

 flues measures upwards of fifty feet from the hearth, and the 

 operation was performed with apparent ease, sending down 

 a quantity of soot, together with some wet mortar, although 

 the flue had been recently sv/ept by a regular chimney fweep- 

 er. The other from the hearth measures sixty feet, and al- 

 though there are no less than three elbows in it, ruiuiing in 

 opposite directions, (as the boi/ informs me), the operation 

 was performed within nine minutes.

Certificates were also received from Mr. H. W. Dietrichsen, 

 of Pratt place, Camden Town; Mr. Charles Mill, No. 4, 

 Gloucester place, Camden Town ; Mr. John Mason, and the 

 Rev. Jeremiah Joyce, of Camden Town, testifying that they 

 had seen Mr. Smart's machine at work, and that they ap- 

 proved thereof.

Advant'gcs. 



I have the pleasure to inform you, that my machine for 

 sweeping chimnies succeeds far beyond my expectation, and 

 that I am not able to attend to one half of the orders I could 

 have for its use. 



liis Royal Highness the Prince of Wales has directed, that 

 the chimnies at Carlton-house, also those at the Pavillion, 

 shall for the future be cleansed by my machines. I have also 

 had orders to send to different pai ts of the kingdom my ma- 

 chines ready made, where they have been the means of pro- 

 viding a comfortable subsistance for poor persons not capable 

 of other business. 



The price of a machine to ascend 60 feet, including rod, 

 curtain, extra brush, and box, is ^4 14s. 6"d. 



There are two particular advantages attending my ma- 

 chines; namely, that of sweeping a great number of narrow
