Bristol, b. r., July ma. 



We trust that this challenge will be accepted by the Anthra- 

 cite,. There is no reason why It should not, and there is every 

 reason why it should. The Anthracite came to America to show 

 i he linn i economy of high steam in geueral and the Perkins sys- 

 temlnporl liar. Bh tW ' en most, extensively "written up" 

 liy the lay press, which does not understand anything: about such 

 iimt.lors. As yet not a single journal competent to deal with 

 engineering questions has really examined the Perkins claims 

 from a scientific standpoint; they haye so far been content to 

 give the news of her arrival and reputed performance from the 

 Ups of interested parties. The daily press having given the cue. 

 all others • , ',,,, l in iho same colors. We are not among 



those who take much stock in the Perkins system othor than as 

 it, represent* , ,ni -, e elui isj and complicated reproduction of the 



\, n, doll system. There is not a single point in the Perkins 



boiler which is superior in :h, 1 1 . , ichull' coil or to the Boot 

 boiler, or to fjuboock and Wit. o y - s boiler, or any other sectional 

 or pipe boiler. Ii is Simply R reproduction of a Very old idea, 

 clothed in a girl' just different enough to deceive the uninitiated 

 and to warrant the assumption of a special name. In principle the 

 :.iuiler is absolutely identical » ith thoBabeockandWileox.andinits 

 practical structure it Is much inferior. So for as the Perkins en- 

 fr.iD.es are concerned, they arc an entirely uncalled for eomplioa- 

 ilou and excessive weight iu proportion to the power developed, 

 the adoption of the single acting cylinders to overcome lhe 

 burning away of packing being u most crude, clumsy, and ex. 

 pensive roundabout way of overcoming a very small dillleuli y. 



To engineers, the statement which has been going the rounds 

 of the press "that the great difficulty of providing glands with 

 puoking which would not leak or burn away was finally overcome 

 by Mr, Perkins .substituting a third single acting cylinder, which 

 therefore had no gland," must, have emanated from a very won hy 

 disciple of Watt and Stephenson indeed, but it is published asgos- 

 j, ■•! i 'ii a. , , i '.I , all over the country, and is exceedingly 



complimentary to Mr. Perkins. Now, as to the truth of the matter, 

 the ;dea of using steam at high pressure as a means of obtaining 

 i sufi old as the hills, and has been worked tothefullest 

 benefit ID more than one system. Mr Perkins has simply carried 

 tils steam to still higher pressure, not because of any virlue in 

 ills apparatus, not because Others could not do the same, but sim- 

 ply because others who have worked the held have goue even 



further than Mr. Perkins, and after experiments have found that 

 in practice no economy is gained by carrying steam much over

 tional iiiiiehinery, extra frieiion of steam in Its numerous trans- 

 fers, increased areas for condensation and expansion in passages, 

 back pressures and increased weights of boiler and engine, will 

 probably account for this failing of practice to work up to 

 the standard of theory. His present engines are good only for 

 the scrap heap. No wonder that linglishmen are slow in adopt- 

 ing them, and no wonder thai the S. s. Wanderer, WO tons, Mr, 

 Lambert, has thrown the whole Perkins system overheard and 

 come back to a shell boiler and three cylinder eoni|iounds. But, 

 as the Anthracite Is here to prove things, and not merely to Inrlato 

 the average newspaper reporter or picayune nautical fiyshcei, we 

 trust that the interested parlies will not hesitate to accept any 

 reasonable challenge to an actual tesi ; otherwise, they may as 

 well make up their minds at unec that Americans will fight shy of 

 the whole business, and view the Anthracite in the same liglu 

 they do a cirnuB in the country-good enough to look m n |oj ■•_■ 

 as it is a "free show," but forgotten as soon as passed by. If the 

 Herreshoff Manufacturing Co. will offer anything like fair terms
