HAW'S 



ADHESIVE HORSE - POWER 



The above cut represents Haw's Patent Ad- 

 hesive Horse-Power, with a Threshing Ma- 

 chine attached, which is constructed by form- 

 ing a wrought iron rim, from 28 to 28 feet in 

 diameter, in eight parts, which are placed on 

 the outer ends of eight arms, which answer 

 as levers to attach the horses. The arms, or 

 levers, meet in the centre between two cast 

 iron plates, bolted to an upright piece of wood, 

 called a cone, with a dish-formed plate of 

 cast iron on the top, through which the brace 

 rods pass, for the purpose of supporting the 

 levers or arms. The rim is made to project 

 over the ends of the arms, to admit of its 

 passing between two rollers 9 inches in diame- 

 ter, on the axles of which are placed two 

 small cog-wheels, which gear into each other, 

 thereby communicating the adhesive power 

 on both sides of the rim to the lower axle, on 

 which is placed a band-wheel 6 feet 6 inches 

 in diameter, which propels the whirl on the 

 drum axle, 6 inches in diameter, giving to the 

 drum or thresher 1,200 revolutions per minute. 

 To get the necessary adhesion, a weight is 

 applied to a compound lever, which bears 

 upon the journal of the upper axle. The 

 great excellence of the above described Horse- 

 Power, consists in durability, simplicity of 

 construction, and ease of draught. There is 

 nothing complex about it. Should it get out 

 of order, it can be repaired by common car- 

 penters and blacksmiths of the country. It is 

 portable and can be set up ready for work in 

 less than three hours' time. It has less fric- 

 tion than any other in use, requiring only one- 

 sixth of the power to overcome the friction, 

 whilst the common geared horse-power re- 

 quires about half.
