Name and address of Exhibitor, Frick <fe Company, Waynesboro, Pa. 
The undersigned, having examined the product herein described, respectfully recommends the same to the United States Centennial Commission for 
Award, for the following reasons, viz.: 
This engine gives the best results of any that were tested, and may be regarded as a well-made, strong, and useful machine. The traveling wheels are large and powerful. 
The boiler is suspended on springs for traveling, which are let down when at work. The boiler is capacious. There is a powerful brake on the hind wheels, very useful for 
staying the engine when at work. The engine is carried on the top of the boiler, resting on a powerful bed-plate, which is hollowed out to form a receptacle for oil leakage. This 
can be detached from the brackets, and the engine converted into a fixed horizontal engine if required. The governor has three speeds, and the crank shaft is counterbalanced. 
The engine saddle has provision for varying expansion. The water heater is large, of the ordinary diaphragm form, and the pump with air chamber is well constructed. The 
cylinder has balanced slide valve. The safety valve works by a spring, which is a good arrangement, particularly when the roads are rough. Driving wheel on each side oj 
crank shaft.
