(fiWYNNE’S CENTRIFUGAL PUMP.-THIS PUMP HAS 
'151 in every instance where exhibited in competition with 
other pumps, taken the highest awards—gold and silver 
medals and diplomas. It has been introduced to a great ex¬ 
tent in Europe, Asia, and South America Large orders are 
now being filled for Persia for irrigation. The proprietors of 
the British Patent, during the World’s Great Exhibition in 
London, in 1851, offered to pay $5,600 to the Mechanics’ Cha¬ 
ritable Association, if this pump did not excel any pump that 
could be brought to compete with it by fifteen per cent., while 
its cost should not exceed one-third that of any plunger, pis¬ 
ton, or rotary pump in use. The American proprietors have 
equal confidence, and are disposed to meet any party with 
any kind of pump on their own terms for a trial of respective 
advantages. That this is no vain boast, the following letters 
addressed to the inventor by some of the most respectable 
and extensive manufacturing houses in the United States, are 
considered sufficient evidence. 
South Lee, Oct. 1.1852. 
J. Stuart Gwynne, Esq.— Sir: We have had running one 
of your twelve-inch Centrifugal Pump3 for something over a 
year, raising water for washing for five paper-mill engines. 
It has been running constantly night and day since it was 
started, and has not cost us one cent for repairs. We have 
had running also one six-inch pump for about six months; 
upon this we have not expended any thing since it was start¬ 
ed. The power required to operate these pumps is less than 
that used by any other apparatus for raising water which we 
have ever used ; and where the pump is properly set up, it is 
but a fraction above the theoretical minimum of power re¬ 
quired to do the work. We consider yours to be, for the use 
required in a paper-mill, decidedly the best and most econo¬ 
mical pump that we have ever seen. Yours respectfully, 
OWEN & HURLBUT. 
Office of the Niagara Falls Paper Mills, ) 
Buffalo, January 26, 1853. ) 
Mr. J. Stuart Gwvnne, New-York.— Sir: We have the Pump 
purchased of you in operation. It gives us great pleasure to 
say that of all pumps we have ever used in our business, this 
is the only one that has worked to our satisfaction. Pre¬ 
vious to put ting in this one, we had four cast iron lifting Pumps, 
of twelve-inch bore, and one rotary Pump in use, but they all 
did not answer the purpose. This one (your Re-acting Centri¬ 
fugal Pump) throws double the quantity of water, and with 
one half the power to drive that they did. and never refuses 
to do duty. Yours, B. BRADLEY & CO. 
Russell, January 20, 1853. 
J, Stuart Gwvnne, Esq.— Dear Sir: We take pleasure in 
saying that your Centrifugal Pump works to our entire satis¬ 
faction, and that we consider it one of the most durable and 
economical Pumps in use.—Very respectfully yours. 
Signed, JOHN SMITH & CO„ 
Per F. SMITH. 
Camden, N. J„ Dec. 13, 1852. 
J. Stuart Gwvnne, Esq.— Dear Sir: I reply to yours of the 
16th, requesting our opinion of your Centrifugal Pump. We 
have now had in constant use for about three months one of 
your No. 3 Pumps, during which time it has worked to our 
entire satisfaction, throwing an amount of water equal to 
that given by our old pumps, of which we had three double- 
action six-inch cylinder. We draw the water 190 feet, with 
eight feet rise, and force it 22 feet high. We consider them 
superior to any pump we have ever 6een. and will have great 
pleasure in showing and recommending it to all requiring 
such. We may add that we find a very great saving of power 
in driving this pump, employing a narrower belt for it than 
was used for each of the old ones. 
Signed, J. It. GREENFIELD. 
Trenton, N. J., June 29, 1853. 
Dear Sir: I take great pleasure in giving you my opinion 
of your Pumps. Last winter the enlargement of our canal 
made a great deal of pumping necessary. For this work ten 
'.f your pumps were procured and put in constant use, each 
worked by a separate steam engine. The water was mixed 
with mud and other foreign matter, and yet they all worked 
without stoppage or delay; and since the completion of the 
work, upon their being carefully examined and inspected, 
they were found to be in perfect order, requiring no repair, 
in fact, they seem to be entirely free front liability to get out 
of order. Their portability is another advantage they pos¬ 
sess ; it was constantly necessary to change their location, 
which was done with but trifling delay. For our work, or that 
of like character, I believe them to be better adapted than 
any other with which I am acquainted—so, as they have been 
of the greatest service, I can very confidently recommend 
them. J, G. 8TEVENS, 
Resident Engineer Delaware and Raritan Canal. 
Hammell Mills, April 27, 1853. 
Mr. J. S. Gwvnne, New-York.— Dear Sir: I take great plea¬ 
sure in saying that the Patent Centrifugal Pump, purchased 
from you m January last, is satisfactory tome in all respects. 
For the amount of power employed, I am well satisfied it will 
throw more water than any other pump I have seen or used. 
When it was first started it was driven with a Gutta Percha 
half-inch cord, but the difficulty of keeping the ends of the 
belt fastened induced my foreman to substitute a piece of 
hemp twine, such as bundles of paper are tied up with, and 
for the past two months we have been driving this pump with 
this trifling cord. I use the Pump for bleach liquor, and it 
raised 27 feet at the rate of 40 gallons per minute. I will for¬ 
ward you an order for another Pump in a few days.
