EMERY & CO.’S 
LATEST IMPROVED RAILROAD HORSE POWER, AND OVERSHOT THRESHING 
MACHINE AND SEPARATOR. 
THIE above cut represents this most useful machine, with the LA- 
^ TEST IMPROVEMENTS, \CJ = ‘For which Patent is secured , 
embracing some of great value and importance—which have sug¬ 
gested themselves from time to time as the various kinds made and 
sold by us have become worn, used and failed. 
The most important of these consists principally in the mode of 
applying the power and motion from the endless platform to the 
shaft of the main Driving Pulley, and obtaining the necessary mo¬ 
tion for the Overshot Threshing Machine, without crossing 
bands or intermediate gearings, and at the same time dispensing 
with the small pinions and cogs on the links of the endless platform, 
—thereby combining Greater Strength and Durability with 
lighter friction, without the liability of breakage of links, or 
the wearing of links and pinions,—(no small item in the expense of 
repairs in most other kinds of powers in use.) The farmer or me¬ 
chanic is enabled to perform a greater amount of work, or to ope¬ 
rate with less power or elevation, as best suits his wishes. 
Having been long engaged in the Manufacture, Introduction, 
Sale, See., of.the various kinds of Horse Powers, for different purpo¬ 
ses. and at all times adopted such improvements as from observation 
and experiment have seemed necessary and desirable, we feel confi¬ 
dent that in this Power, as now manufactured, all that can be desi¬ 
rable, is found to a greater extent than any heretofore sold by us, or 
with which we are acquainted. They were introduced to some con¬ 
siderable extent last season, and wherever used side by side with the 
most approved Powers of other kinds, have given unqualified satis¬ 
faction, and been preferred. 
The Overshot Threshers and Vibrating Separators, with improve¬ 
ments, have been sold with like success as the Powers. They admit 
of a level feeding table, thus avoiding accidents, (which often occur 
with the inclined feeding board,) by preventing hard substances, 
Sticks and Stones from getting into the Machine and breaking 
Spikes, endangering those engaged with them. The Cylinder Shaft, 
(of Cast Steel,) runs in Bronze Boxes, which are so made of two 
parts as easily to be adjusted when worn loose, and can with little 
trouble, always be kept tight. The speed of the Power is such that 
a larger pulley is used on the Thresher than on most others—driving 
stronger, with less liability of slipping of Bands, which last are made 
of Vulcanized India Rubber. The Separator makes a complete se¬ 
paration of Grain from the Straw, leaving it in the best condition for 
the Fan Mill; thus saving the labor of several men, and doing the 
work better. 
Fan Mills of various sizes, for Hand, or fitted to be driven by the 
Power, at same time of threshing. Also, Saw Mills in complete 
order. 
The Double Horse Power is capable, with 3 or 4 men, of thresh¬ 
ing from 125 to 200 bushels of Wheat or Rye, and the Single one 
from 75 to 100 bushels, or double that quantity of Oats per day. 
They are warranted to perform as above, or may be returned to us 
or our Agents, of whom they were purchased within 3 months, and 
the purchase money refunded. 
They may be had in Rochester, Buffalo, or any of the principal 
ports on the lower or upper lakes, by adding transportation. 
Good agents will attend to the sale of them in those places.
