EMERY & CO.’S 
New-York State Agricultural Society’s 
FIRST FREMIUM 
RAILROAD HORSE POWER, 
AND 
OVERSHOT THRESHER AND SEPARATOR. 
HE attention of the farming public is solicited to the newly im¬ 
proved Railroad Horse Power, as now made by the subscribers. 
Also to their Over-Shot Spike Cylinder Threshers, with Vibrating 
and Revolving Separators. 
Having had much experience in the sale and manufacture of Horse 
Powers and other Agricultural Implements; and being acquainted 
very extensively with the wants of the farmers of this country,as well 
as the character of most of the implements and machines now in nse, 
we think we hazard nothing in pronouncing our latest improved Pow¬ 
er far superior to any before made or sold by us, or with which we 
are acquainted. 
At the late Fair of the New-York State Agricultural Society, held 
at Albany, their committee on Horse Powers unanimously awarded 
us the highest premium for the best Rail Road Horse Power, among 
the large number of the most popular and approved kinds of the day, 
which were on exhibition and in competition,—it being considered the 
most efficient and durable on the ground. 
As the principal mechanical parts of its construction differ so mate¬ 
rially from those mostly sold by us previously to the past season, as 
well as from all others now in use, we have thought it an object to 
the farmers, as well as for our own interest, to illustrate them by cuts 
and descriptions, as follows: 
-Fy-.i. 
B 
Fig. 1, represents the top view of the forward portion of the Pow¬ 
er, (with the endless platform removed,) showing the side sills, A.A., 
Fig. 3, represents the face view 
of the converge, gear wheel, G 
and pinion, D. as working to¬ 
gether when in use—which are 
confined on the shafts outside the 
frame of the power. One of 
the arms of the wheel has a 
plate projecting a little from its 
Tice, and calculated for receiv¬ 
ing a wrist pin for driving a pit¬ 
man, or connecting rod, often 
used, and necessary for propell¬ 
ing cross-cut saws, pumping wa¬ 
ter, churing butter, Ac., where 
a vibratory motion is desired. 
Fig. 4, represents the side view of 
one of the reels, c. two of which are con¬ 
fined upon the forward, shaft. The dri¬ 
ving pulley. B. may be attached to eith¬ 
er end of shafts, b.., as required for fast 
or slow motions. 
The endless platform is composed of 
links connected by small shafts extending 
across the power, and through them far 
enough to receive small truck-wheels, 
which support the platform, and traverse on an iron track the whole 
circuit, except at the forward end of the power—when the small shafts 
are received into and supported by the forks of the reels, c. on the 
forward shaft, thereby giving it motion and power. 
The diameter of the reels is such, that the ordinary walk of horses, 
or about two miles and a quarter per hour, give them about fifty- 
five revolutions per minute. The diameter of the pinion, D being 
about one fourth the diameter of the converge gear, and consequent¬ 
ly receive about two hundred and twenty motions per minute, and 
in the SAME DIRECTION—(which direction is found most con¬ 
venient for all purposes, and indispensable for driving our Over Shot 
Threshing Machines, without crossing of bands.) The pinion work¬ 
ing inside of the converge gear, allows more cogs to be in constant 
bearing, is stronger, and runs much lighter than spurr gearing, or 
rack and pinion. When arranged as in diagram, Fig. 1, sufficient 
speed is obtained with either horses or oxen, (which last are often used) 
for threshing grain, ginning cotton, sawing wood, grinding feed, gra¬ 
ting apples, Ac. &c. 
When less motion is desired for other purposes, the band pulley, 
B. may be attached to either end of the reel shaft, and receive but fifty- 
five revolutions; and when still slower motion is required, as for 
driving Elevators, Hay Presses, and Paddle Wheels for Ferry Boats, 
or propelling boats in the lumber and wood business, on many of our 
rivers and lakes, the pinion may be confined upon the reel shaft, and 
converge wheel upon the other, which serves to reduce the motion to 
about fourteen revolutions per minute, with increased power in pro¬ 
portion to decreased motion, the travel of horses being the same in 
all cases. 
The advantages of these arrangements are numerous, and plainly 
seen—one of which is removing all the gearing and wearing parts to 
the outside of the power, where it is free from dust, and dirt, Ac., and 
where it may be boxed up, requiring little time or oil to keep them in 
the best possible running order. 
The liability of breakage and wear, and slipping of links and pin¬ 
ions. as in the rack and pinion powers, (and most others) is wholly 
removed. In shipping them, the gears are taken off and packed in a 
box with other things. 
Having sold a large number of the IMPROVED Machines the 
past harvest, all of which, having given entire satisfaction, and when 
used side by side with the most approved of other kinds, having been 
preferred, we do not hesitate to recommand and warrant them equal, 
if not superior, to any before made or sold by us, or of which we 
have any knowledge. 
Our Thresher consists of a small spiked cylinder, about fifteen in¬ 
ches in diameter, and twenty-six inches long, with a substantial 
spiked concave above this cylinder, which is adjustable to the work 
to be done. The feeding table being level, allows the feeder to stand 
erect, and is little annoyed with dust and dirt—and no possibility of 
hard substances getting into the Thresher, to its injury. 
We attach a vibrating or revolving separator to them, which 
serves to separate all the grain from the straw, and leave it with the 
fine chaff for fanning mill, while the straw is carried off for stack 
mg. 
Having heretofore been obliged to have a large portion of some parts 
of our work done by contract, we have felt the inconvenience and 
want of dependance to be placed upon the quality of materials and 
workmanship; we have now so extended our facilities, as to enable us 
to make all parts of all our own machines, and can now assure the 
public that none but the best work and stock will be offered by us.
