Tais placed a heavy strain on the gearwork. caus- ing breakdowns, and very often stripping the cog-wheels of their teeth. This has all been overcome in the Marbach device, because the strain incident to reversing is placed entirely on the brake-lever, relieving all stress on the gears. Another feature of this machine is that it can be reversed while in motion: a pressure on the brake lever slows derf ection that they are exceedingly reli- able and efficient, and in view of the fact that a 5team-€ngine is expensive, and that a water-motor is out of the question for most localities, the internal-combustion engine, driven by the force of an explosion, is the mc^t available power for this purpose. Small air-cooled engines of this type are now made in one-hor^e-power sizes that win drive a honey-extractor with a consumption of gasoline of only one quart for a run of ten hours, and the cost of the engine is only from to $;j at the factor?-, and they are so simple in construct^jn that any child capable of reading and understanding directions can manage them. The method of transmitting the power of the engine to the machine is shown in the ac-companying illustrations. In view of the.
