Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics: a dictionary of mechanical engineering and the mechanical arts . of, and Dynamics. The name is also applied to mechanism by which the strength of a horse is advantageous-ly utilized for driving ma-chines of various kinds. Figs. 2326 and 2327 repre-sent Bogarduss horse-powerarranged for different pur-poses. The base-frame iscast into one piece, consist-ing of the central hub andthe outer ring, connected byradial arms and standing onlegs. The central hub is castwith a hollow standard prop-erly turned with a slight ta-per, to which is fitted a sleevethat turns thereon freely butaccurately, and resting onthe upper surface of the hub,and likewise with this sleeve,and making part thereof, iscast a wing, to which is se-cured by bolts the horse-beamor lever by which the wholeis operated. The other endof the wing is provided withanother sleeve cast there-with, and parallel to the first, to which is fitted accurately (but so as to admit of turning freely) thearbor of the planet-wheel and planet-wheel pinion, the former being at the top and the latter at the. 118 HORSE-POWER. bottom. One of these, either the wheel or the pinion, can be permanently attached to the arbor, andthe other keyed on after it has been inserted in the sleeve. The cogs of the pinion of the planet-wheel take into the cogs formed in the inner periphery of the rim of the base-frame, and this maybe called the master-wheel; and the cogs of the planet-wheel take into the cogs of and drive the central pinion on the upper2327- end of a vertical shaft that passes through and turns free-ly but accurately in the cen-tral hollow standard, which isadapted to it, the driving-pul-ley being keyed on the lowerend and below the hub. Aband from the driving-pulleycan be carried under the frameand between the legs to anyP place required, in the usualmanner, to drive any piece ofmachinery; but if desired, thedriving-pulley can be attachedto the central shaft above thecentral pinion
