In that case it would be well to make the large wheel 12 feet and the pinion 18 inches, as the friction is less as the pinion is larger. Garden Engine.—(Fig. 114.) The box of this engine will hold 40 gallons—with cast iron wheels, and handles so that one person can wheel it j 2£ inch double action pump, and will throw water 70 feet horizontally and 40 feet high, with one person to work it. They are well calculated for watering gar- dens, washing windows, destroy- ing worms on trees or shrubbery, protecting buildings against fire from other buildings, &c.
