This did not extendclear to the grate, giving more heatingsurface above the fire and not so muchsurface to cool off edge of fire as is doneby side sheets anywhere. Men alwayswant new things, but we can learn a lotfrom studying old ones, too. Scranton, Pa. John AIR MOTOR ON TURNTABLE. OPERATING—THIS BEATS THE OLD WAY. in two and put in a link, or rather a radiusblock similar to the reversing gear of theStevens geared locomotive, raising andlowering the radius block correspondingto the ordinary link block, making it adirect engine in one motion and indirectin the other. It is supplied with a frictionfoot-brake, and the flywheel is drilled fora starting bar in case the engine stops oncenter. It cost $90 to apply this motor to the front to the back of box, and Mr. I. , in the July number, I do not be-lieve this thing will work, unless one endof the tube is elevated considerably abovethe other, so as to induce circulation, as Iknow from actual experience that if atube is put in a firebox horizontally, steamwill form in the center of tube, drivingthe water out at both ends, causing thetube to be overheated and to burn , Ct.
