proved construction. The boilers are of a superior de-scription, made on the same principle as the best loco-motive boilers, and tested to a pressure of 100 lbs. persquare inch. R. and S. have directed especial attentionto this important part of the Engine, with a view of ob-viating the danger arising from the inferior manner inwhich boilers fitted to Agricultural Engines are too oftenmade. These Engines require but little fuel, and are freefrom danger by fire to the surrounding ricks and farmbuildings, the ash pan being closely fitted to the fire box,and containing water for extinguishing the cinders as theyfall from the bars.

These Engines thrash, with ease, from 50 to 80 quar-ters of wheat of average yield per day, and are readilymanaged by an intelligent farm servant, on whose carewill depend, in a great measure, the quantity of fuelconsumed. The price quoted includes water-proof cover,tube cleaner, fire pricker, rake, screw spanners, oil can,a large funnel, and spare gauge glass.

Ransomes & Sims’ Portable Engines are fitted withtheir

REGISTERED LOCKINGG EAR,

the underside or bearing surface of which (secured to theEngine smoke box) is made spherically convex, whilst thecorresponding surface, bolted to the top of the axle, isconcave to fit, instead of having flat working surfaces ofthe usual kind, the central bolt forming the link of con-nection between the two. The advantages of the planare, that whilst the fore axle and wheels are perfectlyfree to turn horizontally, the axle itself is also free tomove vertically; so that, should either of the fore wheelsmeet with any obstruction tending to alter the axle’shorizontal position, the body of the vehicle is at oncerelieved from all cross strain, and is maintained undis-turbed in its level position.
