The New Stilwell Water Motor.
There is a growing demand for small amounts of power for running sewing machines, fans, printing presses and for innumerable other purposes. The means by which this power is supplied must be economical, simple, cleanly, safe and easy of operation. Nothing have been found to meet these requirements So well as the water motor. The reservoirs and pumping plants of city water-works has usually a large surplus capacity kept for emergencies, part of which might be profitably used in running water motors.
The one we illustrate is the invention of H. D. Stilwell of Dayton, O., son of the inventor of the famous Victor turbine water wheel. It is at once attractive, economical, simple, well designed, strongly and carefully built. By a peculiar combinatron of two streams of water and and an ingenious form of bucket, a motor of unusually high efficiency has been produced. The stream* are both regulated by one lever. This affords a simple and effective means of varying the |>ower without seriously affecting the efficiency. The hearing* are made of bronze, and can be renewed any time if they should become worn through neglect. Mr. Stilwell is putting his motor on the market this season at introduction rates.
