[Illustration: _The Engine is double the size of this cut._]
We have made special arrangements whereby we are able to offer this Gem
among engines for a very moderate amount. Every boy can have a great
deal of pleasure and gain much practical information as well.
Description of the Engine.
The engine is 8½ inches high and 4½ inches in diameter. It is
_nickel-plated_ in all its parts, and each engine is packed in a wooden
box.
Safety-Valve.
It is impossible for the boiler to explode as the Engine has a
perfect-working Safety-valve.
Steam-Whistle.
You will notice the location of the Steam-whistle by referring to the
cut. The valve by which the whistle is operated is also shown.
The Throttle-Valve.
The Engine is started and stopped by means of the Throttle-valve. No
other small engine has this attractive and important feature.
The Steam-Exhaust.
All oscillating Engines exhaust at the ports. This Engine exhausts into
the smoke-stack, and thus the steam passes off into the air.
The Power of the Engine is sufficient for running toy machinery. So
perfectly and so accurately is this Engine made that the screw-nuts
on the cylinder head, and the rivet-heads on the boiler and fire-box
are represented (see illustration of the Engine.) It is a Scientific
Toy, nearer in appearance and operation to a large Engine than any
heretofore made. It is both amusing and instructive. It is safe and
easy to operate. It will run small Toys, and develop ingenuity. It is
a simple and complete machine which will practically illustrate to the
youthful mind that wonderful power so constantly at work on all sides
in this age of Steam.
There are 41 pieces and over 400 operations in the manufacture of this
Engine.
In this little Engine every means of safety has been provided, so that
young beginners may take their first lesson without incurring any risk.
The fuel to be used must in all cases be Alcohol as the lamp is not
adapted for anything else.
Every Engine is Tested by running at the Factory. The price of the
Engine is $1.35. Postage and packing 30 cents additional: or sent by
express at the receiver’s expense.
