Many places, such as Bleacheries, Dye Houses, Hat Shops, Acid Works, Chemical Works, etc., are troubled with steam to such an extent that it makes work injurious, as well as damaging to the goods, We have suc- cessfully removed steam from these places, and can refer to many who have been relieved. Thousands of factories are troubled with dust, hot air, acid fumes, smoke and steam, and many can save hundreds of dollars by obtaining relief from these annoyances, We can save from 20 to 50 per cent, in drying all kinds of goods, which will make a handsome profit to any house having large quantities of goods to be dryed, both in space occupied and labor saved in handling, We will endeavor to show in this circular a few of the many ways our Patent Exhauster is now being practically used, but as every case differs somewhat, we always prefer to furnish special plans, and when desired superintend the work, or take full contract for everything, guaranteeing the results. : We ask all who contemplate the use of a fan, for any purpose whatever, to write us before buying.

Note Cuts on Next Page. tes" Page 20 for Rotating Ceiling Fans. re Newark, N. J., U.S. A. 3 The above cuts show how Fans with curved blades will collect dust in the hollow formed by the curve, which can readily be seen would be greatly against them in places where dust is to be removed, and even when using them for other purposes, they tend to retard the motion of the air, which proves a curved blade to be a great disadvantage. Our Patent Blades Are formed in every way so as to cut the air quickly and perfectly clea, giving it nearly as large an impulse at the centre as at the outside diameter. The Band and Blades are made of the best P. C. Steel, and arms of the strongest Ulster Iron. The bearings are lined with Bronze Metal, and the arms are driven into the hub on a slight taper, and held in position by a Stubb Steel Pin running through the hub and riveted on both ends. Our Blades Cannot Become Loose, AND WILL NOT BREAK OFF. This cut shows the advantages of our Patent Blade over all others, and you can readily see that only a sharp edge cuts the air, which ayoids the extra power required to drive the bulge or belly of any curved blade, and it cannot catch the dust. Compare this with cut at the top. —_ <> o—_—___—_—_——_———_ A TESTIMONIAL FROM ONE WHO HAS HAD SOME EXPERIENCE. Kansas City, Mo., Nov. 16, 1886., Backus Water Motor Co., ér7 Main St. GENTLEMEN.—The Patent Exhaust Fan which I bought from you has proved itself to be far superior to the other style of Fan which I have been using in an~ other part of my building. Your Exhauster seems to give wonderful results, and exhausts enormous volumes of air, as well as freeing my place from all flies. Yours very truly, ifs dels SYNSISE lag Note Next Page. 4 Tur Backus Water Moror- Co. BACK-LASH, ILLUSTRATED. SHOWING WHY OUR PATENT BLADE GIVES SUCH WONDERFUL RESULTS. AIG 4 Exw.2. ~ BACK-LASEH.” Figure 1 illustrates air current propelled from a rapidly revolving Fan of the ordinary type. As will be seen, its greatest propelling force is at the: periphery of the circle, described by the blades in their revolutions. All the blades extending full length from shaft to end, and, therefore, being crowded together near shaft, it is impossible to a a current of air through or near the centre of Fan equal to that of its periphery. Fully one-third of the diameter of the Fan is thus rendered practically ineffectual as an air propeller. By the rapid revolution of these blades a vacuum is formed, like that caused by any swiftly passing compact body, and the at- mosphere, seeking to fill the vacuum, rushes back (as indicated by arrows), thus causing what is termed the ‘‘ Back-Lash.”’ In the BAcKus FAN (See fig. 2), such a defect is impossible. Half the blades are double, while the remainder extend but half way down the spoke. This arrangement allows much more space near the shaft for the air current, which, being caught by the lower half of double blade, is propelled with velocity nearly equal to that at the fan’s periphery, and the advantage of the Backus PATENT BLADE over the ordinary type is apparent.

A. 15 THE VENTILATION OF Theatres, Schools, Churches, Public Buildings, Hospitals, Hotels, Xc., IS BEING ACCOMPLISHED BY THE BACKUS PATENT EXHAUSTER. A FEW POINTS TO CONSIDER. We desire to call the attention of ARCHITECTS, CONTRACTORS, BUILDERS, HOTEL PROPRIETORS, SCHOOL BOARDS, and all COMMITTEES or INDIVID- UALS who may have the control or management of Public Buildings, to only a few positive facts in connection with bad ventilation, which will prove clearly the great need of a perfect system. Death rates have been reduced by the introduction of proper ventilation in general Hospitals, (including children), from 50 to 5 per cent., in Army Hospitals from 23 to 6 per cent., in Prisons from 8o to 8 per cent., and in Stables from 19 to 1.5 per cent. These are facts taken from Prof. S. H. Woodbridge, of the Massachusetts Institute Technical, Boston, Mass. We feel the above facts to be the strong- est argument in favor of proper ventilation, and the best authorities advise from 30 to 65 cubic feet of air per head per minute, under general conditions, and in rooms continuously occupied ; and we do not consider any architect should prepare plans on a lower basis. Some of the largest Steam Heating and Ventilating Engineers in New York and other large cities, have adopted the BacKUS PATENT EXHAUSTER in connection with the system of heating and ventilating, combined by in- direct radiation, which is known to be the only perfect means for properly heating and ventilating Public Buildings, Factories, &c. We are always ready to furnish plans, specifications, or any information, guaranteeing results if carried out as per our instructions. NOTE. We having just completed a system of ventilation in the HOTEL BUCKINGHAM, 50th St. and 5th Ave., New York City, and the HOTEL LIVINGSTON, Rochester, N.

Construction ; The bearings are of nickel bronze, interchangeable. The shaft is of the best tool steel. The armature is perfectly balanced, balanced by the process known as ‘a running balance.” At the right will be noticed a hand wheel, for tightening or loos- ening the belt. The boxes are self-oiling, and o o7z7 can work out of the machine. Electrical Features: This part has been given great attention, its insulation being perfect ; water or dampness will have little or no effect. Interlocking Starting Attachment: Mostof the Motors now on the market require aresistance box over the Motor, and, asa rule, ¢hree wires run from this to the Motor, and in some cases fouv. A machine of this construction must be set up by an ex- pert. The Backus Electric Motor requires but two connections, and it makes no differ- ence in which binding post the wires are inserted; any person can connect this Motor. Our Motor cannot be injured by carelessly turning on the current, and cannot burn out by any failure of the fusible plug. Our Interlocking Mechanism prevents any accidents. Automatic Regulation: The speed will remain practically constant under all variations inthe load up to its guaranteed horse power. Our Arc Light Motors are sup- plied with a most sensitive governor, which gives perfect regulation. ’ DIRECTIONS FOR ORDERING MOTORS. State the electric motive force, (7. e. volts), for constant potential Motor, and the current, (i. e. amperes). for arc light circuits. Unless otherwise ordered, all Motors willbe sent out self-regulating, that is running at practically a constant speed up to its guaranteed horse power. If it is desired to vary the speed, we must know this when parties order. A card is sent with each machine, giving full particulars for setting, which, if followed, the result will be guaranteed.

By the use of a smali awl, feel through the plaster at about the point where the fan is to go for a beam, then bore a hole slightly smaller than the lag-bolt ; next put the bolt through the crab first, then the wood base ; af- ter screwing it partly in, put the hanger up and tighten the bolt, allowing the socket in the foot of the crab to fit over the small ball on the leg of the hanger. After getting it level by driving small wedges under the base put the shaft through ; place the pulley on the shaft, as shown on pages 24, 25, 26, 27 and 28, first fill the cups which are cast on the hangers full of grease, ~ put one of the red washers we send under the pulley ; first let bottom of pul- ley rest on this washer, then tighten up the set screw. Next put on the fric- tion just as it is on the stick shipped with it. Then putin the blades. Keep the small fans perfectly straight, set the large blades on an angle of about twenty degrees, and the outer edge of the blade should be about three inches higher than the lower edge. The main shaft should run at about eighty-five revolutions per minute, and this will give the fans a correct speed of about one hundred and forty revolutions. Our Shaft Hangers are put up in the same way as the Fan Hangers. See that our Set Screws are properly tightened before starting, to prevent accidents. Keep the pully and shaft couplings as near the Hangers as possible. The Shaft Hangers should be about five feet apart, where two rows of fans are used run shaft down the centre of room ; where one row, along the side.
