    Has been Awarded a SILVER MEDAL, BEING THE HIGHEST PRIZE GIVEN FOR MECHANICAL STOKERS, At the SMOKE ABATEMENT EXHIBITION, SOUTH KENSINGTON, LONDON. PATENT MECHANICAL SELF-ACTING STOKER. LAND, MARINE, AND LOCOMOTIVE BOILERS &c. MADE ESTIMATES GIVEN. Oh. SINCLAIR, ALBION BOILER WORKS, LEITH, 1ST.B. '' PAULSOM'S PATENT. \ ,^ NO SMOKE,WASTE,OR FINES.^ THE CARDINAL VIRTUES OF ZPJ^TTLSOIISFS ZP^_TZEZl\TT ECONOMICAL SMOKELESS FURNACES FOR STEAM BOILERS FOR LAND FACTORIES AND STEAM SHIPPING, AND ALSO FOR DO/ESTIC STOVES, EXHIBITED BY MR. WM. PICKERING ON BEHALF OF THE PATENTEE. [Mr. Paulson is the Inventor of the well-known Thermal Lubricator.] The least costly, the most simple, and the most effectual of all the known appliance for preventing emission of smoke in any case and at the same time economising both fuel and heat, by regulating the admission of Oxygen in superheated air, so as to perfectly consume or convert the whole of the carbon. Existing Boilers can be fitted and adapted at very trivial cost, in a few hours, without the suspension of works or the disturbance of any part of the setting. RESULTS AS TO STEAM BOILERS. !•—The waste of the commonest coal or slack can be turned to account. 7. —The heat of Stoke holes is obviated. 8. —A strong, constant, and steady draught is insured in all weathers and situations, even with chimneys no more than 50 feet high, fo long as the chimneys overtop the next buildings. 9. —The wear and tear of Boilers and Furnaces is reduced to the minimum, as the Bars are almost indestructible. 10. —The smoke nuisance is perfectly prevented. 11. —In all respects the cost of machinery is reduced, the expense of fitting up Paulson's Patent Apparatus not exceeding One Pound per Horse-power, for Ten Horse-power and upwards. 12. —The apparatus is absolutely automatic, and does not require ta be controlled or regulated by the Engineer. AS TO DOMESTIC STOVES. Compactness, cleanliness, increase of heat, great economy of fuel, and total prevention of smoke. All communications should be addressed to Mr. PICKERING, The Inventors' Syndicate, 21 Arundel Street, Strand, London, W.n. Reference for information and inspection is kindly permitted to the NUBIAN BLACKING MANUFACTORY, Saracen's Buildings' Snow Hill, London, E.C.; and also to Messrs. CLARKE, NICKOLLS & COOMBES, Hackney Wick Works, where the Apparatus has been titled with signal success, under the most difficult and tuyinq conditions. - 3A 11 2.—The flue3 are exempt from fouling and the Boilers from (as much as possible) priming ; there is little or no clinker in the fur- naces and no deposit of soot in the flues. 3-—Anthracite coal can be quickly ignited and readily burnt. 4.—Fuel of all kinds is greatly economised by complete combustion. 5- —The elasticity and power of steam are greatly enhanced, thereby exalting the power of Boilers in proportion to dimensions. 6- —The expense and labour of stoking and attention are much reduced, without the need op any mechanical stoker, by reason of avoiding the necessity for frequent stoking or even opening furnace doors.
