The Inclined Water Wheel.
PATEni.
'MlttlS va'uableiinjirovcme.it iiilun upplicutiuu
-M. of water .ower, is now completed and in suc
cessful operation at the Cool Spring Mills in tbi
Towu. Tha invention was designed to save water
in its operation, and thereby remedy tne dilticiilty
now existing on account of its scarcity. This wheel
wiil perlorni the san.e labor w ith lees thun half lhe
water required to drive the tub-wheel, und if ap
plied in place of the flutter-wheel the saving niual
be still greater. 1 he number ol Mills (now in op
eration by these wheelf) that become scarce of wa
ter io the summer, is supposed to avera gr 80 or UU
pr cent. Il tbi-se Mills can be succtesiully operat
ed with even half the water now required, it is ob
vious that the supply of water will be abundant.
The Inclined W ater Wheel in its construction
can be placed at any elevation to auit the condition
of the pond, thereby securing a sufficient head above
lhe wheel, which is important to all mills where
the water is at any time liable to become scarce. In
this particular the Inclini-d watr wheel bus a decid
ed advantage above the Overshot, which requires a
sufficient fall and constancy of water, and is also
expensive in its construction: Whereas, lhe In.
clined Water Wheel can be built at much less ex
pense can be successfully applied to any mill or
machinery that is propelled liv water, and will run
well in back water. This Wheel is said to rank in
power with a high breast wheel, anj can be geared
with either Cos or bands, but tlio latter hein con
sidered che. per and more durable, I h ive adopted
them. Having obtained a Patent in December last,
have abstained trom givin? publicity tothe inven
tion, or offering to sell any Right's until oih- r. as
well as myself, should become satisfied of its arivan
taxes. I am now ready lo dispose of the right lo
.isa said invention hy counties, districts and States
as also single rights. .M ill wri?hr., Mill owners.
and the public generally are luvited to call and ex
amine the invention.
The machinery, as represented in the plate
above, can be made more simple, by which one
halt ol tha expense ot construction Will be di
minished, hut the amount of water saved will be
less. I shall havnhoth modes f construction w ith a
statement of materials for each, printed in hand
hills, which I design for those who wish further in
formation on the subject. JOHN T. OILMORE.
