WATEii WHEEL.
THE uiidersi^ued having accepted the
agency for tlie above named wheel, would
call the attention, of the p.'oprielorti of Mills, ;
Factories. &c. Arc... to the ti aiiy advantages
tliey would derive from usiiig it. It is well
adapledt to all jMirpo.ses for which a water
wheel is used. The small space it occupies,
and tile vehxdty of its motion, are attract
ive features. It reipiires hut a small ainouut
of gearing. Ice does Lot alfect it. Works
as well on horizontal as vertical shaft. Suit
able to any locality Not affected by hack
water. It is simple, cheap and durable. One
of the wiieels cau he seen in operatio.i at
I oard, Tatum A: Co’s, Mill on South Yadkin
River.
I have been in the* Mill wright business
for 25 years, and consider this hy far the best
whell 1 have ever yet met with. This wheel
costs from $'1.5 to !?'.d75, according to size.
