Description: |
| Abstract:
The object of this invention is to obtain a simple, economical and efficient traction engine, chiefly for ordinary use, such as the drawing of gang plows, in the cultivation of land, or the hauling of wagons over prairies and over common roads, and for like purposes.
The invention consists in a novel arrangement of the boiler, and driving wheel or drum, substantially as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby several advantages are obtained over all other engines of a similar kind that have passed under my observation.
Claim:
The putting of the boiler C, within a driving wheel or drum D, when placed upon friction wheels or bearings within or upon said drum, substantially as described, so that the wheel or drum shall revolve around the boiler. |
