Excerpt from A Commentary by W. W. Evans: On Criticisims Concerning American V. English Locomotives, With Testimony by English EngineersAnother most useful and handy machine in general use in America, especially on the Western prairies, where fuel is scarce, is the Corcoran wind machine for pumping. I think it is the most perfect wind motor ever invented. It is used in connection with cedar tanks, holding fro'm to gallons, for supplying the engines. The machines are entirely automatic. They set themselves to the wind, and turn their face from it when it blows too hard; they can be regulated to any strength of wind, and will work in the lightest zephyr.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
