The copy filmed here has been reproduced thanks
to the generosity of:

Library of the Public
Archives of Canada

The images appearing here are the best quality
possible considering the condition and legibility
of the original copy and in keeping with the
filming contract specifications.

Original copies in printed paper covers are filmed
beginning with the front cover and ending on
the last page with a printed or illustrated impres-
sion, or the back cover when appropriate. All
other original copies are filmed beginning or the
first page with a printed or Illustrated impres-
sion, and ending on the last page with a printed
or illustrated impression.

The last recorded frame on each microfiche
shall contain the symbol —^•(meaning "CON-
TINUED"), or the symbol V (meaning "END"),
whichever applies.

Maps, plates, charts, etc., may be filmed at
different reduction ratios. Those too Icrge to be
entirely included in one exposure are filmed
beginning in the upper left hand corner, left to
right and top to bottom, as many frames as
required. The following diagrams illustrate the
method:

The next requisite in order, after adopting the American
Lubricator, is the use- of first-class oil, the amount necessary to
lubricate the interior of an engine is so small that it vrould be
the veriest folly to continue the use of an inferior article. The
requirements of oil suitable for steam lubrication are as follows;
freedom from volatile substances, gummy matter, tar, grit and
coloring matter, oil should be capable of resistin- oxidation
at the temperature at which it is to be used. The sceam pressure
itself is sufficient to flatten and distribute the globules to insure
perfect lubrication, and in good oil there is no substance that will
precipitate itself onto the metallic surfaces and increase the fric-
tion. There is so much tar and gummy matter in black or crude
oil as to render it unfit for so fine a purpose as the lubrication of
steam. No man should transform his engine into an oil refinery.
There is so much benzine in black oil that on coming in contact
with the steam it will evaporate and act like an alkali on the
fatty portion and destroy the value of it, while the tar and parra-
fine and grit will take the goodness all out of an engine if used
any length of dme. Animal oils if not combined with refined
mineral'oil will surely make hens nests out of the receses in the
steam ports, cylinder bottoms and pistons and it will also make
the surface porous by its corroding nature.

Oil should have a good body and feel very greasy between the
fingers and have a clear color, this of itself is an indication that
it is filtered. We have been informed by oil dealers that 'here
is more profit on oil costing 40 cents per gallon than on oil cost-
ing $1,50.

We know by our experiments in many places and on our own
engine that a first class cylinder oil has over four times the
lubricating capacity than any common or crude oil obtainable.

The commonest oil in the world can be used in our Lubrictor,
but it will be apparant to any one, that when the consumation of
oil is reduced to nearly nothing, the adoption of the best oil
should not be avoided.

WHAT WB CLAIM.

The American feeds oil into the steam pipe of engine,
at a point above throttle valve, f/ius infusing the steam
with foam of oil, and as the lubricated steam passes
through the throttle, governor, steam chest and cylinder,
it lubricates all those parts. Every drop of oil is visible as
it passes into the steam pipe.

It imparts a regular motion to engines because it
lubricates the governor valve.

It makes the throttle very easy to turn, keeps it from
rusting and cutting, and saves packing and grinding it.
It relieves the friction of the valve or valves, and
lubricates the packing around the stem.

It saves piston packing, and piston*rod packing, and
lubricates the cylinder.

It will pay for itself in fuel every two months, in oil
every seven to ten months, in wear, packing and labor
e\ ery four months.

Tne American Lubricator is patented in the United
States, Canada, Great Britain, and new patents are
pending in the United States, Germany and other
foreign countries.

Our Lubricator is appliable to every description ofl

engines and steam pumps.

-We are prepared to niafee liberal ar-
rangements witli parties interested in
our line, in any part of tlie world.

With the American Lubricator you can regulate the
consumption of oil to the exact quantity required for
relief of friction to the valves, valve stems, piston and
rod, also the packingn, and necessarily reduce the wear
of said parts. Poppet valves cushion with ease on
oiled seats ; the actual horse-power is increased, and
the consumption of fuel accordingly lessened,
hence the value of positive and even lubrication. All
automatic engines are regulated in speed by the earlier
or later cut-off of steam to the cylinder, said cut-off
being effected by a special valve gear, operated by the
motion of the governor balls. This valve gear should
move almost without friction, as the balls of the gov-
ernor or regulator have no power, and are simply sus-
pended on any plane by the velocity of their rotation.
And, as it is only the rise and fall of said balls that im-
part the motion to the valves to cause them to cut off
the steam at the proper point, it is obvious that said
valves should be properly lubricated to insure regularity
of speed.

The American is very easily applied, and neat, clean
and durable, requires no w^atching, will save from 50 to
90 per cent, of the oil required by any other method ;
its visible feed and absolute regularity enables the en-
gineer to reduce it to the finest feed movement without
any danger of clogging ; in some instances engineers
are using but one drop of oil in two minutes. We have
frequently been informed by engineers that they have
run the American as fine as one drop in five minutes,
to test its sensitiveness.

We make Brass Castings of every

description to order. Prices

'^"^ BEWARE

OF INFRINGEMENTS.

Our attention has frequently been directed to the
fact that several parties are infringing our first United
States patent by using the elevated water reservoir,
suspended oil cup and inverted syphon tube, and a
number of other details. No Lubricator can use

OUR PRINCIPLE OF FEEDING OIL, WITHOUT INFRINGING

OUR PATENT OF 1876. We are determined to have
the redress which properly belongs to us, and for that
reason we are issuing 100,000 copies of this circular
for distribution in the United States alone. We have
found by experience that as soon as we have broken
up one hive of infringers, another would spring up in
some other part of the country.

We ask the public to be guarded against adopting
any Lubricator containing any of our patented parts.
Respectfully,

American Lubricator Co.,

Detroit Mich., United States, America.
