WM. SELLERS & CO. (INCORPORATED), Sole Patentees and Makers of THE
SELF-ACTING
INJECTOR
OF 1887. Range of capacity over 60 per cent., and can therefore be regulated to work continuously for the lightest or heaviest trains. Never fails to lift promptly hot or cold water. No service on a locomotive is sufficiently severe to permanently stop its working. Should the jet break from any interruption of the steam or water supply, the Injector will RESTART ITSELF as soon as the supply is resumed. Adjusts itself to varying steam pressures without waste of water. Increases quantity of water with increase of steam, and vice versa. Very simple to operate. Started by pulling out the lever. Stopped by pushing in the lever. Descriptive Circular Price List sent on application to office and works, PHILADELPHIA, PA.

WESTINGHOUSE AIR BRAKE. The Automatic Freight Brake is essentially the same apparatus as the Automatic Brake for passenger cars, except that the various parts are one piece of mechanism, and is sold at a very low price. The saving in accidents, flat wheels, brakemen’s wages, and the increased speed possible with perfect safety, will repay the cost of its application within a very short time. The “AUTOMATIC” has proved itself to be the most efficient train and safety brake known. Its application is instantaneous; it can be operated from any car in the train, if desired, and should the train separate, or a hose or pipe fail, it applies automatically. A GUARANTEE is given customers against LOSS from PATENT SUITS on the apparatus sold them. FULL INFORMATION FURNISHED ON APPLICATION.
