to its condensation would enable it to absorb more water, but still far less than would be sufficient to saturate it when it came to be heated by the furnace. Bennett's aero-steam engine. Bennett, United States Patent, August 3, 1838, introduced, or at least adopted, two new features: 1. He conducts the incoming charge of aller proportion of steam, partly as a motor and partly as a lubricator of the parts which are apt to grind, working in the hot, dry air. See Aero-steam engine. Bennett's air-heater and steam-generator. Bennett, August 3, 1838. This is a combined air-heater and steam-generator, the combustion being maintained under pressure.Bennett, August 3, 1838. This is a combined air-heater and steam-generator, the combustion being maintained under pressure. The air is forced in by a pump, and enters above and below the grates in quantities regulated by the dampers a, a, in the branches of the pipe B. Coal is introduced through the charger C above, without allowing any notable amount of air to escape. The upper valve c being withdrawn, a charge of coal is dropped on to the lower va

-can′ic En′gine. The name applied by its inventor, Oliver Evans, to the aero-steam engine, in which the heated gases from the furnace are combined with the steam and are unitedly carried to the cylinder. Whether the idea of Mr. Evans proceeded beyond a mere project is not known to the writer. The distinguished inventor had a very original and practical turn of mind, qualities not always united in the same individual. An engine of this character was patented in the United States by Bennett in 1838, and was also secured by English patent. The furnace was inclosed in the boiler, and the fuel was burnt under pressure. The smoke and heated gases passed through the water, so as to prevent the passage of grit to the cylinder.
