Messrs. Shand and Mason have produced an engine, at a cost of 650l., weighing, according to their statement, 55 cwt., with jets and lamps, but without water, coals, suction-pipes, hose, or other gear, and capable of throwing in an available stream the following average quantities of water per minute:—
| Distance. | Angle. | Quantity. |
| 61 feet. | 10° | 250 gallons. |
| 63 " | 18° | 165 " |
| 82 " | 14° | 172 " |
| 85 " | 21° | 137 " |
| 102 " | 11° | 94 " |
| 104 " | 17° | 19 " |
Messrs. Shand and Mason have also produced, at a price of 370l., an engine which, under the same conditions, weighs 35 cwt., and is capable of throwing in an available stream the following average quantities per minute:—
| Distance. | Angle. | Quantity. |
| 61 feet. | 10° | 142 gallons. |
| 63 " | 18° | 133 " |
| 82 " | 14° | 56 " |
| 85 " | 21° | 27 " |
The best performance during the five trials from which this last average was taken being forty-six gallons, and the lowest five gallons per minute.
At greater distances, in consequence of the wind, this engine could not deliver a stream, but continued working without accident throughout the day, and concluded in the evening by throwing a good vertical jet.
