They are simple in construction, notliable to get out of order, permit the speed of the engineto be changed at will, are neat in appearance, noiseless,very durable, save the engineer's time, save fuel, andare at once the most powerful and most sensitiveGovernors ever made. Russell (Cotton) Mills, Plymouth, Mass., March 20, 1876. S. B. ALLEN: Your Governor has been attached to ourCorliss engine over one year, and has given perfect satisfaction.The engine was never governed until yourswas attached, although we have tried three of the bestkind of Governors known. When steam or work varied,the speed would vary, and we could only run our loomsan average of 103 picks per minute. Since using yourGovernor, and solely on account of the perfect steadinesswith which it holds the engine and machinery, weare enabled to run the looms regularly 112 picks per minute,MAKING AN ACTUAL INCREASE OF OUR ENTIREPRODUCTION OF OVER EIGHT PER CENT. Your Governorsaves coal, saves waste, saves care and labor ofthe engineer, and produces more goods and better goods.I have timed the engine a hundred times, and neverfound it to vary in the least. It is the honest truth thatthe Allen Governor holds it exactly on speed. Address L. C. KING, Superintendent. GERARD B. ALLEN & CO., St. Louis. FRASER & CHALMERS, Chicago.
