| TEXT | Every steam-boiler must have means to supply it with water. Locomotives have "injectors" for the same purpose. The special "injectors" made by this Company are as follows, viz: The "Little Giant", lifting Locomotive "Injector," Fixed
Nozzle," non-lifting Locomotive " Injector," " Little Giant, 1889," lifting Locomotive "Injector," combining all the latest improvements. "Little Giant Injector," non-lifting and lifting, for stationary, marine and portable boilers. The "Unique" single tube "Injector" "Boiler Washing and Testing Apparatus." This apparatus has a capacity of 4,000 gallons per hour, which enables one to blow out, wash and fill with hot water, and have engine ready for service in oue hour.
The Rue Manufacturing Company was incorporated in 1872. The officers of the company are Henry Cramer, President; Ellwood Bonsall, Treasurer ; Henry F. Colvin, Secretary and General Manager. The works are at No. 215 Race street, spacious and admirably supplied with every improved mechanical contrivance for rapid and economical methods of manufacture. The company's salesroom and office are at No. 116 North Ninth street. No firm in the country has been more painstaking in perfecting and in maintaining the highest standard for their products, it lias been their constant aim to improve and to perfect their inventions, and engineers realize the fact that for safety and economy, the "Rue Manufacturing Company's Injectors" lead all the rest. Other articles are made by the company, all of the highest
practical worth and utility, viz: "Ejectors" and other jet apparatus, steam valves and boiler checks. From Mr. Samuel Rue, the former Superintendent, the company derives its name, and from his well attested inventive genius, the Little Giant Injectors made by this company became possible. Mr. Henry Cramer, the President of the company, is a German by birth, a resident here about forty years. Mr. Ellwood Bonsall, the Treasurer, is a native of this city, he formerly identified with real estate business. Mr. H. F. Colvin, the manager and mechanical superintendent of the business, was born in Plainfield, Conn. About the year 1878, he came to this city in the interest of the Rue Manufacturing Company, with which he continued till 1883, when he was tendered and accepted the responsible position he has since so satisfactorily filled. Among the many inventions Mr. Colvin has made are the "Fixed Nozzle" non-lifting injector, the "Unique" single tube injector, and the "Paradox" automatic self-regulating injector. The officers of the company are all enterprising and progressive business men, seeking not only their own interests, but always mindful of those which tend to the advantage of Philadelphia. |
