| TEXT | Eugene Beggs, who in 1871 commenced the manufacture of miniature locomotives and other specialties, has a neat establishment in Division street, Eastside. He began business at No. 50 Broadway, and removed thence to 220 Tyler street in 1874. From thence he removed to his present location. Mr. Beggs is very ingenious and has invented many valuable improvements in various departments of machinery. He is the patentee of the miniature locomotive, and also, with Aaron Pennington, the tile maker, of the "Perfection" lawn and garden sprinkler, patented April 30th, 1878, one of the most popular tools of its class in the market. Many of these sprinklers are shipped to San Francisco and other distant cities. The capacity of the works is ten to twelve gross per month of the sprinklers, besides all other productions. The "baby engines" turned out by Mr. Beggs are the admiration of all and the especial delight of small boys about the Christmas holidays. This is the season when the production is greatest. The little engines, with two cars attached, not only are sold for $10 a "train" and are a "joy forever" to the happy recipient, as he naturally gets the "rolling stock" and motive power but also the track to run his "train" on - a complete railroad and equipment - the track being a circle. Great speed is attained, and the toy is deservedly popular. The steam is generated by using alcohol. There is not another toy like it produced anywhere, and orders come from all parts of the country. Two rooms, each 15x25 feet, are occupied by Mr. Beggs, whose product is not confined to the articles enumerated. He is ready to undertake any task requiring unusual mechanical skill and inventive genius. A three horse-power engine is used. |
