| TEXT | The power developed by the Victor is so very great as compared with other Wheels of same diameter, that a good many are incredulous on the subject even in the face of the scientific tests herewith reported, and are disposed to say, "The Wheel certainly shows well in the Testing Flume, but will it do equally well in driving my machinery?" The statements hereto annexed of prominent parties in their respective lines of business will be of interest to such:
Office of Chas. A. Pillsbury & Co., Minneapolis, Minn., December 17, 1881:
Stilwell & Bierce Mfg. Co., Dayton, Ohio.
Gentlemen - Your favor of the 14th, referring to the 55 inch Victor Turbine that we have in our "A" Mill received. We can not tell the power it will give because we have never had a chance to test it with a full gate. We have never known the gate to be more than three-fourths open, but on that gate we have made some 2,550 barrels of flour in twenty-four hours. When we get the second half of the mill running we shall be able to test it thoroughly. Our actual working head in the mill is about 50 feet. We have in the one-half now running, 101 sets of the Gray Double Rolls (that is to say four rollers in each machine), 100 middling purifiers, about 130 reels, the wheat-cleaning machinery, and other milling machinery to match. We also move all our cars by power from the wheel, and can attach seven or eight loaded cars to our cable and never notice the difference by any decrease of power or speed. We have no trouble at all with the step, nor with the wheel in any way, shape, or manner. It would be impossible for the wheel to give better satisfaction. None can give steadier power or better results than yours. We are surprised that the wheel should be strong enough to stand such an enormous strain, but we have never yet had occasion to even look at the wheel.
Yours truly, CHAS. A. PILLSBURY & CO.
[Note. The above 55-inch wheel, under 50 feet head, is capable of producing about 1.400 horse-power, which is far in excess of the power developed by any other one water wheel of any kind within our knowledge. A wheel similar to the above is driving the great Washburn "A" Mill at Minneapolis, and before being placed in the wheel-pit its mechanical construction was carefully examined by a large number of mechanical experts, including the editor of the Northwestern Miller, who paid it the following unsolicited editorial comment. — S. & B. Mfg. Co.]
[From Northwestern Miller , March 18, 1881.]
"It is a pleasure to a man of a mechanical turn of mind, who can appreciate good work when he sees it, to find a job that will bear the closest scrutiny. Such a piece of work was that recently placed in position in the Washburn "A" Mill in this city, viz: one of the widely known "Victor" waterwheels made by "Stilwell & Bierce Mfg. Co.", of Dayton, Ohio. The wheel (the general manner of construction of which is well known to our readers) is 55 inches diameter, and weighed, including case and gate, over nine tons. Not only was the machine work well done, but the castings were remarkably perfect. Not a blow-hole, or scab, or mark of the chisel anywhere, while the surfaces were almost as smooth as if finished by machinery. When the intricate construction of the castings is taken into account, the work is worthy of especial commendation, and does great credit to the manufacturers. As a specimen of foundry-work this wheel was pronouuced by all who inspected it as superior in every way to anything in the line they had before seen. The wheel is calculated to yield, under a head of forty feet, 1.000 horse power, and will drive the machinery in the half of the "A" Mill now being finished."
Standard Flouring Mill , Minneapolis , Minn., June 2, 1881.
Gentlemen. We are well pleased with the 44-inch Victor Wheel. It is running under 28 to 30 ft. head. Have made over 1.100 barrels flour in twenty-four hours, at same time run our large storage elevator, with considerably less than full gate. We think under 30 ft. head we can make 1,300 to 1,500 barrels per day.
Yours truly, E. V. WHITE & CO.
The above wheel is tabled at only 448 horse power under 30 ft, head. With that amount of power to have produced 1.100 barrels flour per day (four-tenths of one horse power per barrel) would have been a splendid showing, but it will be observed the wheel also drove their large storage elevator, and did it all with considerably less than full gate.
North-Western Roller Mill, Minneapolis , Minn., June 6, 1881.
Gents, we have used the Victor Wheel for sometime, and are well pleased with it, giving us perfect satisfaction. With the 30 inch wheel we made eight hundred (800) barrels per day, and with, the 44-inch wheel we easily make one thousand (1.000) barrels per day, with slightly more than one half a gate of water. We predict for your wheel great success, and cheerfully recommend it to any and all in want.
Yours, SIDLE, FLETCHER, HOLMES & CO.
The above result we believe to be unprecedented. The 30 inch wheel under 38 feet head, the head under which it operated when making 800 barrels of flour per day, is tabled at only 311 horse power. The mill was afterwards greatly enlarged, and a 44-inch Victor was substituted in place of the 30-inch wheel. In the fall of 1879 we furnished Moseley & Motley, of Rochester, N. Y., a 17 1/2-inch Victor to take the place of a 25-inch "Centennial Tait" Wheel, and a 23-inch "Leffel" Wheel, guarantied to do more work than both of them did. We append their statement of the labor it is performing.
Flour City Flouring Mills , Rochester , N. Y ., April 5, 1880.
Your favor of the 2d received. In reply would say that we are running the 17 1/2-inch Victor under 29 feet head, (10 feet head, 19 feet suction) and are driving 6 run of stone, and other machines for gradual reduction equal to about 4 run more, taking in all from 80 to 100 horse power. Yours truly,
MOSELEY & MOTLEY.
Lincoln , Nebraska , Dec . 23, 1881.
Gentlemen - In reply to yours of the 10th inst. We have one 25-inch Victor under 13 feet head, driving our Woodlawn Mills one hundred and twenty-five barrels per day. One 35-inch Victor, under 10 feet head, driving our Capital Mill two hundred barrels per day. Both are giving satisfaction and doing their work.
Respectfully, KENDALL & SMITH.
Office of Saxton & Thompson, Merchant Millers. Lockport, N.Y., December 21, 1881.
Gentlemen - Yours of the 19th inst. is before me. In reply to your inquiries as to the amount of work the Victor Wheel is doing, etc., would say that it is driving four bolting chests of six reels each, fourteen set of Steven's Rolls, 9x30, six scalping reels, one large bran duster, six large size Smith's Purifiers, and all the necessary elevators and conveyors for the above and two packers. The wheel is working under a 25-foot head and doing its work very satisfactorily. I think the wheel would do one third more work than it is doing. We have never used near all the gateage. It has never given one minute's trouble thus far. I consider it the best wheel I have any knowledge of. Yours truly,
HENRY GRIGG. Superintendent for Saxton & Thompson.
During the summer of 1881 we furnished Cutler & Co., merchant millers at North Wilbraham, Mass., a 44-inch Victor Wheel to run under a 13-foot head, and drive their large mill, requiring 120 horse power. In a recent letter they were pleased to speak of the wheel as follows:
"We were well aware of the merits of your wheel long before we purchased. We are well pleased with its operations, and are free to confess that it surpasses our expectations. We have recommended it to our friends for a number of years, and expect to continue to do so for many years to come."
Minneapolis , Minnesota , December 19, 1881.
Gentlemen - Your valued favor of the 14th, asking our opinion of the Victor Wheel, is at hand, in reply would say that we have now used a 35-inch wheel about eleven months, and it has always given the best of satisfaction, doing all that you claimed for it. We grind 500 barrels daily with it, under a 30-foot head, and use less than a half gate. It is easily handled, and we would not exchange it for any wheel we known of.
Very truly yours,
D. R. BARBER & SON.
The above wheel displaced a 48-inch "American" turbine wheel which did not afford sufficient power.
Otsego, Michigan , January 1, 1880.
Gents - We have now used the 35-inch Victor Wheel a sufficient length of time to determine to our entire satisfaction its ability to perform the work you guaranteed it to do, viz: to drive one 4-foot stone and corn sheller, to grind 30 bushels of feed per hour, one 30-inch middling stone, buckwheat bolt, smutter, elevators, etc., connected with them. Our average head is 7 feet, and when running but the two stones and sheller, we hardly ever use over two thirds gate. Under the circumstances (the wheel not having as much room under it as it ought to for discharge) it has exceeded our expectations, and is the best wheel we have any knowledge of. The firm of A. B. & C. D. Stuart have just commenced using the 40-inch Victor you sold them, and they are very much pleased with it. They are now satisfied they can double the amount of machinery in their factory and have sufficient power to drive it strong. Should you wish to refer any of our acquaintances to us for information concerning the Victor Wheel, we will gladly tell them all we know about it. Yours, etc,
MANSFIELD & HOAG.
Elk River , Minn ., November , 21, 1881.
Dear Sirs - We bought last spring a 35-inch Victor, to work under 8 feet head, and drive 9 sets of rolls, and all the bolts, elevators, etc., connected with the rolls. We were quite fearful that it would not do the work, and only took it on Mr. Bierce’s guarantee. It, however, carries its load with ease, and is altogether the best wheel we have ever used. It has more than double the power of other turbines of the same diameter.
Very truly yours, MILLS & HOULTON.
Mitchell, Dakota , Dec. 24, 1881.
Gentlemen - Yours of the 10th inst., making inquiry in regard to the 35-inch Victor water wheel we bought of you, has been received. In reply will say the wheel is giving perfect satisfaction. It fully meets our expectations. We are running one run of 36-inch burrs, one California Smutter and Separator combined, one Brush machine, and the necessary bolts, elevators, purifier, and have not nsed to exceed one half gate, with from 4% to 5 feet head of water.
Yours respectfully,
JOHN R. WHITE.
We occasionally meet parties who doubt the ability of our wheel to compete with overshot wheels of 14 to 16 feet diameter on light streams. We are doing it in numerous places, with results similar to those set forth in the following:
Mortonsville , Woodford Co., Ky ., Dec. 13, 1881.
Gents - I have been using the 17 1/2~inch Victor Turbine long enough to give it a thorough test, and am highly pleased with it. Under a head of 16 feet it has taken the place of two overshot wheels, 14 feet diameter, 3 feet face, and is doing more work than both of them did, and what is astonishing to me. is using less water than the overshots did. The wheel is driving 2 pairs of 4-feet burrs (corn and wheat), besides smutters, reels, elevators, etc., and is grinding 9
bushels of wheat and 12 bushels of damp corn per hour to-day with only 13 feet head, having 3 feet back-water in the tail-race. I can recommend it as a strong and uniform motor, fully up to your tabled capacity of it, acting well at part-gate, and for its freedom from clogging with rubbish.
Very truly yours,
W. H. SELLERS.
Rochester Paper Co., Rochester , N. Y., June 2, 1881.
We are running three 25-inch Victor Wheels, under a head of 29 to 30 feet. One of these drives four 6C0 lb. beating engines, one Jordan engine, and one machine shop. It displaced a 36-inch "Tait Centennial" Wheel. Another drives three 550-lb. engines (beaters), two No. 3 Holly Power Pumps, one 3-inch boiler pump, and our elevator. The third one, which displaced a 36-inch "American" Wheel, drives four 600-lb. washing engines, four rag- cutters, dusters, etc. Also a hoister for rags in bales. We also run a 35-mch Victor which drives five Feckett wood pulp machines, and has quite a large reserve of power. This runs under 30 feet head. The wheels run easily on steps, and come as near table power as any wheel we ever used.
Yours truly, ROCHESTER PAPER CO.
By A. M. Hastings, President.
In the fall of 1880 we furnished the Ypsilanti Paper Company a 48-inch Victor to replace a 66-inch "New American" which had gone to pieces after a short run. They were fearful it would not afford sufficient power, but as it was the largest wheel we had on hand, they concluded to try it. Results are stated below.
The Ypsilanti Paper Company, Ypsilanti , Mich., May 31, 1881.
In reply to your inquiry, we would say we like the 48-inch Victor Wheel very much. With 13 ft. head, we can run five 800-lb. engines, one Jordan engine, and a pump. This gives us plenty of power to grind stock to make six tons printing paper per day, our regular run. It has not caused a moment’s delay since first started. We generally have sixteen feet fall, only using part gate.
Very respectfully yours, CLARK CORNWELL, Sec'y
The Delaney & Munson Manufacturing Co., paper manufacturers, were using a 48-inch "Leffel" wheel in perfect order, and were short of power. They displaced it with a 35-inch Victor, and added considerably more machinery.
The Delaney & Munson Mfg. Co., Unionville, Conn ., June 24, 1881.
Gents - Your favor of the 28th ult. was duly received but got mislaid, hence this delay in answering. The 35-inch Victor Wheel wo have now run about one year, and under 15 feet head is driving four 500-lb., and one 800-lb. rag engines, and in addition to this, furnishes power for rag room, running rag-cutter and two dusters, also large pump to furnish wash water. To do this work we have plenty of power, and we find it a steady running wheel, both at full and partial gate.
Yours truly
L. RICHARDS, Treasurer
The Hart Lot Paper Co., of Hart Lot, New York, are using a 30-inch wheel under 21 ft. head, driving five beating engines, etc. In a letter dated December 22, 1881, they speak of the wheel's efficiency as follows:
"In economy of water it can not be beat - that we have fairly tested to our own satisfaction, and the writer has had
considerable experience in running almost all the leading wheels. As your wheel stands today it is the best on our stream, and the manufacturers are looking into it," etc.
Flint, Mich., December 20, 1881.
Gentlemen - You favor of the 17th inst. at hand. I will say of the 44-inch Victor turbine water wheel bought of you, that it is the best thing in the shape of a water wheel that I have any knowledge of.
Yours most respectfully,
F. R. LEWIS.
The above wheel runs under a head of from 4 to 6 feet.
Marseilles, Ills., December 19, 1881.
Gents - Yours of the 17th inst is at hand and contents noted. We are pleased to say that the 48-inch wheel we bought of you has been in use some sixty days, and thus far done all you claimed for it. We are at present using it with about 7 feet head, and drives equal to four engines 36x40, with a small flume and a small outlet for the discharge water. The wheel would drive five engines under the same head were it not for the disadvantage it labors under.
Yours respectfully
DWIGHT PAPER CO.
A. A. Carpenter, Sup't.
From the Niles Tools Works, Hamilton, O., where a 15-inch Victor displaced a 25-inch "American" Wheel:
Niles Tools Works , Hamilton , Ohio , May 31, 1880.
Gentlemen - We are now using your Victor Wheel, and are pleased to report that it is doing nobly. It is a 15-inch wheel, working under 26 feet head, and furnishes all the power required in our establishment. Our machine shop is 400 feet long and 60 feet wide, filled with tools of all kinds ; in our pattern shop we run a pony planer, a circular saw, a band saw, and three lathes; in our foundry we run a large Root blower, emery wheels and cleaners, and we
have ample power for all this duty. We are also lighting our works by electric light, using a six-light Brush machine, running at 900 revolutions, taking power from our line shaft, and running it very steadily. We can not speak too highly of your wheel. It replaced a 25-inch wheel, and is doing much more service.
Yours truly, NILES TOOL WORKS.
R. C. McKinney, Sec'y.
From Falls Rivet Co., Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, where 25-inch Victor displaced a 35-inch "Leffel" Wheel:
Gentlemen - It is now about a year since we purchased of you a 25-inch Victor Wheel, and are much pleased with it. It fills the bill in every particular. It has run steadily night and day, and we have not had a moment’s bother with it. Always reliable. It does more work, and much more satisfactory, than the 35-inch Leffel which it displaced. In fact it is doing much more, having added more machinery to it. We call her the "Giant", and truly think it is the best wheel made, and very properly named the "Victor".
Truly yours, FALLS RIVET CO.
E. L. Babcock, Agent,
War Eagle Mills , Benton Co., Ark., Dec. 16, 1881.
Dear Sirs - I am using one of your 35-inch Victor water wheels under 7 feet head, and can cut 10,000 feet of inch lumber in 10 hours with 5 hands. It works to my entire satisfaction, and has never cost me a cent for repairs, and I can not say too much in its favor.
Yours truly,
J. A. C. BLACKBURN.
Westfield, Mass., June 10, 1881.
Mr. W. J. Sumner:
Dear Sir - In reply to yours of the 4th inst., asking how I like the 15-inch Victor Wheel, will say that I am more than satisfied with it. L T nder 15 feet head it runs a 48-inch saw with good effect, cutting 3,000 to 4,000 feet of hemlock lumber per day. I would not exchange it for any wheel I ever saw.
Yours respectfully, M. V. STOW.
Chicago, November 28, 1881.
Gentlemen - Your favor of recent date inquiring how we were satisfied with our new Victor Water Wheel, was duly received. In reply it gives us pleasure to say that we have now used your 20-inch Victor Wheel, under a 25-foot head, since May last, in our Tile Factory at Ottawa, Ills., and have found it most satisfactory in every respect. In fact it has proved itself capable of all that you claimed for it, and we can heartily recommend it as the best wheel we know
of for simplicity of working, and economy of water.
Yours respectfully, THE OTTAWA TILE CO.
C. V. Johnson, Sec’y and Treas,
A very severe test of a turbine’s economy in the use of water, and also its durability, is found in the use of very small wheels under high falls, and with widely varying quantities of water. Such a test has been afforded the Victor by J. S. Graham &, Co., Rochester, N. Y., in their large shop for manufacturing woodworking machinery. They had in use a very large overshot wheel which was replaced last summer by an 8-inch Victor in iron flume under seventy-three feet fall. The water is supplied from hydraulic canal through a surface guage measuring 30 inches wide by 12 inches deep when water is plenty, but reduced to an opening 7 1/2 inches wide by 14 inches deep at low water, which is less than one third the capacity of the wheel at full gate under that head. Messrs. Graham & Co. wrote us under date of December 16,1881, as follows: "We started your wheel (8-inch Victor) August 16th, and it has been running constantly ever since that time, an average of thirteen hours per day, without losing a minute through fault in the wheel. We have 73 feet fall, and had no trouble in keeping the machinery to speed at low water last summer with an opening 734 inches wide by 14 inches deep, giving at least 35 horse power. Before purchasing, we made an examination of the various wheels made and selected the Victor, and it has proved to be all you claimed or we expected.
Yours truly,
J. S. GRAHAM & CO.
It will be observed that the foregoing statements relate to wheels of nearly all the sizes manufactured by us, driving a great variety of machinery, and operating under falls varying from 4 feet to 73 feet in height. We could fill a good-sized pamphlet with similar testimony, but the above will suffice to prove that the Victor Turbine does just as well at actual labor as it does in the. Testing Flume
Notwithstanding the convincing character of the testimony herewith presented of the great superiority of the Victor Turbine, we urge upon parties who are investigating the water wheel question, to visit places where our wheels are in use and see for themselves. To facilitate such a personal investigation of the merits of the Victor, we append a partial list of parties using it, and who we feel assured will extend to visitors all reasonable facilities for observing the actual work of their wheels. |
