Can make great savings by using the Allen Governor. Its operation is
unequalled and wonderful. Nearly all machinists once using these
Governors become agents for their sale. They are simple in construction,
not liable to get out of order, permit the speed of the engine to be
changed at will, are neat in appearance, noiseless, very durable, save
the engineer's time, save fuel, and are at once the most powerful and
most sensitive Governors ever made.
Russell (Cotton) Mills, Plymouth, Mass., March 20, 1876.
S. B. ALLEN: Your Governor has been attached to our Corliss engine over
one year, and has given perfect satisfaction. The engine was never
governed until yours was attached, although we have tried three of the
best kind of Governors known. When steam or work varied, the speed
would vary, and we could only run our looms an average of 103 picks per
minute. Since using your Governor, and solely on account of the perfect
steadiness with which it holds the engine and machinery, we are enabled
to run the looms regularly 112 picks per minute, MAKING AN ACTUAL
INCREASE OF OUR ENTIRE PRODUCTION OF OVER EIGHT PER CENT. Your Governor
saves coal, saves waste, saves care and labor of the engineer, and
produces more goods and better goods. I have timed the engine a hundred
times, and never found it to vary in the least. It is the honest truth
that the Allen Governor holds it exactly on speed.
