Clifton engine for towing and fishing during the past three years. He was so well pleased with the work of this boat that he has recently built two other boats and equipped each of them with 90 H. P. Clifton engines, The launches Pansy and Gladys, which FISHING TRAWLER MOTHER'S JOY, EQUIPPED OIL ENGINE only when the lakes became 'frozen. In this instance a big contract for getting necessary supplies to the men was fulfilled in a manner that it would have been impossible to carry out with- out the aid of a reliable gasoline engine. Clifton Engine The Clifton Motor Works, Cincinnati, O., have also installed their motors in. a number of vessels that are used for commercial work in various. parts of the United States. A few of them are illustrated herewith. The White River Construction Co., of Branson, Mo., has used a sternwheel boat driven by a Clifton motor for tow- ing barges of cement and other material from Branson up to the dam, a distance of about ten miles, for the past two years. The boats are very crude look- ing affairs, as the photograph testifies, . but they have been very serviceable and practical. 3 The United States government engi- neer, with headquarters at. Wheeling, W. Va., employs a 45-ft. steel row boat built by the Rippley Steel Boat Co., Grafton, Ill, and equipped with a 28 H. P. Clifton engine. It is used as a tow. boat for towing barges and other vessels carrying material in the govern- ment service on the Ohio river.

Clifton engine, has been used as a tender for a dredge boat and for heavy work such as towing barges. It has been a very successful boat and has not caused any trouble or expense since the engine was installed over a year ago, Remington Oil Engine The Remington Oil Engine Co., 120 Broad St., New York, are the makers of strictly heavy duty machines, very simple in construction without delicate adjustments, and can readily be under- stood and operated by any one. All the parts are very accessible. The main bearings can be removed without dis- turbing the crank shaft. The connect- ing rod and piston can be removed by simply removing the heads, and the fuel and control systems taken off without dis- turbing any other parts. They operate on kerosene, fuel oil, distillates, crude oil, gas oils and many low grade oils sold on the market under a variety of names. The fuel consumption is about one- tenth of a gallon per horsepower per hour--never more than one pint. A particularly successful installation is that in a sternwheel river boat owned by M. E. Benson and operating on the Black River, Ark. The engine, a 30 B. H. P., is located directly under the pilothouse. The boat has a steel hull, 68 ft. 6 in. long by 16 ft. beam on water line and 19 ft. on deck. There is a longitudinal shaft,. 1 15/16 in. diame- TOPSAIL SCHOONER LADDIE, EQUIPPED WITH 75 H. P.
