Pelton Water Motor
Is so superior to all others as regards strenth, durability and economy of
water, in fact all that constitutes a HIGH CLASS WATER MOTOR,
as to admit of no comparison, adapted to every variety of service and
made ot sies varying Irom the fraction of 1 up to 100 H. P. Recent
scientific tests made at the Michigan University in connection with sev
eral other motors claimed to be the best on.the market showed 45 per
cent higher elficlency in favor of favor of the PELTON, while the rela
tive cost per H. P. to buy was only one-third to one-half that of others.
Water companies desiring to make the best of their water supply should
discriminate in favor of the PELTON. Deliveries made from New York
or San Francisco, as may afford the best freight rates. Circulars free.
One of these motors can be seen any time operating Tllli MlNhK presses.
