1862 London Exhibition: Catalogue: Class VIII.: Williamson Brothers
2026. WILLIAMSON BROTHERS, Canal Iron Works, Kendal, Westmoreland.
Patent vortex turbines, blowing fan, centrifugal pump, etc.
PATENT VORTEX TURBINE, an improved means of applying water-power.
The vortex turbine is equally adapted for high and low falls. Its peculiar advantages are:-
1. That the power is obtained with a slower velocity of the water, and consequently with less friction than in ordinary turbines.
2. Great steadiness and regularity of motion.
3. A thoroughly efficient means of adjustment to varying supplies of water. A large working model is exhibited in motion.
Williamson Brothers also exhibit in action—
A WHIRLPOOL BLOWING FAN,
A WHIRLPOOL CENTRIFUGAL PUMP; and
A PATENT VERTICAL-COLUMN STEAM ENGINE.
Descriptive circulars may be had on application to the makers.
