Paddle-Wheels for Steam-Vessels. "My improvement consists in suspending the buckets from oscillating centers at the ends, so that, through the agency of a simple and strong contrivance, the buckets are made to turn the planes of their surfaces relatively with the periphery of the wheel as it leaves the water, while they enter the water in the usual radial manner. In other words, the buckets take the water in line with the axis or center of motion, and in leaving the water are feathered downward, so that they form a tangent with the curve of the wheel."

  • Tech class CPC B64C11/006 Paddle wheels, CPC B63H1/04 Propulsive elements directly acting on water of rotary type with rotation axis substantially at right angles to propulsive direction
  • Inventor location: San Francisco, San Francisco county, CA (FIPSloc=6075, imputed by HistPat)
