To all svlwm it may concern:

Be it known that I, Camus J. B. Gums, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and improved- Eleeiro-Magnetic Engine; and I do.

hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to. the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification. I, This invention relatesto new and importantimprovements in eleotro-magrietio engines, whereby theyar'e rendered more useful, as a motor?! than they have hitherto been; and

The invention consists in the construction; gement or parts, (but having more particular reference to an electro-magnefio ehgme invented by me,'and

- for which Letters Patent of the United States, bearing 7 date April 2, 1867, have beengranted to me,) as will be hereinafter more fully described. v

In the accompanying plates of drawings- 1' represents about elevation. I

cured to the bed. O is the shaft, which is supported by therframe B,'-in which it revolves. D is the armature-wheel, whichis firmly keyed to.

the middle of the shaft.

E represents the armatures, which are supported by the radiating arms, or spokes of the wheel D.

F represents the magnets, which are stationary, and radiate from hubs on the frame B, which project inward from the stands, and which hubs are marked G.

' iH is the distributing-wheel, which is placed loosely upon a bearing attached to the front stand of the frame. I is the circuit-breaker, which is a disk-wheel, or roll,

supported by an arm, J, which is attached to the shaft,

and revolves with it. In fig. l, '1' represents three metallic bars, which receive and transmit the electricity from one to the other six pairs on each side of the wheel being shown in theexample of my invention, with eight pairs of armatures attached to the wheel. These magnets have a radial position, as shown in Figure 4, a verticalsection of the distributing-wheel] The wire by which these magnets are eonnectedwith 'shown in fig. 1.

to which the magnets are attached. 7

The distributing-wheel H is provided with insulated metallic rings 1 Z l", the two former located upon opposite edges of the wheel, as shown in fig. 2, and the latter upon the outer faced the same, as shown infig. 1. n n n represent a series of keys, insulated from faiegother, and connected, respectively, to the rings connected with the post 8, to conduct the current of electricity, through the spring-aim Q, to the circuit- 'breaker I.

--The operation is as fiallows: 1

to the firstmagnet, through the wire t, on one side of an'dupon the same side of the wheel, by a wire, u.

The lower magnet, located in a similar manner upon the opposite side of the wheel, then receives the-cur barssecured tothe stand A and connects thesame, by the wire 10. to-that magnet-which the same radialline. 4 :4 v

' By thisfarrang'ement, itwillbe seen thatthetwo pairs armatures nettothe battery, through the har :and 'post S.

- iAs' soon as the armatures be move, thelroll I also move in a correspon egree, breaking the circuit through the key gz'and-rin'g l", and passing to one of the keys, n"; diredt'the current through the ring 1'', and its corresponding magnets upon each side of the wheel. j

This operation is continued, as .the armatures are attracted and thewheei turned, to the keys n and ring Z, and their corresponding magnets. The circuit, therefore, is broken and completed successively as the roll I moves from one key to the other. By this means, a continuous rotary movement is given the wheel D. I The arm J which supports the circuit-breaker,' or

the wheel, and thereby keep it incontact with the keys at all times.

The wires from the two poles of the battery are connected with-the engine by the two posts, or stands, marked 3 s.

The motion and power of the engine is conveyed by a belt from the pulley T.

U represents a reversing-bar, attached to the dis- A- tributingewheel H, by which that wheel is moved or parthe positive pole of the battery is connected at S, as

The shaft-works loosely through the fixed. hubs G,-

' The wirefromthe positive pole of the battery is at starting, the current passes to the ring Kandjthenoe 1 rentg -througli the connecting-wires v v and one'of the' of'magu'etswill attract and move'their corresponding The wire X conducts the'currentfioh i he'last mag- I roll I, is a spriri g sufficiently flexible to press the rollto tially rotated, so as-to alter the relation between the ulatcd by the position of the armatures, with reference keys and the magnets, and by which alteration the engine is made to run at different velocities, or rates of speed.

This is accomplished as follows: When the magnets and armatures are in the relative positions shown in fig. 1, and it is desired to move the wheel 1) to the right, the distributing-wheel His moved, by means of the lever U, so as to direct the current/through that set of magnets which are at the right of the armatures; and if it is uesired to move the wheel D in the opposite direction, the distributing-wheel is shitted, so as to direct the current through theset of magnets, at the left of theirarmatures; and when it is desired to stop the rocation of thewheel D, the distributing-wheel H is so adjusted as to direct the current through each set of magnets, when the armatures are directly over, or are just leaving them.

The velocityyith which the wheel is driven is regareas to the magnets, when the circuit is completed.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new, and desire to secure-by Letters Pa'tent- I The construction and arrangement of the stationary magnets, fixed upon the hub G, the revolving armatures secured to the balance-wheel D, parallel to the axis thereof, and the distrihuting-wheei H, loosely attaehed to the frame B, and made adjustable, for the purpose of regulating the speed and changing the direction of the revolving armatntes, by means of wires connecting its insulated keys and rings with the several sets of magnets, in the manner herein shown and CHARLES J.
