Model of the stern of a vessel, with a new propeller and machinery, the object being to obtain a more direct reaction, less slip, and greater velocity of stroke. Registered April, 1851.
Figs. 1 and 2 represent this propeller, seen from the inside and from outside the stern of the vessel. These figures also indicate the peculiar mechanical arrangements, giving the propellers their propulsive movement.
