Bradford Man Sees Brayton Petroleum Engine In Boston
A Bradford gentleman on an eastern trip watched Boston a Brayton Petroleum engine operate without a boiler. It burns cradle oil with air under high pressure, compressed by the engine to density from sixty to one hundred pounds per square inch. Oil enters the cylinder and sustains continuous combustion, delivering extraordinary power. The engine starts with a lighted match and stops by a valve. The visitor said it worked to a charm.
