As an example, one of my piston-rod glands was packed with it, and has been running night and day since October 26th without repacking. I have not been able to run so long with any other make.—l am, Sir, yours truly, “J. Ashcroft, Chief Engineer.’’ " Portsmouth, February 20, 1883. “Mr John Bell, Asbestos Works, London.— Sir, —Your Asbestos Steam Packing, that you have been supplying for some considerable time, I can recommend to steam users generally as being the very best that was ever introduced into the market for piston glands, slide-throttle, and throttle-valve glands.

We run our engine at between 80 and 90 revolutions per minute, and I may add that there is no work more trying than saw-mill work.— Yours truly, “Wm.
