Russell (Cotton) Mills, Plymouth, Mass., March 20, 1876.
S. B. ALLEN: Your Governor has been attached to our Corliss engine over one year, and has given perfect satisfaction. The engine was never governed until yours was attached, although we have tried three of the best kind of Governors known. When steam or work varied, the speed would vary, and we could only run our looms an average of 103 picks per minute. Since using your Governor, and solely on account of the perfect steadiness with which it holds the engine and machinery, we are enabled to run the looms regularly 112 picks per minute, MAKING AN ACTUAL INCREASE OF OUR ENTIRE PRODUCTION OF OVER EIGHT PER CENT. Your Governor saves coal, saves waste, saves care and labor of the engineer, and produces more goods and better goods. I have timed the engine a hundred times, and never found it to vary in the least. It is the honest truth that the Allen Governor holds it exactly on speed.
