  • Reports on the Philadelphia International Exhibition of 1876. "The production of a given result by the cumulative effect of a repetition of similar mechanical actions is a peculiarity frequently observable; as for example... the Injector of Messrs. Nathan & Drefus, New York, which is in effect the cumulative action of several injectors."
