Vol. XXV: No. 15. New Power Drawing Presses for Tinware. The manufacture of tinware in its various forms has becomea great industry in this country, and has led to the invention of special presses of various kinds for produc- ing it rapidly and economically. We illus- trate this week two of the presses lately in- troduced by the Ferracute Machine Co., of Bridgeton, N. J. Fig. 1 shows a combined power drawing and embossing press, which is especially adapted for any kind of deep drawn work with lettering or embossing— such as solid rim sardine boxes, baking- powder can covers, salve, pill and blacking boxes, &c., up to 14% inches deep, if small, and 7 inches diameter or more, if shallower. The upper die is fastened to a slide-bar as usual, and the lower one is set on a raised bol- ster. The punch (attached to inner slide-bar) has on it the raised lettering, beadsor other designs, and the ‘‘ matrix” with sunk let tering, &c., is set on the bed of the press. The inner bar is arranged with extra long stroke, so that aiter the work is cut and drawn it is passed down through the lower die on to the matrix, where it is embossed, and as the plunger goes up, the work, as the press is inclined, slides out from under the arched bolster and down through the hole in the back part of the press, thus being made all complete at one stroke. The di- mensions, &c., are as follows: Hole through bed, 8% inches; hight to outer slide-bar when up, 7% inches, and to inner slide-bar, 9% inches; stroke of outer slide-bar, inches, and of inner slide-bar 314 inches; adjustment of each bar, 4% inch; speed of main shaft, 30 revolutions per minute, and of back shaft, 180. The total weight is about 2000 pounds. All the parts are built extra heavy, and various convenient adjust- ments are provided for setting the dies quickly and accurately. For light work, such as blacking-box covers, &c., the same press (with extra fly-wheel substituted for gearing) can be run very fast, and an auto- matic *‘ push-out” and gauge can be at- tached, so that from 30,000 to 50,000 pieces can be made in 10 hours. Fig. 2 shows a straight-sided power draw- ing press, arranged with extra long stroke, and is intended for small, deep work, such as drinking cups, ladles, dipper bowls, small saucepans, and other work not more than about 10 inches diameter and 2 inches deep. It is adapted for conical (or V) blank holders, but plain flat drawing dies can be used in it also. It is not arranged for cutting. Hav- ing straight sides and the shaft passing di- rectly through the frame casting, it is very stiff and strong. The total hight is 8% feet. The hight from bed to outer slide-bar, when up, is 17 inches, and to inner slide-bar, when up, 20% inches; the stroke of the outer slide-bar is 6 inches, and of theinner slide-bar, 814 inches. If desired, it can be built with shorter strokes—outer bar. 2'4 inches and inner, 5 inches—for any work requiring only flat blank holders. The adjustment of each slide-bar is 3% inches. The hole through the bed is 10 inches square, and the largest blank that may be used, 14 inches. The diameter of the fly-wheel and loose pulley on the back-shaft is 33 inches, while the width of each wheel is 5 inches. The speed of the cam-shaft is about 25 revolutions per minute, and that of the back-shaft, 1387. It is provided with two sizes of bolsters, which may be used singly or one upon the other, thus giving 2 inches more adjustment than above mentioned if desired. The weight of the fly-wheel is 500 pounds, and the total weight about 4300 pounds, It is also built as a double action press, being fitted up with the same frame, legs, &c., but having eccentrics substituted for the two cams, a fly-wheel for the back gearing, be- sides some otner changes. It is thus adapted for a variety of sheet iron, tin and brass work. It is also built as a deepening press, being fitted up with the same frame, legs, &c., but the outer slide-bar, cams and pit- mans are omitted, thus making it a single action press with very long stroke, adapted for the further deepening of articles already formed. It can also be used to good advan- tage for ‘‘curling” or wiring large pail bodies or other work requiring considerable hight under the slide-bar. The manufacturers aim at securing dura- bility and accuracy by careful workmanship, scraped surfaces, standard reamed holes, case-hardened bolts and nuts, steel shafts, clutches, pitmans, pitman nuts, die clamps, wrenches, &c. A new automatic steel clutch has lately been adopted, which is very simple and durable, and various other improve- ments have been added. - —_— Large Production of Steel Ingots and Rails.—The Scranton Republican of recent | date has the following: The Scranton Steel Works made in 24 hours, Wednesday, De- cember 10, 466 tons 12 ewt. of ingots. The steel works also made last week their largest week’s work to date, 2415 tons 7 ewt. of ingots, beating their largest previous work by 62 tons. The steel-rail mill rolled last Wednesday 736 bars in ro hours and 50 minutes ; average time per bar, 53 seconds ; and Wednesday night, 860 bars in 11 hours | and 10 minutes ; average time per bar, 50% seconds, making a total of 1536 bars in 22 hours, which, it is claimed, has never yet been beaten on any rail train in the world. The largest previous recorded output was | 1044 bars in 24 hours, made at Harrisburg in 1877. The rail mill also rolled last week 1877 tons 15 cwt. of rails, this being the The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. $$ New York, Thursday, A aril 8,1 S80. ————__—_ ee - Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter.

Fe such alluvium is reddish and more fusible than the other kinds, owing, no doubt, to its long exposure to weathering influences. The ore washed from the rock is next in fusibility, and the ore separated from river sand is the least fusible, probably owing to or because its weathered surface has been continually worn off. The difficult fusibility is very likely due in part to the presence of titanium. Most of theore used at Amegawa is brought on horseback from various places over two leagues distant; but is washed again at the furnace and reduced to half its weight. Some ore, however, is washed on the hillside, close by the Amegawa furnace, in the winter half of the year; but the rock there is reckoned in general of inferior quality, though some parts are pretty good. Mr. Lyman estimated that the amount of ore washed out of the rock is about one-half of one per cent. of its entire weight. The Amegawa Iron Works are over 100 years old. The only furnace there, like the others of Idzumo, makes both pig iron and steel in one operation of three days; but across the mountains in Bingo, with similar furnaces they make (it is said) only pig iron in an operation four days long. The furnace is essentially like the blast furnace of western countries ; but extremely low and with a very long horizontal section, and of very little durability, as it is built merely of a common yellow clay. The shape is close- ly like that of the Rachette furnace, a re- ’ Furnace of the Lackawanna Iren and Coal Company has, during the last 14 weeks, middle of the bottom is flat.

The progress of the smelting can also be viewed through the holes at the side of the nozzles, and any ob- structing slag can be poked away with a small rod inserted there ; and at each end of the furnace at the bottom there is a hole 0.4 foot in diameter for drawing off slag and pig iron, and there likewise the smelting can be watched. At the end of the first 24 hours that hole is closed and two other simi lar ones are opened on either side of it near the corners, as the side-walls have already become thin. Below the bottom, which is on a level with the ground, there is a layer 0.8 foot thick of ashes of the maki, a conifer ; and below them there are 4.2 feet iu depth by 3% feet in width and 9% feet in length of hot coals; and the five feet together are called the fukutoko (or hearth). Below it is a depth of 7 feet filled with red and black clay, from the bottom of which there is a horizontal drain to a neighboring hill-side. The whole depth of 12 feet is walled about with half a foot or more in thickness of | stone (granite and other kinds). The fuku- toko with the parts below is permanent, and at some places is not allowed to cool down | for a hundred years. The furnace proper is built of wet clay in a day, and dried with a wood fire in the following night. At three o’clock the next morning, the | same brands from the wood fire are removed | and the furnace filled with large charcoal ; | the tuyeres are adjusted, the coals kindled, | | and the blast begun.

The nvzzle is chiefly of bamboo, about .15 foot in diameter, but, at the fur nace end, is of iron fora length of about two-thirds of a foot, and, at the very end, with an inside diameter of .06 foot. The furnace and bellows, charcoal and ore bins, and resting rooms for the workmen, are al]! in a high building about 50 feet square. } . | oe - CY 4 SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL, /, The list of devices proposed to utilize elec- tricity for lighting has become so long a one that only the more prominent systems, con taining striking elements of novelty or show ing exceptional value, deserve a mention. Among these we would place j BROUGHAM & ANDRE'S ELECTRIC LAMP, | which has been exhibited in England. Its | striking feature is that it to some extent combines ilumination by the voltaic are and by incandescence. It consists of two con centric tubes, separated by a non-conductor, |} and connected with the positive and nega- tive terminals respectively. The inner tube | contains a carbon rod, which rests with its lower point upon a metallic wedge which is in electrical contact with the outer tube. lhe lower portion of these tubes is inclosed in an air-tight vessel, so that the oxygen of the air inclosed is rapidly consumed during the beginning of the working of the light, and the carbon, therefore, burns away very slowly. The carbon consumption is thus | lowered from 6 inches to 0.125 inch per | hour, the light being partially due to incan descence and partially to the formation of j}anare. The whole lamp is suspended in a vessel full of water, in order to cut off the access of air completely. Herr Dr. A. Schertel, of Freiberg, has made some experiments to ascertain JUL lt Th ae 1 THE MELTING POINTS OF SOME MINERALS | by using the Princep gold-platinum alloys, | the results of which are embodied in the | following table : Gold.

W. Siemens, the well-known elee trician and metallurgist, has experimented | for some time with AN ELECTRIC FURNACE, | for the purpose of melting in considerable quantities highly refractory metals, such as | platinum, iridium and steel. He was led to | undertake these trials by the consideration | that a good steam engine converts 15 per cent. of the energy residing in coal into me- | chanical effect, and that a good dynamo- eleetric machine is capable of converting fo |per cent. of the mechanical energy into electric energy.’ If this Jatter could be ex pended, without loss, within an electric fur- nace, then 12 per cent. of the total energy residing in coal would be availiable for melting the refractory material at any tem perature required, and such a result would doubtless far exceed in economy that of the best furnaces that have as yet been con- structed. In the small furnace which was exhibite@ before the Royal Suociet the positive electrode, which was made of iron has been continuous) and take away the noz- zles. Then they break up the furnace, brush off the coals that remain on the mass of metal that has been produced, and let it cool, The mass is steel, but the outside of it is bad steel, called kera; below it there is melted pig iron, or dzuku, which, on the removal of the steel mass, cools and becomes solid at once The steel mass weighs about s4o kamme (450 pounds), of which two-thirds is good steel, and the rest kera. The two are separated with the hammer. The dzuku weighs about 3600 kamme (3000 pounds), or, together with the previous 180 kamme (1500 pounds), about 540 kamme (4500 pounds) in all, mak ing the whole product then about 1080 kam me (qQooo pounds, or about four tons), or 30 With a large furnace entered from below the crucible containing the metal to be melted, whereas the negative electrode, which was a rod of carbon, was attached by means of a lever to a solenoid regulatoi The crucible was sur rounded by charcoal contained in a copper vessel to prevent loss of heat, and 0 intense per cent. of the ore. : a eae che lated ' sometimes 1200 kamme are produced.

Established 1810, Stee LON AGE. 3 Disastrous End ef a Grand Scheme of) locity of 1400 feet per second, or a steel shot Improvement in South America, The once magnificent scheme for pene trating the extreme western borders of the Brazilian Empire and the mountainous ter ritory of Bolivia lying beyond, by means of | navigable communication through the Ama | zon River and its tributaries, has at last ex perienced an entire collapse. It was confidently predicted that in the manner indicated, after surmounting the in termediate falls on the Madeira River, it would be practicable to forward to the sea board, and thence to the markets of the world, the rich mineral treasures and choic est products of tropical growth. But the British House of Lords, puts an end to this scheme. It confirms the decision, on an appeal from the High Court of Chan cery, ordering a distribution to the stock holders of some $ 3,500,000, thus far hehd im reserve in the vaults of the Bank of Eng land, being the proceeds of a sale of $6,000, 000 of bonds of the Bolivian government in the London market. This result of a pro tracted course of litigation, vigorously prose cuted by Colonel Church, of New York, on behalf of the American contractors, Messrs P, & T. Collins, of Philadelphia, and others interested, apparently extinguishes the last hope of ultimate success. Notwithstanding the magnitude of the undertaking, and the fact that the English engineers known as; the ‘‘ Public Works Construction Company ” had pronounced the scheme impracticable, have never lost faith. An immense quantity of material was sent out to the Amazon River for the construc tion of the so-called Madeira and Mamore stacle to the opening of the route. No less than eight cargoes were sent ont, mostly by steamers, comprising rails, fish-plates, en- gines and boilers, locomotives, houses for laborers and a full contractor’s equipment, valued at $300,000, to say nothing of money spent for charters, provisions, &c. The which foundered at sea with nearly all on board, will be distinctly remembered. The few laborers who survived and returned to their homes excited a deep sympathy from their pitiable condition. At a later stage of the enterprise—almost exactly one year ago —when the camps on the Madeira River were broken up, the engines tallowed and housed and the men employed returned to their homes, a reporter of The Iron Age was favored with an examination of the books in | New York—or, rather, the results of an| examination—when the facts as to the in- |} vestment appeared substantially as above. | But everytbing depended on the action of | Parliament on the appeal of the bondholders, | at the session in March, 1880, of which intel- ligence has just been received. What the contractors may now see fit to do for the recovery of the large accumu lations of material which were virtually abandoned in the depth of the forest jungles | ef South America, or to reimburse them- selves for the heavy losses sustained, re- mains to be seen. When it was found that the drafts on England for their payment, sent out from headquarters in New Yerk, were returned dishonored, their predica- ment was one of extreme perplexity and | difficult to be described It was natural that the good faith of parties in England should be more than suspected, and that jeal- ousy of American enterprise should be im puted, for the fact stood on record in tho | courts of England that the American liti gants could point to two decisions in their favor, including that of the Court of High Chancery, up to the time of the appeal of | the bondholders to the House of Lords, The | whole affair affords a striking commentary on the uncertain nature of all schemes de- | pending on the caprice of great corporations, or on great engineering feats of difficult ac- complishment, especially if the scene of oper- ations be located far from the base of sup- plies, where tropical heats and all natural laws conspire to insure defeat. | — I —= The Hotchkiss Reyolving Gun. Experiments with machine-guns are now in progress both at Portsmouth and Shov- buryness, England, and one particular form of the machine-gun, having found consider- able favor in other countries, is now com- manding renewed attention in England. It is that which bears the name of the well known American inventior, Mr. Hotchkiss, | Colonel Church and his associates appear to | Railroad, to cover some 180 miles around | the falls of the Madeira River, the main ob- | melancholy loss of the steamship Metropolis, | nearly one-third heavier, witha velocity of about 1200 feet. This gun is mounted on a swivel, with a species of universal joint, and is trained and worked from the shoulder by one man, a second man at the side be- ing employed in feeding the gun with cartridges. So satisfied are the Freneh as to the value of this weapon, that they have al- ready more than 300 of this pattern afloat in their navy, and the number is undergoing rapid increase from the Hotchkiss factory at St. Denis. Each of their larger ships will be equipped with at least 10 of these guns, sockets being fitted both along the bulwarks and in the maintops, to which the guns may be readily shifted as required, so as to con- centrate the fire in any given direction. The maximum rapidity of fire with this gun is about 80 rounds per minute ; but, whero accurate shouting is required, the rate would be from 30 to 35 rounds per minute. Ex- periments made with the weapon in Eng- land, France and Austria show that its pro- j jectile is eapable of penetrating the steel plating of torpedo vessels of the Lightning class at a range exceeding 2700 yards when | striking fair, or about 2000 yards if striking | within an angle of 30 degrees. The steel shot | will penetrate a steel plate an inch thick at rather more than 200 yards. The French | experiments showed that steel plates a quar- | ter of an inch thick were penetrated by the - percussion shell at a distance of 3c00 yards. Some valuable experiments as to the ac- | curacy of fire with this naval gun have been made in Holland, and the results were deemed to be thoroughly conclusive as to the efficiency of the gun in encountering torpedo boats, however swiftly the latter might make their approach. The Hotchkiss revolving cannon, in ite | general form, consists of five barrels, made | of Whitworth fluid-compressed steel. These | barrels are grouped round a common axis, and are made to revolve in front of a solid, immovable breech-block. This breech-block j has an opening in the upper part to intro- | duce the cartridges, and an opening under- neath for the exit of the empty cartridge cases, which are thrown out by means of an automatic extractor. The cartridges are | fired, singly as they present themselves by | the rotation of the barrels to the blow of the firing-pin, and while resting for an instant motionless in front of the solid pertion of the breech. The turning of a crank causes the automatic loading, firing and extraction of the empty cartridge cases. The metallic casing of the cartridge prevents the escape of powder gas at the breech. The mechan- ism is remarkably simple and strong. There is only one spring in the entire machine— namely, that which projects the firing-pan into the cartridge. The barrels are rifled on the polygroove system, aud the arrangement by which the barrels are at rest just before the cartridge is fired permits the gunner to take accurate aim, While at the same time he continues to turn the crank. An extra- ordinary form of the weapon has been de- vised for flanking the ditches of modern fortifications, and has been tried in France with remarkable results. This gun is spe- cially constructed to fire canister shot as well as explosive projectiles. Each of the five barrels composing the gun has a different pitch for its rifling. The result is that the cone of dispersion in which the bullets dis- tribute themselves varies, and a dense hail of missiles sweeps along the works, no ‘spot being missed. Thus in one minute, out of 300 dummy soldiers, all but three were hit, the ditch being swept by more than 1800 bullets, flying at every possible angle. - — Economy of Rolling Mill Engines. A subject which deserves a closer and more general attention than has been given to it, is that relating to the economy of power of rolling mills and rolling mill engines. While in our larger and more complete modern iron and steel works progress has far advanced in this direction, and types like the Porter engine are becoming deserv edly more popular, many of our minor werks | are stillextremely wasteful. Some remarks made by Mr. Bollé before an English engin- eering society, are so appropriate and apply so well to the state of affairs in this country, that they deserve being placed before | American iron masters. After pointing out lin a few words the importance of the subject of his paper, Mr. Bollé stated that the greatest economy of steam would be ob- tained if the rolls were so constructed that they did their work with the least aanount of motive power, and if the motor were con- structed so as to produce this power at the and is usually designated the Hotchiss re-| least possible cost. The amount of power L ; volving cannon. ‘This weapon, says the | London Standard, is distinguished ‘trom a mitrailleuse by the circumstance that it fires | explosive bullets or small shells, and has a} range approaching that of modern field artillery. Its penetrative power against thin steel plates, such as are designed to protect | torpedo boats, gives it an especial value. fo such an extent is this carried in the Hotchkiss gun, that the new rapid steel cruisers and dispatch vessels which are now being introduced into the British and other lnavies will not be able to keep out the projectiles of this seemingly insig nificant weapon. The form of gun em ployed for this purpose has a caliber | slightly less than two inches, and di charges either a steel shot or a shell weighing nearly two pounds and a half, with a burst ing charge of an ounce anda half. Its pro jectiles are capable of piercing steel plates nearly an inch thick at a distance of more than amile. The rate of fire would be about 20 carefully-aimed shots per minute, in creased to 60 rounds when the object to be hit was near at hand. The gun isin fact a a small rapidly-firing cannon, A still larger weapon has been constructed, having a caliber slightly exceeding two inches and firing 30 rounds per minute, the weight of the sifell being four pounds, and the initial velocity 1500 feet per second. The former | required by rolls for a certain class of work depended upon the proportions of the rolls themselves, and on the frictional resistance in the bearingsand wheels. More attention had lately been paid to the construction cf the housings and bearings, especially to ar- rangements for maintaining the bearings true with each other, and considering the heavy pressure on the roll journals, too much attention could not be paid to this point. As regarded the economical propor tions of the rolls for a certain class of work, he was afraid we were still very much in |}the dark; certain diameters of rolls and | series of grooves, having been found to an swer in practice, were adhered to, but whether others might not produce the same resulis with a less expenditure of power, was a point which still required elucidation. It would be necessary for this purpose that indicator diagrams should be taken from a large variety of rojls doing the same work, but unfortunately reliable diagrams eould hardly be obtained, and the settlemerit of the question would have to be deferred to some future date. The motor driving the rolls was usually a steam engine, and it 1 might at once be asserted that the most economical steam engine used for any other purpose would be the most economical en gine for rolling mille. It was well known that the greatest economy was obtained by | weapon, firing the projectile of two pounds using high pressures of steam and a large | and a half, was made at the request of the | degree of expansion, regulated automatically French naval authorities, and successful | by means of a governor, instead ef working trials are now being carried out with it. | with a fixed amount of expansion and throt- These larger specimens of the Hotchkiss gun | tling the steam before admission to the cyl- are as yet exceptional.
