Bliss & Williams, Plymouth and John streets, Brooklyn, N. Y., have just completed a new press, which they call their No. 3% Drawing Press. It is designed for a range of work up to 14 inches in diam- eter and 4 inches deep, and will take an eight- quart milk pan down ata single stroke. It will do all sorts of work, such as covers, dippers and pans, up to ten quart and not | more than 4 inches deep. The opening in the blank holder is 14 inches in diameter. The die is worked by a crank, and the blank holder by two cams set upon the crank arms, or perhaps, to be more clear, the crank arms are let into the cams. This shortens the distance between the pillow blocks by several inches and greatly adds to the strength of the shaft. These cams have a pair of rollers above and below them, held in place by cross arms and rods, shown in theengraving. By means ofthese the blank holder is carried down upon the blank, held fast until the press makes its stroke, and then raised and held stationary through the remainder of the stroke. uprights of the frame. holder are another pair of guides, in which the tool holder itself works. ment makes the press very compact, and gives, at the same time, ample opportunity for making the proper adjustments. The die holder is driven by a steel connecting rod from the main crank. This portion is ad- justed by means of a screw and jam nut on the rod. The lower connection is a ball and socket joint, arranged so that if any lost motion should appear, it may be easily taken up. Adjustments of the blank holder are made by means of nuts upon the four rods by which it is driven. The press is geared seven to one, the large wheel being 60 inches in diameter and the pinion about 8 inches. the lower one, next the fast and loose pulleys, is a 48-inch fly-wheel, which weighs about 750 pounds. Cams, rollers and shafts are of steel, and | steel is used wherever it can be done with advantage. This, taken in connection with | the compactness of the design, makes the press very stiff. Thus the distance between the main bearings is only 14 inches. Of this | 6 inches is taken up by the two cams, and the crank is 6 inches long, so that practically the 33-inch steel shaft which does the work has only 2 inches which is not supported or reinforced in some way. The frame itself is very strong and the strains are taken in very direct lines. A friction clutch—seen at the left of the main or crank shaft— serves to stop the press when thrown out of gear. The driving pulleys are 6-inch face by 20 inches in diameter. arranged so that when the foot is placed upon it and at once removed, the press will make one revolution and stop with die at the top ofthe throw. The crank has 8 inches throw, while that of the cams is 4 inches. Bronze bearings are used when they are | needed. The workmanship throughout is of the best character. of ample strength, which involves using a large surplus of metal in the frame. In all respects the machine is well calculated for the purpose for which it is intended. —- —————EE————— METALLURGICAL NOTES. THE ESTIMATION OF CARBON IN STEEL. Mr. James W. Westmoreland, A. R. S. M., | of the Bowling Iron Works, Bradford, writ- ing to the Chemical News, says that M. Ser- gius Kern impugns the accuracy of the| color test for the estimation of combined carbon in steel, and Mr. W. D. Hermann, in advocating the direct combustion process, states the general opinion of chemists that the color test is not accurate. Mr. West- moreland continues : The objections to the direct combustion process are—that the steel is required in a fine state of division, and the uncertainty as to the completeness of the reaction, while the time required by any combustion process would prevent its regu- lar use in steel works, where it is not un- usual to test from 30 to 50 samples daily. Having used the color test extensively for some years, I find that, in most cases, the re- sults obtained by it agree well with those ob- tained by other processes—that concordant | results are obtained by analysts working independently ew the same sample, and that discrepancies which arise are due more to errors or inexperience than to any defect in the method. cesses I was requested to examine by color test a series of samples of steel in which the carbon had been estimated by combustion (between 60 and 70 samples were examined), the greater number of the experiments being made in the year 1876, with others at in- tervals up to the present time.

M. POURCEL ON THE THOMAS & GILCHRIST PROCESS. M. Pourcel, the eminent metallurgist of 'the Terrenoire Works, has read a second | paper on the Thomas & Gilchrist process | before the Soc, de St. Etienne. Aside from, his theory regarding the elimination of the | | elements of the pig at different periods, a) theory disproved by the Eston engineers, 1M. Pourcel held that an overblow would |always be characteristic of the Thomas & | Gilchrist process, because the phosphorus | eliminated is carried into the cinder in the shape of phosphate of iron. M. Pourcel’s | arguments appear to us rambling and evas- ive, but as he gives some interesting details which have not yet been published in this | country, and some of his criticisms are well taken, we will briefly refer to them. M. Pourcel calls attention to the fact that the composition of the spiegeleisen employed at Hoerde is not given. Using Herr Massenez’s | | own figures, he shows that the slight loss of | metal in the Hoerde experiments cannot be/| protests against any attempt to replace sili- NEW DRAWING PRESS, BY MESSRS.

Pourcel seeks to ac- count for the fact that this reabsorption did | not take place at Hoerde, by pointing to the fact that the composition of the Hoerde cin |der, as given by Herr Massenez, shows it to be so little fusible that the reducing car- bonic oxide cannot attack the phosphotes, and that therefore it is really by physical means that the reabsorption of the ‘phos ! phorus is.avoided, rather than by the chem ical action attributed tothelime, Referring to Herr von Ehrenwerth’s calorific studies, M. Pourcel holds that neither silicon nor phos- | phorus exists separately in the pig, but as | silicides and phosphides. Troost and Hautefenille have shown, at least | as far as the silicides are concerned, possess anything like the calorific power of the ele ments separately, and M. Pourcel therefore | He quotes the follow- | | eaubvalens for equivalent. There can, | however, be little force in M. Pourcel’s |argument when, at the conclusion of it, we | find him helpless before the facts directly contradicting his conclusions. |THE EXTRACTION OF OIL AND AMMONIACAL LIQUORS IN COKING, Mr. Henry Aitken preposes, in a paper read before the North of England Institute tof Mining and Mechanical Engineers, to | utilize the oils and ammoniacal water pro- |duced in the manufacture of coke, and he | has for that purpose constructed a modified coking oven, the principal features of which are that three flues are made in the bottom of the oven, which are covered with per- forated tiles. They meet near the door, and at their junction is inserted a pipe, which is connnected with the condensers, the action of which is assisted by a mechanical ex- | hauster or asteam jet. The upper portion of ‘the oven is surrounded by a circular pipe, ALAMS, !from which a number of branches conduct blast intothe oven. For the first 24 hours the temperature of the gases issuing from the | ~— bottom is 300 degrees ; in the next 12 hours ° . . | it gradually increases to 600 degrees, and in | .|a like period to 1000 degrees. At present the non-condensed gases are used for light ing, but as their illuminating power is infe- *° | rior, while their calorific value is considera- ble, it is proposed to force them into the oven again above the level of the coke, to be | used there to create heat to carry on the coking. The largest quantity of oil yet ob tained with an imperfect apparatus has been 11 gallons of oil per ton of coal, the specific gravity of the product varying from 0,925 tor. ‘The usual quantity of ammo- | niacal liquor recovered is about 30 gallons | per ton of coal, and the specific gravity is 2 Twaddell. This, however, it is stated, | does not correctly represent the amount of ammonia in the liquor. One sample tested was taken from the working of six ovens, and the analysis showed that it contained 174 grains of ammonia per gallon of water, Another sample was found | 100 gallons. | to contain nearly twice this amount, or fully 5% pounds of sulphate per ton of | coal coked. The quantity of ammoniacal | water got per ton of coal charged is in ex-| derived from the water put in to cool tie coke of the previous charge, and converted into steam as the coking proceeds. Mr. Aitken states that the coke made is more ; dense, and is obtained in larger pieces than that manufactured in the ordinary way, and that the yield is increased about 1% per cent. He says that some of the dry non coking Scotch coals make a fair coke in this manner of working. We may add that a similar object has been attempted, w ith some success it appears, by M. M. Simon & Carvés. The Terrenoire Company have about 200 of these ovens at work at Bességes, Gard, France, and we un derstand the commercial results have been very satisfactory. At Bességes these objects are said to be so perfectly attained that the theoretical yield of coke is obtained from the coal, being in their case 73 per cent. The quality of the coke is pronounced very good. The collection of the tar and ammoniacal liquor is also stated to yield a profit of from | 3s. to 4s. per ton of coke made. These ovens | are oblong chambers about 16 feet long, 2 | feet 2 inches wide, and 5 feet 9 inches high. | They are charged by two openings at the |top, and there are flues underneath the | bottom and round each side, in which the gases which have been deprived of their tar and ammonia are burnt. No air is admitted into the oven during the coking operation. The coke is discharged by a steam ram, and at once slacked with water in the usual manner. We may add that the latter is a feature which it appears to us has not been adequately provided for in Mr. Aitken’s de- sign. THE CASSON-BICHEROUX FURNACE. The system of burning fuel in direct-firing gas furnaces appears to be gaining ground abroad for puddling and heating, and the results of its application, as reported from England and Belgium, explain the favor with which it is meeting. At Ougrée the consumption of coal has been reduced from 18 or 20 cwt. to 12 ewt. per ton of iron, | while at the Round Oak Works, Casson-Dor- | moy puddling furnaces fired with gas consume | 12 ewt. of slack per ton of iron, against 27 }ewt. of lumps with the ordinary furnaces. | The results are highly favorable with heat ing furnaces also. A test made at the | Round Oak Works, to show the economy of fuel and the reduction of the waste of iron, resulted as follows: T. cwt. qrs. Ibe.

Mr. B. C. Lauth, of | Philadelphia, is the agent for the introduc- | tion of this furnace into the United States. |THE EFFECT OF FORGING AND ANNEALING | STEEL, M. D. Chernoff, whose labors at the | Abouchoff Steel Works are meeting with | such general appreciation by metallurgists, | has conducted an interesting series of ex periments on the effect of forging and an- nealing steel upon its mechanical properties. The results of this work are laid down in | the following table, published in Mr. Wil j liam Anderson’s translation of M. Chernoff’s | paper contributed to the Imperial Russian | Technical Society.

The hoisting rope is wound over a grooved drum, which is run by a worm and gear from the pulley shaft. The latter is fitted with three pulleys, of which the two outer ones are loose, while the middle one is fast. The belt for causing the eleva- tor to ascend runs on the left-hand loose pulley while the one for causing the descent is running on the other.

Let us assume that the slotted pulley is turned from right to left, and it | will be seen that the lower lever and bear | rod will be drawn from right to left, thus shifting the belt from the left-hand loose pulley to the middle fast pulley, An acci- | dental reaction of the slotted pulley is| guarded against by a simple device which is not shown in the engraving. In the hub of the slotted pulley is a curved slot, in which a roller attached to one end of a lever freely | slides. The other arm of the lever carries a | brake shoe, which is applied to the fast pulley automatically in such a manner that it acts as soon as neither of the driving belts | is on the central pulley. The movement of | the slotted pulley is effected automatically, so that the shifting of the driving pulleys | is brought about as soon as the elevator reaches its destination. In order toeffect this, a traveling clutch section, having a yoke extension, is mounted on the winding drum shaft. When the elevator cage or plat form reaches the limit of ascent or descent, this traveling clutch section meets and en gages with one of two collars, which are, as shown, constantly in engagement with other fast collars. This causes the clutch section 7 THE MONTOUR IRON & STEEL COMPANY, Successors to Messrs. Waterman & Co., Works at DANVILLE, PA. PIG IRON And all sizes of T and Street Rails.

This latter defect is only par- regular lubrication, by having the hub of the pulley cored out so as to admit of the mtro duction of rings of fibrous cloth encircling the shaft. A supply pipe is introduced through the hub of the pulley, so that the cloth rings are constantly fed with a moderate supply of oil. The rings are sewed together so that they form a compact substance, thus avoiding all winding around the shaft, as is the case when waste or stringy materials are used. They also use self-oiling journals, or bearings, for the cable carrier sheaves at top of building. 2 ee How Our Mauufacturers ‘Learned to Make Steel. The London Engineer prints the following absurd story at second hand, and ventures some comments of its own which are as ab- surd as the story : A curious letter is published in the Shef field Daily Telegraph, signed ‘* W. Clifford.” It contains some allegations which, if true, have remained unknown to nearly every Sheffield man until now. Mr. Clifford states that the American Government imposed a prohibitory tariff upon Sheffield steel, as a reprisal for the sympathy our government and people gave to the Southern States in their war of rebellion: and he goes on to say that a commission of the United States Customs Department which came to Shef field, practically put an end to what remained of the steel trade with America, by handing over to the American manufacturers the Fig. 2.—Front Elevation. THE CLEM & MORSE POWER HOIST. hitherto sacred knowledge of mixtures and manipulation which had made Sheftield steel famous. ‘I was informed,’ says Mr. Clif- ford, ‘‘ by gentlemen representing Sheffield firms in New York, that it is a fact that about the time or just before Dr. Webster came to Sheffield as United States Consul, a commission, consisting of Gen. Storey, U.S. A., and Col. Gorrough, sat at the Vic toria Station Hotel, and called before them Sheffield manufacturers of steel, doing busi- ness in New York, and required them under threat— implied or actual—of seizure of books, breaking open of safes, and general stoppage of business in New York, that they should tell them how they made steel, osten sibly for the purpose of ascertaining its value at New York.” Mr. Clifford goes on toaskif it is not true that steel makers were required to state the brands of iron they used, the price, the place of purchase, the freight, &c., coke used, quality, quan- tity, price, &c.; labor, amount, value and details, the structure of furnaces, and even to tell the physic used and the grade of steel resulting. Mr. Clifford asks further if it is true that ‘‘the commission visited manufac tories, accompanied by American steel manu facturers, who saw unofficially, but with practical eyes, every department of work in the steel furnaces,”” Mr. Clifford’s inquiries are pertinent, and if they are founded on fact, they will form a curious revelation of how affairs were worked at a time when the States were undoubtedly ** sore ” against this country; but all stories of this kind must be taken with reservations cr Brown Tint for lron and Steel.
