It will be observed that there is no lateral It is only comparatively a few years since the manufacture of steel by the open-hearth remarkable results in the manufacture of Bessemer steel. Among the recent improve- ments introduced in Europe, though in more advanced practice is the Krupp washing system and the Pernot furnace. The former, a preparatory process designed to make impure phosphoretic pig available for the production of sound steel, has been tried on a large scale only at the works where it originated, at Essen. The second, the Pernot furnace, is better known and more turntables and cars are expensive, and the danger of accident is serious, The output of the open-hearth plant cannot be exactly stated until it is got into full . working ; only one furnace Sea eds running for a few weeks. The 8-ton Pernot furnaces at St. Chamond make four heats per 24 hours from unmelted pig and scrap, and ex- periments there with washed pig show that . charge can be made every four to five ours. ry * Se Sm) | Process gained a firm foothold in this coun- | transference of melted metal in ladles; the Z : try, yet we find American practice rapid | washed metal ladle stands permanently on a G C0 = = and eager to adopt improvements suggested | lift, and is once raised vertically, The time : S S or introduced abroad, aud to carry them into | and labor attendant upon swinging, turning ASS.

We need only state briefly in this connection that the Krupp washing process has, according to the showing made at Essen, proved a success, so far as regularity and completeness of the elimination of phos- phorus is concerned. The Springfield Iron Company, of Spring- field, Ill., whose new plant we illustrate this week, were the first to adopt the Krupp system. As yet, however, the washer has not been in operation, but the first changes may possibly be made when this reaches our readers. The result will be looked forward to with much interest, as it will probably de- cide how great is the 1ange of the new pro- cess, and some points which are still in doubt ; for instance, the effect of moderate amounts of silicon in the pig will be settled. cold scrap, 24,000-pound heats have been made in four hours, and 40,000-pound heats in eight hours. The regenerators prove abundantly large, and the burning gas plunges down upon and flows over the whole surface of the bath in such a manner as to heat it with the greatest efficiency. The only difficulty experienced, so far, is the rapid wear of the side lining of the hearth ; this will of course be overcome, as it has been at St. Chamond, by the improvement and adaptation of refractory materials. The importance of the removable hearth has been strikingly demonstrated ; the hearth has been run out (by means of a chain from an ingot crane), its lining entirely replaced, and again run under the roof, in 17 hours from the tapping out of a charge. Mean- while a part of the roof was renewed. It is YALE LOCK MFG. CO. 4 4 Y A L = 33 AND Office and Works, STAMFORD, CONN, 33 y S T A N D & R D 53 i ‘ae ea Y ork. 36 Pearl St., Boston.

Patent Adjustable Planes, This Advertisement is Changed Every Week, into the ladle shown in position over the pit. The steel is finally cast into ingots. We take from the excellent series on ‘* American Iron and Steel Works,” written by Messrs. A. L. Holley and Lenox Smith for Engineering, the following points regard- ing the principal features of the plant. The furnaces stand high enough to give a roomy and well ventilated floor all around them on a general level, and also a conveniently shallow casting pit. The upper part of the regenerators, and also the reversing valves, stand accessibly above ground. The charg- ing floor and appurtenances are on the op- posite side from the casting department. A movable charging platform on the tapping side, as at St. Chamond, is highly incon- venient, Casting is done by means of an ingot crane of large radius, rather than by the less con- venient and less easily moved ingot car. In the best practice there is an occasional ‘*mess ;” a ladle car is likely to be disabled by an accident in tapping or in pouring, but the parts of a ladle crane liable to injury are out of reach of a ‘‘mess.” There is a platform in front of the furnace for dressing the tap hole. The arrangement is such that the ladle may be moved over the ingot molds; or steel may be running into the To the Editor of The Iron Age: Every form in which iron or steel is employed in modern structural work, engine building or ship-plating requires the use of tests of ten- sile strength, and such is the irregularity of quality in most of the materials used that these tests must be applied to almost every plate or piece put in use. The sharp compe- tition existing in the supply of materials and the substitution of steel for iron, in- crease the difficulty on the part of engineers and builders so much that the testing ma- chine must not only be at hand, but must b capable of immediate and convenient use. A remarkable discussion illustrative of this point has just taken place at the meeting of the British Iron and Steel Institute, held at Birmingham May 5, and reported at length in a late number of the Iron Trade Circular. This discussion elicited many proofs of the irregular qualities of Bessemer steel as now made in England, and particularly of the practical defects of the recently introduced rocess of dephosphorizing pig iron in the essemer converter. It was admitted that the Bessemer steel now made is inferior to that made years ago, that the rails are not equal in wearing qualities, and that it is no more safe now than before to use mixed jn Sheets, Rolls, Rods, Wire, Tubing, Rivets and Burs, Etc.

Their strength in any finished form cannot be an- ticipated, and must be determined by tests in detail. This discussion is worthy a close examination, as the best and most compre- hensive statement of the present condition of the Bessemer steel manufacture in Eng- land. On every hand evidence is furnished of the uncertain character of iron and steel ment in an unventilated pit between two fires, and it requires the bringing in of ma- terials and of gas on both sidesof the works. The single line of furnaces gives a concen- trated stock-yard and a_ producer-house (reached by the same elevated mane) sys- tem) on one side, and a cool casting house and an ample ingot yard on the other side.

The concentrated heat in the work- ing places of many works which might be mentioned is so trying that men—all the men that can be put there—cannot do a normal day’s work, and cannot continue the work they do poe after year. It is not only economical, but it is humane, to ar- range a plant so that men can comfortably perform the best work there is in them. The cupola furnaces are set 12 feet from the open-hearth house, and their débris (drop bottoms) and slag discharge are di- rected away from other furnaces and opera- tions. One hydraulic hoist raises materials with equal convenience to the charging floors of the cupola, the washing furnace and the steel furnaces.

Experience has also shown that the same quality of material will bear a different strain, varying with the length of time occu- pied in the operation of testing. It is also desirable that the motion, as ap- plied to the tools holding the specimen to be tested, be adjustable, so that in the event of the specimen stretching unevenly or com- paratively suddenly, the slack can be taken up and the weighing beam, which would otherwise fall, can be kept in equilibrium, By expert use of the hydraulic power the beam can be kept in equipoise during the whole process and under any probable con- tingency.
