The “ Superior.’’ * BY E. D. LEAVITT, JR. The subject of the following paper is the compound hoisting engine now building by the I. P. Morris Co., of Philadelphia, for the Calumet and Hecla mine. It is the fourth engine of its kind ordered by the Calumet and Hecla Mining Co., for whom the design was first specially made in 1874, and by reason of greatly exceeding its pre- decessors in size and power, it has been named the ‘‘ Superior.” A brief history and description of this type of engine may be of interest. Engine No. 1 was built in 1874 for pumping the water required by the separating and dressing ma- chinery at the company’s stamp mills, SIDE ELEVATION OF ‘‘ THE SUPERIOR.” which are situated at Lake Linden, Mich. It was an outcome and departure from the Lynn pumping engine, the arrangement of twice the nominal capacity of the first, and | May, 1877, the coal averaged 31% pounds per inches diameter and 58 inches long. cylinders with their outer ends placed near | a third engine, to be used for hoisting and | horse-power per hour, and the evaporation together, and their pistons connected to op-| general machinery driving at the Hecla| posite ends of a beam, being retained, to- | gether with the valve gear. The departure | from the Lynn engine consisted in inverting | the cylinder, placing the beam below them, | with its journals carried in pedestals on the | wd oe, and so constructing the beam | No. 2 pumping engine was put in regular) main that the connection from it to the crank was | situated above and between the piston con- | ition of the shaft was by | by this means brought very nearly in the| nections. The same horizontal plane as the main beam cen- ter, its distance from the same being a little + than the length of the connecting rod, Two pumps were used in this engine, one being located at each end of the beam,*and both were hung to and below the bed-plate. The latter consisted of a pair of deep hollow girders, placed parallel and bolted at their ends by heavy foundation piers. This ar- rangement afforded excellent facilities for getting at the pumps. It should be stated that this No. 1 engine * A paper read before the American Society of Mochanipal Engineers. Eugraved by UU Serves N had its low-pressure cylinder placed verti- cally, and its high-pressure cylinder at an angle of about 15 degrees from vertical. One pump was situated in the same center line with the low pressure cylinder, thus allowing the steam and water pistons to be rigidly connected. The pump at the high- pressure end of the beam was also vertical and worked by a trunk connection from the beam. Although the first engine was built with the intention and expectation that it would have a large surplus capacity, the ad- ditions to the works were so large before it was put in operation that it had to start at a speed greater by 25 per cent. than its in- tended maximum, and before it had run one year, this speed was nearly doubled.

The opening part is made fast to the cam shaft, but the closing part is driven through a sleeve, which has a key slot running its entire length; the shaft inside the sleeve has a spiral key-way, and a key is fitted to it and to the slot in the sleeve. This key is also made fast to a sliding collar, which em- braces the sleeve, and is capable of being moved back and forth by a yoke and lever. This lever receives its motion from the piston of a small steam cylinder, the valve of which is operated by the governor in such a manner that the position of the piston is definitely fixed by the position of the gov- ernor balls.

The) service early in December, 1876, and has | run constantly 144 hours per week since that date, save on weeks having legal holi- days and one entire week, when it was laid off to test the pumps of the No.1 engine after they had been fitted with improved valves. During the period of its opera- tion it has made 40,000,000 revolutions, and raised approximately 13,000,000,000 gallons of water, against a dynamic head of 51 feet. It has neither required nor received any re- pairs. The dimensions of the No. 2 pumping engine’s cylinders are 17% and 36 inches diameter by 5 feet stroke ; and of the pumps, 20 and 28 5-16 inches diameter of plungers by 5 feetstroke. The usual speed is 24 revo- lutions per minute. The third engine was erected at the Hecla mine in the fall and/ po winter of 1876 and 1877, and started early at 212 degrees.
