The valve C is a piston valve, and is Works.* BY MICHAEL SCOTT. It is well known that direct-acting hy- draulic cranes and lifts of the ordinary kind are imperfect in these two particulars: The weight of the moving parts is considerable, and loss is incurred " the necessity of rais- ing this weight as well as the load ; secondly, if the lifting power of the crane be invaria- ble, then, in raising variable loads, power must occasionally ba lost. It would, there- fore, appear to be desirable to provide means by which the weight of the moving parts of cranes and lifts should be balanced, and the wer should be varied ia proportion to the foad to be raised. This has been done; but I have been trying to devise something which should be less complicated and costly, be more readily applicable to existing plant without involving considerable alterations and interruption of work, and be suitable for general adoption. The loss arising, especially from the first source to which I have referred, is perhaps greatest in the case of ingot cranes and lifts employed in Bessemer steel works, the proportion of dead weight of the moving parts being great com- pared with the load, and in cranes the action frequent. I therefore propose, in the present instance, to restrict my remarks to the operation of such cranes and lifes as are ordinarily ere in England. It may safely be asserted that by far the largest part of the steel produced in England has been in the form of ingots weighing less than a ton each, and the ingot and mold combined has been under two tons. This being so, it is evident that cranes which could lift the latter weight should be suffi- cient to do the work, even if the ingots should occasionally stick in the molds, so that both had to be lifted at once, or if two ingots were raised at the same time. But while this may = heavier ingots are eee | e, and there are other things to lift. Moreover, there seems to be a tendency toward the production of heavy , 80 that we find cranes made to lift four tons and upward. In such event, it is obvious that if there were a run of light work, the action of the cranes would involve a loss of power which might be saved if the lifting power could be varied at will, but the more important, because permanent, source of loss would arise from the great weight of the moving parts of the cranes in relation to the load to be lifted. As ingot cranes command a con- siderable area, the jib requires to be of a corresponding length of radius ; then in order to secure the necessary strength of , and partly to counter- balance the load, so far as the jib is con- cerned, by a- back balance, the weight of the moving becomes proportionately great. Thus thore is a loss in the operation of unbalanced cranes, an observation which likewise applies to center-ladle and other lifts. But it is not the loss of power repre- sented by the consumption of fuel which is most important, because with the improved steam engines now in use water can sup- plied under high pressure at a very low rate ; the chief loss arises from the size and cost of the pumping apparatus, including engines, boilers, pumps, accumulators, foundations, aud buildings, which require to be provided and kept in operation to supply under pres- sure double the quantity of water which is utilized, or rather which is necessary to do the work, I have been considering how the waste water from cranes could be made to restore & portion of the power through the medium of the pumps employed to charge the accu- wulator, I propose that certain engines or machines be provided which would receive the waste water from the cranes and lifts at 4 low pressure, and return a proportion of it st a high pressure. Further, by the instru- wentality of the machines, water could be tupplied at various pressures. This will be understood from the following description of the apparatus and the modus operandi : On referring to the diagram, it will be ob- served that, in order to provide for uninter- rupted continuous action, there are two ma- chines similar in form and dimensions. Each consists mainly of a hydraulic cylinder and ram, the lower end of which is a piston fit- ung the cylinder, and on the top of each ram rests a weight. Speaking generally, tne action of the machines would be as fol- ‘ows: The waste water from the cranes and ifts being under the pressure due to the Weights on their descending rams, on its ad- “ission into the cylinder of one machine delow the piston, it and the ram would rise. When up to the top of the stroke, the waste Water from the cranes would be shut off, and it would be turned on to the other ma- thine, whose piston and ram would likewise ‘scend. Meantime, communication having Seen opened between the top and bottom of ‘te cylinder of the first machine, and simul- ‘aneously between the cylinder and the high- Pressure main supplying the cranes and lifts, ‘Xe piston, so far as the annular space around ‘Xe ram is concerned, would be in equilib- "um, and the counterpoise weight would “ause it and the ram to descend, forcing out °f the cylinder and into the pressure main a Wantity of water equal to the capacity of ‘te cylinder minus that of the annular Pi te ce ant cae ao paper read before the Iron and Steel Insti- placement of the ram. It will be obvious | | that the pressure required to raise the ram, | acting as it would upon the whole area of | the piston, would be less than the pressure | under which the water would be expelled when the ram descended, when the surface | upon which the pressure would act would be the area of the ram only, and by varying | the relative proportions of piston and ram any difference of pressure might be ob- tained, and that, so far as the action of the machines is concerned, deducting friction, | the power expended in raising the rams! above the piston to escape, when the piston would therefore remain up. T [I [| —— SCOTT'S APPARATUS FOR UTILIZING THE would be given out again in their descent in a more concentrated form. The action of the machines would be sim- ple and automatic, the valves being worked as follows: Let the machines be called No. 1 and No. 2. Let the valve admitting waste water from the cranes and lifts be called A ; the valve by which the waste water from the machine, that is, from the aunular space above the piston, escapes, be called B ; and the valve connecting the top and bottom of the cylinder, and simultaneously the cylin- der with the main, be called C. It will be observed that the valves A and Bare united by the stem or spindle, and therefore move simultaneously; but A being greater in area than B, its (Bs) action is controlled always in equilibrium; and while A and B are self-acting, C is moved by a lever ac- tuated by a tappet rod; the valve of No. 1 machine being moved by No. 2 machine, and vice versa. Now suppose that in ma- chine No. 2 the piston was at the top of its stroke, and in machine No, 1 the piston was at the bottom of its stroke, and the valve C reascend, and in so doing would open valve C of machine No. 1, whose piston would then descend. Thus the action would be continuous. But it may be asked: Suppose one piston arrives at the top of its stroke before the other piston gets to the bottom —say No. 2 arrives at the top before No. 1 is| |at the bottom? In such an event valve C then ascend, and in rising would open valve C of the second machine and allow its pis- ton to descend I have now to show how the lifting power |} of cranes could be varied, without which |they would always be working under a perenne required to raise the maximum | load, and when lifting less there would be a |less of power. As the machines described closed ; the valves A and B would open, the |of No. 1 would be clesed, and its piston | do not return the whole of the water into the former (A) admitting waste water from the cranes under the piston, and the Jatter (B) would again ascend without having com- | pleted its down stroke, and without having | pressure main supplying the cranes and lifts, | it is evident that a portion must be derived permitting the water in the annular space | opened valve C of No. 2, the piston of which | from the original source of supply, viz., mT mL Hs and ram would rise. On commencing the upward stroke the tappet rod* would open valve C of machine No. 2, the piston of which was at the top of its stroke, and the valves A and B of which have shut_ by gravity ; and the piston being thus put into equilibrium, the weight upon the ram would cause it to descend, the valves A and B be- ing kept shut by reason of the pressure on and superior area of A compared with B. When the piston of No. t was near the top of its stroke, its tappet rod would shut valve C in machine No. 2, and its piston, which had reached the bottom of its stroke, would * As the action is so simple, I have not thought it necessary to show these rods in the diagram. This should SE WASTE WATER OF HYDRAULIC CRANES. never occur, because not much above half the number of lifts or strokes of the cranes and lifts would be required to allow of the | descent of the machine piston as are re-| uired to cause the ascent of the piston of the other machine; and the pressure put upon the water supplied by the machines being somewhat higher, if it were not con-| sumed by the cranes it would go to the main accumulator. Should the converse occur, viz., should | one piston arrive at the bottom of its stroke | before the other reached the top, this would | be right, for it would simply remain at the | bottom until the other piston was near the | top, when, as has been explained, it would shut valve C of the first named, which would | the main accumulator of the works. It 3 not proposed to change the pressure of {this water, but that it should be fixed at }such an amount as would be sufficient for | central ladle-lifts and the general purposes of the works, and when the power of the cranes had to be increased, that the water should be supplied to them by the machines described ; but it should be noted that although the water required for central and other lifts would be derived from the works accumulator, the waste from all lifts and cranes would pass through the balancing machines. Now, suppose that the usual output con- sisted of ingots weighing about a ton, but that occasionally they were made heavier, say two or three tons, then let the pressure from the works accumulator and the normal pressure from the machines be sufficient for the light ingots, which are assumed to be the mass of the production ; for the heavier lifts, the water would be supplied at a higher pressure by the ma- chines. If only half the quantity of water which passed through the machines was re- turned by them at high pressure, this might be sufficient to deal with heavy loads, be- cause as the weights increased the number of lifts would decrease ; that is, a charge of say eight tons would produce eight ingots of one ton, and only four of two tons: therefore, in the latter case, only half the quantity of water would be required, and half of this might be derived from other lifts and cranes fed from the works of the accumulator, or light ingots might be in course of production at one pit, and heavy ones atanother. But even if the whole vutput was suddenly changed from light to heavy in gots, the machines could be supplied with the additional quantity of water they required from the works accumulator, the only loss incurred being, that upon probably a third or fourth of the water passing through the machines, the difference in pressure between the works accumulator and the crane waste would be lost. Suppose this difference was 50 per cent. on a third of the total quantity ; this would be equal to less than 17 per cent. lost on the whole quantity, the money value of which would be very little indeed. The arrangement by which I propose that the pressure of the water delivered by the machines should be increased at will, and thus the lifting power of the cranes be augmented, is as follows: Premising that the weights resting upon the rams are cal- culated to produce the minimum pressure ssamivad-tlaa is, something slightly above the pressure of the water from the works accumulator—two small subsidiary cylinders with solid pistons working in them would be placed alongside and parallel with the main cylinders of the machines. These small cylinders would communicate near their top with the main cylinders of the machines ; their pistons would have the same stroke ; and the action of main and subsidiary pistons being synchronus, no additional valves would be required to work the latter, for the water under pressure required to force the pistons down would be de rived from, and the waste would escape through, the main cylinders and valves. The subsidiary pistons being connected with the counterpoise weight resting on the main ram, the downward pressure upon it would be increased by the pressure on the pistons, and consequently the pressure of the water delivered by the machines would be aug- mented; and as one piston, or both, or neither, might be in gear, three lifting powers would be obtained. The pistons would be connected and thrown out of gear by a very simple arrangement, consisting of pieces hinged to the top of the rods, so that the connection could be made or undone instantly. When not required, of course they would not be at work, and stop-cocks would close the communication with the main cylinders. Ordinarily no water would be admitted under the pistons, but as small quantities would at times accumulate in the pit, a valve box would be connected with the bottom of one of the subsidiary cylinders, containing a suction and discharge valve and pipe, so that when required this cylinder and piston would act as a pump to raise the water, and when not required the operation would cease, even if the piston wasinaction. To effect this, from the top of the valve box an air pipe would rise to the sur face; this pipe would be fitted with a stop-cock which could be opened or shut at pleasure When shut, the cylinder and piston would act as an ordinary pump; but when open, the air would pass freely up and down the pipe, and as the valves in the box would then cease to operate, no water would be pumped When only one subsidiary piston was in gear, the pressure of the water delivered on the descent of the main ram of the machink would be sufficient to enable the eranes to raise loads of three tons, but the pull would to some extent be one sided, causing the main ram to bear against one side of the salar Ss ay =e: Aza wf eae ee " Sa Be Er TS = 5 oe —_ . a - = = == ea E > nam Es a OO August 26, 1881, Q THH IRON AGE.

Moreover, so far as the value of the power saved was concerned, the difference between raising three tons wich one piston at work and four tons with two pistons, would not be important. other respe cts, ram would be less. increased pressure was required, From what has been said it will be appar ent that the machines would operate as self acting differential pumps, as _ intensifiers and fas accumulators; that a pair of such machines would balance a number of cranes and lifts, and that they would supply water at different pressures, and so provide for raising various loads, a Warehouse, June 30, ISS1.

On the ist of April, according to a statement issued by Thomas J. Pope & Brother, of New York, the stock warehoused at the same five ports was 296,032 tons. The reduction in stocks of foreign iron and steel at these five ports was, therefore, 117,020 tons in the first quarter of the year, and 147,529 tons in the second quarter. As will be seen above, there were only 148,503 tons remaining in stock on June 30, which is only about 1000 tons more than the reduction effected in the second quarter of the year. Half of the third quar- ter of the year has passed since June 30. There can be no doubt that the very great reduction in the stock of foreign iron and steel held at the Atlantic ports is a leading cause of the present steadiness in the prices of domestic iron and steel — Bulletin. ee ——————— The American Transatlantic Cable.— According to advices from England, the two transatlantic cables ordered by Jay Gould at the works of Siemens Brothers & Co., will be ready for business by September 1st. They were formally handed over by the contractors on Friday last, on which day the guarantee term of thirty days of perfect testing subsequently to the laving of the cable expired. Since the connection be- tween Whitesand Bay and Canso was com pleted, hourly electrical tests have been made by the electricians in charge. They report the cable to be the very best ever laid under the Atlantic Ocean. A speed of transmis sion has been attained on it 30 per cent. in excess of the guarantee and 20 per cent. in excess of the speed ever uttained on any other ocean cable. All that now remains to be done before opening the offices of the company for business, is to complete the quarters for the company’s staff at both ends and the land line connections in England The company’s staff will be made up of men picked from the whole cable service of the world. The quarters for the American stafi will be at Canso, in Nova Scotia. The English staff are established already at Whitesand Bay, a remote but very beautiful spot near the Land’s End, on the west coast of Cornwall. There the English shore end of the second cable of the American Com- pany has already been laid. The cable steamship Faraday is now taking on board the deep-sea portion of this second cable at the works of the Messrs. Siemens Brothers & Co., at Woolwich, and will soon proceed to sea to lay it. It is possible, indeed, that both the cables of the new company will be laid and in operation before the time at which, judging from the experience of the European companies, we should have been justified in expecting to see the first one actually in use. The ,London offices of the American Cable Company are in the Royal Exchange. There would, however, be a difference in The friction of two pistons would be greater than of one, while, on the other hand, their pull being symmetrical, with both in gear the friction of the main Again, the consumption of water with two pistons at work would be more than with one, but this wowld be met by the diminished quantity, due to the num- ber of lifts being less when the load per lift was greater, which would be the case when Stocks of Foreign Iron and Steel in Through the ceurtesy of Hon.

Mr. James M. Swank pives the followin summary of the foreign iron trade in 1§ and 1881: The condition of the foreign iron and steel industries since the latter part of thi year 187g has been one of general and coi tinueus prosperity Production and co1 sumption have largely imcreased, and pric s have been more favorable for producers than durirg the immediately preceding yeam. All of the iron-making world has experienced a prosperity akin to that which was restored to the iron and steel industries of our own country in 1879, and it is not saying too much to @aim that the prosperity of these industries in other countries has been in large part due to the phenominal demand created by the United States for their iron and sveel products. A little more than a year ago agents were hunting in almost every Europear country for iron and steel rails, pig iron, old iron rails, old pots and other scrap tron for shipment to the United States. So great was our iron hun- ger that even countries at the antipodes, which have no prominence in the manufac- ture of iron, contributed of their scanty supply of this article to relieve our distress. The imports of foreign pig fron at Bostou during the third week of April, 1880, in cluded 105 tons per bark Elizabeth from Australia, and in May of the same year about 400 tons of rails ef the first, and, thus far, the only Chinese railroad, which had been toyn up by the natives in 1877, were landed at New York from the ship Tiber, which sailed from Shanghaiin the precedin; month of March. The American demand for both new and old iron and steel supplies has since declined, but the prosperity which this demand helped to create in the iron and steel industries of our European kin beyond sea stall continues, although, as in this country, m a modified degree, and we are glad to chronicle the fact that it promises to continue for some time to come. Without undertaking in this genera! state- ment to trace the course of the European iron trade during the year 1880 and the first half of the present year, it will be sufficient to note its condition at the present tinie. The demand for British iron and stee! products is not equal to the immense capacity of its various iron and steel works, but it is still larger than it has been during many recent years, except in 1880, while prices are not nearly so Jow as they were two years ago. Steel espeoially is in demana, and it is probable that the steel production of this year will exceed that of last year There is also special activity in the produc tion of iron for iron ships, English and Scotch shipyards being very busy, and requirin large quantities of both iron and steel. Th: improved foreign demand within the past two years for British iron and steel products of all kinds is, of course, the main cause of the prosperity that the British iron and steel industries are now experiencing, but during these two years there has also been a partial revival of general industrial ac tivity in Great Britain herself which ha contributed to the prosperity of the particu lar industries mentioned. The only unsatis faetory feature of the British iron trade that now exists and is worthy of notice is the large accumulatien of pig iron beyond the demands of the domestic and foreign markets, but Kngland and Scetland had so largely exceeded in 1880 the production in dicated by legitimate orders and ordinary British foresight as sufficient for the time that this accumulation, while productive o! low prices, should not be permitted to ob scure the fact that the sales of pig iron by Great Britain this year will be far beyoud the average annual sales of the last 10 years. Concerning the prices which Great Britain will this year receive for her pig iron, it does not appear that the producers of such iron as may be sold are in need of anybody's sympathy. The ILronmonger, it is true, sorrows as one without hope when it leoks at the mountains of British pig iron which nobedy wants at any price, but it lets a fleod of light upon the situation when it admits that ‘‘ we have made the iron now in hand more cheaply than at any period of our his- tery.” Great Britain is now reducing her production of pig iron by blowing out som: of her furnaces, and the close of the yea: will probably see her stocks somewhat r duced and prices no lower than they are to day. Prices fer all iron products were firm in July. On the Continent the activity of 1880 is well maintained. Buring the early part ot the present summer there were some indica tions of a tendency to over-prodaction and weakness in prices, especially in France and German, but in June the markets fully recovered the healthy tone which had viously charaeterwed them. Ths fay able condition has since continued Pris are low, as they now are in every portant iron and steel producing country but low prices may be borne if t sumpticn is active and stocks are 1: allowed to accumulate. A feeling of « fidence now prevails, no signs of an un favorable reaction being anywhere apparent On the 15th of July the London Jron said ‘* The iron trade of the Continent is exper encing the full benefit of the large demand made upon it from all sides 4 health has now become the permanent and I versal feature of the Continental iron mar- kets, and prices have had an wupward tendency.” The peace which is now general thr out Europe greatly promotes the prosperit of its iron and steel industries, as well as of all other industries which require stable cor ditions to secure their healthy development To this favorable influence is added, on Continewt, another important iniln e which seems to be more marked time than at any previous time in |} history—the spirit of mdustrial ind ence. A strong disposition to native mannfacturing resources ble in perhaps every ( except Purkey, and in none n ously than in Spain and Italy, whicl not heretofere been specially not industrial activity Austria earnest in this forward movement; Russia wel ‘ it, but her progress is impeded by many — uP a moo = Boe 5 '— =e s ~e EY hy ODOT, iy Sl fs ay «a a ee = ee == a a THEHE IRON AGE. __| Xron.
