Vol. XXVIII: No. 13. The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal ‘Trades. Published every Thursday Morning by DAVID WILLIAMS, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter. New York, Thursday, September 29, 1881. F. Brocq’s Apparatus for Determina- tion of Water Held in Suspension by Steam. The apparatus shown in elevation and sec- tion by the accompanying cuts, is based on the principle that a vapor in contact with the liquid from which it is generated has a con- stant pressure or tension as long as the tem- perature remains constant, and a certain fixed value, independent of changes of vol- ume, occupied by the mixture of steam and water. What takes place during such changes is well known. An increase of volume causes the evaporation of a certain quantity of liquid, and if the pro- cess is sufficiently slow to allow the surfaces of the receiver to give off the necessary quantity of heat, there will be neither a decrease of temperature nor a de- crease of tension. But if by an expansion of volume when there is no excess of liquid pre- sent, and the steam is at its maximum tension corresponding to the temperature indicated, every additional in crease of volume will cause a fall of tempe- rature. This change having been determined, the in- crease of volume pro- duced by it in the re- ceiver to obtain this result evidently repre- sents the volume, at the temperetuve and ten- sion of th mixture, of the steam holding this water in suspension. The solution of the pro- blem, then, consists of finding the relation be- tween the weight of the water and that of sat- urated steam holding it in suspension, Or the temperatures and tensions of the volumes of vapor compared remaining constant, the relation of weights will be the same as that of the volumes, which can be readily deter- mined by this apparatus. In principle, the question reduces itself to take a known volume of vapor aud expand it until a change of tension is just noticeable. At that instant the relation between the in- creased volume and the original volume of the mixture must be determined. The apparatus is composed of a cast outer vessel, into which the vapor enters through a flanged pipe, A, and escapes from it by a second similar pipe, B. This box, or vessel, has in its upper side a large rec- tangular opening, closed by means of a cast plate, held in place by eight bolts. In the inner surface a b, Fig. 2, a second cylindrical vessel of bronze is secured by means of bolts and nuts. This latter vessel is the receiver of the mixture of vapor and water, having a known capacity, in which the steam and water may be readily inclosed at any desired instant. The inner vessel, the axis of which co- | incides with that of the pipe A, has a verti- | cal rectangular aperture in its end, of the | same hight as the diameter of A, say 40 mm. | (1% inches), and a width of 12 mm. (scant | % in.) Another similar opening is in the under side of the inner vessel at B, having the same dimensions. These two apertures | may be closed simultaneously by slides, moved from the outside by the screw C, working through a stuffing box. These openings must be closed absolutely simultaneously, for if the entrance remains | open a greater length of time than the exit, the vapor will be compressed in the inner vessel, while if the reverse be the case, rare- faction or detention of the flow of vapor will result. In either case the vapor will not be strictly identical with the vapor circulating in the outer vessel. In the receiver there are also two other openings, one of which, P, receives the | stuffing box for a plunge, 25 mm. (63-64ths of aninch, or, say 1 inch) in diameter. The other is in the form of a recess, M, 36 mm. (17-16 inch) in diameter. It contains a box covered by a metal diaphragm, folded in rings, forming the sensitive member, the functions of which will be explained below. This piston plunger P, which penetrates the interior vessel or receiver, is a true cylinder, closed at the inner end, and hav- ing a nut at the other, in which works a screw, by means of which the plunger is giver a longitudinal motion. This screw, being accurately cut and of steel, is made the means of measuring the exact volume of the receiver, according to the distance it is run in or out during the experiments. It is held in place by a sleeve and collar, and passes through a stuffing- box R, carrying at the outer end a small hand-wheel, the number of revolutions of which determine the exact position of the plunger, and, consequently, the volume remaining within the receiver. hese are the essential features of the An ordinary manometer could not have | placed in different parts of steam genera- been employed here, not being sufficiently | tors, as wellas the amount of priming in the sensitive to indicate such very minute varia- | latter themselves. box of bronze, affording room for its motion | tions of pressure.

A quarter revolution of the cock cuts off all connection between the two sides of the diaphragm, making it sensitive to any slight variation of pressure.

The apertures are then closed, and a volume of 125 cub. cm. (7.62 cubic inches) is inclosed in the receiver. Now the stop-cock is turned go degrees, to close communication between space above and below diaphragm, and, by turning the wooden button, the screw is run down and barely brought into contact with the dia- Nia Xe address on ‘‘Some of the Developments of Mechanical Engineering during the last Half Century.” He began by a reference to the steam engine used for manufacturing pur- poses in 1831, the steam for which was sup- plied from boilers which appeared to have been chosen rather for the convenience of the sweeps, who periodically went through the flues to remove the soot, than for the | ' 200 -~ +2 = = = ee: — OEE SE —aA Fig. 3.—BEnd View.

It is also connected with one pole of a battery, the other being m communication with the diaphragm and an annunciator, The point of the screw is adjusted to barely touch the diaphragm, making elec- trical connection and setting in operation the annunciator, which the slightest deflec- tion will stop. As small a motion as 1-30 mm, (.0013 of an inch) was found sufficieyt to open and close the circuit, phragm, starting the annunciator. band-wheel working the plunger is then moved, increasing the volume within the recetver. The pitch of the screw being 2.50 mm. (.098 of an inch), and area of piston 5 8q. cm. (1.96, or a fraction less than 2 inches), each revolution of the hand-wheel and screw will increase the volume in re- ceiver by 1.25 cc. (.07 cubic inch) or 1-100th of the original volume. Consequently, the number of revolutions of screw until contact is broken will give the percentage of water contained in the original vapor. This ap- peratus is very valuable in determining ac- curately the relative value of receivers The | purpose of withstanding any internal press- ure of steam. The consequence was that they were only worked with steam up to 3 % or 5-pound pressure above atmosphere. At the present time the boilers were almost invariably cylindrical, and it was due to the late Sir Wm. Fairbairn, once the president of the British Association, that the danger which for some years prevailed of the col- lapse of the cylindrical fire-flues was entirely removed. Boilers of that kind were well calculated to furnish steam for 40-pound pressure above atmosphere. Speaking of the condeuser, he remarked that it was a fact that the evaporative condenser, which | Si'°50 a Year, Including Fostage Single Copies, Zen Cenzs. | had been invented for nearly the whole period the association had existed, was still not generally known, and was very rarely used, even where there was not sufficient water. They either saw engines worked without condensers at all, or water works water used at a great cost, and to the detri- |ment of the consumers, who wanted such water for ordinary purposes. Turning to steam navigation, although in 1831 there were a number of paddle steamers In the vapor is allowed to circulate until equili-' British Association at York, delivered an‘ running on some of the English rivers and across the Channel, yet there were no oceau steamers properly so- called, and no steam vessels for warlike pur- poses. In188r the ves- sels were either of iron or steel, and he thought it would not be long before iron disappeared, giving place entirely to the metal which, he thought, was properly called steel. The boilers were now of enormous strength, were made with every possible care, and carried from 80 to 100 pounds pressure per square inch. The speed was very nearly I5 knots, instead of eight or nine knots an hour, and the steam vessel was now the accepted vessel of war. Com- ing to the engines used for railway purposes, he said that in 1831 the Manchester and Liver- pool Railway had just been opened, although there was no doubt that the 300 members who then came to York did so by means of the stage-coach. In 1881 the railways were every where, and the speed of the trains, instead of being about 20 miles an hour, was now from 50 to 60 miles, and in spite of this increased speed railway accidents had |diminished until out of 4,000,000 travel- ing there was only one death from causes over which the traveler had no con- trol. This, no doubt, was largely due to the block system, rendered possible by the elec- tric telegraph, and to an effective interlock- ing system of points and signals, making it impossible for a man to give an unsafe sig- inal. Other means of safety were to be |found in the continuous automatic brakes | and the use of weldless tires. At a meeting | of the association many years ago at Bir- mingham, he read a paper upon weldless | tires, in which he ventured to prophesy that in 10 ten years’ time there anne not bea welded tire known, That was one of the few prophecies that had been fulfilled. At | the same time he laid before the meetings | plans and suggestions for making the cylin- | ders and boilers equally without welding. | That was hardly the case at the present time, but he was sure that in 20 years such | a thing as a longitudinal seam of rivets in a boiler would be unknown. There was no }reason why boilers could not be made in | weldless rings just as well as the weldless | tires. Sir Frederick next referred to the various motors for the transmission of power in use in 1831, ascompared with those in use now, speaking particularly of the use of hydraulic power which the president had introduced with such great success. There was no doubt that the transmission of power by hydraulics had been of the greatest pos- sible use. It had enabled work to be done which could not be done before, such as the raising of enormous weights wherever re- quired. In addition to this there was the mode of transmitting power by gas, which seemed to indicate a very important future for gas engines. He believed it probable that in the future we should do away with the steam engine ; and although the Mechani- cal Science Section might look with regret upon it as a thing of the past, yet he doubted whether those who met there 50 years hence =p i BY F- atte oF, | would speak of it as anything other than a curiosity. He did not wish to touch at any length on the transmission of power elec- | trically, but the president did not tell them 'on the previous day what he himself had done in this direction. Many of them might know that Sir William had made use of a fall of water about a mile from his house to work a dynamo machine for the purpose of illumination. When he was last Sir William’s guest his mansion was lighted by the arc light, but he had since replaced it by the incandescent lamp, which was more applicable for domestic pur- poses, with the greatest possible success. Nothing could have seemed more improbable 50 years ago than that the lighting of a house should be derived from a fall of water. Sir Frederick went on to speak of the im provements which had taken place in the manufacture of iron from steel, and re marked that among those who had done so mucii toward this improvement, no one de serves greater praise than Mr. Isaac Low- thian Bell, who had made iron manufacture a scientific operation, There bad been little i, EE | : —_——e eee § Se ce ee > ——- a = = SS Sa ee —- Z oo 7 2 THH IRON AGH.

As to the posi- tion of agricultural machinery at present, he did not know a better machine than the agricultural portable engine. Every part was beautifully made, and the economy in its use was very great. The last subject for reference was printing machinery as applied to newspapers. In 1831 there was a steam press sending out a few copies per hour, and doing that upon detached sheets ; but by the Walter press, the process of stereotyping and papier maché, the wisdom of our sena tors delivered at 3 in the morning could be circulated throughout the country by the newspaper trains leaving London at 5 o'clock.

W MBANING AND PURPOSES Convinced of the practical failure of the present system of free trade (so called), which consists of the free admission into the United Kingdom of foreign manufactures and food products, not withstanding the exclusion of British manufac tures from foreign States through the operation of heavy and, in some instances, prohibitive tariffs ; Convinced that this refusal of foreign nations to receive British manufactures in exchange for our purchases from them is working most injuriously to the welfare and prosperity of the nation, and endangering the steady employment, fair wages and future well-being of our working classes ; This league is formed to promvute, by every means at its command, an extension of trade with all countries, and especially with our colonies and dependencies, prepared to deal with the United Kingdom upon the principle of reasonably free interchange, and to agitate for such fiscal read justments as shall prevent the procuet s of foreign States which refuse to deal with Great Britain in fair trade from unduly competing with the pro ducts of home labor, POLICY ADVOCATE! The special policy advocated by the league 1 fully set forth in a programme issued from the central office (which may be obtained on applica tion to the Hon. Secretary), together with a resumé of the reasons or arguments urged ino its favor. Broadly, and as only possible within the limit of a newspaper advertisement, this policy advo cates : (a) The abandonment of « ntanglements in the shape of long-enduring commercial treaties, which prevent us adopting such fiscal arrangements as the action of foreign nations may from time to time render needful, in the general interests of our empire. (b) It insists upon the encourage! D home industries by the free importation of raw materials needed by the labor interests of ou manufacturing centers, and the levying of import duties upon the manuf of reign States which refuse to receive the products of British labor in fair exchange. (c) It also aims at the full development of the resources of our empire, by the imposition of a moderate tax upon food from foreign States re- fusing to trade with us on equal terms, but admit it free from every part of our own empire, such policy affording (z) A measure of justice to our vu heavily burdened agricultural industry, and (2) Transterring the great food-¢ tries which we employ (outside I from protective nations, which refuse t their custom in return, to our colonies and depen dencies—these latter being already iv best cus tomers, and the only parts of the world that do not show a gradually diminishing ar: f trade open to the British artisan Whatever revenue may be derivable from the adoption of this policy the league considers should D CLAYS.

Shettleld rest-and-be-thankful spirit, yet it might be well to have brought before the section, even in this cursory manner, some notice of that progress, that it might stimulate those present and those who were to follow them, so that it might well be said that giants lived in the days between 1831 and 1881 ; but they were a puny race who lived after them, for they could not improve upon what Our English er rrespondent this week gives us some interesting facts concerning the movement, which seems to attracting a good deal of attention.
