The manufacture of leather belts for transmitting power is yearly becoming an industry of greater importance. <A visit to one of the large factories gives an insight into the processes by which the rough, oak tanned hides are transformed into the mechanism of transmission, The hides, as they come in, are nearly as thick as one’s hand, rough and stiff. After being weighed, they go into the basement and into a large tank, where they soak for soveral hours. From the vat they go into a great revolvin; wheel of wood, 10 feet in diameter and « feet wide. The intericr of this wheel is lined with cherry, secured with screws. that the stock may not become discolored. and on Ancient Door Furniture.—Fig. 3.—Another Form of Outside Plat the inner surface are a multitude of blunt-! bound to pay a certain sum in « and a certain ry, whole settlement being adjusted as quick! and as quietly as a loss by fire in a fire or life insurance company. headed wooden pins. On these the leather continually strikes as the wheel goes round, until it becomes very pliable. This is called the wheeling process. Next the leather goes tothe knife man, a very expert operator, who, with a big and very sharp instrument, shaves off the soft or fleshy part from the under side. Thence it goes to the rolling machine, which presses out such water as it has absorbed, and next it is subjected to the scouring machine, a ponderous piece of mechanism resting on stone piers, sunk 5 feet below the basement level, which cleanses it of all dirt. The thick, strong material is now as soft to the| touch and flexible almost as_ glove kid. It has done with the basement, and goes to the fourth floor, where it is put| through the remainder of the currying pro- | cess, such as stuffing and resetting. Then| it goes down to the second floor, and to the | head currier, who prepares the leather in| Fig 1.—Ainney’s Plane Gauge. convenient widths for stretching. Part of this fluor is the drying-room, with a false floor of slats, under which are steam pipes, by which the leather is subjected to a high temperature after it has been tightly and | smoothly stretched in frames. In this the | when finished. Next, it is stoned and brushed. ‘The stone, by a curious machine, rubs the strip of leather with very rapid motion ; the brush is a cylinder with closely- very smooth and glossy. It is now at last ready for the belt maker. It is cut into if different widths, and the laps prepared for the presses, by which the ends of the strips are pressed together with a very strong ce ment made for the purpose. It then goes to the riveting table, where it is riveted and measured, and next to the winding machine, which forms it into rolls and trims the edges. Double belts are formed by cement- ing and riveting together two thicknesses of leather, prepared in the same manner as for single belts. To thoroughly cemegt the thicknesses a press of enormous power 1s used, ——— A decidedly novel expedient for prevent ing railway accidents has just been «¢ vised | immediate adoptior by a reflective Englishman, whose scheme, | ment, | , | however, we regret th , | He proposes to remit t months without ; There are two sli | the government wo a source of rev : the general public woul were being bribed to d In point of fact, railroad company to have as as possible, and juries will alway cannot show that the best care \ equipping and conducting their train respects, and are tor with contempt ~~ aE eee ee ae i me mee a mee -~_—.
