Vol. XXVIII: No. 18. New Machine Tools. The accompanying illustrations sho v some new machine tools just being introduced by Mr. Chas. C. Newton, proprietor of the | many years. railway from Fagernaes, on the West Fjord velop its resources, and it is stated that the Newton Machine Tool Works, 2341 Callow- attention of English and Dutch capitalists The first tool! has already been directed to the value of the hill street. Philadelphia, Pa. is an improved vertical drill press. In| ore by one of the Swedish officials. looking over the tool the practical man is at | - once struck by the idea that the designer has bestowed much original thought upon the machine. It is evident that the condi- tions and requirements of this class of ma- chines and of the work they have to per- | form have been studied, and the difficulties | sented to the Institute in May last, I | met and overcome by good mechanical | now the honor of eubmittine some methuds. Matal has Leen plavod where it is needed to resist strains, and fram- ing strengthened where, in the ordi- nary forms, strength is lacking. The tool belongs to the class of column drill presses in which the table is raised and lowered upon a cast-iron column. This column usually forms the support for the whole upper part of the machine, and is a part of the fram- ing. One of these columns is shown in section in Fig. 2. In the new press the column is an independent member, firmly secured to the bed plate and frame, but having only its own work to do, and, in order to increase its stiff- ness, it has a web cast in its center. Fig. 3 shows a_ horizontal section through the column and frame. In re- gard to the advantages of the machine, we can hardly do better than to quote some remarks made by Mr. Newton in describing the machine to us: ‘It will be noticed that, unlike the ordinary drill press supported by a single col- umn, this one has an improvement which makes what is generally the weakest part the strongest. The strength of this tool is not dependent upon a single column, nor the stiffness of the head upon asingle arm. The column, which is hollow, has a web running through it. Fig. 3 represents a cross section of column and frame, while Fig. 2 shows the usual form ex- tensively used. This web is five-eighths of an inch thick, and is believed to in- crease the strength of the column fully one quarter. The manner of attaching the column deserves special attention. It has a collar at the bottom, and, being nicely Rbecd oe ole 1-~l-~ : ’ . drawn up so firmly by a key avi that it becomes as rigid as if it were cast solid with the frame. ‘*The frame is double-flanged and very stiff, hence it is not likely to vibrate when heavy work is placed upon the table. That portion of the frame where the rotary power is transmitted to the spindle is extra strong, being strength- ened by the addition of an upright con- necting the upper part of the frame with the middle portion. This upright also forms a bearing for the cross-shaft. In this machine the strain is distributed upon three columns instead of upon one, as has heretofore been practiced. The machine is back geared, and is also provided with a quick return motion and a work holder.” The balance weight is placed above the machine and not within the body of the column, as in the common forms of press. The details of the feed motion are nicely worked out, and there is no loss of time in changing from fast to slow motions, nor in fact in any of the adjustments. Fig. 4 is a new Gun Milling Machine, which Mr. Newton has designed for the use of armories, sewing-machine factories and a - _ |The Manufacture of Bessemer Steel and Steel Rails in the United States.* particu- “ama ) he toj NEW MACHI \lars of the operations carried on at the | Edgar Thomson Steel Works during the first six months of 1881. In that period the two converters at work produced 76,758 tons of | ingots, as against 55,428 tons for the corre- | sponding half of 1880, being an increase of | a fraction over 38 per cent. In the con- | verting department, with two converters each of 7 tons capacity, the best 24 hours’ work has been 623 tons. The largest pro-| duction in a single week has been 3433 tons ; and the best month’s work has been 14,033 | tons.+ The rail mill, in the same time, has pro- | for others. A heavy machine of the same | duced 65,087 tons of rails, as against 43,272 | style is also puilt for railroad shops, locome- | tons in the corresponding half of 1880, being | tive works and electric-iight companies, The an increase of a fraction over 50 per cent.} carriage is 29 inches long, and the worm The average weekly yield of rails during gear by which it is driven runs in a box of | 1551 was, therefore, 2503 tons, as compare oil. This construction was adopted to secure with an average of 1664 tons per week in perfect lubrication. The box contains about | 1580. In some weeks, however, these aver- half a pint of oil, which is sufficient for a |ages have been greatly exceeded. During long time. The bed is made 30 inches deep, and is of the box pattern, so well known in! connection with Philadelphia tools. The upright guides, it will be noticed, are solid in one piece, a method of construction greatly superior to the old-fashioned way of using posts, of which eight would be needed to take their places, and would be very much more likely to spring, while being more costly. The head is so arranged that it can be adjusted without stopping the ma- chine. The disconnecting arrangement 1s | by aclutch. Automatic feed can be run at the same time that the work is moved by hand in either direction. This curious and i ined i st simple valuable result is obtained in a most simp Sone 1 but unexpected fashion.

New York, Thursday, November rolled in one mill,* but I am informed by one who was present during the time that this large production was obtained by Mr. Windsor Richards, that the rails were double-headers of 80 pounds per yard. As- suming this to be the fact, you will find, on a comparison of the number of rails rolled, that our output at the Edgar Thomson Works greatly exceeds that of the Cleveland Steel Works. If we take the 19 rails rolled here during the week ending August 13 at 80 pounds per yard—the weight of the rails rolled at Eston, making the usual allowance for short lengths, we should have \a weight of at least 4320 tons.

Yver. The solution containing the two metals as acetates is treated with two or three grams of acetate of sodium and a few drops of acetie acid, and then subjected to electrolysis. The battery used con- sists of two Daniell’s cells of the usual form. The cadmium is completely pre- cipitated upon the negative pole, while all of the zinc remains in solution. The deposition takes places in the cold, and is complete within three or four hours when the quantities of the metals range between 0,180 and 0.210 gram. Nickel and Cobalt.—Messrs. H. Fresen- ius & F, Bergmann have undertaken to ascertain the conditions most faverable for the electrolytic deposition of nickel and cobalt. They recommend for both a solution containing in 200 ¢e. ec. from 0.1 to 0.15 gram of the metal as sul- phate, from 2.5 to 4 grams of ammonia und from 6 to g grams of sulphate of ammonium; a current equivalent to 300 ¢ of electrolytic gas per hour, and a separation of 4% to % em. for the electrodes. A presence of less ammo- nia does not yield favorable results. Larger quantities retard the deposition, but do no further harm. Separation > c Cadmium,.— Copper.—QG.

What the American three-high mill is capable of doing in the way of rolling rails is still avn unsolved problem. Until quite lately I was disposed seriously to doubt whether jt could equai the output of a reversing train such as those | used at the Dronfield and Weyeland Stee! | Works in England. If Mr. Windsor Rich- | ards will kindly furnish the Institute with the largest number of rails rolij jin a given time at the Cleveland Steel Wu-1Ks g | better comparison could then be made ot <j, | real merits of each of the two systems on| rolling. | With reference to rolling off direct from the ingot, I would put it to English steel makers whether they are not compelled to carry an excess of manganese in their steel to prevent heavy loss by reason of second- class rails? The percentage of second-class rails obtained is an important factor in judg- ing of the true merits of any system of roll- ing, and some information on this point would be of interest to the trade, Apart from the necessity of using a greater amount of manganese and the turn-out of a higher percentage of second-class rails, I do not for | a moment question that in the reversing rolling mill, rolling two or more lengths, as at Dronfield and the Cleveland Works, there is a great nomy of labor and of waste. It was suggested in the discussion that fol- lowed the paper which I had the honor of submitting to the Institute in May last, that Y t I le a r ] | fortnight ending August 13 is the greatest|the great yield of American steel works | lington Railway must represent a larger cost per ton than | the average of English practice.
