Fne Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. { Published every Thursday Morning by Daviy Wittiams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter. Vol. XXIX : No. 19. New York, Thursday, May 11, 1882. $450 a Year, Including Farkazge Single Copies, Ten Cents. Large Vertical Shear. The vertical shear shown herewith was puilt by Cavett & McKnight, Pittsburgh, for the Siemens-Anderson Steel Company. The weight is72tons. It was designed to cut hot steel blooms 8 x 8 inches, or plates 36 x 4 inches, and has cut blooms 7 x II inches with ease. The hight is 16 feet, the width 9 feet 6 inches, and the roller table is 22 feet long. The crank-shaft is driven by @ spur wheel, run- ning loose, and a sliding clutch and feather, operated by an independent steam or hy- draulic cylinder under the frame. The largest gear wheel weighs over 4 tons. The eccentric, which is of steel and keyed to the shaft, weighs 1600 a The uprights of the shear are in four pieces, and shrunk together with fourteen links of 2-inch square wrought iron, each pair forming a side on the bed-plate, and bolted with twelve T- head bolts. The main journal boxes are of cast iron, filled with Babbitt’s metal, with 12-inch diameter of journal and 19-inch bearing, There is no strain on the box, as it only has to carry the weight of the driving-wheel, shaft. pitman and cutting jaw. The cap, which weighs 2650 ~— is planed out, and a solid brass box is fitted in, which takes the work. The work on the caps is taken by four steel bolts 4% inches in diameter, with nuts and lock-nuts es through the entire lengtb of the column, which is cored to receive them. The lower knife holder is so arranged that a breaker can be set in in case of accident of any kind, such as a cold ingot ; in the latter case the breaker will give way and allow the bottom knife to drop clear of the stroke of the cutting jaw. The main shaft is 12 inches in diameter, of steel, with steel eccentric 12-inch face, and is bored, key-seated and shrunk on shaft. The yoke is of cast iron, bored to suit eccentric ; the sliding head is bored to receive the lower end of yoke, which has a neat fit so as to take the work on the end, instead of on the pin. A 4-inch steel pin running through end of pitman lifts the jaw when on the ascent, and the toggle re- ceives the shearing strain. The main wheel is 8-foot diameter, 12-inch face, 5-inch pitch, and runs loose on main shaft, with a clutch face on the hub, recessed next to the shaft to receive a wrought-iron collar to keep it up to back bearings. The wheel is continually in motion while the engine is running. The clutch slides on two feather keys in end of shaft, and is thrown in or out by a hydraulic or steam cylinder on lower end of uprights. The main spur is driven by a 24 inch pinion, on g-inch steel , which is driven by an 8-feot spur wheel. 9-inch face, which spur is driven by a 24-inch pinion, 9-inch face, on the ine shaft. The rollers in the table are handled by a Mason clutch, the lever of which stands 5 ! the hydraulic lever, and both are worked by one man. When the knife is raised up the table is thrown in motion, the ingot is run in the proper dis- tance, the table is stopped, and the clutch thrown on; the main shaft makes one revolu- tion, and is then stopped until the bloom is run in for another cut, or the bloom can be run back, as desired. The Mason clutch is on the center roller, and is driven by open and crossed belts from the fly-wheel shaft. The blades are 3 inches thick, 38 inches long and 8 inches broad, and can be made in two lengths, so they are much easier handled in dressing ; they are tem- red toa dark straw. The whole is driven y an 18 x 18 inch vertical engine. The design of this tool reflects great credit upon the builders, who are now constructing another tool, from the same drawings, for the Pittsburgh Steel Casting Co. A New Coke Oven. ___ A new and improved coke oven has recently been brought out by Mr. W. G. Merriman, of Pittsburgh, Pa., which, if it can do all that is claimed for it, will certainly be an important addition to the plant of any coke operator. From the engraving here given, it will be seen that the oven differs materially in a ce from either the bee- hive or the Belgian. It is built of brick, and is strongly bound by iron bands, which, it is claimed, ‘add greatly to its strength and prevent the formation of cracks, so common in the beehive oven. This would naturally an important element in reducing the cost of repairs. The inside measurement of the oven is 12 feet by 6 feet, being 5 feet high. The side walls are vertical until they reach & point 3% feet from the base, from which point the arch is sprung that forms the top. The charging hole, as will be seen, is in the middle of the top, and the*chimney, placed at the rear end, is claimed to considerably hasten the process of coking, since the gases arising from the coal are immediately drawn off. The front of the oven is closed by a door, which is also a considerable improve- ment, as by its use a uniform heat may be maintained, and the labor of bricking up the front every time a charge is drawn dispensed with. Owing to the simple construction of the oven, its aver- age cost is very low. The chief advantage Claimed for it, however, lies in the fact that itcan be very readily drawn. In the bee- ve oven, on the contrary, the brickwork closing the front must first be removed, the ire almost extinguished and the mass broken up and raked out. These several operations consume some time, and the oven, moreover, when ready for the second charge, 4% quite cold, thus involving a considerable waste of heat. The process of drawing Mr. | Merriman’s oven is much more easily accom- plished, the whole mass of coke being drawn | at once. This is done by means of a drag, | with a cross-piece at the end, which is placed on the bottom of the oven before charging, and which extends from one end to the other. When the oven is ready to be drawn, the door is opened, the water is| — the coke is crystallized and then a chain is attached to the drag, and with the | aid of a small engine the charge is imme- diately withdrawn in a mass. As is now the case, one man draws about 4 ovens, LARGE VERTICAL SHEAR, BUILT BY CAVETT & M’ KNIGHT, PITTSBURGH, where with Mr. Merriman’s oven he claims that one man can draw 20, and that with less labor. The oven is also stated to work extremely well on coal dust and small coal. As regards the output, the inventor states that his oven has made and will make 150 bushels of coke in 48 hours, and with much less labor and expense than can be done with any other oven. Mr. Merriman has made several experiments with these ovens in England, and the results have been satis- | factory in every instance. cc Some interesting statements were made in a paper ‘‘On the Analysis of a Piece of Oxidized Iron from the Condenser of H. M. S. Spartan,” recently read before the Chemi- cal Society, England. The specimen con- sisted of a brownish substance with many shining black particles, and resembled a piece of rusty gray pigiron. Its specific gr. was 2.63, and it was very friable. Details | are given of the quantitive analysis, which | yielded the following result: Insoluble resi- | due, 31.84—carbon, 12.57; hydrogen, 0.24 ; | incombustible, 17.54—SiOz, 16.98; FeQOs, 0.12; AlOs, 0.06; CaO, 0.15; MgO, 0.02. Cupric oxide, 0.38 ; ferric oxide, 3.21; fer- | rous oxide, 42.33; alumina, 0.16 ; manganic | oxide, 1.02; cobalt oxide, 0.05 ; sodium | oxide, 0.11; phosphoric acid, 5.24; sul-| phuric acid, 0.31 ; chlorine, 2.08; vanadic acid, 0.11; water, 16.71. Total, 102.55. The points of interest are that there was not a trace of metallic iron, a great preponder- ance of ferrous over ferric oxide, and a com- paratively large proportion of chlorine in combination with iron and manganese. - — Steel as a Structural Material. At a recent meeting of the Institution of Civil Engineers, England, Mr. Ewing Mathe- son read a paper on ‘‘ Steel for Structures, ” in which the present position occupied by steel, as compared with iron, as a material | of construction, was dwelt upon at some! length, considerable attention being, more-| saving in weight of only 12 per cent. could over, given to the question why, while steel| be obtained in a bridge having a span of was rapidly superseding iron for ships and | 50 feet, while a saving of 30 per cent. could boilers, it was so seldom used in bridge con-| be obtained in a bridge of 500 feet span.

If this to that of the greater strains permitted. A | was done, the greater demand would almost certainly have the effect of bringing the price nearer to that of iron, as had been the case with rails. The author set forth the present rules of the English Admiralty and Lloyd’s in regard to steel for ships, and directed attention to the different rules of the French Admiralty, to exemplify the alterations which he proposed. As it was by means of a Royal Commission that the present strains on steel were permitted in England, it was time that another commis- sion should be appointed to inquire into the facts more recently acquired, and to grant more liberal rules for the future. With an extension of the present limit of 614. tons, there would be such a demand as would lead to improvements in the manufacture, increase the output, and reduce the price of steel. The whole calculation would then be altered, and when steel might not only be worked to 8 tons strain per square inch, but the differ- ence in price over iron was less than it was now with 6% tons, then, but uot till then, would the era of steel structures have arrived. ————EEE ~ Elementary Science in Sehools. ’ In his annual address before the California Academy of Sciences, the president, Prof. Davidson, dwelt upon the advantages of the introduction of elementary science in the public-schoo] system, and upon the formation of schools of trade, art and commerce. He believed that the present school system had spoiled tens of thousands of artisans, but in this respect it has in a measure only repeated the experience of other countries. To state its results mildly, it may be said to have created a disposition in the pupils to avoid those occupations which demand manual labor, and seek those easy berths where some one else must do the work. It creates a false stand- ard of manly merit. Whoever has had a varied experience with young men grown up from the ordinary public schools, will be astonished at their lack of knowledge of the fundamental principles which underlie their workmanship. They have, in general, an amount of undigested, incoherent material which their teachers have christened know]l- edge, and which their own experience con- siders applicable for any and every pursuit. One of the commonest shortcomings of the young throughout the country is their inability todraw upon paper the simplest objects. Very few of them could lay down a map of the roads with which they are most familiar, or make a sketch of the plainest machine of the day, and much less convey upon paper any idea which looks to an improvement or an invention in machinery or construction. Prof. Davidson felt safe in saying from his experience that not one person in a hundred from the public schools can give an off-hand drawing of any plain object with an ap proachable degree of accuracy as to relative dimensions and perspective. This he did not think was the fault of the pupils, but rather the inherent weakness of the system. He took it as an evidence that this country is not doing its duty to its boys. It is not necessary to cram the young men, who are to build up the industrial supremacy of this country, with foreign languages, which in a few years must be pressed aside before the irresistible progress of the English-speaking races. It is a thousand times better that the boy who is to honestly earn his livelihood as an artisan should be a fair draftsman than a fair musician. The speaker praised the musical faculty, which he believed, wherever it existed, should be cultivated, but, he said, ‘‘do not spoil a good carpenter to make an indifferent musician.” The classics, music and the fine arts have their high places and their harmonizing functions in modern civilization ; so, too, has the bridge builder, the miner, the engineer and the con- tractor. Each year the demand for skilled labor increases, and the difficulties of the But while there might be no imme- pieces than is possible with iron, thus avoid-{ permitted on this new material, a much| problem of education multiply. The de- ing the numerous joints which smaller pieces involve. ment necessary for steel could soon be learned by workmen accustomed to iron, and present tools and machinery could be used for either metal. In regard to wasting by rust, suffi- cient time had hardly elapsed to prove posi- tively the durability of steel as compared with iron, but at present it appe: as if the difference, if any, was in favor of steel. Because of its ter strength, structures It was stated that the special treat- | equal to iron could be made of less weight in | steel; and in regard to ships, this saving allowed a corresponding increase in cargo- carrying capacity, or a reduced immersion. In boilers, plates, whether of steel or of iron, could not conveniently be of more than a certain thickness, and the working pressure was limited accordingly; but the superior strength of steel permitted a working pres- sure of steam one-third greater than in| boilers of iron, thus allowing a saving in the space occupied for a given power, and greater economy in fuel, | rolled into sha greater margin of safety than in iron. | ficiencies in the present system cannot be Hence the question arose whether, even| corrected at once.

As the crank goes forward the blade is released, when the next tooth is fed up to the dies, the blade again locked in the vise, and this tooth set in the opposite direction. All these movements are auto- matic, and can be carried on at a speed of 300 teeth per minute. The feeder picks up only | the tooth that is to be set ; consequently each tooth is fed to its proper position, regardless of their irregularity. In using the machine the band saw is simply hung up on a wooden bracket, as shown in the engraving, and the lower part left pendant near the floor. — CATALOGUES. MALLEABLE IRON. The Queen City Malleable Lron Co., of Cin- cinnati, Ohio, have sent us a copy of their il- lustrated catalogue for 1882, a pamphlet of nearly fifty pages, neatly gotten up and con- taining a concise description of the goods manufactured by the company. It also con- tains a description of the improved annealing furnace used by this company, illustrations of which have already appeared in The Iron Age. In the preface addressed to the trade, the company say: ‘‘Our No. 1 welding malle- ables are forgable and weldable, and have qualities not obtained by any other manufac- | turer in the United States for tenacity and ductility. This iron can be forged and drawn out under the hammer as fine as the best Swedish or charcoal wrought iron, showing extraordinary softness and ductility. It can be welded, without the use of borax or other welding flux, to steel or wrought iron, or on to malleable iron, and is, therefore, especially adapted for shears or any other kind of edge tools.” STEAM ENGINES, HOISTING ENGINES, ETC. From Messrs. Beckett & McDowell, of Ar- lington, New Jersey, with New York office and salesroom at 120 Liberty street, we have have received their catalogue dated March, 1882, of steam engines, hoisting engines, mining and milling machinery. The works of this firm are located at Arlington, N. J.,a suburb of Newark, and about six miles from the City Hall, New York. In order to make their patrons thoroughly familiar with the lo- cation of their factory, their facilities for shipment, &c., the fourth page of the cover of this catalogue is devoted to a map of New York and vicinity. Describing their factory the firm state that their drawing offices, pat- tern shop, foundry, blacksmith and machine shops, are all fitted up with the best and most improved tools and facilities. All the work produced is finished to United States stand ard gauges, enabling the concern to duplicate any details of machinery with accuracy and | dispatch. The designs in the catalogue em- brace stationary engines, hoisting engines, mine appliances, rock crushers, pans and settlers, revolving roasting furnaces and dry- ers, and mill and pumping machinery. AGRICULTURAL ENGINES. Agricultural engines are attracting the at- tention of manufacturers at the present time, and many candidates for favor are in the | sparks which may not reach the water. This spark-arrester has been in use since March, 1875, and we learn from the statements made by the company, that over 1600 engines em- bodying this improvement are now in use. The pamphlet is devoted to a description of the engine and its improvements, also to a traction engine made by this company, which likewise embodies the spark-arrester, portable engines for saw-mill work, station- ary engines, &c. GAS ENGINEERS’ AND SUPERINTENDENTS’ POCKET ALMANAC FOR 1882. We have received a copy of the work bear- ing this title, issued by the American Meter Co,, with offices in New York, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Chicago and San Fran cisco. Each of the monthly calendars has a column giving the time at which public lights are to be lit, another for the hour at which they are to be extinguished for each day of the month, and the other column showing the total number of lighting hours. The calculations are made with respect to the moon. Opposite each monthly calender is a page with the days of the month, the first blank column being for coal carbonized and ; the second yield per pound, more than half the page being left blank for memoranda. | Following the monthly tables are blanks for | summarizing the results of the gas works for each month in the year, with a final summary for the year. A considerable number of ad- | vertisements relating to articles and mate | rials of interest to gas men occupy a portion lof the book. More than half of it is in the | form of blank paper, making it a convenient pocket scaemeniaiions book. om In launching the gigantic English turret ship, appropriately named Colossus, on March 21, electricity was employed by means of an ingenious contrivance which connected the dog-shores with a large magnet; and in a | sienilar manner the christening per | formed. Simultaneously with the breaking of the bottle over the ship’s nose a musical was instrument inside an ornamented box was set at work, and ‘‘ Rule Britannia” was the result. By this time the course wa 3 reporte d clear, and as the ship gave evidence of anxiety to leave the cradle, it was deemed |advisable, though ten minutes before time, |tolet her go. The pressure of the launching | button was followed by a heavy thud. The |weight had fallen and the dog-shores had been knocked away. The ship moved in- stantly, and the huge 4420 tons— the heaviest ever launched from the Ports- mouth yard—glided gracefully down the inclined plane into the harbor, amid the music of the bands and the enthusiastic cheers of the multitude. mass of ! Ryland’s Iron Trade Circular, in a recent issue says: ‘‘ Thereis a new local demand for | sheets intended for export to the United States.
