The Iron Age Vol. XXX: No.6. Fireless Locomotives. Within the past few years steam tram- ways have experienced an extensive devel- opment in Holland and Italy, and the many important advantages resulting from the consequent ease of communication have been the respective governments having granted all reasonable privileges calculated to encour- age and promote undertakings of this kind. It has, however, been found that the system is not without serious drawbacks, the fuel | employ ed being but imperfectly consumed in the furnaces of the boilers, which necessar- ily are of small size, and the cost of raising such as to cause their favorable reception, | ature decreases, steam is disengaged from | operation in the year 1874.

When on the road the disengagement of the steam from the hot water under pressure is regu- lated by an appliance called an ‘‘ expander,” and this is open more or less, in proportion to the work to be done. The total cost of working is said to amount to about 20 cents per mile. This is estimated to be about one- third the cost of working with horses.

There is no 10-inch gauge road there 10. There is no road whatever there. The foundation for this ever-living item is this, that some six yearsagoa road of 2 feet— not 10 inches—gauge was built between North Billerica and Bedford. It ran a short time, proved a failure, and the iron and rolling stock were carried to Maine, where they now do duty on the Sandy River Railroad, which is still of two feet gauge, and thorefore novel and noteworthy. Now let the remarkable 10-inch gauge road at Billerica drop out of the papers.

The Railway Review, in a recent issue, thus summarily disposes of a paragraph which very well. It was put upon No. 169, built for the Central Railroad of New Jersey. During the past year several engines on the Pennsylvania Railroad have been fitted with steam reversing gear designed by Mr. Vogt, of the Altoona shops. He has also brought out a hydraulic reversing gear, worked by water from the boiler.

The works cover an area of about 100 acres fronting the Thames, and in time of peace give work to about 5000 men, who la | bor only for a few hours a day. At the sig nal of war, however, every department is fully manned, the number of workmen rises to 15,000 or 20,000, all the machinery is set |in motion night and day, visitors are rigidly excluded, and the whole city bustles with new life and vigor. One of the first and most interesting of the structures seen by the visitor, on the left, immediately after enter ing the arsenal grounds, is the projectile house. Here are stored for exhibition speci- mens of most of the shot and shell used for field and naval ordnance. They include not merely the missiles now in use, but what may be called an historic series, beginning with the stone balls of medieval times, and com ing down to the perfected Palliser of the present day. Chain shot, percussion shells, grape, canister, and single bullets of number- less shapes and sizes are here stored in large quantities, the conical Palliser shot, used for the 100-ton guns of the British ironclads, at- tracting special attention. The shot is about 4% feet high as it stands upright on its blunt base. It is 20 inches in diameter at the place where the conical slope begins, and it weighs 1920 pounds. The process of chill ing the point of the shot, now applied to all the projectiles of the Br itish nav y, is curious | and instructive. When fractured the chilled | part of the bullet shows a clear, bright and firm arrangement of the particles, in vivid | contrast with the duller hue and rougher par- ticles of the unchilled iron in the body of the missile. In the projectile house is preserved also every device in the shape of bullets or | cannon balls which has been suggested even to the most eccentric fancy of the British in- ventor. Among these whimsical missiles is | one in the shape of a ball covered with spikes, and another is made by stringing grape-shot | on a rope, the inventor asserting stoutly that | his cord and bullets combined would cut in| twain whole battalions and revolutionize | His invention, like many others, | ¢ warfare, | turned smooth, the center bored out and the | inside polished. The rifling is an operation needing peculiar delicacy and skill, It is done with a long stiff rod, upon the ends of which is fixed a cutting tool of the hardest steel. The guns turned out have an efficiems range of several miles, carry a conical shot 20 inches through and require several hun- dred pounds of powder for each charge The massive machinery which handles these monsters excites scarcely more won der by its strength than by its unerring ac curacy It includes a horizontal rolling bed for cutting the bed-plates for guns; a crane which easily lifts 200 tons, and the famous trip-hammer, weighing 40 tons, and said to be the largest in the world. An 80-ton gun which was burst intentionally is shown in a smaller building, and by its side lies the large gun of the ‘‘ Thunderer,” which burst acci- dentally a few years ago with such deadly results A chimney, some 200 feet high, the tallest in the arsenal greunds, and said to be one of the loftiest in England, rises in the center of ‘the Woolwich works, and in case of neces- sary repairs the services of a bold chimney climber connected with the works are se- cured. By means of a string thrown over the top of the chimney, a second and stronger string is drawn up ; this, in turn, carrying a rope, while finally a corded ladder by which the chimney is climbed, is secured. An end- less variety of details, the torpedo factory, the turf-covered magazines, and the vast system of blast furnaces, present additional matters of a highly interesting nature. Ex- treme secrecy, however, vails many impor- tant particulars from the intruder, and great caution is exercised in choosing workmen. No foe can threaten England’s peace, no warlike plan be devised, no scheme of colo- nial defense be meditated, but that they are quickly betrayed in the huge gun factories and barracks of Woolwich. The city and its arsenal may be aptly compared to a mar- tial thermometer, with a gun mold for a tube, in which the rise and fall of molten metal registers the foreign policy of the em- pire. a Walls for Steam Boilers. An inspection of any blast furnace with its exterior coat of iron plates, has undoubtedly Fireless Locomotives.—Fig. 2.—Sectional View of Boiler House, Showing Locomotive Con- nected with Stationary Boilers. has been consigned to the scrap pile. The many inventions for exploding the various shells with precision and at an exact instant of time may also be seen at this place, afford- ing ample opportunity for interesting and profitable study. In a structure next to the Museum of Pro- jectiles bullets are made, and some old-fash- ioned notions of bullet-making roughly dis- pelled by modern machinery. A large cylin- der filled with two or three tons of molten | lead is fitted with a plunger, reminding one of a huge perpendicular syringe. In the top | are two semicircular pipes, through which | the molten metal is forced, partly cooling on } its way. The two half- circular strips of lead suddenly emerge at a point of junction of the pipes in contact with each other. Just here comes one of the most wonderful mechanical processes of the whole arsenal. Instead of keeping on as two separate pieces, the straight edges of the lead strips cohere firmly at the point of contact. It is explained, somewhat vaguely, that the pipes are made absolutely true, and that the particles of lead are brought to so close contact that they co-| ing and distortion are greatly here under the same law which holds together the particles of any ordinary mass of cold | metal. Whatever the cause, it is certain | that the semicircular strips finally emerge in one solid round bar of Deation lead. An| intricate machine seizes one end of the long | coil, cuts it to small sections, punches each piece into the shape of a bullet, round cr con- ical, as required. The bullets are then in- | spected, counted, and stored for future use. | The manufacture of the large guns for na- val warfare forms the really impressive fea- | ture of Woolwich Arsenal. The construc- tion of guns which shall perforate hostile | iron clads, and the production of armor | plates which the guns of other nations can not penetrate, is the twofold problem which | is here grappled with. An inspection of the arsenal grounds shows how steadily the fight | goes on between the iron clad and the pro- jectile. Hundreds of guns, turned out but | a few years since, and which have never been fired since they were tested, are here | stored with a view of recasting them into improved ordnance. Within a few years— | almost months—they have become obsolete, and all the vast labor and expense they rep- resent goes for nothing save the experience | gained. To the cost as well as the progress | of wars these long lines of cannon, con- | demned without trial, bear mute but impres sive testimony. Two-thirds of all the struc- tures of the Woolwich Arsenal appear to be given up to the manufacture of these colos- sal cannon. struction there is made a long core of cast steel. Then strips of steel as long and large as the beams of a house are wrapped around | the breech end. The strips are laid on hot, one after another, in coils, and, contracting as they cool, form a breech of prodigious strength, Next the gun is placed on a lathe, At the first stage of their con-| | suggested to many the possibility of adopting the same plan in connection with walls for steam boilers, and questions relating to this subject have probably in many cases yielded matter for fruitful reflection. Incasing brick walls of steam boiler furnaces in this manner is not impossible, and would, perhaps, in many cases, work very well, but as far as the question of economy of construction is concerned, calculations will show that the method is impracticable. In the majority of }cases the plates required would cost more than the saving in the reduction of brickwork would amount to. It is of course a matter of some importance, in many cases, that furnaces should not oc- |cupy too much floor space, and that the walls should consequently be as thin as prac- ticable. The first cost is no unimportant item in favoring the adoption of such walls, and in case of repairs or in rebuilding the fur- nace, less material would have to be handled or, perhaps, thrown away. Owing to the great extremes of temperature to which fire- brick walls in furnaces are subjected, crack- favored, and are prevented only by inclosing them in iron plates and introducing strong tie-rods reaching from side to side of the furnace, thus considerably increasing the cost. In constructing furnaces for steam boilers the conditions are different; the extremes of | temperature are not 60 great and the precau | tions necessary in other furnaces may con sequently be disregarded. Some measures should, however, be taken to insure stability of the walls, cracks impairing the work of the fire, owing to the entrance of cold air, |and also the safety of the boiler, provided the latter rests upon them, as is often the case. Instead of tie-rods, theref sre, it isde | sirable to erect massive walls readily capa ble of resisting all tendency to crack or be- come bulged, such walls varying in thickness from 22 to 30 inches. ‘These walls should be perfectly solid ; that is, ventilating spaces and flues for the purpose of keeping them cool |should be entirely dispensed with Such spaces facilitate needless radiation from the walls, and consequently cause a correspond- ing loss of fuel Thick walls also overcome the objection | that is often raised against externally fired | boilers, it being held that considerable heat is wasted in them. The fact is, however, that if the walls are thick enough, solid and free from cracks, the heat expended in radia tion is practically nothing, and after they | have once been raised to a sufficiently high | temperature no further heat them In either case the weight of the boiler should not be borne by the walls, but by special columns having independent foun dations. It is only by adopting such a course that a reliable attachment of the boiler fit- ting can be maintained and leakage from the | various pipes, and consequently corrosion, | certainly avoided, is absorbed by rs ~ ew > P — =.
