Gardner’s Patent Three-Cylinder Engine, We present this week illustrations of a new three-cylinder engine which is manufactured by Messrs. R. Dunbar & Son, of Buffalo, N. Y., and as it embodies several new and in- teresting features, a description will undoubt- edly be of interest. An inspection of the engravings will show that it has several points of excellence, and in our subsequent remarks we will endeavor to point out some of them for the benefit of our readers. Fig. 3 is a transverse section of the engine, show- in py and also a broken section of the steam and exhaust passages. It will be seen that | the engine has no dead center, and can there- | fore be started with the crank in]:ny position | and as the pistons are all single acting, the connecting-rods are always in compression, | and there is consequently no sudden blow or | pound upon the crank-pin, even when the fit | is not perfect. The pistons are deep and | well packed, and guide themselves in the | cylinders, and are connected to steel connect- | ing-rods, the ends of which form the connec- tions with the crank-pin. There is, strictly speaking, no piston-rod, and a considerable | the cylinders and pistons and connecting | extent any great reduction of pressure, and New York, Thursday, desired within the range of the governor. The packing cups around the three valve rods are very deep, and when once packed a slight turn of the gland is all that is neces- sary to re-establish the proper conditions in case any steam should leak through them. The front and back portions of the shaft are packed only against exhaust steam. The circular ring or belt of which the cylinders form a part also forms the valve seats, and it will be observed that the valves and seats | are as close to the cylinders as is possible. The passages in the belt or ring mentioned are of sufficient size to prevent to a large the stem is cut off so as to work expansively in each cylinder, thereby securing a large proportion of the power of the steam before | the latter is allowed to escape. A front view | of the engine is given in Fig. 2, by an in-| spection of which the arrangement of the | several parts will be more easily understood. | Fig. 1 represents a side view of the engine, Each drum is long, and is capable of raising 2000 pounds. | As in the single hoist, just described, one | lever is all that is necessary to operate each drum, and when placed on a dock or on ves- sels, two hatches can be unloaded at the same time, doing the work of two hoists. Owing to the general arrangement of the en- gine as already described, the appliance oc- cupies very little space, compared with the amount of work that can be accomplished.

Intending as those who wish to have their exhibits in private or special installations, must demand space before October 31, 1882. All other ex- hibitors, those of machinery excepted, who | wish space in the main gallery must petition | before December 31, 1882.

The said term will be three months after the closing of the exhibition. | (0) The goods may be exported again through the same custom house or any other; in latter case the administration will require from the office through which the importa- tion took place an exact copy of the entrance declaration, &t order to compare the same with that of clearance, advising this opera- tion for cancellation of documents. The goods not exported within tho term fixed, or ee ee in default, as found at custom ouse of clearance, shall pay dut customs tariff. i oe ; Prof. Santiago Tranor, delegate of the ‘Cummission Ejecutiva de la Exposicion Nacional Minero-Metalurgica” for the dis- trict of Hiendelaencina, Guadalajara (Spain), will forward to intending foreign exhibitors any further information they may require. —_ The cross-timbering method of framing car floors, in which the side sills are notched An indicator card obtained from a 12" x 12" | will be allowed, moreover, gratis ‘‘show- | every few feet to receive cross timbe igi- outrigged plummer block, and also some of | engine of this type, which we had occasion to | glass” fixtures for objects of small bulk, | nated, so far as we can learn, wii, Gogond the other details mentioned in our preceding | inspect, shows several interesting features, | such as collections of minerals, rocks and; Bradley, who was one of the first, if not the - Wt Pe ML, warren.

Like Fig. 1.—Side View of Engine Arranged for Stationary Purposes. economy of space is therefore obtained. The connecting-rods are attached to the pistons in the manner shown in Figs. 3 and 5, and | the pistons will follow up their connections anti worn out. On the end of each connect- ing-rod is a compensating box, which, in case of wear, can be replaced without much trouble, thus making the connection as good as new. As soon as steam is admitted into} the cylinder the power is communicated to the crank-pin directly, and as there is no cross-head or other intervening mechan- ism, the friction attending the transmission of power to different parts, as in the ordi- nary engine, is entirely avoided. The valves are ordinary slide-valves, as will be seen in Fig. 5, and each one is scraped in such a manner as to afford efficient protection against any leakage of steam. The valve motion is exceedingly simple, one eccentric in one revolution completing the travel of the three valves. The crank-shaft is coun- terbalanced so a3 to insure steady running while the engine is at work, and extends through boxes in the bed-plate, and the bear- ing on the pulley end is very long, so as to reduce 'the wear to aminimum. A gear- wheel on the front end of the shaft, as | shown in Fig. 1, establishes connection with | the governor gear, making the governor & part of the engine itself, and thereby insur- ing a uniform motion. It will be seen that there are no belts, and there is consequently no slipping, and the governing power is therefore very efficient. All parts of the governor are accessible, and the speed of the engine oan be changed to any extent 2 OO a Fig. 4.—Perspective View of Single Drum Hoister, Fig. 2.—Front View of Engine.

DUNBAR & SON, OF BUFFAL) N Ty’ shown on the top feeds the ofl into the cylin- ders with every stroke of the engine, and permits a thorough lubrication of the in- | ternal working parts. Fig. 5 represents a very simple design of steam hoister suitable for any purpose where rapid hoisting is required, such as on vessels barges, steamers, docks and mines, &c., an it will be seen that the general arrangement is very simple, all complicated foot levers, handles, brakes and clutches being avoided. After the opening of the throttle of the en- gine, the lever handle on the left engages the brake band which sets the drum in mo- tion to raise or hold the load in place. The brake to which the lever is attached is very simple and powerful, and the load can be raisei very easily by a slight pressure of the band and held or lowered to any desired point. The gearing is attached directly to the engine shaft, no part of which is exposed, so that it is practically impossible for the rope or line to foul in any way whatever with the gearing, and this, we think, is an important feature which will be readily recognized by many of our readers. On the extreme left of the hoister is a winch-head which will be found very useful on board ship for hoisting sail and other purposes. This head is provided with a c adjust- ment which can be used to drive a bilge or other . The small fly-wheel is, more- over, — off, so that a belt can be driven from it for any use desired. Another form of steam hoister particularly adapted to all cases where rapid work is re- quired is shown in Fig. 6, which, it will be one for each cylinder. Altogether the en- gine, as stated, contains numerous features of interest and value, well adapted to cause its favorable reception by manufacturers and others. Wew state, in this connection, that Messrs. Dunbar & Son have prepared a very attractive illustrated catalogue describ- ing their engine, and will take pleasure in mailing it upon application. The Spanish National Exhibition of Mineralogy and Metallurgy. From brief notices which have appeared in our columns from time to time, our readers have undoubtedly become uainted with the fact that a national exhibition of min- eral and metal): will be held in Madrid, Spain, in April of next year. It is perhaps needless to dwell upon the aims and values of exhibitions of this kind, as they have been repeatedly set forth in connection with other undertakings of a similar charac- ter, and we would therefore simply state) that, from all reports which have thus far | reached us, we think it safe to say that the most strenuous efforts will sure a successful issue. and regulations for the exhibition have been | recently issued by the Ministry of Public | ufacture, mineral waters and books. The! installation of machines, including any solid | foundation work required for same, shall be at the expense of the exhibitor; but the/ water for steam boilers and hydraulic ma- chinery, when not in excessive quantity, shall be allowed gratis. When steam power exceeding that of 5 horse (up to which it will be gratis) may be needed, the owners of the machinery will pay 6d. per horse-power per hour. Special arrangements may, how- ever, be made respecting the use on a large scale of steam or water for the tria! or show- ing at work of machinery or apparatus. Exhibitors shall enjoy the privileges of car- riage, which foreign and Spanish companies have conceded for goods coming to the exhi- | bition, at reduced rates. The expenses be- | tween the Madrid railway stations and the premises of the exhibition, and loading and nnloading of goods, shall be paid by the ex- hibitors or their agents. Foreign exhibitors or manufacturers who may have to remove or export again the goods exhibited shall antes in such cases all the advantages allowed by Chapter ro of the be made to in-| Customs Regulations, in which it is provided : The royal decree |(a) The Government commissioner or the | resident of the official corporation who may | ave charge of the organization of the exhi- Works, and the followin iculars ex- bition, or the respective representatives duly ‘suied Sbably b from them will pro to intending exhibitors, and to such of our readers who are interested in the enterprise : The exhibition will be held in the Park at | be of value | authorized, shall present to the custom house |of entrance declarations of the form estab- | lished for importation traffic, indicating the names of the exhibitors or proprietors of the Madrid.

John Stephenson and several of the early builders, he was a coachmaker by trade, and his first cars were coach bodies mounted on wheels. Shortly after the first cars were built the necessity of putting several together was realized, and naturally the coach-body system of framing was the one employed. When long cars came into use the partitious between the coach bodies were removed, but the floor timbering still retained its old form. It was not until many years afterward, when the character of the strains which a car re- ceived were better understood and were found to be entirely different from those of the old form of coach bodies, that the design was changed and longitudinal timbers introduced to take the severe strains of buffing and re- sist the blows of collisions. Of ccurse some of those who were familiar with the old plan of work adhered to the cross-timber system and thus produced cars which were a fruit- ful source of accident. We have seen one of these cars lose its entire floor from being dragged at a speed of only a few miles an hour across old rails which had been spilled off from a freight car, as the passenger coach left the rails. TO One of the chief features of interest at a recont county exhibition in Great Britain was an iron watch which had been turned out by Messrs. Crowther Brothers & Co., of Kidderminster, for the purpose of showing the extraordinary malleability of their metal. The watch is said to be perfect in every respect, ee aii * pea ie | 1 SHE IRON AGE.

The site determined upon appears to be very favorable on account of its proximity to coal fields and ore beds, from which the necessary supplies of coke and ore will be obtained. Deposits of lime- stone and fire-clay are also conveniently located, and the cost of transportation will probably be very low. Another important feature in connection with the value of the site is the proximity of many natural ravines of great depth and width, in which the slag and cinder and other refuse can be deposited at little cost, and surface land thus made suitable for building purposes, The coke ovens will be situated 600 feet from the blast furnaces, and the coke will be carried to the furnaces by railway up an inclined plane to stock houses at the rear of the blast furnaces, and thence elevated by | | |slabs about 12 inches wide and 4 inches | thick and upward for plates ; also blooms 6 inches square or more for merchant bars of all sizes. In the case of billets for hoops, cotton ties, wire rods and other small work, the 6-inch blooms are cut by a pair of steam shears, so placed as to be fed by driven roll- |ers, and the cut blooms pass into a 20-inch three-high billet mill, placed close to the shears, and there reduced to any size greater than 1% inches square, at the same heat from the ingot, and are handle: by hy- draulic lifts while being rolled. The revers ing mill is driven by a reversing double engine, and the three-high mill by a single engine. ‘the wire-rod mill is about 135 feet distant from the blooming and billet department, the dimensions of the building being 565 by 220 feet. The 1%-inch billets are brought on cars from the blooming department, and charged in the rear of the Siemens furnaces, which are of ample capacity to receive the billets necessary to keep the rod mills full at alltimes. This department is supplied with a steam hoist to the platform of the fur- two compound rod mills, and to each rod mill naces. The six blast furnaces are placed in blocks of three, but stand in such position that each furnace can be shut down inde- there are attached two continuous roughing trains placed side by side, and driven by one engine with connecting clutch between, so pendently of the others, or relighted, and that, should any repairs or fitting be required yet in no way interfere with the adjoining to the continuous train while in operation, the furnace. Each furnace is provided with three stoves, and is capable of producing 1200 to 1500 tons of pig iron per week. The ore and lime is supplied to the furnaces in the same manner as the coke. Each set of other train can be turned on and any stop- page from that cause prevented. After the billet has made eight passes in the continuous train, it is conveyed to a three-high finishing train fitted with ‘‘ repeaters,” and there re three blast furnaces has three boiler-houses | 4uced by square and oval passes alternately adjoining one auother. houses are each 121 x 75 feet, and each con- tains 10 vertical engines.
