The Iron Movement at Cincinnati, the advance sheets of Superintendent Max- | well’s report to the Cincinnati Chamber of | Commerce : The year. to the general iron interests of Cincinnati has been a very satisfactory one. It kas been a period of great activity, equable conditions and generally favorable circumstances, and one that was singularly free from speculative influences. It has been a season in which actually legitimate demand came as near regulating prices as has been seen in many years. Specially has it been an encouraging one to this city, whose manufacturers have been actively and profitably employed, and whose relation to the actual production of iron never was so | marked in its importance. In the preceding report, reference was made to the closer relations we were enjoying with the great iron region of the South, on account of the completion of the Cincinnati Southern Rail- road, the practical extension of the Louis- ville and Nashville Railroad to Cincinnati, and the completion for through rail business of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad. These results, though not actually occurring at the same time, were practically simultaneous, and mark a new era in the iron history of this city. The immediate benefits, to which allusion was made last year, have become the more pronounced in the year just closed, and the prospective advantages these new agencies are to furnish have found clearer revelation. They, too, are to have very important reinforcement by the completion of the road to Knoxville and the building of a direct connection with Nashville, which seems probable in the near future. All these have the larger signifi- cance as the mineral riches of the South be- come better known, for it is well understood that the more that is learned concerning the mines of wealth in the mineral regions picrted by these great lines of railroad, the more valuable they become and the larger importance Cincinnati assumes as the natural pout for the distribution and consumption heis products. The total quantity of pig rou manufactured in the United States in the calendar year of 1881 was 4,641,564 bet 00 pounds) tons, in comparison with 4.295,414 tons in the preceding year, and 79,875 tons in 1879. Now, of the whole | jiantity made in 1881 in the country, the irgregate output of the States of Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Mis- iri, Ohio, Tennessee and West Virginia ntributed 1,349,961 tons, in comparison vith 1,250,116 tons in 1880, and 876,445 1879. It thus appears that the dis- trict tributary to this city in the year 18381 showed an increase over the preceding year f 99,845 net tons, or about 8 per cent., and that it produced over 29 per cent. of the en- tire product of the United States, and this hotwitstanding Indiana, Kentucky and West rginia showed 20,864 tons less made than in As showing what the South is ‘ving, it may be remarked that of the whole ease in these nine States. Alabama, Ten- ‘essee and Georgia furnished 47,507 tons, or ry nearly one-half of the whole increase ‘nthe distrie: tributary to Cincinnati, the itput of the three States having been, in IDSI, 222,891 tons, compared with 175,384 tons in 1880. ‘he business transacted in pig iron at innati shows an encouraging increase * the previous year, and consequently er any preceding year, inasmuch as the Sales of 1880-81 were, to that time, much the largest on record. It having been a year free from speculation of every kind, “hatever increase may be apparent is one based on the fairly legitimate business of the city. Aecording to confidential infor- “ation furnished the superintendent of the Merchants’ Exchange, the actual sales of i iron from first hands, for consumption, ‘unng the commercial year ending August 5', 1552, aggregated 386,510 tons, compared “1th 334,702 tons in 1880-81, 248,519 tons °79-80, 212,218 tons in 1878-79, 125,912 77-78, 129,194 in 1876-77, and 137,646 | °75-76. These figures also embrace sold to go directly from the furnaces the places of consumption, whether the ‘ame touched this city or not, which “cunts for the difference between this *erevate and the actual movement, which ‘s tauch less, the total receipts of pig the past year having been 156,340 comparison with 137,161 tons in The actual shipments aggregated tons, in comparison with 97,665 4 1580-81. vill thus be seen that the past year, i from any standpoint, is the largest ‘his city hasever transacted.

The Yale Lock Manufacturing Company, of Stamford, Conn., have recently made improvements in the construction of travel ing, jib, pillar and other cranes, operated by either hand or power, which have attracted a great deal of attention, and a description of these improvements will therefore un- doubtedly of interest to The salient features of these cranes. will be found further on described in detail, consist in the adaptation of the T. A. Wes ton patent system of propulsion, combined | with the T. W. Capen patent crab, reversing and other mechanisins for the purposes spe cified, resulting in the production of cranes marked advantages We shall describe the different kinds of cranes made by the Yale Loek Manufacturing Company by selecting from those at present in use such as are typical of their class, the gene ral principles of construction being the same for each type, though of course they in dimensions of parts and details. — The first type of crane to which we desire | to call the attention of our readers is very | well represented by the heavy 25-ton travel- | ing crane, a general view of which is shown in Fig. 2. The machine consists of a bridge moving on longitudinal tracks, and a trolley moving on the bridge. At one end of the | bridge is a crab containing the operating | mechanism, and suspended beneath this is the operating platform. Power is communicated to the crane by an endless wire rope which | moves continually in one direction. The mechanisin is such that the operator stand ing upon the suspended platform is enabled, | by means of three levers, to apply the power | so as to cause the bridge to travel longitud inally on the tracks, or the trolley to travel in either direction across the bridge, or to raise or lower the load. The bridge and | trolley may be moved independently or sim ultaneously, as may be required. Fig. 4 is a | perspective diagrammatic or outline view of }an entire traveling crane, indicating the | moving cable for transmitting power, by the | heavy line on the right, which passes around lhe driven wheel F, the two fixed cables D | and D' for propelling the bridge, and the prove our readers, which possessing vary j}endless chai passing from the crab to jthe trolley, &e, Che parallel longitud inal main tracks upon which the bridge travels back and forward are indicated by A ; the bridge resting upon these tracks, by B ; the trolley, adapted to travel to and fro upon the bridge, by C; the crab is repre sented by E, and the fixed cables, engaging by means of sheaves with the bridge and crab, by DD These fixed cables are pro vided with suitable cuide-sheayes above the crab, whereby the cables are deflected down ward into engagement with their grip | wheels outside the erab-frame The crab mechanism kk does not travel with the trol- ley, but is fixed beneath one end of the bridge, and adapted to be driven by power to operate the bridge in connection with the tixed cables, to traverse the trolley and to do the hoisting and loweriug by means of chains and suitable shipping levers under the control of the operator The bridge for the 2s ling crane under two wrought-iron riveted plate girders, 60 feet long over all These girders are 4 feet 6 inches deep at the center, and 2 feet 6 inches at the ends Yhe flanges are formed oftwo6 x 6 x ¥ inch angles for the top land of two6x 4 x X in¢h angles for the bottom flange.

The operation of the mechanism is as fol- lows: Assuming the shaft A to rotate con tinuously in one direction and at the proper speed, it is obvious that the spur-wheel J will cause the pinions f and g to rotate con- | stantly in the opposite direction, as indicated |by the full arrows in Fig. 8 The pinion f carries with it the wheel F, (with which it is cast in one piece), and the latter, gearing w'th the wheel I, causes it to rotate in the opposite direction from wheel F, as shown by the dotted arrow, Fig. 8. In like man- ner the pinion g carries the wheel G, which in turn gears with the wheel H, and drives the latter in the opposite direction to that of It will thus be seen that with the shaft cisely similar in external appearance, the spur-wheels G and H, whence it follows that | wheels F and I are always running in con- ee being in the fact that ‘‘ Gautier ” | trary directions, as also are wheels G and rand will hereafter be made of more costly H.
