A New Testing Machine. We present to our readers this week an engraving of a new testing machine of 120,000 pounds capacity, which has just been completed by Messrs. Riehlé Bros., of Philadelphia, Pa., and is at present in operation in the testing department of their works in that city. The machine is operated by screw instead of hydraulic power, which is generally used in the Riehlé machines, and some new and valuable features have been introduced, to which the manufacturers direct special attention. It is claimed to be | accurate, compact and very strong, and under perfect control of the operator sta- | tioned at the beam. The Riehlé patent wedge grip, to which we referred some | time since, is moreover employed, being a valuable addition, as its use insures a straight pull when testing flat specimens of metal, The manufacturers control this pat- ent, and introduce the wedge grip in all their | machines. The dimensions of the apparatus illustrated in the accompanying engraving are as follows : | Extreme hight (above floor line)... ..... 7 ft. 8 in. | » a Rdeindun /tutelsivass ses .. 6ft.4in “ ik inte hrikA demas) 6eans bee 4 ft. - I Sa cuh: se wake den cb cnkue 8.275 Ibs Shinning nec ccccccnccdocvcecesssece 9.000 Ibs.

R. HUTTON. There is an old saying, ‘‘ It is a poor work- man who finds fault with his tools.” This is true in a certain sense only. It is a great | relief to attribute failure to some cause | other than a man’s own incompetency, and o.e who fails is very apt to seek that relief. Moreover, a good man will do work with a} poor tool which an inferior workman could not equal with a good one, and dependence upon good tools may unfit a man to act in emergencies where he must make the best of what he has got. But while this is true, there is no doubt that many an excellent shops is handicapped in its race for work to he competed for, because it is not fitted to seize every point of economy and to make the most of it. It will be the object of the | writer to call attention to a few of these points, dependent simply on arrangement of shops, apart altogether from the excellence r defects of the tools themselves, or the uen that handle or superintend them, The shop, as a whole, may be viewed as a tool for loing certain work. If the tool is not so structed and arranged as to be adapted | to that work, it cannot be expected that | rk can be done as cheap as elsewhere, no uatter how good the individual units may be. Iu the first place, every engineer can re- call shops in which the item of superintend- tice of labor is expensive—where the super- intendent and foreman are paid at high rates, | vet where the owners do not get from excellent men that amount of guidance o: journeymen under them which is possible in ps differently arranged. If a superintend- t has any cash value at all, it is when he | systematizes, directs, oversees, inspects tnd stimulates his workmen as to get the | most high-grade work from the fewest men the shortest time. The cost of his super- | ‘ntendence can therefore be distributed over & large number of jobs, a small proportion each. The more men he can properly rintend, the less does the cost of his la- increase the cost of each man’s labor un- | rhim. The more efficient he can be made, more money can he save to his employers ‘ each particular job by economy of the fmany. Hence this cause alone is a ‘ectly explicable reason why a badly ar- | | ‘uved shop should be distanced by its com titors How can a man oversee all 's of a shop built on three sides of a ire‘ There are hosts of such. There many indivisible departments on several tes of one building, or in separate build- which one man is expected to keep the of.

Meanwhile the employer's money ‘eaking away at the rate of a cent per ite per idle man, or the younger lads are ‘rking with the water-pail, or the thick- aded man is taking the time of his better- ” med companion to explain some detail, vecause the hard-worked superintendent to do so much walking in a day, besides ., Proper head-work, The work of the ~ a. more slowly done and not so well. | 9) .e2, Suppose a repair job has come in | @nd the : ‘he draftemen have to make drawings to | ir al — the old work.

The proper arrangement of shops for ease | of superintendence must vary greatly with the size of the establishment. One-story shops are always to be preferred, and can be secured, except in crowded cities whose growth is limited sidewise. Where there is one building it should be on one line, with the superintendent in the middle of one side. | Where there are two buildings they should be parallel side by side, with the office build- ing connecting them in the middle, so that they form a letter H in plan. that plan would be an establishment in the shape of a letter L, with the office and draw- | ing-rooms in the angle. Where the plant is larger yet, the office should be in the center, with the shops on all sides of it, and yard- room between. The shops may be in sections of a circle whose center is in the office building. But another feature in which shops often show a bad arrange- ment is in the matter of receipt and delivery of eo broken work is to be taken into the shop, and finished or repaired jobs it. In shops for light ling of work is by un- aided muscle, this ques- tion is not so vita]. But where the work is large, such as boilers, large engines and the like, and the aid of machinery it is so bulky as to block faulty arrangement be- gins to cost money. It is a general principle portation in any works should not cross each other. This is true of the individual shop and of the works asa whole, and might be worked out in detail with illus- But it is spe- cially bad when two cur- rents in opposite direc- tions must use the same channel. For instance, in a large works before the mind of the writer, the traveling crane of the main erecting shop is depended on to load shipping trucks. These must back in through the door, and that door is available for nothing else until the blockade is raised. Or again, where the forge is on one side of. the finish- ing shops and the foun- both doors of entry are also shippizg doors, it unusual to see tools and their opera- tors standing idle, wait- ing till the ebb of fin- ished work shall permit the flowing in of the tide of new work, On the other hand, by ar- ranging the shop so that raw material and new work enter at one end, and are gradually fed down through the pro- | | cesses and tools so as to be shipped at the other end, when completed, there is the least delay and least loss of time and money. There is room for the exercise of great skill in ar- ranging the tools in a single shop so that work shall never be called on to retrace its path and go against the currents. The same skill may be shown in so arranging a whole works. From the foundry, the forge and the smith shop, converging streams should pour their flood into one end of the finishing shop. An inlet must also be provided for repair work coming from outside sources. At the lower end of the finishing shop should be a receiving area, in which may accumu- late finished work for inspection, for tak- | ing apart, slushing and boxing. All these should be possible without obstruction of the system of internal communication of that shop. It is always better to assemble and erect work at one end of a shop rather than in its middle, or promiscuously about it. In locomotive works and some others, a separate —_ is wisely set apart for this assembling and floor work. By concentrating in this way, apparatus and fixtures for one class of work are kept together. No time is wasted in slinging duplicate tackle, transporting jacks, blocking and shores from one part of a building to another, and sub-foremen espe- cially fitted for this class of work can over- look a larger gang. Shipments may be made at any time from such an area, and the rest of the establishment need know or care noth- These | Next best to} NEW TESTING | f | when work is sent off by the inconvenience it | allel shops should also be taken off from near | be near the street or near the railroad ¢ | causes. Inconvenience and discomfort caused | the middle, and not from one end, as is so | the country, and in a plan similar to those | to workmen is a cash loss to the employer. But again, supposing tha tools in each shop to be logically arranged, it is a bad arrange- ment of plant, as a whole, which necessitates much transhipment of work from one type | of conveying machinery to another. To lead | a ton from pivot crane in foundry or forge | | building, and two belts or wire ropes from upon a buggy from which a traveling crane shall lift it and transport it to a distant part of the floor, to be again handled by special tackling, entails a loss of time and labor in successive slingings which is entirely unne- cessary. Yet shops are run on this plan. How much better would it be to have a sys- tem of tracks and turn-tables connecting the shops, and to have aisles between the tools in each shop laid with connecting tracks. A lot of low hand-cars could then be kept in service, and a great deal of transfer be saved. Perhaps better still in some places would be a system of overhead rails hung from the trusses of the roof, and traveling | buggies with chain tackles running on these rails. Switches for suspended systems of transportation are now sufficiently satisfac- MESSRS. PA. MACHINE, BUILT BY OF PHILADELPHIA, tory to justify thought in this direction, even for works on a large scale. This scheme would apply even to works whose arrange- ment seems to have been suggested by the fall of particles from a dredge-box. Radii can be very short, and tangents may have any direction. The expense of turn-tables would also be avoided, although the latter are equally adapted to make any changes of di rection. Differences of level would also be of less moment in the overhead system, although such differences should be rarely allowed to occur under any plan. They are simply pro- hibitory of the buggy or trolly plan in use by some of our best shops, and upheld by their |owners. Perhays in some cases they could not be avoided, but it seems wasteful to pay three men or more to do nothing but over- come unnecessary rolling friction. The rails for these telegraphs would have to be below the horizontal belts. A fourth principle which should be kept in view in planning the arrangement of new shops has reference to the driving power and its distribution. Obviously, the driv- ing engine should be as nearly central as possible, and not at one end of the primary shafting. By this means the length of shaft- ing nearest the main belt wheel have but half the twisting strain (or less) to which RIEHLE common, Thirdly, the fewer corners the} previously suggested, let the boiler-hou shafting turns, the less the cost of power. | opposite the middle of either side or end of |The arrangement suggested earlier in this paper, of two parallel buildings with a con- necting wing, makes an admirable disposition of shafting. The engine will be placed in the middle of one side of the connecting its shaft carry the power in opposite direc- tions to the two shops. By this scheme, by the use of clutches, it is possible to run half the shop overtime, or an accident in one building need only shut down that part. Where shops do not lie conformably to each other, and wire ropes pass over guide-pulleys, or shafts are directed aright by successive bevel gears, it does not take much thought to see how the item of fuel to be charged to each job will swell the total, when the same items are compared for a better arranged plant. Engineers are realizing more clearly the advantages, in the matter of administration, of having the line shaf.ing in the basement or below floor level. Apart from the greater stability, accessibility, better alignment and lubrication possible by this plan, and the dimin isbed vibration and less thickness of wall which are attainable when the support of heavy over head shafts is no longer exacted at a distance above the ground, the underfloor system makes shops lighter, quieter, and enables a spanning traveling crane to com- mand every part of the shop. Only counter- shafts are overhead, belted vertically from below, and carrying the cone-pulley belt verti cally also It is also much easier to carry shafting under ground across a driveway be tween shops in line The overhead plan ne cessitates a trussed girder or frame to car ry bearings, and the lubricants for the lat ter are liable to a!l the changes due to cold and wet, which will en tail loss of power. Brick tunnels topped with flag stones laid in cement make a very sat sfa:- tory arrangement. But this is a digression from the main point. There is perhaps no other fea ture of arrangement which causes more dif erence between two shops otherwise alike than the relative ex cellency of their trans missive and motor ma- chinery plant. No cause has such an immediate and visible effect on cost of most work as the fuel account to be charged against it. It well known that a famous builder of eco- nomical engines laid the foundation of his wealth by taking in porment t is - for his engine the value of fuel say ed by an establishment in the first year of service of that engine. The mat- ter is more visible in shops filling a few very large contracts per year, BROS., | than in a smaller job shop or one with large they would be exposed on the other system. | They can therefore be somewhat lighter, couplings will not give so much trouble, bad | alignment does not affect so many tools, and | | costly stack. | both coal and ashes, the boilers might better every element of cost of transmitting power and superintendent's room (which | ing about it, In some shops everybody knows! is diminished, Secondly, the power to par- output. It is none the less real in the latter case, however. But again, the arrangement of the boiler plant deserves notice as involving principles of economy For insurance reasons the boilers will be usually in a building by them selves, and not too near other buildings with valuable contents. The drawing office is the repository of a great deal of invested capital and ite contents are of exceeding value Such material and the books and records of the counting-room should be removed from danger of harm from fire, water or steam Hence it is a faulty arrangement which puts boilers near these offices simply to avvid con- densation of steam. Bad conductors of heat give such satisfactory results in preventing radiation that this may be neglected, as a source of loss in comparison with the advan tages gained by the other plan. When the boilers are by themselves an economical sys tem of delivery of coal] becomes possible The advantages of having them below gen eral level may be realized when the drainage system of the plant is low enough to admit of it. In this case the coal may be delivered by gravity, without cost of handling or trim ming. On the other hand, in many places the convenience of basement areas under boilers for ashes and draft may make it best to have the boilers considerably above ground. ‘This would be particularly the case where artifi cial draft was planned to avoid a high and In cities, for considerations of the plant, as viewed in plan. This causes minimum loss by condensation in steam used for heating in winter, and maximum safety for the greatest number of men and the most valuable property. Of course no one realizes more keenly than the writer the impossibility of framing gen ‘eral rules for guiding the planning of all kinds of works in all kinds of circumstances and places. There are several other points which might deserve attention did time per mit. Such are: Arrangement of plant to confine fire to one building and prevent its spread ; arrangement of plant with respect to yard areas; arrangement to keep ma- chinery for handling work always earning its interest, and many others. But t pose of the wri'er will be attained if, by this brief treatment of a subject where enincer- ing and commercial questions interlock, he , has helped the owner to see unnecessary de fects in his own or his neighbor’s plant, and if he shall provoke comment and draw out | the experience of others who have suffered from drawbacks of the types which he has tried to bring forward.— Mechanics. a ! ne pure An Immense Oriental Cannon. Amid the objects of curiosity preserved at Bejapoor, says the Londun Times, is a |large gun, formed of a mixed metal, of which there is said to be some portion of gold and a very considerable quantity of silver. The weight is 40 tons, and it is allowed to be the largest piece of ordnance of the same description in the world. This splendid gun was the work of Chuleby Koomy Khan, an officer in the service of Hoosein Nizam Shae, at Almednugger. The mold in which it was cast is still in existence, and lies neglected in the garden of the tomb of the founder, which has been converted into quarters for an Eng- lish officer. This gun is supposed to have been taken in 1562 by Ally Adil Shad, and many persons who visit Bejapoor regret that such a splendid specimen of the art of can- nou founding in India at the distance of 300 years should be allowed to remain neglected on the dilapidated walls of a city so little known as Bejapoor, instead of being placed in some conspicuous situation in England, where it would attract the admiration of the whole of Europe. Others are of the opinion that we should commit an act more worthy of a despot than a generous conquerer, in adorning our capitals with the spoils of for |eign countries, and are pleased that the gun should remain surrounded by buildings coeval with itself and associated with its history, There can be no doubt that the loss of this gun would inflict the deepest sorrew and mortification upon the native inhabitants of Bejapoor, who, both Moslem and Hindoo, approach it with great reverence, paying almost divine honor toa power which in- spires them with awe and veneration, It is ' styled ‘* Mulick al Meidau,” (Sovereign of tho Plain,) and English offlcers visiting Bejapoor have seen with surprise the natives advance towards it with joined hands and devotion in their countenances. of these gentlemen observed that while flowers were strewed on the bore, the fore part of the muzzle was smeared wit! white cinnabar and oil; there were marks as well as odors of lately burned perfumes, that plainly indicated that an offering had been made to the spirit residing in the war- |like shrine. The gun is enriched with in scriptions and devices, in the florid style which characterizes Oriental embellishments One of this nature; the portions not thus orna meuted present a surface so smooth and | polished as to be absolutely slippery, and the sonorous sound of the metal proves the large portion of silver of which it is com- posed It is a practice among young European officers to effect an en- trance through the mouth of this enormous piece of ordnance, the interior being fur- nished with a seat for their accommodation It will contain five persons without much crowding ; but the occupants, while enjoyin themselves in their shady retreat, are often ejected by a summary process.
