The Iron Age 1883-03-08: Vol 31 Iss 10

A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. Published every Thursday Morning by D Vol XXX: No. ro. AvID WILLIams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, This crane, which we fully illustrate in this issue, is designed and made by the Yale Lock Mfg. Co., of Stamford, Conn, for the Roanoke Machine Co., of Roanoke, Va. As will be seen from the accompanying cuts, it is a traversing jib-crane, and consists of the base, the mast, the jib and the traversin and hoisting mechanisms. The base is form of two 15-inch light channel bars, B B, Figs. 1, 2 and 5, which are 20 inches apart, and held in that position by cast-iron sepa- rators at the ends, and by the cast-iron base of the column C in the center. Between these channel bars, and 15 inches from each end, is a double-flanged truck-wheel, W, upon which two wheels the base is mounted. The base also contains the traversing mechanism. which will be explained further on. | On this base is securely mounte cast- iron column, C, Figs. 1 and 2, 8 feet high, and 18 inches in diameter at the bottom and 12 inches in diameter at the top. Both top and bottom of the column are provided with a circular turn-path for the thrust-rollers to travel upon. Over this column is set the mast D, Figs. 1, 2 and 5, which is composed of two 15-inch light channel bars 21 inches apart, and held in position by castings at the top, center and bottom. The bottom casting, which also receives the foot of the jib, has a pair of cone-rollers which receive the vertical strains while traveling upon the coned part at the base of the column. The center cast- ing has thrust-rollers which run upon the top of the column C, and these take up the over- turning strains. Through the mast D and the column C passes the vertical shaft E, Figs. 1 and 2, to the upper end of which the driving-wheel F is keyed. By means of this shaft the power of the driven rope is trans- mitted to both the traversing and the hoisting and lowering mechanism, as will presently be shown. Bolted to the mast is the cast- iron housing H, Fig. 1, which contains the crab mechanism. The jib M, Figs. 1, 3 and 5s, is composed | of two 5-inch channel bars, suitably braced, | as shown in Fig. 3, and riveted at its lower end to the casting at the foot of the mast ; its upper end is supported by two tension rods, 2, which pass through the top of the mast and are secured by nuts and jamb-nuts for adjustment, as shown at u, Figs. 1 and 2. | This upper end of the jib holds the sheave over which the hoisting-chain passes. This | chain is hooked into a clevis, 0, when used in connection with the bottom block p, for full loads ; for light loads, in order to increase the speed, the block p is dispensed with and the load hoisted directly. The crane is held in position at the base by the flanged truck wheels, and at the top by two 10%4-inch I | roller plate g, which carries the idler N. igs. 2 and 5, which run the/ The traversin the base of the crane, and consists of a horizontal] longitudinal shaft E’, Fig. 1, hav-| ,vv, Fig whole length of the building, secured to the | Foof overhead, and between which two | Four-Ton Power Walking Crane. | beams run the large guide roller A and | {the four small guide rollers rrr r, Figs.

These forks fit inte the collars n n’ (see Fig. 4), and operate the toggles t t’, by which the sliding hub w or w brings the disk clutches L or L’ into friction contract with the bevel gear, and causes the shaft to revolve with the same. When the lever c is in a vertical position the collars n n’ are in a neutral position, | hence holding the toggles ¢ t’ in such a posi- | tion as toadmit of the gear wheels running loose upon the shaft. Motion of the shaft in the opposite direction is therefore effected by the locking of the opposite bevel gear to lit. The hoisting mechanism is located in the | mast D, as shown at K in Fig. 1, and con | sists of precisely similar bevel gears and disk | clutches, and is fully illustrated by changing the position of the details in Fig. 4 from the | horizontal to a vertical position, with only | this difference—that a collar, as shown in | Fig. 4, is used for the support of the upper bevel gear on the vertical shaft, to prevent | the weight of the gear from automatically | effecting the friction contact of the disk | clutches. The hoisting mechanism is oper- | ated by the lever d, placed at proper bight above the floor, pivoted at g and latched lath, Fig. 1, when in the neutral position. | The crab mechanism is contained in tho housing H, and consists of a shaft upon | which is mounted a worm-wheel to which is |cast a chain-wheel. This worm-wheel hag a bronze rim with cut teeth. The cha | wheel has pockets, with which the | engages, thus obviating the use of a drum |The housing also contains a worm-shaft, placed at right angles to the worm-whev! | shaft, having at the end within the housing the worm which engages with the worn wheel, and at the end within the mast the bevel gear G, Fig 4—here in a vertical po tion—which engages with the bevel gears K K’ running loose upon the vertical shaft E. Power is communicated to the crane | means of a hemp rope, s, Fig. 5, of 5¢-i diameter, running at a speed of 1300 fe per minute, which receives its motion from the countershaft R, and is kept at 1° tension by the weighted tightener or take-u P. The power thus obtained is taken up | the wheel F, and thus communicated to the crane through the vertical shaft E, to which the wheel F is keyed, as previously ex- Chain plained. The operation of the crane comprises trav The | ersing and hoisting or lowering. ‘To trav erse the crane the lever ¢c is moved in the direction in which it is desired to have tha This unparts wotion te A N s Oo N IA BRASS & COPPER CO., No. 19 Cliff Street, | Phelps Building, NEW YORK, MANUFACTURERS OF " BRASS AND COPPER Waterbary Brass Co.

Since the time when James Watt beran the practice of keeping cx pies of all his let- ters and drawings by means of ordinary copying ink, the wants of the business com munity for means of copying letters and other papers have been steadily growing. The common copying press, with various ar rangements for damping the paper, and or- dinary copying ink, are the most common and really the most successful means The so-called ‘* hectograph,” or gelatine pad, and the Zaccato process, which is a modified | stencil plate, have probably been the most generally used when a great many copi have been wanted. They give probably the ° and certainly the most numerous copies of any of the systems which havo been largely adopted. Unfortunately, both of them depend on aniline colors for the success of their operations, the very great coloring power of this dye enab ling large numbers of copies to be readily taken by methods not possible with any other mate- rial. The business man often calls to his aid | lithography and photo-engraving for the re- production of circulars, but this entails con- siderable expense and much time. These processes are out of the question when only 50 or 100 copies are wanted immediately. i It seems as though mechanical talent might find a reward in the invention of a good and easily used apparatus for the production of numerous copies, either from type-writer manuscript or copy produced by the pen. In McKenzie’s ‘‘ Five Thousand R eceipts,’”’ pub- lished probably 40 or 50 years ago, a system was spoken of which, combined w ith the type- writer or with some other proc ess, might possibly be made available. It was ‘the use of tinfoil in the place of paper. On a some- what elastic background a sufficient inden- tation was produced so that a plaster of Paris copy could be taken. On being inked, this would yield 100 or 200 impre ssions very | best, rapidly and with tolerable clearness, The latest aspirant of favor in this copying line is a combination of the gelatine and photo- graphic process, and partakes somewhat of the character of lithography. The writing | is transferred to the gelatine in such a way as to leave the characters insoluble and capable of absorbing a greasy ink, while the remainder of the gelatine, kept wet by water, repels the ink. The process is cap able of producing a great number of copies, but we fear needs considerable skill in mix anipula- tion to produce even passable work. —_——— Dangers of Railway Travel and Railway Service. Some very interesting and also some very startling deductions, says the Railway Age, may be made from the table of railway acci- dents in the United States, re ported by the Census Bureau for the year ending June 1880. 30, The total number of passengers c arried d during the year was 260, 583,340, and the number of officers and e mployees of all kinds was 418,957. Although this includes general officers, clerks and others whose duties are we | not especially dangerous, we have not re- duced the result as we might have done by subtracting them. Taking the official totals, we find the following averages of killed and injured through causes beyond their own control: Killed, passengers, 61, or 1 to every 4,419,400; employees, 260, or I to every 1611. Injured, passengers, 331, or 1 to every 814,421; employees, 1004, or I to every 417. The following were killed and injured through their own carelessness: Killed, passengers, 82, or 1 to eve ry 601 : employees, 663, or r Injured, passengers, every 1,265,649; employees, 2613, or 1 to every 160, Aggregate, killed and injured: Pas- sengers, 687, or I to every 392,407; em- ployees, 4540, or I to every 92. From this it will be seen that the dan- |e rers of railway travel to passengers, if they |use ordinary care, are 3,257,- to every 632 213, or 1 to astonishingly small, ert I passenger being killed by the fault of the railways to each 4,419,4co who trav- eled during the year, and only 1 injured to each 814,421. The number of casualties | resulting from the carelessness of passen- | gers was somewhat greater, but still very small compared with the vast number trans- ported. With railway employees, however, the result is far less satisfactory. Out of jevery 1611 officers and men of all grade it was killed, and out of evs injor d during that year through « ) id > ! whe control the ratio the kill and injured through the aes Ao till more terribk rtainly these figure ll for greater care An Ingenious Comparison Photom irison pl eter ont wedve pr 6 THE IRON AGE. | March 8, 1883, A.
