/ES fe the Oller ear! NT, here At, ye the 2 .co Is. whee — Published every Thu The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. Vol. XX XI: No. 16. The Fire Risks of High Buildings. The Journal of Commerce says that the effective working power of fire departments seems nearly to have reached its limits. No improvement has been made for some years in the capacity and delivery of steam fire | engines. Perhaps when some substitute is found better than water for the extinguish- ment of fires the present deficiency may be remedied. The acknowledgment of Chief Bates that the New York Fire Department has no means of controlling fires which occur in any part of a building over 75 feet high is an admission of great significance. a case the trouble is not to be met by multi- plying engines. Twenty machines will throw water upon and into a fire no higher than one machine. The extreme limit at which the apparatus can be made really useful is about 65 feet. It follows from these facts that all buildings (especially those destined to be occupied by human beings or to contain combustible materials in quantity) should be rendered fire-proof at least from a hight of 65 feet upward. It may be said that all structures rising beyond that hight should be fire-proof throughout, and this would be a precaution on the side | of safety. But if the upper stories of the tallest buildings were incombustible, there would be a sense of security which is not now felt against a repetition of the Chicago and Boston fires in New York. Referring again to the excellent reports and recomendations lately made to the Board of Underwriters, we find that there are only five strictly first-class fire-proof buildings in the great dry-goods district. The number over 70 feet high is 562, and of these 170 are over 80 feet high, 32 over 90 feet high, seven over 100 feet high, and one towers to 125 feet. Here, then, are numerous buildings, the upper stories of which, if in flames, would defy the best efforts of the Fire De- | partment. A fire once thoroughly started | in that district, with a gale blowing at the | time, would sweep freely over these inac- | cessible roofs until checked (if at all) z | street space or by the blowing up of some buidings in the path of the conflagration. As the tendency of architecture in New York is toward structures of the loftiest class—for apartment houses and offices and other pur- poses—the necessity of making them fire proof becomes more urgent. It isa very | serious matter, to which neither the Fire | Department nor the Underwriters’ Board | attaches no small importance. We are not | surprised that the insurance companies are | debating a proposition to charge in an in-| creasing ratio for each 5 feet above 65 of | hight, except where buildings are absolutely fire-proof. We commend the statements ef Chief | Bates and of the underwriters to the atten- | tion of the Senate committee who are now considering the scheme of a new building | law. The builders and architects are mak- | ing. themselves heard before the c mumittee | With suggestions. Their ideas are valu- able, but do not cover the whole subject. Owners and builders are naturally not in favor of making those large outlays w hich | alone can give the fire-proof quality to the | whole or any part cf a structure. And} architects may be expected to sympathize | with owners and builders. The vast inter- ests of the metropolis, which are all at the hazard of fire, should far outweigh those of the comparatively few who erect and own buildings in and out of the dry-goods dis- trict, and who are ready to yay any fines of insurance that may be imposed in prefer ence to making their property strictly fire- proof, In such | r ; : = : ner Furnaces at the Graz) of, instead of directly below, the furnaces, | Steel Works, The Graz Steel Works of the Southern Railway Co., Austria, were established in Austria. jand the use of overhead gas flues is thus }entirely avoided, the gases veyed entirely underground. bein e The the year 1862 with the special object of the railway. 1877 Mr. company, the works at two of | Capacity.

The metal so cast has the following constitution and properties : 40 to o.50 per cenf, ceaetRKOes 0.30 to 0.40 per cent. Manganese és 0.45 to o.60 per cent, Phosphorus.... stesseeee+.-0,06 tO 0.09 per cent. Tenaci.y ‘usin 38 tons per squre inch Exte, sion 10 to 14 per cent, in ro diameters Contraetion of area ‘ to 40 per cent, When required, however, a very much ‘harder metal is cast, which contains about 0.6 per cent. of carbon, and can be | used for tool steel. In connection with the ingot crane of the !two large furnaces, Mr. Prochaska has | adopted the plan of filling the ingots (two at atime), not from the ingot ladle itself directly, but by the use of an intermediate vessel intended to break the shock of the metal cast as it generally is. This vessel is slung from the ingot ladle, and naturally lies just below it, between it and the ingot molds. The ingots are allowed to cool before taking them to the rolling mills. The heating furnaces for the cogging mill, of which there are two, are 26 feet 3 inches long and slope down ward throughout their whole length. Each } Carbon Silicon one aE rorn4rnnmnr moor Torre roe Iran 3 could readily be applied at different points | and over considerable areas, and at the same time maintain an uninterrupted connection with the accumulator pressure in the mains. The system had been extended to machinery of sufficient gap to span the deepest girders, | the same hydraulic power which actuated the heavier machines being utilized for lifting them. The water driving these machines and their lifting apparatus was supplied under a pressure of 1500 pounds per square inch, Among the different applications of these machines the author mentioned the riveting of locomotive boilers, the fastening of rivets in gun carriages and in agricultural machin ery, their use for railway wagon work and for riveting ships. The substitution of hy- draulie machinery for punching and shear- ing metals had been more gradual, but it had proved economical, and had been employed for shearing the links of chain cables 3 inches in diameter, both sides at one time. To obtain the full advantages due to the appli- cation of hydraulic pressure to machine tools, the system should be applied through- out the works. This had first been first carried out completely at the French naval dock- yard at Toulon for building iron and steel war ships. A similar plant has since been erected at the shipyard of the Forges et Chantiets de la Loire, at Penhouet, near St. Nazaire, and another is now being con- rerrrrrer 4 WALT Siemens-Martin Furnaces at the Graz Steel Works.—Fig. 4.—Section Along Line C D of ingot is entered at the upper end and is worked down until it gets to the bottom end, | from which it is removed to be cugged. | Each furnace holds about 20 ingots at a time, | which are, of course, repeatedly turned over | and uniformly heated as they pass from one end to the other. From 70 to 80 tons of ingots can be passed through each furnace in 24 hours. The furnaces are partly heated | by gas and partly by the direct use of lignite. The cogging mill is 3-high, with hydraulic tables, while the finishing mill is only 2-high and not reversing, the rails being sent back overthe top. The engine for the cogging mill has cylinders 3114 inches in diameter and 49.1 inches stroke, and is provided with Sulzer valves worked by cam gearing de signed by Mr. Prochaska, and so arranged that the attendant can alter the expansion as the rolls require more or less power. Besides the chemical laboratory, the works | have a testing department containing a| Werder machine with a capacity of 30 tons | per square inch. The establishment also contains engineers’ workshops for dealing with the castings and other products, but these require no special attention. It should be mentioned, however, that Mr. Prochaska has very cleverly utilized old rails for col- | umns, rafters and every conceivable purpose in the shops. —— a; Hydraulic Machinery. | | The productive power and efficiency of | machine tools and of other labor-saving appliances worked by hydraulic pressure formed the subject of an interesting paper | recentiv read before the British Institution lof Civil Engineers by Mr. Truedell. The | | author in the course of his paper stated that | | some years ago he had occasion to design a machine which was required to exert a great | pressure in a confined space, at a consider- lable distance from any shafting. The machine had to be portable, and to be| ‘capable of doing a large amount of work efliciently without the intervention of skilled labor. Such conditions were of common | oecurrence, and in this instance all were suc- | cessfully fulfilled by the employment of hydraulic pressure. The paper was an amplification of the subject of the application | of this power to actuating machine tools and lother labor-saving appliances in engineering | works, and was divided under three heads, namely, the introduction and development of hydraulic-pressure machine tools; the productive power and efficiency of machine tools generally and the modes of increasing them, and the increased productive power and efficiency obtainable by the employment of hydraulic pressure for working machine tools and other labor-saving appliances. Reference was made to the unpublished experience existing on these questions. Under the first head an illustration was afforded by a small portable hydraulic aj parawus for fixing the ends of boiler in tube plates, the pressure of water employed vary 1% tons per square inch, introduction of high steam seantlings of marine boilers increased, but the formerly in ' ing from I to Owing to the sressures, the fad to be considerably mechanical riveting machines use were mostly inadequate to make steam tight joints. In 1565 the author designed a hydraulic riveting plant to difficulty. It pumps, mulator and a operation was seven times more economical than handwork; moreover, its surplus power was available for hydraulic for ‘‘setting,” or joggling, angle and tee irons. In action it was found that the ma terial was much less strained, and that the wear and tear of the molds and dies was greatly reduced, besides which the machines were moveable. Previous attempts to per- form similar work by portable machines driven by steam had not been very success- overcome the an accu and in consisted of riveting machine, presses j f Fig. 3, >. structed at Brest from the author’s designs. Other applications of hydraulic pressure were then referred to, such as for forging and stamping. Mr. Truedell held that the successful carrying out of hydraulic forging would depend greatly on the skill brought to bear in making the dies and molds. As to the productive power and efficiency of ma- chine tools generally, and the mode of in- creasing them, the author observed that the ecst of manufacturing depended upon the preductive power of the tools employed, and upon the possession of facilities for trans- porting the material to and from them. At present a large amount of lifting was done by manual labor, in which thera was room for great improvement. Owing to the necessity hitherto of using belting or gearing for work- ing them, power cranes had been applied to machine tools as a means for increasing their output only to a limited extent. The author pointed out that by the adoption of yortable hydraulic machine tools a great saving in floor space might, moreover, be effected. The introduction of hydraulic capstans had practically annihilated space in dock and railway yards, and as the haulage of a | given weight on a good road required less power than lifting it, an extended applica- tion of such machinery to engine works was to be anticipated. The suitability of this system to increasing the output of large engineering shops and shipyards was evident, and safety in lifting was insured in hydraulic cranes by the impossibility of workmen put- ting on them a greater load than they were calculated to bear. So far as the increased productive power and efficiency obtainable by the employment of hydraulic pressure for working machine tools is concerned, the author observed that the power necessary in a hydraulic system to pump water into the accumulator was jnearly always obtained from a steam en- gine; but even at this early stage the hy- draulio system, by the use of the accumu- lator, allowed of a considerable reduction in the size of the motor. A comparatively small prime mover running continually can store upsufficient energy to meet any sudden demand from even the largest of the machines worked from it, while, on the | other hand, the prime mover we iuld have to be equal to this. This defect was to a small extent met by the use of fly-wheels, which were, however, objectionable from their lia- bility to accidents, and from the strains to which the shafting was subjected, From 200 to 300 blows per minute had been obtained in hydraulic machines, and in machine tools and cianes the accumulator acted as a per- fect safety-valve. Then, for the transmis sion of power to points distant from the prime mover, hydraulic pressure is the most economical. By the use of hydraulic mans laid underground all overhead shafting may be dispensed with. Under the present sys tem, the lines of shafting to a great extent regulate the position of the machines. Ina recent case 45,000 square feet were required with shafting, while 32,000 square feet only were necessary when arranged for hydraulic transmission. In this case the cost of all the roofing and flooring of a building 300 feet long, 53 feet wide and 25 feet high was saved. A pipe of 1t-inch bore can transmit nearly 6.5 horse-power at a very moderate velocity of water, and a 2-inch pipe about 25 horse-power. All danger from use of belts and pulleys is avoided, and when once laid in the ground it needs no further atten- tion he next question was as to the suitability of hydraulic pressure to actuating the tools It has already been employed for slotting and planing machines, and its application to rotary machines might even become as ecc- nomical as any other.
