Vol. XXXL: No. 11. the Chapin Pneumatic Process of Making Wrought Iron. the Chapin Pneumatic Iron Company, of Chicago, Ill., have just favored us with full particulars relative to their improved process of making wrought iron, and we take pleas- ure in presenting them to our readers, to- vether with the accompanying engravings. he process, in brief, consists in the use of the air blast as a purifying agent in working iron in connection with a reverberatory fur- nace in one continuous operation, and results thus far gained are said to have been satis- | factory. Asa general thing, the good quali- ties of several 1:echanical puddlers have not | vet been able to outweigh their defects, and the numerous improvements put upon the | rdinary puddling furnace have not yet been | ible to obviate the necessity of a large amount of exhausting and costly labor, or the necessity of using an expensive ‘‘ fet- tling.” The lack of homogeneity of product, demanding an additional waste before it can be reduced to a merchantable shape, is an- other item of no little importance, and the air blast must be accepted as the most efficient and economical agent in reduc- ing cast iron to a wrought condition. Mr. Chapin, in carrying out his invention, has sought to avoid the acknowledged difficulties of the mechanical puddler and the generally accepted defects of the stationary puddling | furnace. A plant claiming tosolve the problem | has recently been erected near Chicagu, and besides the blast-furnace engine, not here represented, consists of one elevator, one | cupola, one converter, four ballers with attached furnaces and flues, one elevated track for traveling-ladle truck, one stack and one Winslow squeezer. ‘The plant, as here shown, is buta half or a single plant, but is constructed on a plan which anticipates its being easily doubled in size and quadrupled in capacity. A double or full-sized plant, be- side the biast engine and elevator, not repre- sented in our engravings, would consist of | two cupolas, two converters, extended travel- | ing-ladle track, ten or more ballers, one stack and one squeezer, as now, and have an esti- | mated capacity of 250 tons daily. By locat- | ing the plant near the blast furnace and | taking the iron from it direct to the con- | verter, the expense of the two cupolas and of handling and melting the pig could | be dispensed with, and thus appreciably | affect the economy of the process. in| our engravings, Fig. 2 represents a plan | showing the general arrangement of the | converter and four ballers; lig. 3 is a front | elevation, and Fig. 1 a side view, The blast engine (not represented in the engravings) would have a pressure of from 15 to 1% pounds, The cupola used is Colliau’s patent, which melts 10 pounds of pig with one of coke. The converter is the usual Bessemer converter, but so arranged as to admit of 1s receiving the metal ou one side and dis- The Iron Age A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. receiving the metal. This motion is con- tinued till the balling is completed. The time required in the ballers is very brief, depending, however, on the conditions of heat and of the iron received. When the balls are ready for the squeezer, the flues in front are turned on their centers, which are at their connections with the underground flue.

One of the most comprehensive articles pub- lished on the subject is that which appeared in a recent number of the Zeitung des Vereins Deutscher Eisenbahn Verwaltungen, in which Herr Wohler has reviewed the past history | of the controversy, and has endeavored to refute the attacks on his system cf classifica tion which were made at the recent Diissel dorf meeting of the iron and steel industry respect to the question of classification was, |it would seem, occasioned by |due observance by manufacturers of the *| needful measures for arriving at excellence in quality, and in their memorial to the Gov ernment in 1877, the companies alluded to the opposition which would probably be made by the iron and steel industry to the intro- Tne action of the railway companies with | the want of | |turers in general. In drawing up the con- ditions in question, the railway companies were influenced by the desire of assuring | themselves that the material they received | was of itself fit to be used for the various purposes for which it might be intended, and they based their action in the matter on the principle of keeping strictly in view in their tests the conditions and mechanical laws which become operative when the materials | are in actual use. | In his comprehensive article, Herr Wébler | enumerates the various kinds of injury and wear to which axles, tires and rails are sub- ject, and remarks that under normal circum stances railway material is not forcibly torn, bent or broken, and that when such violent force is brought to bear on ic, then the limit of human precaution has already been passed, On the other hand, he considers that scien- | tific tests have to be arranged in view of those small and sometimes almost impercep |tible movements which, by their frequent | vetit ect the bi of the duction of tne new regulations then under | rhe ok bje is ae x a ‘a aoa lexc!
