British Plate Shearing Machine. ina recent issue of the London Engineer find the annexed engraving, represent- a large plate shearing machine recently ned out at the Strangeways Iron Works, chester, England, and intended for a eign government dockyard. Our con- orary, in describing it, remarks that the chine, though simple in its construction, nts several features of interest. In ma- es of this class the ordinary arrange- it is to cast the main standards sepa- ely and to bolt between them the bottom , Large ter-block, the whole being then either cael upon a separate cast-iron base- ite, or the bolted frame bedded upon issive masonry foundations, but in the hine of which we give an illustration all idations may be dispensed with, as each ilf of the bottom cutter- wk and base behind is ast with its corresponding side standard in one piece. The two halves of the ma hine are united by turned bolts at the front, as shown, = well as behind the bluck -here the flanges are wid red out, so as to fill in the angle formed by the junc tion of the vertical block with the base-plate. The back flanges thus serve as truts, imparting to the ttom cutter-block addi- nal rigidity, which is of so much importance in ma- hines of extra width. In this case the cutters are 10 feet 7 inches long, and the clear distance between the nanderds | is 7 feet 6 inches, By the arrangement shown, of making the cutter-slide overlap the faces of the main standards, large wear- ing surfaces and a firm hearing of the slide against the standards are secured, wii at the same time tue machine is enabled to effect the cross-cutting of a plate maximum width be- tween the ae with a minimum of distance be- tween the standards them- elves. In other words, full length and stroke f the cutters are available, while the main standards ire placed the minimum distance apart. The gap or listance from the face of the eutters to the main is in this machine 36 The main eccen- shaft is of steel, and is a throw of 8 inches, the wheel on this shaft having a 4-inch pitch. By a simple wedge adjust the ne ues, wnt the bearings of this haft ean be readily tight- ed at any time, so that vear is provided against, ind the certainty of the top cutter always descending aud square upon rk is practically secured. simple stop motion is also vided, so that the shear- action ean be instantly sted, when required, ut stopping the ma- ; the handle for work- this motion is shown on illustration. The steam linder is 18 inches diam 20-inch stroke, lis constructed of extra acity to enable the ma- ne to shear 1%-inch ites, the longest and iviest cut within the ipass of the machine at stroke. The total rht of the machine is 33 its Sl he National Railroad tnpany, of Japan, incor- ed with a capital of $20, ©o, under the auspices of the Japanese ronment, two years ago, has adopted the rican system of building railroads, and is structing the main line, which extends l'okio to Anderson, the northern sea- f Japan, adistance of 450 miles. A of the main liue, about 50 miles in th, has already been finished, and will pen to the public this month or next. It xpected that the whole line will be fin- | within three years. A increasing cost and elegance of lamps burning kerosene oil is one of the re kable features of our nineteenth century cation, especially so when we consider kas has been and electricity will be a rival to oil as an illuminator. The t porcelain vases mounted in fine brass- supplied with the mostly burners, and vhole surmounted with decorated shades ‘ most expensive sort, form a combina- of handicraft which in many cases is dis- ' of at remarkable figures. One hundred ty dollars, it is stated, is not an unusual ‘ for a fine kerosene library lamp, and it | be confessed that the fashion, though | + expensive, is a very sensible one, especially if the lamp is used both as an ornament and an illuminator. Thousands of ver y expensive lamps are sold every year, and there are thousands more to follow, for the fashion is not going to die out soon. = a The Sand Works at McVeytown, Pa. An interesting description of the exten sive sand works situated near the village of McVeytown, Pa., is given by a correspondent of the Harrisburg Patriot. Two drifts or veins, 110 feet wide, and running, the one 800 feet, the other 600 feet, in opposite di- rections, yield over 400 tons of snow-white sand for the manufacture of the best Amer- ican plate glass. The vein now being worked is 85 feet from the surface, and is underneath another, the two being separated =f} a es i | | a ——S ———— i al AA as LARG ' by about 15 feet of sand-rock, which can at any time be cut through. It is pitch dark and the atmosphere is permeated with fog, which renders the little oil lamps worn by the miners useless at a distance of a few feet. The rock is so hard as to require blasting, Atlas powder being used, but crumbling inte powder on exposure to the air. The entire output is transported to the mouth of the drift by a single mule, hauling two cars on a tramway. The cavs tre hauled one at a time up an inclined plane into the ‘‘ works” proper by steam power. The buildings are 100 feet long, a single story in hight. A new engine room, containing a 35-horse-power engine, re places the one not long ago destroyed by fire. The largest pieces of rock are fed toa vibrating breaker of great weight and suf ficient power to considerably reduce the sandstone. These smaller stones. together with all not needing breaking, pass under a pair of broad iron wheels, each weighing 3300 pounds, revolving in such a manner | that One follows the other, water freely cir culating all about them. The sand is now carried by a sheet-iron strainer, from which the coarser particles are returned to the crusher. It is then washed in inclined wooden troughs, being forced upward against descending streams of water by means of the Archimedes screw, a principle much in use throughout the build- ing. A continuation of this process results in depriving the now clean sand of most of its moisture. After draining on a sloped floor it is wheeled into several drying ma- chines, some using hot air and others steam as the drying agent. Archimedes screws bring the dried sand to the foot of an ele vator, where it is carried up in s.nall tri- angular buckets to the top, from whence it is poured into wagons, and hauled in six-mule teams to the freight depot, nearly a mile distant. The power by which the machinery is run is furnished by the canal, rooo feet distant. A large turbine wheel connected with iron-wire ropes running on large wooden wheels in two towers transmits the force ig mn i ni eee Hi | s Hl ] | HN ll) II ah It I Mh i INU L i we NT HI 2 | ain TMH HI | Hi ei | mn | i Mt qt \ Hi wr i i iif} WT iH i mi i |} j | I BUA iii) AH) Hilli| BRITISH PLATE SHEARING necessary to operate set of crushers, while the engine runs another. Both sets can use canal power when, for any reason, the en gine fails to work. The works have doubled their capacity during the past year, and if the Pennsylvania Railroad Company build the line now in prospective, across the river, the output will again be increased EE Orders by Telephone. one The telephone has hardly been in use long enough among business men to have many legal decisions in regard to its use and limit ations in the commercial world. Below we give particulars of a recent suit, which, un fortunately, throws little light on the status of the telephone in making business con- tracts. One important point, which, it seems, should have been decided, was en tirley om:tted—that of the identity of the parties in conversation. The following is the extract to which we allude: An action has just been tried at the Niagara Circuit Court, N. Y., involving the validity of an order for grain made over a telephone wire. Mr. Wilson, ore of the plaintiffs, testified that on January 22, 1553, i HI being at his place of business in Rochester, he called up by telephone Faubel & Roux, at Lockport, and, after the preliminary ‘‘ hal loos”? had been exchanged, he was informed from the Lockport end that Mr. Faubel was talking to him. Toe witness had never seen Mr. Faubel and did not know his voice. Upon counsel proceeding to ask what Faubel said, an objection interposed, over which an argument arose, the counsel for the plaintiffs insisting that the practical use of the telephone for business purposes had made a new rule of evidence necessary, and that conversation by this means with a person who said that he was Faubel should be ad- mitted. The Court held otherwise, ruling was that the identity of the defendant must first | evi- | engines, which were supplied by the Buck some satisfactory there had been cor- the two parties on resulted in nothing established by Although between had be dence. respondence the subject, it a Ot ili Hi HH HN WHIT MUU WIHVII {| HH Hii) WA MACHINE, like a contract, and the plaintiffs were driven to the hard necessity of calling their adversary to the stand. Mr. Faubel, how ever, helped them out by testifying that on the day in que sstion he was called up at Lockport by telephone to a person represent ing himself to be Mr. Wilson, at Rochester, and that a telephonic conversation ensued. Evidence was then given in support of the conversation alleged to have occurred over the Mr. Wilson, while under cross examination, said that he had used the tele phone since its introduction, and bad found less trouble in speaking with people away off at Lockport ana Buffalo than with neighbors in Rochester Faubel denied part of the conversation as reported. ‘Did Mr. Wilson and Mr. Faubel agree, through the telephone, that the defendants should deliver to the plaintiffs six carloads of white wheat ‘’’ was subs’antially the question which the ¢ submitted to the jury The jury found that they did not, and after a deliberation of one hour returned a verdict for the defendants The result is rather aggravating to the plain tiffs, from the fact that the defendants, be fore the trial, offered the plaintiffs $100 in settlement, wire, ‘ourt and Steel Works in Penn- sylvania, New Iron During the present year, says the Bulletin, the Hartman bie el C ompany hes put in oper- aiion at Beaver Falls, Beaver County, Pa., a wire mill and a steel rolling mill We have received from the company, in reply to a letter of inquiry from this office, the following comprehensive statement of its works: Ground was broken for the wire mill on October 13, 1882, and the mill was started on March 11, 1883. The product is princi pally fence wire of various grades, including galvanized wire. The capacity of the mill is 80 tons per day. The machinery is all of the company ’s own manufacture, except the eye Engine Company. The buildings are of brick and iron, and of ample size, and special care has been exercised in their arrangement so as to admit of great economy in the handling of the mate rial. Ground was broken for the steel mill on March 20, 1883, and the merchant department began rolling steel on September ist of the present year. The main mill is 200 by 216 feet, and of iron throug hout. The boiler house and machine shops are separate from the mill. This mill is built on improved plans throughout, and is a radical departure from the ordinary--tyled trains and furnaces A steel billet or bloom, 7 by 7% inches, is rolled down to 1 by '% inch without reheating, something that has never before been even attempted. Larger sizes of flat and round are rolled over too feet long with perfect ease on the ‘compound merchant mill,” driven by a Mackintosh and Hemphill engine at one end and a Porter-Allen en gine at the other. This train, with two furnaces of an improved design, is working at the rate of 60 tons of finished steel day, rolled from purchased blooms The wire-rod mill is not vet completed, but it is de signed to be the most per fect yet built. Its princi- pal features are covered by patents This department will b+ run by thr ful Buckeye engines, which are now being placed in position, Steam is fur nished by ten 60 by 16 feet steel bc ilers, and four ad ditional boilers are now be ing added. The company is highly pleased with the workings of its entire plant, and will have, when com ple sted, very pe rfect works, it owns 15 acres ¢ f g round, operates the marginal rail steel per e power road connecting the Penn svivania Railroad and the Vanderbilt system of reads, and enjovs unusual advan tayves ln every speet THE NEW PITTSBURGH STEEI WORKS Speaking cf the new Pitts buryvh steel works, the Bu/ letin states that in reply toa letter of inquiry they have obtained from Messrs Anderson, Du Puy & Co, a compl te description f their new crucible stee works at Chartiers, a few miles from Pittsburgh, The works are known as the Pittsburgh Steel Works They were built in the win ter of 1882 and the first steel was melted on April 11, 1883. The works con tain 12 beating furnaces 1 trains of rolls (one 20-inch roughing, one 3-high 16-inch and one 3-high 20-inch bar one 2-high 16-inch and one 3-high 16-inch sheet, and one 3-high 20-inch, two to-inch and two (2-inch plate); three hammers, and two 33 pot Siemens gas curnaces | and « 16-pot steel-melting holes, allowing 104 pot to be used at each heat in the steel work The works have an annual capacity of 12,000 net tons of best tool, machinery, sheet hammer, and agricultural steel, forgings, &« The proprietors of the work na letter to the Bulletin, dated September 1 sa ‘ Perhaps it would be best to inform u f the cause of building 1 new plant When the late Siemens- Anderson Steel Company be we endeavored to purchase it came bankrupt its plant from the creditors then holdin with the intention of starting up immedi ately, but the Pittsburgh manufacturers formed a combination and purchased tie works themselves We then went to work and built without delay an entire new work with modern machinery and appliances, and with tracks so located as to require no hor about the work.
