Improved Wire-Rope -Attachments. 4 simple, but very useful, invention has tely beon brought out in England which iy ultimately come into considerable use | among miners. The invention consists in an nproved method of fastening together wire rope. An old form of fastening was the use of conical thimbles in which, after the end of the rope was inserted, the diameter was eonically increased by bending the wires, by driving spikes into the core of the rope, or by casting hot metal round it; in other cases the ropes have been pressed together by bolts and nuts, eccentrics, levers, &c. \]l these arrangements allow a more or less axial strain to take place, and have the defect of weakening the rope chiefly, and in the | oreatest degree, at the entrance to the| ! | | thimble; and, therefore, some of the wires at this place are quickly destroyed, nipped off, or worn through successively.

In our article on ‘‘Emery Scales and | Testing Machines,” published in last week’s Parliament the necessary bills for the con- | struction and working of the line.” - $e Railway Accidents in Great Britain. In the general report presented to the British Board of Trade on the railway acci- | dents that occurred in the United Kingdom in 1882, it is stated that the total number of persons returned to the Board of Trade as | having been killed in the working of the which has for sume half a century occupied | the attention of the inhabitants of the adja- even when most skillfully performed the | cent countries, seems in a fair way to be su- rope suffers a great deal, because through | perseded in the minds of certain enthusiasts | untwisting and otherwise dealing with the by a truly magnificent —but, it is to be feared, rope the positions of the wires and strands impractible—scheme which has been devised railways during the year was 1121, and the number of injured 4601. Of the above nwn- ber, 127 persons killed and 1739 injured were passengers ; but of these only 18 were killed and 803 injured in consequence of accidents to or from collisions between trains; the | deaths of the remaining 109 passengers killed and injuries to 936 were due to a variety of other causes, but more especially to a want of caution on the part of the indi- viduals themselves. Of the remainder, 553 to each other are altered, and, therefore, | by M. Vérard de Sainte-Anne, for a railway | killed and 2576 injured were officers or ser- the attachment of the same becomes un- equal. Casting hot metal round the rope has the defect of altering the nature of the material. It is to avoid and remove these defects that the patent-rope attachment bas been designed. It consists principally of a conical shell or thimble provided with a hook, loop, &e., and of toothed wedges, which take up and compress the rope between them, and which automatically fasten the same, the compression of the rope corresponding to the tension. The wedges surround the rope and exert upon it a pressure concentrically, which increases the adhesion and friction, and prevents all dislocation of the threads or wires, so that the whole of the wires equally participate in holding the load. The wedges are provided with teeth on the inside, which indent the body of the rope. No damage or injury to the threads or wires can arise, be- cause in consequence of the resistances elon- giiion cannot take place, and the natural breaking of a rope can only arise after the limit of elasticity has been reached. As, however, the useful resistances—that is to say, the friction, &c., between wedges and rope—have to be greater than the dynamic resistances (resulting from the friction be- tween the back of the wedyes an: the inner surface of the thimble), if a gliding forward of the wedges takes place and the attach ment of the rope be firm, such a construc- tion of the teeth is required as permits the use of conical wedges of such a taper as not to exert an excessive pressure on the rope, and also thimbles of very small sub- stance. And, lastly, the wedges have a greater amount of concinnity than the thim- ble, and the length and thickness of the teeth decrease as they are further from the actual joint, so that the bite upon the rope gradually increases from almost nothing, until, steadily increasing, it reaches its maximum near the end of the rope. The method of fixing is extremely simple. The end of the rope is pushed into the thim ble from the lower part; then on each side of the thimble a wedge is inserted from the top end, and driven in by a few blows with a hammer; the further tightening ther ensues in a self-acting manner as soon as the load is put on the rope. In order to keep the wedges in their proper place, a cotter pin is pushed through a hole at the side of the thimble. When wishing to loosen or detach the rope, a few blows on the loop of the thimble wil! suffice to make the wedges come up. It is claimed that these improved attachments are equally well adapted for metallic or hemp ropes, as well as for flat and round mining ropes, and for tension bars in roof constructions they have proved very efficient. - — — A New and Economical Belting.—A foreign exchange reports that the latest pat- ent in bands used for machinery is one for an invention by which it is claimed the only good belt made of textile fabric can be pro- duced ; it is not affected by change of tem- perature, stretches very little, is thoroughly waterproof, is as durable as leather, and being without the objectionable joints and splicings of a leather belt, it runs st: aighter and truer. The belt is made solely of the best Russian flax, and in price is from 25 to 60 per cent. | cheaper than leather belting. The unusual strengta of the belting results from its being folded somewhat peculiarly, and which also | accounts for i's stretchingso little. It is ren- | dered water-proof by an entirely new process known only to the Rus-ian Government, the | peculiarity of which process gives it a mar- velous grip of the pulley, and, no matter how | long the belt is used, this never leaves it. | The flax belt has been in use in Russia for more than two years and a half, and it has given the greatest satisfaciion. o cg = A Stone Bridge Over the Mississippi. | | minutes in passing over the bridge.

The plan provides for a series of bridges con- structed on varying principles, so as to allow for the passage at certain points of vessels with the tallest masts, while, of course, pre- serving as nearly as possible a level road for the line. The center supports are designed to rest on the Varne and Colbart rocks, the former serving also as a basis for a solid pier surmounted by a hotel. M. Vérard de Sainte- Anne professes to have made the most care- ful soundings, and is convinced that the channel bed affords a firm basis for the nu- merous piers, about 30 in all, necessary to support his main structure. In the absence of fuller details it is impo-sible to say how he proposes to carry out his idea, or at what cost, but the depths and currents have been carefully studied, as we'l as the probable in- terruption of the work by violent storms, while the expense has been estimated on two 8} stems involving the employment of stone- work or meta]. M Vérard estimates that the | mail train would take about an hour and 35 In a letter to Mr. Gladstone on the subject the de- signer states he is convinced that sooner or later England and France will be connected by some such scheme as that he proposes, —A recent dispatch from St. Paul, Minn., | and which be maintains is more feasible than reports the completion of the first and only | the projected tunnel, which has given rise stone bridge built across the Mississippi River. | to so much apprehension.

In addition to the above, the companies have returned 42 per- sons killed and 4367 injured from accidents on their premises which cannot be consid ered as ‘‘ railway accidents,” as they were not connected with the movement of railway vehicles. The total number of passenger journeys, exclusive of journeys by season- ticket holders, was 654,838,295 for the year 1882, or 32,678,295 more than in the previous year. Calculated on these figures, the pro- portions of passengers killed and injured dur- ing the year, from all causes, were, in round numbers, one in 5,156,207 killed, and une in | 377,135 injured. In 1881 the proportions were one ia 5,760,746 killed and one in 335.577 injured The proportions, however, of passengers returned as killed and injured, respectively, in 1882, from causes beyond their own control was one in 36,379,905 killed, and one in 815,489 injured ; while in 1881 the proportion was as Ligh as one in | erto | perfectly familiar with the very accurate issue, we undertook to give the reader some idea of the means which Mr. Emery empioyed in indicating loads or strains of all descriptions with an accuracy hith unknown, Most of our readers are work of the Watertown testing machine. In our last article we gave in a brief man- ner the details of the systems employed and the method of operation. How a system of diaphragms can be applied to the weighing of the work of a testing machine we shall attempt to explain here, and also to show what means the designer has adopted to ob- tain a machine entirely free from back-lash when the specimen breaks. As shown in Fig. 1, it will be seen that the apparatus consists of two parts. The first is the ma- chinery for putting strain upon the speci- men, whether of compression or tension.

One of the features which not only in chemical, but also in large balances, is inherent in Mr. Emery’s system of weighing, is the fact that the motion of the load is so small and the consequent mo- mentum so insignificant, that the beam or pointer can come to rest quickly without a long series of vibrations on each side of the zero. In order to enable the reader to understand the construction of the apparatus, we have had a drawing wade of the base of the ma- chine and framework (Fig. 5), with portions broken away to show the more important features. Bearing in mind that whether the strains be those of tension or compression that is, whether in an upward or downward direction—they must result in compressing the liquid in the pressure support, the reader is prepared to understand the method of operation. The resistance, or the final abutment, is found in the frame F, which is of cast iron and very heavy. This frame the engraving the machine is shown exert- ing a transverse strain on an I-beam. In its essential features this apparatus consists of surrounds the two beams E E, which con stitute the bed and platform of the scale, and Br "] r STITT ieee bse es ped <i pprevteneseesaemerteevtter errr ir SE: — Fig. 2.—Scale Beam and Case.

This Pree ee is ea ees ees ANU Pe HL + HTH ae eT CO., STAMFORD, CONN, cylinder furnishes the power for compression or extension. These screws are attached to a frame in which a pair of beams are placed to furnish the abutments for resisting the power. Whether the strain is tensile or compressive, it results in compressing the | liquid in the hydraulic support between these heams, which constitute alternately the plat- form and bed of the scale. The second part of the apparatus of the weighing mechan- ism comprises a system of levers and a scale beam with suitable weights, and a pressure | column with its diaphragms, to which the pressure exerted in the testing machine is transferred by a suitable tube. The liquid in the support between the beams, being compressed, is forced against the pressure diaphragm of the pressure column. The amount of force exerted here is then between which is placed the hydraulic press- ure support. When the strain takes an up- ward direction these pieces are forced against the upper member of the frame. When the pressure is downward they rest on the lower portion of this frame. They have between them, in the pressure support, a pair of diaphragms inclosing a quantity of fluid, which, by means of the slender tube f, com municates with the pressure column of the weighing apparatus. These pieces E E are surrounded by a yoke, B D © D, in which they are perfectly free and with which they have no rigid connection. The strain of the load is taken by this outside yoke entirely, and through it communicated to the abutment pieces E E. These two pieces, with the diaphragm between them and its inclos- ing rings, are finished to such a thickness that they just fill the space between the two members of the frame to within, say, yoy inch. Thisis the maximum amvunt of motion which is permitted. Having this arrangement of yoke and abutment pieces, it becomes necessary to hold it in position and prevent it from any lateral motion, and at the same time allow it perfect freedom in a vertical direction. This is accomplished by a most ingenious modifica- tion of the flexible plate or metal fulcrums. For example, the upper beam E is he'd and supported in position and prevented from side motion by the thin bars 6 6. The vertical motion is so small that the elas- ticity of these spring bars b 6 allows it to rise and fall with practically no friction. Similar flexible bars ¢ ¢, support and fix in position the lower scale beam E against horizontal motion and allow freedom of motion vertically. The yoke is in like manner firmly fixed against horizontal mo- tion at its top and bottom by four pairs of spring plates, two of which, a a anda’ a’, at the top, are attached at right angles to evch other to the upper beam A B of the yoke and to the frame F, while the other two pairs at the bottom eeande e’, also at right angles to each other, are fixed to the lower beam C of the yoke, and to the frame F. They allow perfect freedom in a vertical direction, while compelling the whole moy- able portion to work in a vertical line A beam, 4, is bolted to the bottom beam C of the yoke, and has its two ends extended between two psirs of initia! load springs marked d d. The yoke B C DD and its contained scale beams E E bing suspended in the air by the six paus of fixing sprit gs, as before meutioned, is now carried firmly against the beam E E by the full pressure of the load springs d d by means of two pairs of screws not here shown, one pair of screws acting to apply the lo»d of these springs dd in an upward direction, and the other in a down- ward direction. When these springs sre made to bear upward against G, the yoke is resting against the lower scale beam E transmitting the load of the springs d d through the pressure support to the upper beam E, which now becomes the bed of the scale, with its outer resting against the frame F at the top, while the lower beam E acts as a free platform, and the scale is then balanced ready for use with strains of tension. If strains of compre: sion or transverse loads are desired, the load spriogs ¢d d are made to act dowuward on the beam G, the upper beam E now acting as the free platform, and the lower beam |} as the bed of the scale.
