Sea Po Single- ‘Stand Steam Hammer. ' through which the feed-water circulates on | being 1,781,443 tons, while last year it had however, remain to be adjusted. The ex- | doors in the center opening on slides just he sonnel illustration represents a 3-ton ingle-stand steam hammer recently turned mt by an Enghsh firm, Messrs, Thwaites | os., of Bradford. [he Mechanical World, from which we take the engraving, in the course of its de- scription remarks that the use of double- standard hammers, though very necessary or work of an excessive weight and for 1ammers of extraordinary dimensions, has »xtended, in the opinion of many engineers und forge makers, too far down the scale of sizes, for there can be no doubt that the gle-standard hammer is specially suitable ai convenient for use in certain classes of work, and that it can be substantially and satisfactorily constructed in sizes very con- siderably larger than has hitherto been the vase. Messrs. Thwaites have given to this | tool a great amount of attention, and have materially improved it in both durability and efficiency for the description of work to | which it is suited—namely, marine shafts and large forgings. The frame is of cont | iron ; if desired, may be mace with stand- rds of wrought iron. The motion work is | if the best Low Moor iron, suitably case- hardened in the joints, which are fitted with steel pins, and all working parts are ma- chined to accurate fits, the valve motion hav- ing received special attention. The cylinder is | 28 inches in diameter, the stroke being 5 | feet, and is firmly bolted to the standard by turned bolts, the ho'es being reamed true when in position. The box section has, of course, been adopted for the standard to secure rigidity and firmness, and has an av- erage thickness of 3 '4 inches. The piston- rod, which is 14 ‘nches in diameter, is planed with two longitudinal flats upon it, which, being fitted accurately in the gland of the stuffing-box, serve to prevent rotation while in action. The tendency of a hammer tup to rotate | is not excessive, and, with stout piston-rods, planed flats are considered superior to the method of guiding the tup which is essen tial in the case of thin piston-ruds. The use of the thick rod, dispensing with the slide guides, gives greater accommodation for the work on the anvil at the standard side. With guides to the tup head this space is not available. The rod, as well as the piston and the hammer head, are forged in one solid piece, the base of the cylinder and the stuffing gland being in halves and bolted strongly together to admit of this solid forg ing being placed in position, as seen in our illustration. of steel, of specially selected tough mixture for durability. The valve is of the piston type, perfectly in equilibrium, and fitted with | four ring: of steel to insure steam-tightness, and tue stop-valve, circular in form, is of gun metal, the seat also being of the same material. The steam-ways in the seat con- sist of a number of small holes, this being | lone to insure easy control in opening and closing the valve. Both the stop-valve and | the working-valve are conveniently ane | in the same chest, the working-valve being controlled by hand-levers, which are carried | down to near the ground at the back of the standard, and the stop-v by the hand-wheel screw and levers visible | above the working handle on the standard side. Such a hammer as we have described requires a good anvil, and this consists of a hard face of best st2el dovetailed into the | anvil top, which is also of steel, but of a | mild quality, and is in turn secured by bolts to the anvil block proper, a casting 24 tons in weight, bedded carefully on a substructure f heavy logs, 13 x 13 inches, of a depth of | 2 feet 2 inches, laid on stone 1 foot 6 inches thick and bedded on concrete, which is car- ried down to a solid substratum in the most spproved manner, the hammer standard | being bolted by eight 2%-inch bolts to a strong, firm foundation of two layers of tim- wr 12 inches square, seated on dressed ash- ir stone 3 feet thick, fixed on an indepen- | lent concrete bed. —=EE_ _ M. Errington de la Croix has calculated | the velocity of propagation of the tidal wave | aused by the volcanic eruption of Kraka- oa. The final moment of the explosion was about 12 minutes to noon, when a gigantic vave was formed in the Straits of Sunda. But the same day, at 1.30 p. m., a tidal | vave was felt on the coasts of Ceylon, nota- | ly at Point de Galle. Assuming that this | was the same disturbance propagated across he 1800 miles of sea dividing Point de | ialle from Sunda, M. de la Croix calculates | ‘he velocity of propagation to be some 1200 | niles per hour, or 1804 feet per second. | further data from the Island of ‘Mauritius | affords a check on this result. Here the dis- | tance is 3300 miles from Sunda, and the tidal ebb was felt at 2.15 p.m. Hence the speed per second works out as before—1804q feet. A feed-water heater of novel construction for boilers may be briefly described as fol- lows: It consists of a strong cylindrical vessel having an inlet-pipe at one end and an | sutlet-pipe on the other. The in!et-pipe con- nects with steam exhaust'of engine. Within the cylinder is a worm extending nearly from | snd to end. The inlet and outlet of this worm are preferably at the same end of the cylinder, | the former leading to the feed pump and the atter to the boiler. A smaller hollow sheet- metal vessel is suspended centrally within the worm. The exhaust steam from the en- gine, entering ‘the cylinder, flows through | the same in contact with the coil of pipe The pallet or hammer face is | ve being worked | its way to the boiler, thus heating the water toa high temperature. ‘The steam, having performed its work, finds its way out, consid- erably condensed, of course, through the outlet provided for that purpose. The effect of the interior suspended ve-sel is to cause the hot steam to impinge with more force than would be the case if it were omitted. This feed-water heater has been patented by R. Tarrant, of Chicago, Ill. = te ace Restricting Iron Production in i England. | A renewed attempt to carry out the prin- | ciple of restricting the output in the North of England iron trade, says the | | | | } | THREE.T¢ T Times, is being attempted by the pig-iron produc ers of the Cleveland district. The immediate cause of such action being taken is the very low price to which pig iron has declined. A continuous fall in prices oc- curred last year, a reduction of rates to the extent of 7/ per ton taking place. Since the present year commenced a still further reduction took place, and a few days since | Cleveland No. 3 had touched 35/6 per ton, with prospects of a further decline. It was |under these circumstances that the Cleve-| land ironmasters began to draw together with the view of strengthening the prices of iron and improving their position, as in most cases no margin of profit, or scarcely any, was left to the producer, while in cases where firms were not well placed—either | geographically, as regards access to the sea- | board, or in contiguity to the raw materials of ironstone and coke—a positive loss was in- curred. The low prices of pig iron which have | existed for the last few weeks were never | depressed and stringent paralleled in the history of the trade, except for a few months in the year 1879, since which time the output has increased by close upon 1,000,000 tons, the production in 1879 London | did not unanimity among the blast-furnace owners, risen to 2,760,740 tons. Concurrently with a reduction of prices of Cleveland iron last year there was a diminution of stocks, and the end of the year found the stock in the district 253,105 tons, 13,000 tons less than at the end of 1882, while, as compared with the previous year, 1881, there was a reduction of 125,000 tons. It cannot, therefore, be said that the trade is overweighted with stocks | of iron, there being less in hand, in point of fact, that for the previous six years. That | prices should have continued to decline at a time when stocks were in process of reduc- tion is contrary to general experience, and seems somewhat anomalous. The chief fac- tor in bringing about such a result was probably the persistent decline of Scotch iron | over a considerable portion of last year, STAND IN SINGLE STEAM HWAITTS BROTHERS, BRADFORD, while there was added during the autumn and continued the influence of a probable large decline of | effect in raising periment, if carried out, will be watched with much interest. Whether it will achieve the object proposed — viz., to give a better return by raising prices in a declining condition of trade—is cer tainly open to some doubt. There is also the consideration that should the scheme succeed in this respect there is the possibil ity—indeed, the probability—of limiting the sale in distant markets both at home and abroad. In round numbers, 1,000,000 tons of Cleveland crude iron of all classes were shipped last year to foreign and coastwise ports. If Cleveland prices are raised by the measures proposed disproportionately to those of other districts, this large outside requirement must inevitably fell off. That the limited restriction undertaken in 1881, HAMMER ENGLAND, | recently di down to last year, had some wrices for a time there the shipbuilding trade, which absorbs sv much | seems to be no doubt, but the conditions of of the iron made in the North of England. | the two periods are very diverse.

Trains will not be made up, and each ear, like an ordinary horse car, will be run by itself, connection between the car trucks and the moving cable being effected by a special gripping attachment of Mr. Wing’s design. Just what the special advantages, with perhaps one or two exceptions, of such a system of elevated road would be, it is difficult to conjecture, while its readily ap parent drawbacks would perhaps be suffi- cient to prevent successful practical working a Introduction of Electricity in Lighthouses, Sir James Douglass and several other sci entific gentlemen, says the Knglish Mechanics, are about to institute a series of electrical experiments on behalf of the Trinity Board with their existing electric-lighting machin ery and an enormous De Méritens machine, at the two lighthouses near Dover. Dynamo machines do not appear to rank as the best generators for lighthouses, as Holmes’s mag netic induction machines have held their own at this important lighthouse, and, among the trials about to take place, a De Méritens large-size magneto generator will be in | stalled, which 1s expected to yield magnificent results. These machines of De Méritens will soon occupy all the lighthouses on the French coast, and it is a wonder these generators have been so little adopted in this country Count du Moncel, in his trans!ated little work, speaks of their high power as com pared with the small force required to drive them. In this machine alternate currents are produced, and the whole of the armature current is utilized during its entire or part revolution. This form of armature also re quires but little horse-power, on account ot the peculiar arrangement of the circular | magnetic field it rotates ic, on a smaller |scale, as in the factory machines, which yield about 1200 candle-power at about 750 per minute, and absorb only 1% horse power. The small machines contain about 3 ewt. of steel-inducing magnets, with their poles placed alternately N. and S., which | operate upon 16 annular magnets forming a ring tire armature, which are arranged on the periphery of a brass wheel. Each an nular magret contains about 1% pounds of wire, and the iron core is built up of pieces of iron, instead of being solid cast- | ings, which hightens the induction effects, and | also prevents the formation of injurious Fou- cault currents. Two brilliant electric lights | have hitherto been visible for many miles at sea from the South Foreland Lighthouse, but | the experimental installation soon to take | place will eclipse the light at present emitted | from the two lanterns on the tower. It was from these lighthouses Professor Tyndall car | ned out his famous experiments on sound by }a fog siren driven by the engines of the | lighting machinery. — | | A Large Machine Tool. The San Francisco Tool Company, in con | junction with the Union Lron Works, of that |} city, are constructing what will no doubt be | the largest machine tool of its class in this ;}country. It isa machine for turning, plan ing and boring, and when completed is to |} weigh 120 tons. The reciprocating tools | will traverse a plane, 8 x 25 feet, with both vertical and horizontal action. The revolv ing table is 25 feet diameter, with 36 chanye of speed, and will mount work 30 feet in |diameter. All bormg, planing and turning | appliances operate at dngles with automatic | feed operated by hydraulic power. In respect to its varied functions and the complexity is little doubt that this machine will, when completed, constitute one of the boldest ventures ever made in tool practice The design was prepared by Mr. J. Rich ards, of the Tool Company, instructed by Mr Dickie, of the Union lron Works Company who has in this, as in many other things | ventured far beyond the usual lines of engi For those who may be curious to know the purpose of so largea machine of its kind, it may be explained that the Union Llron Works Company have made a grooved rope pulley that would have required nearly the whole capac ity of the machine described, and that th new plant of the company will include the heaviest tools in use in this country A hydraulic flanging and shearing ma chine of 100 tons has just been moved into position. The whole works are underlaid with a hydraulic system, hydraulic being employed for various purposes, even to opening the vast doors of the erecting and boiler shops. In this connection it may be mentioned that Mr. Dickie has discarded the traditional cup-leathers in the hydraulic machinery, employing irstead fibrous pac ing. The works, when completed, will cover 26 acres of ground, and the Pacific coast can boast of one of the most complete, if not the Jarzest, works of the kind on this Continent neering practice pow el a We notice that the American Society of Civil Engineers has honored Mr. Wm.
