Handle Old Iron and Stee! Rails, Scrap Iron &c. Examine and negotiate sales in size, all under one iron roof, and is di- vided by four rows of iron columns. Four of these compartments are 40 x 200 feet, and one is 55 x 200 feet. The iron columns are 16-inches in diameter and 32 feet in hight, being placed at a distance of 18 feet apart. Each row df columns supports two parallel wrought-iron plate girders. These girders carry a hydraulic traveling crane overhead, having a run of 200 feet. One of these cranes has a lift of 35 feet, and the other a lift of 25 feet Capacity of each crane, 60 tons. Among the machines to be used in this de partment isa lathe of very large dimensions ; also a planing machine 60 feet in length. In tke different shops in this building will be 51 hydraulic swinging cranes, varying in ca- pacity from 2% tolotons. The engine-room is directly south of the machine shop. The structure is composed of brick and iron, cov- ering an area of 40 x 8o feet, the roof form ing an iron tank 2 feetin depth, and left un- covered for the purpose of cooling the water from the condensers of the main engine. The engine is a compound condensing, horizontal one, having the O’Neil & Scott cut-off, an initial cylinder 16 inches in diameter and an expansion cylinder 32 inches in diameter. There are also in this building a separate en- gine for electric-light machines, and an air compresser for supplying compressed air to run the hydraulic pumps on the traveling cranes in the different workshops, besides pumps for the accumulator for supplying hy- draulic power throughout the establishment, under a pressure of 1200 pounds to the square inch. The weight on the ram of the accu mulator is composed of a single cube of con crete 10 x 10 x 10 feet, and weighing 7o tons. There are two boilers of the Dickie patent, compound fire and water tube type, inter nally fired. The chimney is brick, octagonal outside, round inside, 6 feet internal diame ter and 120 feet high. Adjoining the machine-shop on the south west corner is a brick building 40 x 85 feet, with an iron roof. It is divided by a brick wall into two parts, comprising a brass foundry and coppersmith shop 50 x 40 feet, together with a tool-room 35 x 40 feet. In this compartment are made all the tools used in the machine-shop. Directly south of the brass foundry is the iron foundry, which is also built of brick, covering a space of 100 x 200 feet. It is iron-roofed and furnished with an overhead hydraulic traveling crane, spanning 50 feet, having a lift of 35 feet, a run of 200 feet and a capacity of 60 tons, On the south side of the foundry are three cupolas, an air furnace and three core ovens, 25 feet square. About So feet east of the foundry is the pattern-shop, which will be among the largest buildings put up. It will be four stories high, and though it is to be placed on a rocky foundation, it has been determined to still further strengthen this support by the addition of concrete, which is now being laid. The building will be 5ex 200 feet in size, divided by brick partition walls into four rooms of 50 x 50 feet each. The three lower ones will contain the gen eral supplies of materials for the works, while the upper one is to be used as a laying-off floor for determinipg the shape and size of ships’ plates. The reMaining portion of the building will be devoted to pattern-making, the running machinery being all on the ground floor, driven by a wire rope from the boiler-shop. The boiler shop is so far advanced that the machinery is being rapidly placed in position. It is expected that everything in this build ing will be in good enough shape by the tst of February to admit of setting men to work. The first contract arranged for is the placing of the boilers into the hull of Peter Dona hue’s new steamer, now building at North Beach. Another building fronts on Napa street, some 60 feet north of the pattern shop. This is likewise a brick structure, 135 x 200 feet, with iron roof. The interior is divided into three spaces by cast-iron col nmns, 16 inches in diameter by 32 feet in hight and 18 feet apart. These columns | also support two parallel w rought-iron plate girders. The girders carry a hydraulic overhead traveling crane, which has a span | of 55 feet, a lift of 35 feet for a load of 50 | tons, and a run of 200 feet over the central |space. The south side of this building con | tains all the running machinery for boiler- |making within a space of 40 x 200 feet. Among the noteworthy machines in this building are a set of hydraulic rolls for roll | ing ship and boiler plates, 14 feet wide: a hydraulic shears capable of shearing plates 14 feet wide and 134 inches thick ; a hydrau lic flanging machine of immense weight and power ; heating furnace for plates ; hydrau lic riveting machine and shears; engine, pumps and accumulator for night work The northern side of the building is de BESSEMER, MILL AND FOUNDRY PIG IRON, SKELP IRON, MUCK AND SCRAP BARS NATIVE | voted wholly to smithwork.
