It is sufficiently well known the lighter material, which is thrown highest, | that manganese has been employed for many We present herewith illustrations of two examples of punching and shearing ma- chinery, built by the Long & Allstatter Com- pany, of Hamilton, Ohio. The first machine, Fig. 1, is a double machine for punching and and shearing, being of the size designated by themas No, 1. The tool-slides in this machine are operated by means of two hammered cam-shafts, having very long beariugs in the frame of the machine, and also having another bearing in the front plate of the main guide. Outside of this front plate the | deoxidizing flame of the furnace, while the | upward in a zig-zag direction. cam-shafts are provided with capstan hubs | lighter particles are conducted off and passed |chamber is provided with the and hand levers, so that the slide may be ) through a series of settling chambers, where | dampers, and with lateral flues by which the I METALLURGICAL NOTES. worked by hand in setting the tools. This outer bearing adds much to the stiffness of the shafts, and the capstan-lever arrange- ment is of great utility in bringing the punch or shear, as the case may be, accurately down to its place against the sheet before the ma- chine is started, The spur gear runs loosely upon the ends of the cam-shafts, and is pro- vided with clutch hubs. It is driven by a counter-shaft having tight and loose pulleys to be driven directly from the main shaft. Each cam-shaft carries a sliding clutch held back by double springs, so that the spur-wheel may run continuously while the shafts are nor- mally at rest. By means of foot treadles, of which there are two, one for each of the machines proper, either cam-shaft can be set in motion and remain so as long as the treadle is pressed upon. Upon removing the foot the shaft instantly stops, but a treadle hook permits the treadle to be locked down, making the shaft run continuously with the foot off the treadle. It will thus be seen that each side of the machine is entirely independ- ent of the other. Both sides may run at once or one side may rest while the other runs. The clutches are steel-faced. When specially ordered this machine, or either side of it, is fitted with automatic stop move- ments, so that after each stroke of the slide the machine stops with the slide at its highest point, thus leaving the tools open for the de- liberate adjustment of the work, after which a new stroke takes place upon pressing the foot treadle, or the strokes continue so long as the treadle is pressed. The working mechanism is very powerful and the framing of great stiffness. The tool- holding devices upon each side of the ma- chine are alike, and either or both sides may be quickly furnished with either punching or shearing tools. In the illustration the ma- chine is shown with one side fitted to shear and the other to punch. The upper shear- block is bolted to heavy flanges upon the foot of the slide, and the lower shear-block is bolted to the bed jaw and adjusted by heavy steel screws The shears may be either splitting or cross-cutting, and the guide for the slide is so arranged as to give great side stiffness to resist the shearing strains. Side wear of the slide is taken u y a gun-metal gib running the whole length of the guide and adjusted by top serews. Solid punches or steel sockets to receive separable ones are held in a socket in the front of the slide, provided with means for vertical adjust- ment, and formed with a removable front which permits the ready removal of punches without disturbing the dies. The dies are adjustable and are secured in a die block bolted to the bed jaws. The stripping ar- rangement consists of a lever forked to strad- die the punch, and pivoted in the throat of the machine. Its rear end reaches clear through the bed of the machine, where it is supported on a pin which can be placed in any one of a vertical series of holes, enabling its ready adjustment for different thicknesses of work. The machines are pro- vided with means for the adjustment of gauges, brake irons and ents for special work. The machine illustrated has a 24-inch throat on one side, and a 10-inch throat on the other side, and illustraies the arrangement of throat de which the makers can embody in a double machine This size of machine can be built with any throat from 10-inch to 48-inch upon either or both sides. The shallow side will work a 1%-inch punch through t-inch metal; will shear 1-inch metal 10 inches from the edge ; will cut off bar iron 1 x 8 inches, and round bars 2 inches in diameter. The deep side will carry a 1-inch punch through 1-inch metal; will shear 1-inch metal 24 inches from edge ; will cut off flat bar 1 x 8 inches, and round bar 1% inches diameter. The machine weighs 18,200 pounds, and is accompanied by a single pair of punching tools and a pair of shearing tools and all necessary wrenches. The second illustration represents a hori- zontal punching machine, embodying the same general principles of motion as that shown in Fig. 1, the horizontal position in- volving, of course, the use of bevel gearing for transmitting to the cam-shaft its power and hand motions. eakiee - form of machine is peculiarly ada) or close corner punching upon ieee work like boiler-heads, bridge angles, &e. The work is in a con- venient ition for handling, and there is practically ne limit to the size which may be operated upon, the machine being unob- structed above the punch level. The tools are located at the very extremity of the throat, The punch is se le and secured in a socket in the face of the slide. The die | is hehd in a wrought-iron holder, heres 9} long tail keyed in the bed-jaw. The mac illustrated, called by the makers size No. 3, has a 6-mch depth of throat, will carry a A-iuch punch through %-inch metal, and HON I} " Hl Mb | Fig. 1.—Double Machine for Punching and Shearing. PUNCHING they are deposited by the action of sprays of | water in the collecting pans. The ore and flame injectors are provided with upwardly- directed discharges, and are arranged oppo- site each other near the bottom of the fur- nace shafts. The icles of ore are conse- quently carried by the draft, and the sulphur oxidized. e patent specification asserts that the decomposition of the steam issued by the hydrocarbon injector increases the heat in the shaft, and the hydrogen gas exerts a specially beneficial influence upon the ore treated. e light oxidized particles of ore are then carried through a cast-metal conducting-pipe from the top of the shaft, downward into the first settling chamber, and thence through the series of remaining settling chambers. The heavier particles are dropped and are thus compelled to pass a second time through the flame, so that the sulphur is fully oxidized. Finally they are Fig. 2.—Horizontal Punching Machine, AND SHEARING MACHINES, BUILT BY THE LONG AND ALLSTATTER CO., spent heat may be conveyed from any one of the heat chainbers directly into the smoke- stack. A series of cementing retorts are | also constructed, each with a di-charge open- | ing, and so arranged that when the deoridiz- ing furnace is located over or near a balling furnace the retorts will discharge their ores directly into the feeding-hopper of the ball- ing furnace. Thus the refuse carbonaceous matter will be carried off by the ascending heat currents as they escape from the open feeding-hopper, while the deoxidized ores fall into the balling furnace. The construction of ore separators of the class in which the lighter is separated from the heavier material by the action of cur- rents of air has been improved by H. P. Fair- field, of West Medford, Mass. The ore falls from the hopper upon an endless apron, to which motion is imparted by two cylindrical rollers, one higher and one lower, The HAMILTON, OHIO. will pass toward the lowerend of the apron, while the heavier material will not be thrown over the riffles, but will gradually accumulate in front of the same and be car- ried forward and eventaally discha: ged over the higher end of the apron. A. R. B. Hiltawski, of Zaborze, Germany, has patented a new form of coking furnace. The object of the invention is to consume all the gases expelled from the coal, so that they cannot escape and poison the surrounding air. The furnace is made with a series of coking chambers for receiving the coal. Between them are arranged gas chambers, into which the gas is passed from the coking chambers. At the bottom of the gas chambers are provided openings leading to transverse channels, intel aeanoes a series of longitud- inal channels below the gas chambers, so arranged that the volatile products will cir- culate until partially condensed, the re- years in the manufacture of steel in various proportions, but anything exceeding 1 per cent. it has been generally believed would render the metal under treatment worthless, and any further addition thereof in excess of this proportion has been considered im- practicable. In fact, Dr. Siemens had stated publicly, on many occasions, that the use of manganese was simply a cloak to coverthe impurities in steel-making ; that it covered a multitude of sins, and this was the general opinion of the steel trade. Messrs. Hadfield, however, engaged in a long series of experiments and tests, with the object of discovering its truth, and after a considerable expenditure of time and capi- tal, discovered that by adding the ordinary ferromanganese of commerce to iron or metal, either wholly or to a great extent de- carbonized and refined, and treated by any of the ordinary processes, or to steel pro- duced by such processes, in increased pro- portions sufficient to obtain or produce in the steel or decarborized iron under treatment a percentage of manganese varying from 7 to 20 per cent., that the most beneficial results could be obtained. Such percentage is reg- ulated according to the purpose for which the steel is required ; for instance, to produce a steel suitable for armor plates and other pur- poses, they add about 10 per cent. of rich ferromanganese, containing, say, 80 per cent. of manganese. For railway purposes they add about 11 per cent., for steel toys and tools about 12 per cent. They pour this ferromanganese into the molten steel under treatment, thoroughly incorporating it there- with, and then run in into ingot or other suitable molds, and allow it to cool, after which it is ready for use, as it requires neither tempering, rolling, forging or harden- ing. This treatment of steel in suitable propor- tions, according to requirements, appears to be novel, and renders the steel so manufac- tured harder, stronger, denser and tougher than most steel now manufactured, even when forged and rolled. This steel may, however, be forged and rolled in the ordinary manner, For casting it has the advantage that it possesses greater freedom from honeycombs and similar defects, but the most peculiar property is its great toughness, combined with extreme hardness. It is through this that the hitherto indispensable processes of rolling, forging, hammering, hardening and tempering may be dispensed with, thus effecting for many articles an enor- mous economy in time, labor and expense. In casting, its fluidity enables fine ae cast- ings to be made without misrunning, and approaching in smoothness iron castings. As far as has been yet observed, it does not, when cast, settle so much, nor does it draw, like ordinary steel castings, at the junction of the thick and thin parts. It would thus appear that steel so manufactured is espe cially adapted for making steel rolls to re- place those of chilled metal, iron, armor plates, the larger edge tools, and articles known in the steel trade as steel toys. Its value for agricultural wearing parts will be at once seen, as these may be cast there from without requiring either forging or tempering, for, like large edge tools, they will be ready for use after grinding. It ap pears that this use of manganese renders the use of silicon to obtain soundness unneces sary.. Among the samples of the steel placed on the table at the meeting of the Mechanical Engineers were a sample test bar contain- ing 12 per cent. manganese, bent double when cold, though hard enough for turning iron; asample from the same ingot, tested by Mr. Vyle, and showing tensile strength of 42 tons per square inch, with 20.85 per cent. elongation; several hammered pieces; a manganese adz, containing 20 per cent. manganese, just as it left the mold; an ax, containing 12 per cent. manganese, just as cast in the rough, had chopped through % inch square iron. This, like the others, had not been hardened or tempered—only the edge ground. There was also a large size (about 114 inches) wood chisel, which had been used in pattern shop 15 months. This was of steel, containing 14 per cent. manganese. A corve wheel which had been tested with 60 heavy blows, and showed a peculiar crystallization. It contained 12 per cent. manganese. None of this steel has | the slightest magnetic capacity ; it is a very | poor conductor of electricity, worse than | Iron wire, yet fine drillings or scrapings from it are attracted by the magnet. We are informed that it does not seem to oxidize easily, though tested by Messrs. Hadfield in sea water. It is said not to tarnish easily, and it is found that heating it to a white heat and quenching in cold water, instead of hardening it, causes it to become softer and tougher. The tested sample mentioned above was heated to a white heat and allowed to cool down on the shop floor, ——_ -- an cas Tian ‘a THE IRON AGE.

Jones, of Cincinnati, Ohio, has patented an improvement in boiler furnaces, its object being to check the too rapid pass- age of the gases through the combustion chamber, and to utilize their heat more thoroughly. The inventor proposes to build in the entrance to the combustion chamber a cluster of refractory pillars. The latter are arranged in zig-zag lines, and are made of hollow diamond-shaped bricks or tile blocks. Sand or other suitable material is placed into the hollow of the pillars to retain the heat. The pillars are built from the floor up to or near the bottom of the boiler, and form tortuous passages which retard the passage of the products of combustion. Becoming themselves heated, they will also give off their own heat to the boiler, and thus serve a double purpose. A foot-power hammer adjustable horizon- tally and vertically in relation to the anvil is the subject of a patent recently issued to J. L. Painter, of Bellevue, Ohio. The ham- mer staff extends loosely through a sleeve, and is supported at its bottom by a lever, which may be locked higher or lower, thus enabling vertical adjustment. A _ second lever swings and locks the hammer horizon- tally, and a third, a foot lever, operates the hammer. All three levers reach to the anvil block and may be conveniently handled by the operator without changing his position. Kitchen utensils, cutlery and similar goods may be polished and cleaned by means of a new metal polisher patented by W. Heard, of Paterson, N. J. It consists essentially of a percolator made of a sheet of cork, and having numerous holes extending from top to bottom. This percolator forms the base of a box into which is placed the polishing ma- terial, consisting of finely-ground brick dust, sand, emery, whiting or other similar mate- rial. As the polisher is moved vigorously backward and forward over the surface to be cleaned, the ground polishing material will gradually be distributed over it through the holes of the percolator. At the same time a scrubbing action takes place that rapidly and effectively cleans the surface without further attention on the part of the user, The supply of cleaning
