Dae medica, siw re £ ne {ron Age INDEX TO READING MATTER PAGE 40 Published every Vol. XXXVI: Weimer’s Water-Cooling Appliances for Blast Furnaces. [The accompanying illustrations present come novelties in blast-furnace construction, lately introduced by the Weimer Machine | which | Works Company, of Lebanon, Pa., consist of applications of water for ’ cooling round the hearths, boshes and tunnel-heads | of blast furnaces. When it is considered | that but a few years ago the walls of the | rucibles of blast furnaces were made from | 3 to § feet in thickness for the purpose of retaining the heat, while the present prac .e is to build thin walls, held in shape by water-cooled appliances, the transition is most noticeable. The twoillustrations show how the erucible and boshes of the furnace are protected by outside buckets, also the methods of preserving the bell by a water space, and of maintaining the hopper, seat- ring and gas- flues intact by coils of pipe | [he lip-ring and also the seat-ring sapport- ing it, are both cooled by means of several | sections of coiled pipe. The bell is of the | ordinary cast-iron form, under which is riv- eted a second smaller bell made of boiler | plate, leaving a space between the two through which water circulates, the water being introduced and removed through the bell-rod, which is made hollow for the pur- - pose. Owing to the rapid driv- ing of blast furnaces, the mainte- nance of the bells, hoppers and lip- rings has become a serious item of expense, and while the water- cooled tunnel-heac fixtures are more expensive than ordinary ones, the manufacturers claim that ‘their increased efficiency will soon repay the extra first cost. Concerning the housings, man- tle and improved jacket around the hearth and boshes, and the SON first attempts they made to cool J the hearths and boshes by water 4 circulation, the manufacturers yj say: “‘ During the year 1871 we By first directed our attention to cool- af ing the hearths and boshes of blast furnaces by means of a water circulation. Our fist effort con- sisted in jacketing the hearth and boshes with boiler plate, and betwren this ca ing | and the brick lining inserting coils of ;-inch pipe through which water was made to cireulate, This arrangement, however, proved defective, but from it were obtained valuable data for future experiment. The next fixture consisted of a wrought-iron plate jacket reaching from the tuyeres downward, placed outside of the brickwork and about 4 inches from it, the intermediate space being filled with gravel through which water was | passed. This arrangement is still exten- sively used, and answers the purpose to a limited extent. Following this latter con- trivenan, we introduced vertical coils of pipe built into the brickwork of the boshes, and | extending from some 3 feet above the tuy eres nearly to the top of the boshes. The coils were placed 8 inches from the inner face of the brickwork of the furnace, and were divided into from six to eight sections, with a rapid flow of water through each. Six furnaces were thus fitted, three of | which proved unsatisfactory, and three very | complete successes. Our -present water- cooled furnace is the result of the above- | mentioned practice, and its introduction three years ago at Chester, N.J., has been followed by its adoption at a number of other furnaces, the proprietors of which all ex- press great satisfaction with the arrange- ment. The water-jaeket of the hearth and boshes is made of a series of wrought-iron buckets, arranged and fastened together, as shown in, Fig. 2, so as to form a double or hollow plate-iron jacket around the hearth and boshes, water circulating through each bucket. It is entirely outside of the furnace, and all are accessible. The water- jacket, being of wrought iron and elastic, yields to expansion, and is less liable to frac- ture and accident than the heavy cast-iron plates with water coils. By substituting housings for the ordinary column free access 's had to all parts of the hearth and boshes ; a better arrangement of circle-blast, water ‘pply and discharge-pipes can be effected ; k s valuable space is occupied, and the use- 2 circle base-plates for columns is dis- ‘nsed with. Rcom is also given for two leries around the exterior of the bosh, atording the attendants access to all por- Lous of the lower part of the furnace requir- attention. The costly and cumbersome “ast-iron mantle is dispensed with by sub- - uting wrought plate iron flanged and veted together, whereby we attain great te isile strength and a better support for the ‘nterior brickwork. The housing also affords & secure fasteni for the water-jacket ‘buckets, and rs all buckstaves and ‘iuders unnecessary.” oe Convict Labor in Illinols.—The Com- ‘\ssioners of the Joliet Penitentiary were in “s810n One day last week for the purpose of *pening bids received for convict labor.

Senator Frye reported favorably to the Senate th» bill introduced by Senator Miller, of New York, to provide for the constructicn of the the Staten Island Suund, known as Arthur Kill or Kill Von Kull, with amendments. As amended, the till authorizes the Staten Island | Rapid Transit Railroad Company to build a bridge across the Sound from a point at or | near Elizaleth, N. J., to the town of North | field, Richmond County, N. Y., and the Staten Island Railway Company to build a | bridge between the city of Perth Amboy, | Middlesex County, N. J., and Westfield, | Rie hmond County, N. Y. It authorizes the }companies named to charge a reasonable | rate of tolls, such rate to be subject to the On the br dyes across | apy oval of the Secretary of War, and to * change by him fr m time to time. It pro- vides that the bridges shall be pivotal diawbridges, each with a draw over the main channel of the river at anaccessible and navigable point, and with spans of not | less than 200 feet in length in the clear on the | sides of the central and pivot pier of the draw, the next adjoining spans to the draw | to be not less than 250 feet, if the proper location of the draw over the channel will | admit of spans of such width between it and the shore ; that the spans shall not be less than 15 feet above low-water mark and not less than 10 feet above extreme high-water mark. It provides that uhe bridges shall be built under and subject to such regulations for the security of navigation of the Sound as the Secretary of War shall prescribe, the plans and specifications ‘or the bridges to be submitted to him and approved by him | before the construction of the bridge is com- menced. EE Broadway Underground Railroad. The Broadway Arcade Railroad bill passed the New York Senate last week by 22 yeas to 8 nays. In the course of the discussion which preceded the vote Senator Daly said that, conceding that the project is scientific- ally feasible, it would be a triumph of me chanical skill over violated rights and the ruin of properties. He claimed that the amount necessary to construct the gigantic | work could never be raised, and charged ' that it would simply confer a valuable fran chise on a company which would hold on to it until they could market it. ‘The damage to property would mount up to millions, yet the company is required to file only a paltry | bond of indemnity. It gives the company control of the lateral streets and destroys the traffic on the most magnificent thoroughfare of the city for an indefinite period. He warned the Republican majority that they would be held to a strict accountability by the people of New York for many of the extravagant bills passed this winter, and if they all become law New York City will have to issue $50,0c0,000 of bonds within the next six years to meet the demands made upon her by these bills * Having | given away all surface franchises,” he said, ** you now propose to give away even the very | foundations of the streets.” | Sena’ or Robb oftered various amendments to the bill, among them one that for the first three years the company shall pay 3 per | cent. on its gross receipts, and after that 5 per cent. perannum. The amendment was lost. An amendment to make the company deposit $1,000,000 with the Comptroller as an | indemnity for damage done to property was also lost. Senator Thomas defended the bill, and contended that the company meant in good faith to build the road ; that the money | was ready to come forth when the bill be came a law, and that ample provision was | made to avoid the interruption of travel on | Broadway. Senator Otis said he had a | large number of amendments to offer to the bill, but, as he saw the sentiment of the Sen- ate was more or less opposed to him, he would withhold them. a Out of the average of 423,472 wheels on the Pennsylvania Railroad, the number cracked during the past three years was at the rate of 2368 per year (0.55 per cent.), and the number of broken 447 (0.105 per cent.), or 0.655 per cent. in all. An average mileage of the wheels removed from Pull man passenger cars was very ne sarly 70,000 ; under ordinary passenger cars, 52,000. The largest average mileage under locomotives Was 429,212, by 30-inch wheels under freight engines ; the shortest was 35,586, by 28-inch wheels under passenger locomotives - et Paper railroad wheels have been experi mentally tried on the State Railways in Ger- many. They are said to have given every satisfaction—indeed, to have exceeded ex pectations. Some of the wheels have run 60,000 miles and more before being turned again, It has been found that the paper disks are at least equal to wooden disks in point of strength and elasticity; that they do not absorb moisture, and that they adapt themselves much better to the movements that take place in tires in consequence of change of temperature, = s - os r SI -_ PS gg i mie . , = * Td 2 THE IRON AGE.

Wood-Working Machinery. Goodell & Waters, of Philadelphia, Pa., have just issued their illustrated catalogue of wood-working machinery for 1884. The catalogue contains over 100 pages, nearly every page of which is illustrated with one or more cuts representing the different wood working machines built by this firm. Goodell & Waters classify the machines which they | make under four heads, as follows : Planers, car, sash and door, and general machinery, these divisions including shafting and all | necessary appliances for the transmission of » | power. They wish to call particular atten | tion to the long list of planers which they turn out, the list being subdivided into pony planers, roll-feed lowering bed, the Wood worth and the endless-bed planing machines. sesides the machinery included in the above | classifications, Goodell & Waters, having the facilities for manufacturing, are prepared to furnish any special tools or a complete plant ; also having recently, after much experi- menting, succeeded in perfecting a system of gauges and templates, they can furnish at short notice duplicate parts of machines which will fit accurately. Among a num ber of improvements recently introduced by this firm is their endless-bed double surfacer, which has been altered and improved, and is now known as the ‘‘ Philadelphia.” An other machine brought before the public last year is the ‘‘ Keystone” floorer, and which is Claimed to be the fastest-feeding machine built. The catalogue, which is excellently gotten up both as regards general arrange ment and detail, contains descriptions of many other machines and appliances of im- proved pattern which will repay careful attention from all users of this class of ma- chinery. The Ottumwa [Iron Works, The Ottumwa Iron Works, of Ottumwa, Iowa, have favored us with their illustrated catalogue and price list of stationary en- gines, mill machinery, &c. This catalogue, comprising some 70 pages, contains cuts and descriptions of all their principal articles of manufacture, which embrace a very large variety of machines and mill supplies, be- sides a number of useful tables for machinsts and others, giving sizes, weights, &c., of various articles. Three different types of stationary steam engines are illustrated, varying from 4 to 125 horse-power, the en- gines above 75 horse-power being made only to order. The firm also turn out double- hoisting engines of from 16 to 150 horse- power, the list including 12 different sizes, besides tubular and flue boilers up to 70 horse-power. As agents for the Cameron direct-acting steam pumps they are prepared to furnish all sizes of these pumps at manu- facturers’ prices. Among a number of special tools which the Ottumwa Iron Works have lately added to their stock is a pulley-turning machine of 36 inches capacity, and a pulley- boring machine of 50 inches capacity. At the end of the catalogue is appended a list of the persons and companies to whom the Ottumwa Iron Works have sold engines and other machinery. Iron Beams, The Pottsville Iron and Steel Company, of Pottsville, Pa., have favored us with their recently published pocket-book, entitled ‘“Useful Information for Architects, En- gineers and Workers in Wrought Iron.” The company manufacture wrought-iron beams, channels, angles and plates, also car axles and shafting. Besides being prepared to execute large specifications, they carry in stock a sufficient quantity of the usual sizes to be able to fill small orders without delay. The first few pages of the pocket-book illus trate in section various shapes of I-beams, channel bars, angle and tee irons, and the tables in connection with the illustrations give the safe loads, deflections, weights, &c., of I-beams of from 4 to 15 inches in depth. There is also a corresponding set of tables referring to channel bars, which cover sizes of from 12 tos inches in depth, with varying widths of flange and thicknesses of web. The remainder of the book is devoted to mis cellaneous tables and rules for use in finding the strength and other properties of iron beams, bars and plates. Besides what re lates more particularly to the products of the Pottsville Iron and Steel Company, the book contains much other matter of general in terest and value to all architects and engineers. Newark Board of Trade, We have received the tenth annual report of the Board of Trade of Newark, N. J., for the year ending March, 1854 The report opens with the president’s address, which gives an account of the uses of the Board of Trade, showing the reasons why the citizens should take an interest in its prosperity, and pointing out the advantages to be derived from its existence ; it further treats of taxa tion, education aud other matters of general interest. Following this address is the re port of the board of directors, and the report of the Committee on Passaic River and Com mercial Interests. The pamphlet concludes with a financial statement, constitution and by-laws of the board and list of members. Will Machinery. We are in receipt of an interesting little catalogue relating to paper-mill and wood pulp machinery, grist and saw mills and a number of other appliances, published by the Sandy Hill Iron and Brass Works, of Sandy Hill, N. Y. In addition to the matter gen erally contai‘ied in publications of this char acter, such as price lists, dimensions, &c., the pamphlet contains some useful informa tion on calculating the speed of gears or pulleys, rules for the computation of roofing slate, and interesting little extracts from different sources relative to the best speeds or mill-stones, tables of weights and meas ures, &c. The works are prepared to do all kinds of repairing for paper, saw, grist and wood-pulp mills, and, as they have for the past 13 years been engaged in manufac turing such machinery, it is safe to assume that their work will be found satisfactory in every respect They have just built a large er x ee — — + ee oo 6 THE IRON AGE.
