AOVERTISEMENTS Published every Thursday Morning by Davip Wriuiams, No. 83 Reade Street, New ¥ Sd V ° No. 2 2, Vol. Modern Brouze Alloys for Engineering Purposes. The following 1s an abstract of a paper read by Mr. Perry F. Nursey, before the British Society of Engineers, at their recent meeting : Bronze pure and simple consists of a mix- ture of copper and tin in certain proportions, These proportions, as we have seen, are varied according to the purpose for which the compound is intended. Other metals, moreover, such as zine, lead, phosphorus, manganese, silicium and iron, may be and have been added without unclassifying the product, which is still called bronze, pro- | vided that copper and tin are the chief con- stituents. The bronzes of France are known to contain nearly always four metals— namely, copper, tin, lead and zinc. It is also stated that some contain minute and variable quantities of nickel, arsenic, anti- mony and sulphur. It is the addition to bronze pure and simple of certain propor- tions of one or other of the metallic sub- | stances previously referred to that consti- | tutes the modern development of bronze | manufacture, and which has given us some | of the most useful, and at the same time some of the most remarkable, alloys known. These comprise no fewer than 11 distinct prod- ucts, all of which find their uses in connec- tion with the practice of engineering. These are : Phosphor-bronze, silicium-bronze, man- | drawing have very different proportions to phosphor-manganese bronze, phosphor-lead ‘those employed for castings, for bearings mixtures, new alloys having very valuable ganese-bronze, delta metal, phosphor-copper, _—__.

There are other bronzes which are used as substi- tutes for gold in cheap imitation jewelry, but, although they are in the main only variations of some of the bronzes with which the author has to deal, their applications are such that their notice does not fall within the scope of the present paper. Attention was directed some years since to the use of phosporus in improving the char- acter of bronze for various purposes, and eventually with very successful results. The action of phosphorus on copper alloys is principally due to its reducing qualities, by virtue of which the oxygen absorbed by the the molten metal is removed, or, rather, the oxides thereby produced are eliminated, and there is imparted to the metal that degree of homogeneity, strength and toughness which is peculiar to the chemically pure metal. The phosphorus, by producing these effects, is converted into cuprous oxide (}), which floats on the surface of the molten metal in the shape of a very fluid slag, while the superfluous quantity combines with the metal. This being the case, it is not desir- able to add to the bronze a larger quantity of phosphorus than will suffice to yelue the oxide present. It is thought by some that the phosphorus itself imparts to the bronze the qualities of hardness and strength, and that therefore the more phosphorus put into the metal the better the result as regards hardness. This, however, is not the case, inasmuch as hardness would be obtained at the expense of toughness. The question of producing the various qualities of this class of metal depends not so much upon the quantity of phosphorus ae upon the correct proportioning of the various ingredients, phosphorus included.

PHOSPHOR-BRONZE. The first of the modern bronzes for notice in the order of time is phosphor-bronze, which was invented by Dr. Kiinzel, of Biase- witz, Dresden, and was brought into practi- cal use in this country early in 1873 by the Phosphor-Bronze Company, who have from time to time patented several improvements both as regards alloys and methods of manu- facture. Phosphor-bronze alloys are com- posed of copper, tin, phosphorus, and other ingredients in definite proportions, and are made to be either as ductile as copper, as tough asiron or as hard as steel, accordingly as the proportions of the constituents are varied. The alloys used for rolling and I MACHINERY EMPLOYED FOR MEASURING THE FRICTION OF LUBRICATING and parts of machinery. The castings of | the metal, owing to its great fluidity when melted, are perfectly sound and homoge- neous. Wherever strength, toughness and durability are desiderata, phosphor-bronze is found to be far better adapted than gun- metal and brass, and in many cases than iron and steel. With regard to the a tions of phosphor-bronze, it may truly be | said that their name is legion. This remark | applies in the main to most of the modern bronze alloys presently to be described, so that, in order to save repetition, the author will here observe that chief among their many applications are the manufacture of wire, rods, tubes, sheets, ornamental cast- ings, screw propellers, pinions, cylinders, valves, bearings, bushes and other parts of machinery exposed to friction. Phosphor-bronze possesses the advantage of not becoming crystalline under the action of repeated shocks and bends, and is therefore well adapted for making wire rope, and as it is not acted on by corrosive liquids, as found in mines, or by the atmosphere, its value as a metal remains constant. It is being used in the shape of sheets for the hulls of torpedo boats and steam launches with satisfactory results. In order to ascer- tain its resistance to the chemical action of dilute sulphuric acid, two similar sheets of copper and of phosphor-bronze were im mersed in acid water, 10° Beaumé strength, and at the temperature of the surrounding atmosphere; after three months it was found that the copper had lost 4.15 per cent. and the phospher-bronze only 2.3 per cent. Phosphor-bronze sheet, moreover, stands the action of sea water much better than copper. ln a comparative experiment made at Black- enberge, lasting over a period of six months, | of blacklead and water. Small work is cast |green. In order to avoid segregation it is necessary to pour phosphor-bronze alloys only just before the setting takes place. This is accomplished by cooling the molten metal | by putting in ingots or runners, and, when the metal no longer melts these, but adheres | to them, itis a sign that the pouring should | take place. Previously to pouring, the mol- ten mass is well stirred by means of an iron |rod covered with a paste of either fire-clay | or plumbago. Besides the original phosphor- | bronze with which the author has dealt so far, the Phosphor-Bronze Company a year or two ago brought out two other varieties. These were the outcome of an endeavor on the part of the company to meet as far as practicable the various requirements of en- gineers and millwrights, particularly in con- nection with parts of machinery exposed to combined friction and pressure. By slightly changing the proportions of the component parts of some of the ordinary CO rere TMT yt particularly the oxides, though doubtless some of the flux remained. Phosphorus had a most injurious influence on the electrical resistance of the alloy. Silicium was far su- perior ; hence the silicium-bronze was prefer- | able for telegraphic purposes. Its efficiency | Was very great; in fact, phosphor-bronuze had disappeared for telegraph wire and had been replaced by silicium-bronze. It is im- portant to note that the properties of this alloy are such that, although the wires are | only one-tenth as heavy as the ordinary wires, | they are of equal strength. Moreover, it is affirmed that, if broken, they will not fall to | the ground, as the ordinary wires do, but by reason of their high elasticity they will | spring back and coil up close to the standards. The author should mention that M. Weiller has associated himself with the Phosphor Bronze Company, who are manufacturing silicium-bronze wire, which, the author is informed, has come largely into use for over- eo. M. Weiller thus obtains a wire ead telephone lines, and proves a satisfac- Yy Uy Wyld Y Wilda et y} [ A ‘ of OILS, York.

Measurements of Friction of Lubricat- ing Oils.* At the meeting of this society, held in November, 1880, the writer presented a paper under this same title,+ giving the com- parative results of some measurements of friction upon a variety of lubricating oils, submitted to a somewhat narrow range of conditions. On this occasion it is proposed to treat the subject from a different, but per- haps equally practical, point of view, and limit the subject to the examination of a single lubricant under a wide range of in- vestigation. In the course of some work on this subject for the Factory Mutual [nsurance Companies it became a matcer of impor- tance to know the coefficient of friction of a lubricant at a series of temperatures and pressures. These measurements were made upon another machine designed by the writer, similar in principle, but differ- ing from the one used in the previous ex- periments in its general construction. The earlier machine was made for the specific purpose of testing spindle oils, and fulfilled conditions of high speeds and light pressures in a satisfactory manner, but was unsuited for work with heavy pressures upon the standard bearing where the friction was measured. A standard brand of mineral oil, free from admixture of any animal oil, was selected for these experiments, because previous experience had shown that it was more uniform, than any other lubricating Fig. 3.—Front Elevation and Section. and distinct characteristics have been pro- | tory substitute for the cumbrous iron wire. | oil, and duplicate samples could be obtained duced, and which have been practically |The following table shows the relative | when desired. strength, resistance and conductivity of| pan. tried and proved. These new alloys are known as phosphor-bronze duro A, and phosphor-bronze duro B_ Duro A is a very dense metal, adapted for all bearings car- rying heavy wheels running at great veloci- ties, and generally for all quick-speed pur- poses. Duro B is intended for the bearings of hot-neck rolls, and for all bearings having to withstand great pressure, such as plate and sheet roll bearings, and for general gine cep fo 2 Se oF SILICIUM-BRONZE. We come in the next place to silicium- bronze, which in some respects may be con- sidered as an outcome of phosphor-bronze, although its invention is not due to Dr. Kiinzel, who died some years ago. The in- ventor is M Lazare Weiller, of Angouléme, who exhibited phosphor-bronze telegraphic and telephonic conductwrs at the Paris Elec- trical Exhibition of 1881, where the author first saw them, and where they were novel- ties. M. Weiller carried out an exhaustive series of experimeuts with this wire, the results of which went to show that it pos- sessed a conductivity one-third that of cop- per, but two and-a-half times that of iron and steel. Phosphor-bronze wires, there- fore, proved very useful for telephonic com- munication, but not for telegraphic purposes, where higher conductivity is required. M. Weiller, therefore, set himself the task of discovering a material analugous to phos- phor-bronze, and his labors were at length crowned with success by the discovery of silicium-bronze. In this alloy the phosphorus is replaced by a silicious metalloid which produces a better conductor than does phos- presenting the same resistance to rupture as various wires : a6 |. |4 ~ : > | us E 5.

The sums received by manufacturers since 1879 are given as follows: 1880, 2,929,051 roubles; 1881, 2,039,515; 1882, 1,034,787; 1883, 748,487, while for 1884 | the amount is estimated at 1,950,000. On rails completely manufactured in Russia be- fore May 14, 1855, the Government offer a premium of 35 copecks per poud (about % cent per pound). Ono rails manufactured only in pact in Russia 20 copecks per poud are offered until May 14, and 15 copecks after that date.

In an action to recover damages for the coversion of some mining stock, the only proofs to show the value of the stock were the published reports of sales of mining stocks in the San Francisco Stock Exchange Board. The defendant objected to the ad mission of these reports as evidence of price of the stock, and his objection was sustained. The plaintiff recovered only nominal dam ages and he carried the case—Vogt rs. Cope—to the Supreme Court of California, where the judgment was affirmed. Judge Ross, in the opinion, said: ‘‘There was nothing to show, or tending to show, how or in what manner, the ‘ reports of sales’ were made up; where the information they con tained was obtained, or whether the quota- tions of prices made were derived from actual sales or otherwise. In the absence of some such proof, the ‘reports of sales’ offered by the plaintiff were incompetent. It would have been a very simple matter to have the value of the stock, but, simple as it was, the proof was not given.” FIRE INSURANCE—SUIT TO BE BROUGHT IN I2 MONTHS—PROOFS OF LOSS. A fire policy provided: ‘‘ Payment of losses shall be due in 60 days after the proofs required by this company shall have been received at their office,’ &c, * * * ** No suit or action of any kind against this company, for the recovery of any claim by virtue of this policy, shall be sustainable in any court, unless such suit or action shall be commenced against this company within the term of 12 months next after any loss or damage shall occur.” The fire occurred on September 14, 1881, and the proofs of loss were duly filed. The action was brought on November 11, 1882. The defense was set up that the action was barred by the limitation of the policy, but the plaintiff claimed that the year did not expire before November 14, 1882, as he had 60 days in which to prove his loss. The trial court ruled in favor of the company, and the case—Chambers vs. Atlas Insurance Company—was taken to the Su- preme Court of Errors of Connecticut, where the judgment below was sustained. Judge Pardee, in the opinion, said: ‘‘ The limita- tion is lawful and reasonable. In words in common use and of plain meaning, an event is referred to as a starting point—that is, the destruction of or injury to the plaintiff's property by fire. The contract keeps the day upon which a fire shall occur entirely distinct from the day upon which the right to sue for indemnity accrues ; each is stated in plain and appropriate language.”’ PARTNERSHIP—TAXATION—SUING ONE PART- NER. A county treasurer sued one member of a firm for the taxes due on the partnership property, and the defens
