The melted teel is let into the ingot standing on a truck in front of the furnace. The ruck runs on rails placed in the bottom of a trench which s parallel to the furnaces, ind is carried at once to the ress. The head of the press s brought down on to the iid steel and allowed to rest on it without any press- ire, except its own weight, g put on it, and is locked position. The first eat D the it effect is a shower of sparks, which, as the mold is closed the projection on the ad, last only a few sec ids. The pressure is then very gradually applied from elow, It has been found necessary to commence with the pressure as soon as the ld is closed and the head f the press locked, as the vases are all the more easily riven out of the steel as it smore fluid. The maximum ire is usually arrived it about half an hour, the time depending on the eight of the casting. lhis maximum is gener- uly about 13,000 pounds to the syuareinch, The press- ire varies with the amount t tility required of the the greatest being the greatest and the ist when the least is re- ir When the process ing experimented on es as high as 20 tons quare inch were used, ‘perience has shown it Leyond the pressure of tons no sensible ad is gained, and this venerally adopted for ts of the heaviest in- ich have as yet been During the time of *, gas in large quan- ‘apes from every in the mold, which takes fire and burns itside, The volume teel diminishes in the f the first five min- much as one-sixth to th of the length of t.

It is generally found that it is best to increase the length of the ingot no more than 6 feet at a single operation. The ingot then goes back to the furnace, is reheated, and this opera- tion is continued until the requisite form is arrived at. All the forging being done in this way on a mandrel and in a die, the pieces are forged with remarkable accuracy. | | to move | to accommodate }piece.

The slow penetrating action of the press draws out the crystals and makes them assume the direction of the flow. All shocks, and consequently all tendency for the crystals to assume large faces, are avoided. The small crystals are simply forced to follow the direction which the pressure gives, and to flow continuously without changing their form or their size, their general arrangement only being changed, so that, instead of becoming larger tend to become | smaller and more closely compacted, which New York, Thursday, | fectly sound at the core.

The method of doing the work, and of making all the pieces hollow, has a decided advantage. It is well known that the cen- ter of all large pieces is an element of weak ness, adding nothing to the strength of the but greatly increasing its weight. It is exceedingly doubtful whether by hammer- ing a large ingot can ever be made per Many of the se rious accidents which result from the frac ture of large forgings have been caused by the propagation of these central defects to the outside, when rupture takes place.

Sir Joseph Whit- worth claims that, in addition to these ad vantages, the ductility of the steel is easily brought up 30 per cent. All these effects become the more apparent according as the casting is heavier. The method seems to be the only one for treating very heavy cast- ings. The various Government commis sioners who have examined the method have reported in favor of it, and some of the largest works in Europe are now about to adopt it, as the work done by the press could not be done by the bammer at all.

We have received from the Van Dorn Iron Works, Cleveland, Ohio, a collection of their catalogues showing the different specialties which they manufacture. One is devoted to wrought-iron fences and contains a large jnumber of designs that cannot fail to be of | value to all who have occasion to use such material Another relates to crestings and | terminals rhis, while presenting many stock designs, also shows a_ considerable amount of new work. Over some of the }new designs we notice a legend which can }not fail to meet approval in the mind of }every reputable manufacturer It is in the | following words ‘Tfonest competitors will not copy our designs, but will leave that | to pirates Another pamphlet is devoted to stable fittings and contains a varied as } sortment of goods in this line Still another |} one contains designs of lawn vase f which a large assortment is presented Another is devoted to jail-work and shows various fea | tures of design and construction that are of interest to all who have to do with penal in stitutions, the designing of jails, & Still another book is devoted to area, stair and | balcony railings, fire escapes, vault doors, |&ec., and is as —— te in its features as the others already imerated |} new price list and descriptive Foot-«-Power Machinery The W. F. & John Barnes Company, of Rockford, lll , have sent us a ec py of their catalog. e of foot-power machinery. The pamphlet con tains nearly 100 pages and presents numer }ous illustrations of the foot-power special ties manufactured by this company, as well as a large line of hand tools more or less useful in the wood-working trades. The first subject treated in the pamphlet is foot- power machinery for practical use in work shops. <A description is presented of a com plete outfit of foot-power machinery of this kind, which operates with a positive motion always in the right direction, with large economy of power and without dead centers An illustrated description of the foot-power combination is presented, after which some of the special machines to which it is applied are shown. Among the illustrations are cuts of scroll-saws of different sizes and capacities, after which is shown a foot-power former, which is supplemented by illustra tions of the knives with which it is fitted. The work that can be done upon this machine embraces sash rails and various small moldings, including flutes. Three pages are devoted to sectional views in per spective, sh owing the forms produced by the knives used upon this machine. The assort- ment is varied, and shows conclusively the utility of the device. ‘The next machine presented is a combined scroll-saw and cir cular saw, following which is shown a _ bor- ing attachment to be used upon this machine Cutter-heads are also illustrated, for use upon a saw mandrel for a combined machine for cutting grooves, gains, dados, &c. A hand circular rip-saw is likewise shown, made in different sizes and of different ca pacities. An improved foot-power molding machine and hand tenoning machine, sev eral foot-power lathes and foot-power grind ing and polishing machines complete the as sortment of tools of the general class we have been describing.
