The changes are effected by a screw on the pulley shaft, the boss of the hand-wheel being cut as a umt internally and split, and provided on its outer diameter with a split grip for locking. By mov- ing this hand-wheel the pinions can be brought in and out of gear with their respective wheels and locked in position on the shaft. These wheels give motion toa strong back-shaft hav- ing a key-bed and sliding pinion carried in a bracket at the back of the traveling- head or saddle. This bracket and saddle are all one cast- ing. The pinion works into a powerful spur-wheel keyed fast on the main crank- shaft also carried in a bear- ing at back of saddle. The saddle or traveling-head weighs 3 tons, and has car red from it at the back, ind hanging downward, vo strong brackets for the support of the main gear. Ibe crank is variable, and the sliding block is moved in the crank plate by a rack and pinion and is fastened in the desired place by two ck nuts. This crank ac tuates a cast-steel link and mnecting-rod, and gives a ick return stroke, the nnecting-rod being inside the ram, thus giving a entral thrust. The saddle s self-acting either way along the bed by a slotted connecting-rod catch ind cast-steel wheels, the ew being locked and tationary, the nut—having 4 pur-wheel on a friction e—turning in a bearing on the saddle under- neath, and thus moving the saddle.

Prof. Alexander B. W. Kennedy has |placed before the British Institution of Mechanical Engineers an abstract of the results of the Research Committee on Riv- |eted Joints. There can be no question of the value of a series of experiments of this character, covering in all 290—64 on per- forated (punched and drilled) plates, 97 on actual joints, 44 on the tenacity of the plates ased in the joints, 33 on the tenacity and shearing resistance of the rivet steel used in the joints, and the rest on various other matters connected with them. The whole of the experiments were made upon soft steel supplied from the Landore Siemens Steel Works, which was found to have a tenacity of from 28 to 30 tons per square inch, with an extension of 23 to 25 per cent. in a length of 10 inches. The limit of elas- ticity of the metal was generally about 60 per cent. of its ultimate resistance, and the | percentage of carbon in the plates was WILLIAMS, ?

The | value of machine as compared with hand riveting, in the- case when sound hand- riveting is possible, lies in the increased security and stiffness it gives at ordinary working loads rather than in any actual raising of the breaking load. | The experiments point to very simple rules for proportioning joints of maximum strength. the rivet of 43 tons per square inch, and an excess tenacity of the plate of 10 per cent. rivet-hole should be 2% times the thickness of the plate, and the pitch of the rivets 23 times the diameter of the holes, for single- riveted joints, while for double riveted lap joints with the same ratio of diameter to thickness the ratio of pitch to diameter should be from 3.64 to 3.82. joint will not be of uniform, and therefore not of maximum, strength ; but with any other size of rivet the best result will be eb tained by using a pitch calculated from the following formula : d p=4,; +d, where p is the pitch, d the diameter of the hole, and ¢ the thickness of the plate, while the mean value of the constant a is .56. By use of this formula for double- riveted lap joints it is likely that the pre- scribed size of the rivet may be incon- veniently large in practice. In this case the diameter of the rivet should be taken as large as possible, and the above formula will give the pitch by making the constant a 1.15 inthe mean. For double-riveted butt joints of maximum strength the diameter |of the rivet hole should be 1,8 times the Entered 29, 1885. conclusions drawn from these experiments are the fol rivet tensile resistance per square inch than the same tenacity The | shearing resistance of -rivet steel is a much | more variable quantity than the tenacity of steel plate or of the rivet steel itself—a result some manner to the want of attention directed to this point, or of experiments specially upon it.

Juhle mixes six parts |of good plaster with one part of rich lime recently slaked and finely sifted. This mix | ture is to be used like ordinary plaster, and |the object made from it when it is very dry | is caused to imbibe a solution of a sulphate which has a base precipitable by lime, and | this precipitate insoluble. Such are the sul phates of zinc or iron. The thbory of the process is as follows: The lime contained in the pores of the plaster decomposes the sulphate, with production of two insoluble bodies, to wit, sulphate of lime and oxide, which fill the pores of the object submitted to the treatment in question. With sul phate of zinc the object keeps of a white color, but with sulphate of iron the object, at first greenish, takes on drying and with lapse of time the color of the sesquiox ide of iron. With sulphate of iron the hard est surfaces are obtained, the resistance of rupture being 20 times greater than with ordinary plaster. To obtain the maximum hardness aud tenacity it is necessary that the object should first be very dry and steeped in a solution which is practically saturated. The first immersion of the object in the solution ought not to last over two hours, as a too-long immersion at first is apt to render the surface friable. On drying the plaster object afresh after the first im- mersion there is no further fear of its be coming friable. If the proportion of slaked lime is too great the surface is apt to take a very hard marble-like skin, which prevents the hardening of the inner portions of the object. The proportion of 1 of lime to 6 of plaster, as stated above, has given the best results. Plaques made in this way can be rosion before the boiler would be unfit use at its proper steam pressure, and to add correspondingly to the plate area. In this case the joint should be proportioned not for the actual thickness of the plate, but for a nominal thickness less than the actual by The joint will thus be approximately one of uniform strength by the time it has reached its final workable condition, up to which time the joint, as ¢ whole, will not really have been weakened, the corrosion only gradually bringing the strength of the plates down to that of the A New Process for Hardening Plaster A new process for rendering plaster very hard and capable-of being substituted for wood in flooring has been brought out by Plaster has this advantage over ented a charge of metal at the end of the blowing operation carbon, as distinguished from the ordinary method, whereby the entire charge of pig metal is first completely decarburized, and the carbon is added after the blow is finished.

Dr. Percy, in his address from the chair the last meeting of the British Iron and Steel Institute, refers in the following man- [ner to the mooted question of crystalline structure in iron So recently as February last it was an inounced that Mr. John Collet, State Geolo gist of Indiana, had found that the malleable bar iron used in the construction of several railway bridges in America, and which, it is asserted, was of the best quality, had aquired a crystalline structure, and in some places to such an extent as tothreaten disaster at any time. This alleged change of structure was attributed to the continued and repeated vi- bration caused by the passage of heavy trains. It is an old and still prevalent opinion among engineers that malleable iron may by long exposure to vibratory or concussive action, as, for example, under such conditions as [ have just mentioned, ac- quire what it did not pre- viously possess, namely, a crystalline structure. Now, I venture to question the correctness of that opinion. There may conclusive evidence in support of it; but, if so, it has escaped my attention, though I have long been in quest of it. What has been demon- strated is that malleable iron by exposure to vibra- tory or concussive action becomes harder and more easily frangible, so that a blow which, before such exposure, would not break a bar of iron, might easily break it afterward. But, when even the most fibrous iron is broken with extreme rapidity, as it may be by the impact of a cannon shot, and as I have often seen, its fracture is always crystailine, and as dis- tinctly and largely so as that of similar iron broken by a sledge hammer after having been subjected to the necessary degree of vibratory or concussive ac- tion. It may possibly be suggested that a crystalline structure may be instanta- neously developed in the one case as well as slowly in the other, just as a supersaturated solution of sulphate of soda may be instantaneously changed into a crystalline mass by a touch, and an ordinary hot, saturated solution of the same salt gradually changed into a crystalline mass by slow cooling. It at be should, hewever, be ob served that the crystals formed under these two conditions differ widely in character from each other. W hen rapidly produced they are small and confused, and, in the opposite case, | large and well defined. But this, so far as my experience goes, does not occur when iron is fractured instantaneously by a cannon shot, 'and comparatively slowly by a sledge ham mer. bers of the Institute to the alleged develop ment of crystalline -structure in iron, under the conditions previously stated, I entertain the hope that it may be made the subject of further investigation and shown conclusively to be either true or erroneous.
