Caleulating Machines. Calculating machines are of two kinds— the automatic and the semi-automatic. The former, though capable of producing as- tounding results, are exceedingly expensive, and have never had an extended applica- tion. The latter have been known in one form or another for many years, and are employed by actuaries, insurance companies, electricians and many others who have long and tedious arithmetical calculations to work out. They are all based upon the use of the ‘stepped reckoner” invented by the Earl of Stanhope between the years 1775 and 1780. This device is illustrated on this page, and, as it forms the foundation of all those machines, it is worth while to describe it at some length, as when its action is un- derstood the details of any form of arithmom- eter may be comprehended at a glance. For the engravings and the following particulars we are indebted to Mngineering. The essen- tial part isa cylinder having formed upon it a segmental wheel of nine teeth. These teeth embrace together about one-third of the periphery of the cylinder, and no two of them of the same length. The variation proceeds by regular increments the lengths of the teeth in the specimen from which the en- gravipg was prepared being, for the first, .15 4nch ; for the second, .3 inch; for the third, .45 inch; for the fourth, .6 inch ; for the fifth, .75 inch, and so on. These teeth gear into a pinion on a second shaft parallel to the axis of the cylinder. This pinion has 10 teeth, and is about ¥, inch wide. It is fixed on its shaft by a feather key, and is capable of being slidden length- wise of the cylinder, so that it may be placed opposite the longest or the shortest teeth, or in any position intermediate between the two. When it is opposite the free end of the longest tooth it is evident that the rota- tion of the cylinder or stepped reckoner will rotate the pinion through one tooth or one tenth of a revolution, and when it is oppo site the shortest tooth the pinion will gear successively with al] the teeth and make nine-tenths of a revolution. Similarly, if it be placed at an intermediate position, eight- tenths, four-tenths, and so on, of a revolu- tion can be imparted to it. Now, if the pinion shaft were provided with a finger moving over a dial figured 0 to 9, it is evident that at each revolu- tion of the stepped reckoner the finger would move over, a certain number of the figures, according to the position of the pinion. These two parts, the stepped reck- oner and the pinion, constitute the essence of a calculating machine, the pinion being moved along its shaft by the operator to the required point, and then rotated by the reck- oner, which turns once for each turn of the handle of the machine. Thus, if the pinion were placed opposite the sixth tooth, and the handle were turned three times, the pinion and its shaft would make one complete revo- lution and eight-tenths of a second, and the finger would come to rest over the figure 8 of the dial. But an arithmometer would be little relief to the operator if he needed to keep mental note of the complete revolutions of the index and could only read the units from the scale. Even with simple sums, such as the example above, this would be true, while when the figures ran into mil- lions it would be impossible to carry the amounts in the mind. To avoid this there is employed a carrying device which, as soon as the result exceeds 10, carries 1 to the next column, just as is done in simple addi- tion. This device is shown at the end of the are cylinder, and consists of a single tooth that can be slidden along the shaft, so as to come into gear or not, as the case may be, with a second pinion on the pinion shaft. When the pinion shaft is just completing a revolution a cam in connection with the index draws the tooth on the next cylinder into gear, and then releases it to be moved back by a scroll cam to which it is attached. So far the parts we have described are common to all machines of this class, but the engraving, which is taken from a machine invented by Mr. Jos. Edmundson, of Hali- fax, Yorks, shows some details which are peculiar to the machine in question. The pinion is attached to a long sleeve, at the other end of which is a star-wheel working against a long cylinder formed in one with the stepped reckoner. The cylinder acts as a ring-wheel, the solid portion being of such an extent that it will hold the star in all po- sitions until the pinion gears with the teeth on the reckoner. At that point the ring is cut away and the star-wheel is released, to be again caught soon after the pinion comes out of gear—not immediately, because time must be given for the carrying device to rotate its pinion, and the shaft, if necessary. But in the interval the shaft is not free, be- cause the carrying pinion has also a star- wheel which holds it at this point until the carrying finger actually gears with it. Upon the pinion shaft there is mounted a pair of bevel pinions which gear one at a time into a second pinion on a vertical spindle. This latter rotates to the right or left, according as one or other of the pinions is in gear with it. Having thus described the elemental feature, it is an easy matter to explain the complete machine. Eight stepped reckoners are arranged radially around a central point. instance, the right-hand pinion of all is set | to gear with eight teeth of the reckoner, the next with three, the next with five, and so on. All the stepped reckoners are geared by bevel pinions to a large bevel-wheel which is rotated by the driving handle. The pinion shafts are geared to little vertical spindles in the central disk, and these | spindles carry each a disk numbered 0 to 9 on its upper extremity. One of the num- bers can always be seen through a hole in | the central plate. In the engraving this | | plate is removed to show the mechanism | | There is also fixed on each central spindle a | | cam which at one part of its revolution catches | a lever attached tothe carrying device of the | next reckonerand bringsitintoaction. Now, | Supposing all the figures in the central disk | to be ciphers, it will be seen that the effect of one rotation of the handle will be to cause an 8 to appear in the units hole, a 9 in the 10’s hole, a 5 in the 100’s hole, and soon. That is to say, the multiplicand on the number slides has been multiplied by | I, and the result written on the disk. A | second turn of the handle will add 8 to| the first hole, making it 16, of which the 6 | will appear and the one will be carried to the traction (—). The three are provided for | their full hight. That, however, is only the | convenience, as sometimes one part of the | non-professional view. circle and sometimes another is disengaged. They are geared to the main bevel-wheel, and have three positions. In one they are quite out of action; in the second (+) they add 1 at each revolution, and in the third the equivalent of subtracting 1, and the have no carrying device. The result is that, in multiplying or dividing, the multiplier or the quotient is written on the disk as the sum proceeds, the disk is raised, and the eraser, a curved rack, is brought into gear with the pinions, and successively returns them to zero as they are carried past it. The chief feature of novelty in the ap paratus is its circular form. The advantage In practice the en- gineers prefer to put together the steel bridge (for every part of the metal work is of steel) at low elevation, and then to raise the completed structure foot by foot by hy- | draulic power, building up at the same time (—) they add 9g at each revolution, which is | foot by foot the granite masonry of the | . . ° | piers on which it rests. When the work is finished | of this scarcely needs to be pointed out, as it | is evident that it allows the work to proceed | without the figures running off the end of the scale. Suppose four or five numbers, Undoubtedly the most difficult and most | anxious part of the undertaking is the founding and building up in deep water of the piers which form the base of the canti- levers. The cantilever principle has heen adopted by Mr. Fowler, the designer and | engineer of the bridge, as the best means of spanning the two wide channels of deep water north and south of the Island of Inchgarvie, each forming a span of 1700 feet. Accord- ing to Mr. Fowler’s design, each of the three cantilevers rests on a group of four piers, the central one being on the Island of Inch- garvie, or, to be quite accurate, partly on each having four decimal places, are to be) the island and partly on the shelving rock to multiplied together ; it is evident that very | the south of it. We have thus to account soon they will extend to a great length, of | for 12 piers, forming the basis of three canti- which the portion past the decimal point | levers. will have very little value. ie et It is satisfactory to note that with By erasing the' this delicate and trying part of the work EDMUNDSON’S CALCULATING next hole, making it, with the 3 from above, into 7, and so on. But if the multiplier be a large number, say 1111, it is evident that it would be a wearisome work to turn the handle over a thousand times to work a simple multiplication sum. Nor is it requisite. When unit place has been worked off, the central disk is lifted bodily, to bring all its wheels out of gear with the pinion shafts, and is rotated to the left one hole, the effect being exactly the same as setting the second line of a multiplication sum one place to the left. When the next multiplier is worked off the disk is again displaced one hole, and so on. The process of division is exactly the same except that the regulator handle is put over in such a way as to bring the other set of bevel pinions in gear with the vertical shaft and move the disks backward. In this case the dividend is placed on the circle and the divisor on the number slides at the left of the series, with its highest digit opposite the highest digit of the divisor. The figures on the circles are turned by raising the disk and rotating the ends of the spindles, which protrude above its surface. The division is then accomplished by a process that recalls the ordinary method of working long-division |sums. It is not, however, our object to ‘ write a handbook to the use of the instru- | ment, but to describe its mechanism. There | are yet three ‘‘ index shdes” that we have They are covered by a plate upon which are | not mentioned. They are all designed to mounted ‘‘ number slides "—that is, finger | count the turns of the handles, adding or keys—which serve to slide the pinions along | subtracting them to or from the number in their shafts and to indicate their positions | the hole before them, according as the index by numbers stamped on their faces. For ' on the slide is set to addition (-+-) or to sub- redundant decimals and turning the disk back the entire operation can be conducted at once, whereas if the scale were straight the numbers would have to be copied on paper and then transferred back to the scale. ——————EE The Progress of the Forth Bridge. Favored by a mild winter and an almost total absence of gales, rapid progress has been made on the construction of the great Frith of Forth bridge. At both the shore- ward ends the approach piers have been | completed, with one exception, on the south side up to the level at which they receive the girders. That, however, gives no idea of the hight to which they will ultimately be carried. They are now only 18 feet 6 inches above high water, and the solid ma- sonry is still to be carried up 125 feet higher. MACHINE. | | remarkable progress has been made. In order to estimate truly the nature of the operation, we must try and realize what it involves. circular water-tight iron caisson, from 90 feet to 120 feet in hight, according to the depth of water, and 70 feet in diameter, which is floated out to its position and sunk in the bed of the estuary. The pier, how- ever, cannot rest on the surface of the sea bottom. Its foundations must be sunk and rooted in the subsoil, precisely as in the case |of a pier or of any other building on dry But already the work of placing the girders | in position has been begun, and the super- | structure of the bridge begins to show. the Queensferry side the girders have been completed over three spans, and with the On | fourth and fifth spans some progress has been | made. On the Fife side this part of the work is still further advanced, the girders on | which the permanent way will rest having | been laid down over nearly the whole of the | approach ae. This is a feature of the work whic puzzles the unskilled observer. | itis amply lighted with electric lights. One would naturally expect that no attempt | only means of communicating with the | land. To effect this the caisson must first be sunk to the required depth, the maximum being 48 feet, and the foundation must then be built inside of it. This is undoubtedly the most difficult and hazardous part of the operation, as it has to be carried on not only in deep water, but also over an extended area. It is accom- plished in the following way: The floor of the caisson is 7 feet above its lower rim. There is thus formed in its lower part a chamber 70 feet in diameter and 7 feet high. This chamber is air-tight, and is, in fact. a huge diving-bell, within which the workmen carry on the work of excavation; and as they excavate the caisson sinks foot by foot into the bed of the channel. The chamber is kept constantly filled with compressed air, which serves at once wo exclude the water and to enable the men to breathe freely, and The would be made to place the girders which | chamber is by three air-tight iron shafts or are to carry the railroad until the piers on | hollow columns rising from the floor of the which they are to rest have been built up to | caisson to the top of it, by one of which the! Each pier is built up within a} men descend and ascend, while by the others the soil which they dig out is carried away. When the caisson has been sunk to the requisite depth the air chamber is com pletely filled with concrete and is sealed. On this concrete bed the floor of the caisson rests, and then, the shafts having been re moved, the work of building the pier, with granite blocks on the outside and freestone and concrete in the interior, is carried on within the caisson under the open sky, in the same way as within an ordinary coffer- dam. The work of excavating the subsoil within the compressed air chamber is carried on chiefly by Italians, who have had expe- rience in that kind of labor in connection with other similar works. Such being the method of working, it re mains to take note of the progress that has been made in this part of the operations. To begin with the southern group of four piers, Pier No. 1 is completed, and is ready to re- ceive the plate-bed of the cantilever. Pier No. 2 is far advanced. Nothing is now seen | of the caissons of these piers, the upper parts of them having been removed. Some idea of | the mass of masonry in these granite piers may be gathered from the fact that they are, as has been said, 70 feet in diameter, and that the base of their foundation is 73 feet below high water. The caisson for Pier No. 3, however, has suffered shipwreck. After it had been floated out and safely lowered into its position it unaccountably canted over, suffered damage in the accident, and is now half filled with water. Its recovery will be a work of some difficulty, and will involve the contractors in great expense, though there need be no duubt of the ultimate success of the operation. For Pier No. 4 the caisson is in position, and has been sunk to its final level, the air chamber (the bottom of which is go feet below high water) having been filled up and sealed some weeks ago. The second group of four piers is at the Island of Inchgarvie, in mid-stream, partly on the island and partly on the shelving rock to the south of it. Two of these piers (Nos. 7and 8) are completed, and for the other two the foundations are being prepared. This is a work of no small difficulty, owing to the abrupt slope of the sea bottom. The caisson must rest on a fairly level bed, and this is being artificially obtained by lowering into the sea many thousands of bags of sand. The caisson of Pier No. 6 is ready, and is now moored at the end of the temporary staging on the south side, awaiting the preparation of its bed. The fourth caisson of this group (No. 5), and the last of the whole, is now been constructed close to the Queensferry shore. The third and last group of four piers is that on the northern or Fife shore. Three of these are completed and have re- ceived their lower plate-beds, on which the cantilever will rest. The fourth pier (No. 10), which is proteeted toward the sea by a cottee-dam, is far advanced toward comple- tion. It thus appears that of the 12 piers which are to form the foundation of the three cantilevers six are finished, two are far advanced, and three are making good progress, while only one is in a position to cause anxiety or delay. This, it must be admitted, is very good work, and it may now be fairly said that the back of the great en- terprise has been broken. Nothing strikes one more in going over | the works than the vast extent, the solidity and the variety of the merely temporary work—the scaffolding, so to speak—w hich is required in order to rear the permanent | structure. At the Island of Inchgarvie, for example, the whole area bounded by the four piers—an area measuring 270 feet by | 120 feet—is occupied with a temporary stag- | ing of wood and iron, which has all the ap- | pearance of a permanent wharf. On the | south side the main staging is carried out |from the shore to the first group of piers, | a distance of 2000 feet, and it carries lines | of railway, large workshops and numerous | cranes and engines. One gets the best idea, however, of the extent of the temporary | works by going over the workshops and drilling roads on the top of the hiil above South Queensferry. These works have been much extended. Several new workshops have been added, including a vast molding shop, with blackboard floor, on which the several parts of the structure are laid down in life size. The most interesting part of the work is seen on the drilling roads, where | tne cantilevers are being put together and built up precisely as they will be on top of the piers. After being fitted together here, they will be taken to pieces again and trans ported piecemeal to their places in the bridge, with a view to which each plate, truss and diaphragm is carefully marked and num bered. In examining these structures one gets a vivid idea, though still a very partial one, of the vast dimensions which the com pleted structure will assume. ‘he shortest of the steel cylinders, 12 feet in diameter, which will stretch from pier to pier, are 145 feet in length, while the two longest—those on the Inchgarvie piers—measure 260 feet. At the extremities of these huge cylinders, where the arms are thrown upward and out- ward, so as to form the spring of the arches of the bridge—which are not, in fact, true arches—and where, consequently, the strain will be greatest, the tubes are strengthened by the insertion into their interior of a com- plicated system of diaphragms and trusses, which is apt to bewilder the non-professional eye. The drilling engines are marvels of ingenuity and exactness. They completely surround the cylinders, so that the operation (Continued on page 5.)
