Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter, Vol. XXXVI: No. 3. Driving Belts and Ropes. At the Millers’ Convention, held in Glas- w, Scotland, last month, Mr. John Tullis ead a paper from which we extract the llowing : A modern flour mill is now one connected machine—so much so that from the time the vheat is subjected to the first operation it must travel onward from one grade to other until it is ready for the market. A single hitch of half an hour with one machine or one belt will disarrange the en- tire mill. f belting is a very important consideration, ind little hints regarding the preservation f it may be of some use. The question for | nsideration is, ‘‘ Whether belts or ropes | ' the best and cheapest method.” First st is often quoted when comparing ropes | ind belts. There is nodoubt that main belts are much more expensive than driving ropes | f cotton orhemp. But we must also look at the first cost of rope pulleys, and compare them with the price of belt pulleys. When these values are considered, I believe the belt-driven mill will be started for very little more money than a rope-driven mill. If the speeds, diameters and widths are properly To the miller, therefore, the best ! | 30 inches wide ; nearly a dozen of them are |long, being 150 feet by 19 inches, and of | double-orange tan. They run as straight | and as steady as a line, and have only been ;once taken up. Now comes the answer to | the question often asked as to which side of a leather belt ought to run next the pulley. | It is well known that by running the grain or smooth side next the pulley there isa con- | siderable gain in driving power. However, by using the boiled linseed oil, as before | mentioned, the flesh will soon become as smooth as the grain, and the driving power fully as good. A belt working with the | grain side next the pulley really has a much ‘shorter life than the belt running on the flesh side. Patent Leather Chain Belting.—Arched to suit the curve of the pulley, leather chain belting is proving to be one of the best belts ever invented. According to this manufac- ture, the entire face of the belt comes in equal contact with the entire face of the pulley. No unequal strain comes upon the rivets, as they have a level bed to lie upon. This belt is made a little thicker at the edges than in the center. It can be made to suit any curve of pulley. All that is wanted is a templet of the pulley alculated, giving 1 inch of width of belt, traveling at 500 feet per minute, 1-horse power to transmit, the result will be emi- nently satisfactory. Well-made, properly- stretched leather belts will run as straight as a line, last for 30 years, and be good for ‘utting up into smaller sizes after that. <A mill engineered after this fashion has a long and comfortable life before it. Vain Driving Belts.—The belt isa soft and most elastic transmitter of power. It absorb: ess power in itself than ropes. A number f textile ropes on one pair of pulleys never pull altogether as one. Each individual rope has a traveling speed of its own—conse- juently, there must be a loss of power ; whereas a belt transmits the power from one pulley to another in one solid grasp. Belts and ropes both drive well when the distances from center to center are great, and the pul- eys large in diameter. But arope has no hance against a belt when the shafts are near each other, or the pulleys less than 4 feet 6 inches in diameter. Under these cir- imstances a good belt will give splendid re- sults, while the best of ropes are a constant annoyance Main driving leather belts should be manufactured so that when the nt is made while the belt is in its place, it ight to present the appearance of an end less belt. After having been taken up once r twice during the first year, good belts sich as these require very little attention << luring the subsequent years of their long If the belt is driving in a warm en- vine-room it ought to get a coating of cur- rier’s dubbing three times a year. All belts having much work to do ought to present a immy face to the pulley, and this condi- ion can be best maintained by applying one iting of dubbing and three coatings of boiled nseed oil once a year. This oil oxidizes, ol the gummy surface formed gives the t a smooth, elastic driving face. A belt ked after in this way will always run slack, and the tear and wear will be incon siderable. On the other hand, dry belts ive to be kept tighter, because they slip ud refuse to lift the work. The friction of e running pulley ‘‘ burns the life” out of the belt while this slipping is going on. The iriving face is made as hard as millboard, ind as well polished as a millstone. Bushes we ground down, shafting worn, oil con- sumed, the belt killed and condemned, be- uuse the disease has been misunderstood. . belt is wanted to do more work than s originally intended, by, say, an addition the machinery of the mill, a very good in of getting power is to run a second t upon the top of the one in use. Do not ect them in any way, and the outside will work for itself, and do a large tion of the driving. By way of ex- ent, I have made four 6-inch single running independently on the top of another over 4-foot driver and driven ys, transmit over 80 horse-power, the ts traveling at a speed of 1800 feet per ite. Each of these belts did its own e of the work, and while running over wn circumference each gained a little | one example. o ' er 30 feet per minute upon the one below ;|} Lancashire, was troubled with a 28-inch flat that the outside belt traveled over go feet | double belt, not being able to transmit the ver minute more than the inside belt.

The links may be 1 inch deep at the one side, tapering to 3 inch deep at the other. By this formation a twist belt can be made to any width. It comes in contact with every inch of the pulley. The strain is taken up by the heavy side, the slackness is taken out, and the belt seems to work as well as if there | were no twist to contend with. Cotton Belts.—These are very good for many sorts of drives, such as paper mills, dye works, wet spinning flax mills, and all sorts of works in which steam and water are present in abundance. They also answer well for outside driving. At our own works we have our own make of cotton belts, trans mitting power across yards from one build ing to another, in all weathers, with no other | covering than a coat of boiled linseed oil, applied every two months. In warm coun- tries these belts do remarkably well. The objectional fraying of the edges has now been cured by epplying our patent project- ing leather edge.

The wheels, being elliptical, give a uniform traverse throughout, whereas if circular wheels were used the angular motion of the connecting-rod would affect the speed of travel. The self-acting feed motion to the drilling headstocks is obtained by means of a cam motion above the elliptical driving- wheel, as shown. The self-acting disengaging motion to each drilling headstock is obtained by means of a sliding-rod and claw clutch, which is also to be seen by reference to the illustration, and which is brought into oper ation by means of a stop on the headstock. cI NOTES. |The Rolling Qualities of High-Phos- phorus Steel, One of the points in connection with the | Clapp-Griffiths process which has caused | prominent engineers to hesitate has been |the doubt as to the practicability of rolling high-phosphorus steel. A test recently made | at the Edgar Thomson Steel Works has, therefore, particular interest. Two 14-inch ingots from the Oliver plant were charged \ into a hot furnace, and after remaining in it |for two and-a-half hours they were given |four passes on the blooming train. The 1 steel rolled exceedingly well, the reduction on the first pass being 2 inches and on the second 14% inches. After being rolled to 10% inches square the ingots were taken to the forge and were reduced to 24-inch by 14- inch slabs. The experiment, which was made to ascertain whether the steel would stand the heavy reductions of regular bloom ing mills, was entirely satisfactory. The chemical composition of the steel was: tility, and with few exceptions were fair steel. The five charges to be used for rivet steel contained .15 to .16 carbon, .4 to .47 manganese, and .08 to .ogg phosphorus. The Basic Open-Hearth Process. A French company, the Ibuta-Bankowa, operating open-hearth steel works at Dour- browa, in Russian Poland, have introduced the basic process and have been working it for the last three years in four out of their eight 10-ton open-hearth furnaces, under the guidance of M. Valleraux. The hearth and the walls are made of basic brick, while the roof is made of Dinas brick, without any mortar. The basic material consists of dolomite calcined in a shaft furnace, ground and mixed with tar to a stiff paste ; bauxite proved a failure. The brick were slowly calcined in a Bicheroux furnace and turned out pretty hard. The binding material, used dry, was finely-crushed basic brick. The stock used was iron ore low in silica, white pig iron with a maximum of .5 per cent. of silicon and 2 to 3 per cent. of phosphorus, and wrought iron and steel scrap of all kinds, and Belgian and English old rails, which, on account of their high-phosphorus contents, cannot be used to any extent in the old process. After patching the hearth 200 pounds of lime are distributed over its sur- face, followed then by the iron ore. The pig iron is placed in the center and the scrap along the slope of the hearth, near the fire bridge. All the scrap, limestone, ferromanganese or spiegeleisen used during the pro- cess is heated to redness in the heating furnaces which are a part of the plant, one being provided for every open-hearth furnace. After the bath is liquid, addi- tions of scrap and lime are made until its level is high enough to remove the cinder through the working door. When the test samples show any hard spots, lime is added, the bath stirred and the cinder drawn until the dephosphorization is com- plete. A charge lasts from 7 to 9 hours, the yield being from 8 to 11 tons, the waste, not counting the ore, being 10 per cent. One of the troubles is to watch the roof, so that it does not melt at the hottest point. This is prevented by frequently reversing gas and air valves. As soon as the roof be- gins to drip and acid particles fell into the bath, a strong reaction takes place which may easily lead to the breaking through of the charge, or even running into the checker work, which happened a few timesin the be- ginning. An Excellent Furnace Mr. E. C. Potter, superintendent of the North Chicago Rolling Mill Company, has sent us the following figures, giving the record of Furnaces 5, 6 and 7 during the month of June, viz,, the quantity of iron made and the quantity of coke used : ~— Record, Coke con- Iron pro sumption, duced, Coke used, Ibs. per tons tons ton No. 5 5, 887 6.202 2.15 No. 6 5,810 6,158 2,130 No.7 5,802 6,453 2,190 Total 17,589 18, 033 2,156 The average daily product of those furnaces was: No. 5, 194% tons; No. 6, 194 tons; No. 7, 19624 tons. The Power Hequired for Holling In a recent issue of The lion Age we referred to the experiments made at the Pulitow Works, Russia, on the power re quired for rolling steel rails The same source contains some data on the power re- quired for rolling steel channels. Bessemer ingots weighing 1874 pounds, 14 inches square, were rolled on a blooming train in five passes, of which three grooves produce concave depressions on the bloom, The bloom thus made is cut under a steam ham mer into two parts 60 inches long each, and weighing 937 pounds. The steel for these channels is milder than that used for rails, and is carried to a white heating in the reheating furnaces In eight the partly-shaped blooms are rolled out to chan nels with 9.25-inch base, .394 to .433 inch passes (Continued on page 5.) aa ce == 2 te Lig? “ ‘rs _ "he 8 3* THBIIRON AGE.
