Heavy Pattern Flooring Machine. [he S. A. Woods Machine Company, of | | Liberty street, New York, have recently erfected a new heavy pattern flooring ma- ( chine, the general features of which are in- dicated by the accompanying engraving. This machine has been designed with special reference to high speed and fast feed, and to meet the requirements of mills doing a large amount of business and at the same time producing the very best work. An entirely new set of patterns has been prepared, em- bodying novel features and every part has heen proportioned with special reference to convenience and durability. Both top and bottom heads are made from solid wrought iron, slotted and lipped on all four sides, thus admitting of the use of molding, rabbeting or beading cutters. Cast-steel shafts extend entirely through the heads. ‘The journals are large and are fitted with great care. The boxes on top of the cutter-head are united by means of a yoke extending across and under the bed of the machine, instead of over the top, as is usual, thus keeping the journals always in line and at the same time giving free access for setting and sharpening the cut- ters. Theunder cutter-head is also mounted inthe frame, and can be adjusted up and dowa by means of screws arranged for that purpose, The pressure-bar on the leading-in side of the top head is attached to swinging arms, which admits of the pressure-bar working close to and directly in front of the cutters, thus preventing the tearing and splintering of the lumber, and is so constructed that it —— can be set forward or backward to admit of molding or other cutting. The bar upon the opposite side can also be adjusted back and forth for the same purpose. The press- ure-bars are also adjustable for the pur- pose of admitting molding cutters to be used on the under cutter-head. The one on the leading-out side, being weighted, adjusts itself to the required pressure, and both bars are easily removed for the purpose of sharp- ening and resetting. The bed over the under cutter is easily removed by throwing up the handle, which loosens the binding bolt, leaving the bed free to be swung up on the opposite end. Then, by removing the press- ure-bars, the cutters can be readily got at. The head can be turned to present the vari- ous sides to the operator by means of the lever handle, which can be inserted in the holes in collar seen at end of box, thereby avoiding the troublesome methods of turning the heads by the belts. The side spindle frames are attached to and move upon a round bar running across the machine. By this means the operator is able to adjust and keep the spindles firm in their p'aces at all times. ‘The heads are of cast steel and are provided with the com- pany’s patent hinged chip-breaker, which has proved very satisfactory on other ma- chines. One of the side heads can be ad- justed at the work end of the machine, a scale being there fixed to show the width required. There are six feed rolls, 8% inches in diameter, one pair being placed at the end of the frame beyond the under cut ters, carrying the lumber entirely through, besides assisting to keep the board in a straight line past side heads and under cut- ters. All the rolls are heavily weighted, and are provided with expansion gears, and are so mounted with expansion links upon both ends of the shafts that an equal press- ure is obtained upon both edges of the board, causing it to alwa: ; ** hug the guide” and feed through straight. The method of suspending and weighting the feed rolls is new and free from the usual top hamper and expansion gearing upon the work side, which obstructs the operator. ‘The feed works are so arranged t a feed from 25 to 100 feet per minute can be obtained. The frame of the No. 214 machine, illustrated in our engraving, is 12 feet long and weighs 6500 pounds. An important feature of the New Orleans | exposition was the extensive | wood-working machinery. What was called the Wood-Working Machinery Annex, it is believed contained the most varied and complete display of machinery in this line |}ever seen. Prominent among the exhibitors | wasthiscompany. Eight different machines ; were entered for competition, namely : Fast feed flooring machine, molding, planing and matching machine, jointing machine, circu lar-saw machine, planing machine for matching two boards at a time, panel planer and shop surfacer, and, they inform us, eight gold medals of the first-class for supe- rior excellence were received. a The Hell Gate Improvements. Hell Gate will soon be a thing of the past, a tradition that ‘‘once upon a_ time,” for, unless Gen. John Newton, Lieu tenant Derby and the corps of experts who have been planning, boring, hammering, delving and exploding since 1866 are mis taken, Flood Rceck, now undermined, will, in less than two months, be charged with ** rackarock ” and in millions of pieces jump to the surface of the channel and back again, there to stay until the dredging business begins and carries the débris away. The original condition of the channel of | few display of | year ending June 30, 1884, for running the pumps to keep Flood Rock clear of water and for watching and preser vation of property. During the year ending June 30, 1885, the available balance, $371, 978.87, will be applied to extending the gal leries in about 4 acre and drilling about 5000 feet of 3-inch holes in the pillars for the tinal blast, which, it is expected, will take place about September. The amount that can be profitably expended in the fiscal year |}ending June 30, 1886, is $5,0Cc0,000, and it will be applied to completing the final blast of Flood Rock, commencing operations on | the removal of Negro Point and completing the removal of Frying Pan and Pot Rock. The estimated amount required for the en tire and permanent completion of the work of improvement, in accordance with the approved and adopted project, is $1,602,- 963.67. Owing to the failure of the passage of the River and Harbor bill in March, 1883, it was $25,098 : | | became necessary to reserve a suflicient bal- ; ance to provide for the extensive and valu- able plant belonging to this appropriation, and the funds so reserved were devoted to that purpose. It was necessary to run the pumps on Flood Rock in order to keep the excavation from filling with water which leaks through the seams of the rock, and a men, in addition to their duties as East River and Hell Gate was the existence watchmen, were kept busy in caring for and of many large and dangerous rocky obstruc- | making repairs to the machinery and stop- tions to navigation.

Hallett’s Point, from the shore at Astoria, projected under water 325 feet to the contour line of 26 feet at mean low water, and embraced an area of about 3 acres. The Middle Reef, with an area of about 9 acres, lay in the middle of the chan- nels at Hell Gate, having a small backbone projecting above high water, and caught vessels swept upon it by the ebb currents, which passed directly over the rocks. Hallett’s Point and the Middle Reef may be said to have been alternate in mis- chievous functions; vessels which es caped one ran a great risk of falling upon the other. What added consider- ably to the danger from these reefs was the bend at right angles of the river at this spot. The originally adopted project for the im- provement was the least extensive of three projects discussed by the engineer in charge. The one now being carried out was judged by the authorities in 1867 to be too exten- sive and costly. The project first adopted was the removal of Put Rock, Frying Pan, Way’s Reef, Shelldrake, the rock off Negro Point, the rocks near Wolsley’s bath-house, Blackwell’s Rock, Portions of Hallet’s Point and Scaly Rock.: Sea walls were designed for for the Middle Reef, Hog’s Back, the Bread and Cheese and a beacon for Rylander’s Reef. The project most favored by the engineer in charge, which included likewise the total re- moval of Hallet’s Point and of the Middle Reef, received the approval of the authori- ties. The project first intended solely for Hell Gate was modified by incorporating with it rocky obstructions in the East River, Dia- mond Reef, Coenties Reef and a reef near the North Brother. The amount expended thereon to the close of the fiscal year ending June 30, 1883, was $3,136,945. 23. The condition of the improvement was the removal of the Diamond, mties and Way’s reefs and Sheldrake to a depth of 26 feet at mean low water; the breaking up of Heel Tap Rock, the tunneling and explosion of Hallett’s Point, and the removal of the débris to the depth of 26 feet at mean low water; the tunneling of the middle reef (Flood Rock) to the extent of 23,180.9 linear feet, and the removal therefrom of 70,347.9 cubic yards of stone measured in place; the removal of the reef off the North Brother Isiand to the depth of 26 feet at mean low water, The amount expended during the —_ MACHINE, over Heel | tender scow and one dump scow, were re- | i WB on Hi hi i ” BUILT BY THE S A. moved from Flood Rock and laid up in Go wanus Creek, as it was not safe to leave them exposed to the large quantities of ice which go with great velocity through Hell Gate. The appropriation for improving East River and Hell Gate for the year end ing June 30, 1885, is limited in its Ts tion to ‘removing the reef at Hell Gate.” Owing to the lack of funds, due to no appropriation being made for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1884, it became necessary to stop active work on May 31, 1883, and re duce the expenditures to those necessary for the preservation of the work already done and the care and preservation of the plant on hand. At Flood Rock all leaks were gone over and plugged and wedged as tight as possible, reducing the leaks, as measured, from 737 gallons per minute at the begin- ning of the year to 565 gallons per minute. A number ct pevbed in the manner of run ning the pumps were made during the year by | Lieutenant Derby, resulting in a large sav- 4 ing in the amount of coal required for pump- ing. The most novel of these changes was connecting three pumps, so that the exhaust | steam from the first worked the second, -_ that from the second worked the third, stead of supplying each with steam Siete from the boiler. This allowed the use of steam at a pressure of from 60 to 70 pounds | to the inch to be supplied to the first pump, which gave 40 puunds to the second and 20 pounds to the third, the expansion being ob- | tained by increased speed in tn the second and third pumps, instead of by increased area of | iston, as in the ordinary compound engine. ithout this device the steam pressure had to be relieved to about 20 to 25 pounds to the inch by throttling, in order to give the pumps a safe speed. By the Newton drilling scow Diamond and Coenties reefs, near Governor’s Island ; Way’s Reef, Sheldrake, Heep Tap rocks and Pot Rock, partially, in Hell Gate, and a rock near the North Brother Island, op- posite Port Morris, were blasted to the depth of 26 feet at mean low water. For the large reef at Hallett’s Point and the mid- dle reef the process by tunneling was used. Hallett’s Point reef, as removed, was spread over an area of about 3 acres, It was per- forated with 41 longitudinal and 11 trans- verse tunnels, the roof of the excavation being supported by 172 piers of natural rock. Drill holes were made in the piers and in the | removed by WOODS MACHINE CO roof, and charged with dynamite explosives. The number of charges simul taneously exploded was 4427, and the reef was demolished. The broken rock was then means of the steam grapple. The explosion was important in its features, as proving, first, that by a correct disposi tion a large amount of high explosives could be safely fired in a settled neighborhod, and, second, by mathematical formula the bat- teries, wires, &c., to explode any number whatever of separate charges could with certainty be determined. The middle reef, or Flood Rock, as commonly named at pres- | ent, contains an area of nearly 9 acres, of | which nearly 8 acres have been tunneled. If funds had been granted it was contemplated | to blow up the reef in October, 1854, the autum being the sole proper season for con- ducting such a gigantic operation with cer tainty and safety Work was commenced upon this reef in 1875 by sinking two shafts, one being 10 by 12 in plan and : 51 feet deep, t the other being about 12 feet square in plan. shafts tunnels or galleries were driven, and the rock taken from them was utilized by throwing it into the river around the shafts | and erecting a wall around the reef, so as t» obtain a sufficient area upon which to place the necessary machinery and workshops to be used in operating upon the rock. In May, 1876, owing to a lack of funds, work | was suspended and did not recommence un- til September of the same year. It was then carried forward until December 31, 1376, | when it was found impracticable to continue regular work on account of the heavy ice NEW YORK. running in the river and the difficulty of obtaining fresh water for the boilers As no appropriation bad been made for this work for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1877, it becomes necessary to suspend the work on Flood Rock, except such as was absolutely necessary for the preservation and storage of the public property. An appropriation of $350,000 was made by act of Congress, June 18, 1878, and in July, 1878, work was re- sumed, after having been suspended from January 1, 1877. From this time until the present the operations have been actively prosecuted. The entire mass has been traversed, checkerboard fashion, by galleries quarried at vast expense out of the solid stone. The squares of the checkerboard represent the pillars of rock that have been left to support the superincumbent mass of the reef. Ac- cording to report the work of loading the mine will begin about the end of this month. A comparatively new explosive, ‘‘ racka- | rock,” made by the Rendrock Powder Com- pany, of this city, is to be chefly used. The | peculiarity of this compound is that the two | ingredients composing it—di-nitro benzole, a product of the distillation of coal tar, and chlorate of potash—are harmless when sep- arate. They can be transported and handled without special precaution. Two hundred and twenty-five thousand pounds of this compound are to be used, packed in copper cylinders 2% inches in diamet r and 2 feet long, holding | about 6 pounds | of explosive each. In ad- dition to the ‘‘ rackarock” powder about | 75,000 pounds of No. 1 dynamite will be used. The cartridges will be exploded by electric fulminate primers of the usual type. The men who pack the ‘‘ rackarock ” into | the cylinders are experts in the employ of the company. Each cylinder is soldered | and like | From these | | importance. galleries shattered and the entire rock will sink to the bottom of the river, a huge mass of débris, which will afterward be removed piecemeal by the dredges. | _—!: The One-Rail Elevated Road in Boston, The parties interested in the one-rail ele vated road in Boston now have a chartet | which allows them to form a company and build « mile of their road in the city of Cambridge. When that is done, if the rail road commissioners approve the new road a3 practical and safe, the company will be allowed to build into and upon Boston streets, | provided the City Government gives permis sion, The work they have just beg building of a 2500-foot section of their pecu | liar new railroad, also an engine anda car such as they propose to use. The chief char | ac teristic of the new road isa single rail elevated upon a line of posts at a hight of 14 feet from the ground. It is called a single | rail, though perhaps a more correct descrip tion would be two rails placed oue above the other ata distance of 4 feet, and connected | by a series of braces. The supports or posts are placed at distances of 45 feet, and are almost exactly like those of the New York Elevated Railroad, except that the lower end is firmly incased in concrete and rests _ |a solid bed of concrete several feet unde | ground. The truck frame of the cars is placed astride the rail, like a saddle upon the back of a horse, and each truck frame has six wheels Upon either side tvo of un is the these wheels run upon the lower part of the rail, inclining upward and outward from the point of contact at an angle of 45 degrees The other two wheels are plaeed horizon tally under the car, and level with the top of the rail, along the sides of which they run, one upon either side. By means of hydrau lic pressure applied from the engine, thes are made to clasp the rail tightly, and by this power of traction the forward or back ward motion is secured. Each wheel has an independent axis of its own, and, by a most ingenious ¢ ontrivance under the car, the op posing wheels are always kept at right angles with the rails, regardless of curves. Some of the curves may be very sharp ; steep grades may be overcome by means of the traction power, The truck frames of the locomotive are lke those of the car, with the connecting-roda attached to the horizontal wheels upon either side of the rail. The pressure of the wheels upon the rails is such as to make it almost impossible for them to leave it, but in case this should happen the car could not leave the track. - It would simply drop 1% inches and slide along, rest ing upon the top of the rail, the truck frame serving as asubstantial brace upon both sides The cars are of novel pattern, cylindrical in form, and built of iron. In carrying out their plans for this unique railroad the builders have, of course, to guard against horizontal strain upon the rail, which surface roads have nothing to do with, but they are confident that the precautions they have taken will make accidents almost impossible, a Russian Manganese Mines.—The man |ganese mines of the Charapau district, 40 km. from the nearest railroad station, at Kwirila, Southern Russia, are growing in In 1884 the output was 12,050 tons, and it is expected that during the cur when full, so as to make it water-tight. This is a delicate operation, but familiarity seems to breed the most perfect contempt among the workmen employed. The loaded cylinders are placed in the mine holes and |rammed home by picked men who have volunteered for the work. When the cylin- ders are all in, the mine will be flooded with water and the cartridges exploded. © In the Hallett’s Point explosion 49,990 pounds of dynamite were used, about one-sixth of the | amount of explosives to be used at Flood Rock.
