The Iron Age 1885-10-01: Vol 36 Iss 14

Cc. iD Yi the her Sov The Iron Age pEADING MATTER A Review of the Hardware, Iron and Metal Trades. AOVERTISEMENTS Published every Thursday Morning by Davip Wruutams, No. 83 Reade Street, New York. Entered at the Post Office, New York, as Second-Class Matter, The Hopson & Chapin Mfg. Co. The works of this company, which were formerly at Wethersfield, Conn., were re- moved about a year ago to New London. The new establishment, which has been nianned in the light of long experience, is especially well arranged for the economical production of work, and many features spout it will interest our readers. The Wethersfield shops during the eight years they were occupied were enlarged at four jiferent times, indicating a steady growth of business, as well as affording a basis of practical experience in the arrangement of manufacturing plant which has been utilized in this last and most important extension of all. The new works occupy a block of ground adjoining salt water on one side and a ° = nD — Ww wi Zz ~ = x O° - < o = o ae < > ° = ~‘ &private switch connecting with the tracks ot the New York, New Haven and Hartford Sailroad on another. It faces streets of the “wn on the two remaining sides, and is in a respects a very desirable site. The business of the company may be de- scribed as the production of light castings of ine surface and accuracy. Their product *nlers into oil stoves, kerosene-lamp fixtures aod various other, similar goods. The foundry is @ building 70 feet wide by 240 ‘eet long. The framework of this structure 'S unique, consisting of a series of arch ‘russes, making a section through the build. ‘nx equal toa segment slightly less than a ‘*micircle in amount, and acien the floor ‘ithout obstructions. These arches are , imposed of a series of inch boards fastened nee by nailing. They support the roof, a , With the exception of the framework y proyections along the sides of the building , which vertical walls to the hight of win- WS are obtained, and the framing of a turret ventilator along the top, they bia the entire skeleton of the puilding. The location of the foundry culding with respect to the office, ma- an shop, ateene coe, &ec., will be lin erstood by a glance at the accompanying re, which represents a general plan of __© works. The plot of ground which the p tablishment, occupies has a frontage of 447 tran Hamilton street, 289 feet along the H cks of the New York, New Haven and Oreere Railroad, 310 feet at the rear on me street, and 250 feet on the side on How- hee An arm of the bay, known as - the 8 Cove, fronts the works, as indicated — plan. A private wharf has been built, an which a branch of the narrow-gauge ure of track, which is a conspicuous feat- he of the works, extends. A switch from tracks of the New York, New Haven and artford road runs immediately back of the Vol. XXXVI: No. 14. | | shipping-room and stock sheds, as also shown in the plan. While the work in the foundry of this greatest interest for our readers, and is that |to which we design directing particular | attention, it cannot well be considered inde- | What is known | | pendent of other features. | as the main building, which is a three-story | structure 35 x 100 feet in plan, is located ; just back of the foundry. This is employed as the machine and finishing shop. At one end of this building is an addition of 19 x 45 feet, known asthe forge-room, while beyond it in turn is a building 30 x 50 feet, in which are located the tumbling barrels for cleaning castings. A wing extending out- | ward from the main building in the direction | of the foundry, two stories in hight, is occu- New York, T, Sarde, | establishment is that which perhaps has the | cate patterns are stored, and the foundry office. The location of the latter apartment is immediately opposite the platform scales, which are placed in the space between the office building and the end of the foundry. The entrance tothe works for teams, and also for materials received by water, is through this passageway and across the platform scales. toward the office is occupied by the wood- pattern shop, the metal-pattern shop, and by divisions appropriated to the storage of flasks, follow-boards, &c. Much care has been exercised in planning the establishment, not only to facilitate transportation of materials and product from one point to another, but also to secure | one direction of movement through the es- | tablishment, thus avoiding the loss incidental October 1, 1885. placed on the second floor of the main build- ing, and from this point to the cupola there | is a 12-inch sheet-iron pipe, indicated by the dotted lines in the plan. The steam supply of the establishment for both power and heating is furnished by two horizontal tubu- lar boilers, 4 feet and 5 feet in diameter respectively and 15 feet long. Either of power required in operating the machinery and the heating of the works, unless it be in the severest weather; accordingly, one of these is ordinarily in reserve. The engine used is of the automatic type, and was built by the well-known firm of C. H. Brown & Co., of Fitchburg, Mass. It has a nominal horse- power of 60.

If so, when did the depression begin ; when did it reach its lowest point ; and what are its most prominent symptoms / 8. Has its progress hitherto been uniform or irregular; and what do you anticipate that its course will be in the immediate future ? | g.

The lutely necesssary, or that which results from | description of the premises and the facilities | works produced (a) for skilled and (b) for boiler-house is in the form of a shed which | connects the foundry and tbe main building. The chimney stack stands midway between the foundry and the main building and im- mediately adjacent to the boilers. An ex- tension at the opposite end of the main build- ing from the one already described is occu- ied for japanning purposes, for which the Kilns or ovens are built outside, as indicated in the plan. Communication from the main building to the shipping-room is by means of an inclined trestleway running from the second floor. At the rear of the lower floor of the main building is located the inspectors’ room for the assorting of cast- ings. A portion of this floor along the foun dry side is occupied by a number of drilling machines required in fitting certain classes of work. A polishing-room is also partitioned off, in which are located grinding-wheels and other similar machinery. The second floor is occupied as a general machine shop, with a division near the office end devoted to mar- bleizing, for the finish of clock cases and other fine work. The upper floor is also subdivided, affording rooms for gilding and other processes pertaining to the finish of fine ve also for painting, wrapping, packing, c. The office of the establishment occupies a commanding position, and is subdivided, so as toafford all necessary facilities in over- looking and managing a business of such fine detail as the one we are describing. The front of the building is furnished with a porch from which the entrance is by way of a central hall. On the left going in is the main office, with private office partitioned off, as shown in the plan. On the right isa showroom in which are gathered various samples of the work executed by the com- pany, a pattern-room in which fire and deli- work frequently crossing its own track. | Care has also been taken to so arrange the | passage of work in progress from one depart- | ment to another as to facilitate the records | of cost, which are to be described in another | article, and which are a very important fea- | ture of the management of this establishment. | of manufacture was necessary. \ The English Commission on the Depression of Trade. The following circular to chambers of unskilled labor in your district, above or below the average of the last 20 years / 12. What measures could, in your opinion, be adopted to improve the existing condition of trade (a) by legislation and (b) independ- ently of legislation ¢ 14. To what extent do you consider that The storage of coal, coke, sand and the dif-| commerce, issued by the newly-appointed | the present condition of trade and industry ferent grades of pig iron employed is in the | sheds under the shipping-room, dows along- side the railroad tracks in the plan. A branch of the narrow-gauge track running through the works extends to these sheds. If its course on the plain is followed, it will be noticed that it is not provided with a turn-table, but that it leads to the scale plat- form already mentioned, instead of directly to the cupola. The pu of this is to prevent any material getting into the foundry without being weighed and recorded. A switch is located on the scale, and the cars, in being run off from it, are thrown on to the line of track leading to the cupola. Opposite the elevator for conveying iron and fuel to the cupola platform is a turn-table. By this means the car is run upon the elevator, hoisted to the proper level, and then on an- other spur of track run directly to the mouth of the cupola, thus reducing the handling of material to a minimum. A branch of the track also runs down the center of the foundry, and cars upon it are used for gath- ering up the product of a day’s work and conveying the same to the tumbling barrels located, as we have already described, at the rear of the main building. In the same way material is also conveyed to the cinder roll- ing barrels, located still further in the rear, and for general transportation about the premises. The cupola is located centrally in the foundry. The blower supplying the blast is Comunission on the Depression of Trade, has been generally ridiculed by the English press, as it deserves to be: 1. What is the area embraced in the dis- | trict on which your chamber is prepared to report ¢ 2. What trades or industries are of special importance in that district as measured by (a) the amount of capital invested; (b) the amount of labor employed ; (c) the amount of production ¢ 3. In what proportion does the trades and industries of your district find their market at home or in foreign countries, and, as regards the latter, in which countries chiefly ? 4. How has the trade and industry of your districts been affected in the last five years as compared with the periods of 1865-70, 1870-75, 1875-80, as regards (a) its volume ; (b) its gross value ; (c) its net profit ; (d) the amount of capital invested ; (e) the quantity of labor employed ? 5. The phrase ‘‘depression of trade” would appear to imply a ‘‘ normal level ” of trade. During what periods in the last 20 years should you say that trade had been (a) at its normal level ; (b) above that level; or (c) below it ¢ 6. Judged by a scale constructed in this manner, can the condition of trade and in- dustry, or that of any special trade or indus- try, in your district at the present time be fairly described as ‘‘ depressed ”’ / in your district has been affected by the op- eration of any of the following causes: (a) Changes in the relation between capital and labor ; (b) changes in the hours of labor ; (c) changes in the relations between the pro- ducer, the distributor and the consumer ; (d) fall in prices or appreciation of the standard of value; (e) the state of the currency and the banking laws ; (/) restriction or inflation of credit ; (g) overproduction; (h) foreign competition ; (k) foreign tariffs or bounties ; (1) incidence of taxation, local or imperial ; (m) communication with other markets; (n) legislation affecting trade ; (0) legislation af fecting land ? ln The Philadelphia and Reading Company are using the buckwheat coal fur steam rais- ing wherever possible along the line of the road. It is prepared at the dirt banks in the coal regions, and the only cost to the company is the labor of preparing the fuel. Besides the large engines engaged in the coal- carrying trade on the main line that use this kind of fuel, nearly all of the shifting en- gines have been rebuilt for the purpose, thereby saving many thousands of dollars annually to the company. ‘The stationary engines are also run by the same kind of fuel at all points not only along the main line, but along all the branches, including the collieries in the Schuylkill coal region owned and operated by the company. aan er ee ee ee ee ; jae SS ae er ET ee: THEH IRON AGE.

Immediately on the expiration of the 60 days he applied for payment, but was told by the agents that the check had not arrived, which was not the reason of the de lay, and they continued to put him off until at length they demanded the policy for can- cellaticn, on the ground that there had been a fraudulent concealment by him, G., of a previous incipient fire, and they threatened to sue him if he did not give up the policy. It appeared on the trial of the action brought to recover the insurance money that four days before the burning of the property an incipient fire had occurred, but the loss was so trifling, about 50 cents repairing, that G. thought it of no moment, and made no re port of it. In Georgia there is a statute which allows, besides the principal and inter est, against an insurance company which in bad faith refuses to pay a loss, 25 per cent. damages and $500 attorney’s fee. The plaintiff recoverd his loss with interest, and the jury added 10 per cent. damages and the attorney fee claimed. The company carried the judgment—Watertown Fire Insurance Company vs. Grehan—to the Supreme Court of Georgia, where the plaintiff succeeded again. Judge Hall, in the opinion, said: ‘*t. Where the company seeks to avoid the policy under the clauses against fraud, it must show a willful intent to defraud rather than an innocent mistake. 2. We think the facts in evidence certainly justified the jury, although they might not have been required to find the extra damages and attorney’s fee for the plaintiff. The real cause for refusing payment, information which implicated him in the burning, the agents did not communi- cate to the plaintiff until until he had threat ened the company with suit ; and even after the commencement of the action these agents threatened to prosecute him, to com- pel him to settle for a mere ‘stipend,’ to use their own language to the company.
