AOVERTISEMENTS Published every Thursday Morning by Davip WILLIAMS, Vol. XXXVI: No. New Band Saw Mill. Below is shown a new Band Saw Mill built by Benjamin & Fischer, Chicago, which possesses features of interest to lum- hermen and wood-workers in general. Many attempts have been made in the construction of sawmills utilizing the band saw principle, but all that have ap- peared in the past have left opportunities for improvement. The device which we illustrate is one of the most recent attempts toward perfecting a mill of the character mentioned, and that it has merits of no mean order is fully attested by the results of a trial made under the auspices of the Lumbermen’s Association, in September last. Among the peculiarities of this machine may be mentioned the relatively small diam- eter of the upper wheel, which decreases the bearing surface at this point while increasing it at the driving point or on the lower and larger wheel. A tightening- wheel is also introduced at a point where the saw leaves the driving-wheel, intended for taking up the slack of the idle side of the saw, thus obviating the necessity of so intense a strain as is sometimes found neces- sary. A governor is also provided, the loca- tion of which is shown in the engraving. In sawmills of this class as ordinarily constructed the top and bottom pulleys are of the same size, but in this case, the upper pulley being the smaller, the governor operates to prevent it from becoming the driver, thus overcoming the tencency to buckle which would otherwise exist. The governor is run on a friction- wheel, resting on the saw blade at its highest point. If from any cause the speed of the saw slackens, the balls of the governor drop and raise a brake which, coming in contact with a wheel inside of the upper wheel and attached to it, instantly checks its velocity, at the same time exerting a powerful lever- age upon the tightening-wheel, serving to tighten the saw and keep the slack where it belongs. Another purpose is also served. Inasmuch as the tension of the saw suitable fora small log will not be sufficient for a large one, or when knots are struck, there is the need of an automatic governing device to respond as occasion demands. In such cases in this machine it is asserted that the governor acts promptly and automatically. As an insufficient tension is likely to be pro- juced by the slackening of the speed of the saw, the required tension is maintained by means of the governor until the proper speed is reached. At the exhibition of this mill mentioned the visitors found that the ma- chine to be tested had been mounted upon a foundation consisting of two sticks of timber laid upon soft, wet ground, and as 1 result that the foundation was not of thai character required for the heavy work of a sawmill. Notwithstanding this the saw was started and a number of logs were cut into planks and small timber. As a result of the trial the committee asserted that the mill seemed to work as well in the round log as in the cant. In one case a piece of Norway bark which was lying on top of the log was cut by the saw without in the least disturb- ing its position. The feed employed was 5 inches, and the saw is said to have done its work with a steady motion and that musical ring so sweet to the ears of practical mill men. We learn from the manufacturers that this mill has a capacity of from 30,000 to 40,000 feet of lumber per day, a result which, it is claimed, has never been reached by other band saw mills. LL Gas Producers in Glass Works.—<As stated in our issue of last week, the experi- ment of using waste coal in the glass fur naces has proved of great advantage. All f the factories in Bellaire are said to be now using at least half slack without hanging their furnaces at all, thereby reducing the cost of fuel in no smail amount. The coal used by all of the glass factories in the past has cost 5 cents per bushel, and it required from 3500 to 4000 ishels per week for each furnace. Now ess than half that amount of coal is used, and the balance of the heat produced by the if slack, which is given away at the mines, and the only cost attached to it is for ‘transportation. Of course this will not last og, because to create a demand for any- ig attaches a value to it that the owner is k to perceive, but it is not probable that slack used will ever cost more than 2 ts per bushel; hence the saving to even inchanged furnaces can readily be seen, while at the new furnace at the Crystal ‘‘indow Glass Works everything has worked use a charm, and all who have seen it pro- ince ita great success, superior in every *spect to natural gas, except that the ‘tural gas, if it could be depended upon, is re convenient to light and turn on or off, while the coal and air gas must be manu- ‘actured, ee — Che latest addition to the Russian navy is gunboat Bobr, built by the firm of Crich- « Co , of Abo, Finland. She is 187 feet | 35 feet broad and 9% feet deep. The | acement is 949 tons. The engines are | ound and are to work up to rooo indi- sted horse-power. The armament com- rises one g-inch gun, one 6-inch gun, six | ounders and two Hotchkiss cannon. The “sel is to steam at 14 knots.

There are about 40 wire mills whose total production is esti- mated to be nearly 300,000 tons. The fol- lowing is the distribution of these works in the different States: Maine, 2; Massuchu- setts, 8; Rhode Island1; Connecticut, 3: New York, 5; ; . Pennsyl- New Jersey, 2 ~ i a iN AF ih bi mt BAND SAW vania, 7; Maryland, 1; Ohio, 4; Illinois, 4; Missouri, 2, and California, 2. The most important works are the Washburn & Moen Mfg. Co., the Gautier Steel Department of the Cambria Iron Co., the Uliver Wire Co., of Pittsburgh, the Cleveland Rolling Mill Co., and the New Haven Wire Co. These five works represent about two-thirds of the American production.

Every BENJAMIN wire mill having arranged its apparatus to to the sizes of its gauge in developing the drawing processes desires to avoid the ex- pense of the change, and therefore it will be a difficult matter to reach an understanding. Besides, the consumers would not very much enjoy a modification of present measures, which are deeply implanted in the usages of the different States. The greatest proportion of wire drawn, both in America <A etn is steel, which ture considerable quantities. The greater | is easily explained by the comparatively low number of the wire works ‘quoted draw not alone iron and steel wire, but also copper and brass wire. Besides, there are in the United States nine wire works who make a specialty of the two latter metals. | equal to the Swedish. Before going into the question of the manufacture of wire, a few words should be said on the many gauges employed in America. Those most used for iron and | steel are the Washburn & Moen and the} Trenton gauges, which approach one another very closely. The American, or Brown & Sharpe, gauge differs a littlefrom them. We * Revue Universelle des Mines rice of this metal. A little iron is drawn, cause, for some uses steel has not yet sup- planted it. Thus, for instance, for electrical | purposes the iron employed is of a quality In order to show this we transcribe as follows the principal con- dition of the specifications of the Western Union Telegraph Co. 1. The wire should be soft and flexible and capable of stretching after galvanizing 15 per cent. without rupture. | 2. A great resistance is not required. Still the wire should not break uader a strain less & FISCHER, ing agent. | 3. In order to test the ductility a piece of {the wire held between two jaws 6 inches |} apart shall be twisted on itself. The entire | number of twists should be distinctly visible between the jaws, and this number should not be less than 15 on the length of 6 inches. 4. The weight per mile should approach | as closely as possible the following figures : | No. 4, 730 pounds; No. 6, 540 pounds; No. | 8, 380 pounds ; No. 9, 320 pounds; No. 10, 250 pounds. 5. The electrical resistance of the wire in ohms per mile at 68° F. must not pass the | quotient of the constant number 5000 by the | weight of the wire in pounds per mile. ” For | instance, the resistance of the wire weighing | 730 pounds per mile must not be higher than | 5000 divided by 730, equal to 6.85 ohms. CHICAGO, ILL, Again, a No. 6 wire must not be above 9.26 ohms; the No 8, 13.16 ohms and No g 15.625 ohms; the coefficient 0.003 will be allowed for every degree of Fahrenheit in | the calculation of the reduction to normal temperature. 6. The wire must be perfectly cylindrical and free from faults, inequalities, cracks or any other flaw. Every bundle must be guaranteed not to contain any weld, joint or splice in the rod before drawing cold. Every wire should be stretched about 2 per cent | before delivery. 7. It is desired that the wire be delivered | in bundles in one piece weighing about 150 pounds. If a contractor cannct undertake this he may submit bundles of two pieces only, connected by an ordinary twist and welded with care 8. The wire must be well galvanized and capable of undergoing the folowing tests: It must be plunged into a saturated solution of sulphate of copper, where it remains one minute and is then dried. This operation shall be repeated four times. If | than two and one-half times its weight per | after the fourth immersion the wire becomes mile.

Single Copies, Ten Cents. er galvanizing is satisfactory. If, on the contrary, the wire assumes the color of copper, it is shown that the iron has been uncovered and that the layer of zinc is too thin. The thickest wire used for telegraphic purposes in the United States is No. 4, which posesses a conductivity required by the recent multiplex svstems of trans mission. The Western Union Telegraph Co. are replacing a large number of | their No. 6 and No. 8 wires by No. 4. The No. 8 may be considered the average No. g and No 10 are and American railroad lines, and have short circuits No. 11 or No 12 are par- ticularly used for short circuits, private lines, police-alarm service and fire alarm lines. So far as the telephone wires are ¢ ne -rned, authorities differ on the question o! dia neter and conductivity. It seems to be admuted that for certain short local lines a tuiu mod- erate conducting wire is compatible with the feeble currents of the telephone. Nos. 12 and 14 of soft metal or low-carbon steel may suffice, but the general advice of experts in the question is that No. 12 iron wire is prefer- able in all respects. The electric resistance is expressed in America and in England by the figure the weight per mile ohm—that is to say, the weight of a mile of wire the resist- ance of which is 1 ohm only, because of the sufficiently large diameter. In order to know the resistance of any other number of wire it is sufficient to divide this constant figure by the weight per mile of this num ber, making due allowance for the increase in weight due to galvanizing. It is known that this adds to the surface of the wire a body equivalent in conductivity to almost double that of the iron. A larger con- ductivity is required in the United States than we use. In reality the police and telegraph lines prescribe for a 4-mm. wire at a temperature 18° Celsus, about It ohms per km.—that is, 17.6 per mile, the weight per meter being 105 grams and the weight per mile 375 pounds. The weight per mile ohm is 6600 pounds, while the limit placed decreases for the same temperature to 4900 pounds on the other side of the At- lantic and in England. This figure depends for every metal essential on its purity. Cests made with steel wire have shown that the lowest resistance 1s found in steels low in carbon, silicon, sulfa and phosphorus. [hese conclusions are contradicted by those made by Schneider & Co., who hold that low carbon little influences the question, and who neglect entirely sulfa and phosphorus. Whatever the facts may be, the following are our figures : Total impurities (C., Mn., P., 8. and Si.) 724 per cent. 479 per cent 0.400 per cent 306 per cent 0.301 per cent Weight per mile ohm 12,365 pounds 10,400 pounds 0.7) pounds *. <i) pounds 6,182 pounds The following is the classification of Washburn & Moen, of Worcester, Mass., for wires to be used for electric service : No. 1.—Extra Best Best [EBB], obtained from Swedish charcoal iron. This iron has the highest conductivity. Its weight per mile ohm is 4600 to 5100 pounds ; its quality is reguiar ; it is very pure, extremely ductile and flexible. A round bar 20 mm. in diam eter shows the limit of elasticity of this metal to be 14 to 14.5. Its tensile strength is 29 to 21 km., with an elongation 20 to 32 per cent., measured the length of 750 mm., and a contraction of area of 71 to 74 per eent. The galvanized wire will bear 34 to 37 km., with 16 to 1g per cent. elongation on a length of 150 mm., and will reguiarly undergo 17 twists on the same length, while the telegraph companies are content with 32 kg. tensile strength, 15 per cent. elongation and 15 twists, No. 2.—The Best Be+t | BB] is less rezular on less soft, but bas a greater resistance, 34 kg | The weight per mile ohm is 5500 to 5800 pounds. It is used ona large scale in the telephone service and almost exclusively by some telegraph companies and by some rail | road lines. No. 3.—Best. This form is applied almost without distinction to all inferior qualit es of wire for electric service which are hardened and less flexible than those preceding. The weight per mile obm is about 0500 pounds No. 4. The Steel This is employed toa limited extent for short telephone service where the conductivity is of less importance and where the main point is to have a very bght and a very strong wire. The weight per mile ohm ia 6600 to 7000 pounds. ‘The same firm also make copper wire. Copper wire, first employed by Morse for the tele graph, was 800n replaced hy iron wire, he cau-e such as was manufactured at that time did not possess sufficient strength for overgrown lines.
