The Oakfield Iron Works, of Manchester, | England, recently turned out some good spec- | jmens of plate-bending rolls, illustrated in the cut on this page. For the engraving and particulars we are indebted to the Vechanical World: [he rolls combine several improvements on the machines of this class usually to be met with. the distance between the standards being 19 feet. The top roll is 27 inches in diameter and the two lower ones Ig inches in diameter ; these latter are fluted from end to end to se cure a better grip of the plates. From the great size of the top roll (the weight being 10 tons) it will be seen that special provisions | must be provided for raising and lowering, otherwise too much effort would be required of the wofkmen. large pans suspended from the end of a suit- able lever underneath the framework of the machine. On the opposite ends of these levers to the pans rest the vertical rods which support the top roll. The leverage is about four to one, so that with a weight of about 1 ton in each pan the roll will be prac- tically balanced. The hand gear for raising the roll is shown in the illustration. The upper roll neck is 10% inches in diameter, and the two lower ones 8 %inches. A special ! feature of the machine is the manner of supporting the rolls in the center by means of three small friction pulleys; these are situated on a strong bridge bolted across the foundation frames of the machine, the latter being deepened in the center, as shown, to take up the strain thus brought upon them. The end frames are of box section 12 inches square, and are braced together near the top by a strong bolt in the center. The friction rollers are 12 inches in diameter and 6 inches wide, having bearings on each side 4 inches in diameter and 6 inches long. For the purpose of supporting the plates under operation, two strong rods are provided running from end to end of the machine, one on each side of the lower rolis; these rods are themselves supported by four vertical brackets ris- ing from the foundations beams, so as to prevent bending. The bed frames are extended beyond the machine proper, as shown on the left side of the engraving, and serve as a foundation for the en- gine ; this plan makes the machine self contained, and much more rigid than would be the case with separate foundations for the engine and rolls, The engine has two cylinders arranged diag- onally, 8 inches in diam- eter and 10-inch stroke, with pistons running at a speed of 300 feet per minute, this speed being reduced by triple gearing to a speed of nearly five revolutions per minute of the rolls, or more accurately a circumferential Velocity of 24 feet per minute. The gearing ‘s exceptionally strong, the three pairs of wheels being 2 inches, 3 inches and 4 inches pitch, and 4 inches, 6 inches and 8 inches wide respeetively ; each of the three pinions is shrouded to the top of the tooth. From the last shaft in the above series each of the ‘ower rolls is driven through a pair of wheels f 20 and 21 teeth respectively, shrouded to the pitch line. Our readers will perceive ‘hat both rolls are driven from the same tod, so that all the gearing is located in the same place, and secures the additional ad- vantage of not having the same amount of “bration and jerking as is experienced When the rolls are driven from opposite ends means of a long shaft traversing the ‘ength of the machine. The illustration rep- resents a double-geared machine, but in other respects the design is identical with ‘he machine just described. a ————_ The gifts which the King of Samoa re- They are 18 feet 6 inches long, | The difficulty has been | met hy balancing this roll by means of two | 24. | | naval station. there. has excited the fears of King Malietoa. a Commercial Museums Continent. on the New York, Thursday, D while another possesses the fine harbor of | Pango-Pango, at which is the United States Large quantities of cocoanut oil and cotton and other products are ex- ported, and German traders are established | It may be some action of theirs that The following report by Messrs.

The second class of museums—or, perhaps, rather, export agencies—of which those at Lille, Stuttgardt and Munich are examples, are permanent exhibitions of articles produced in the coun- try where they are established. Foreign buyers are invited to inspect these collec- tions, and home manufacturers are strictly excluded. This limitation to bona fide for- eigners must, however, often be eluded by stratagem, and there is also the difficulty that buyers, in times of depression especially, will not come to the sellers, but will wait to have goods brought to them. A third class of museums or export agencies intended to meet this state of things has lately been Before proceeding to describe the com- Brus- sels, which we have recently visited by direction of the Foreign Office and the Board! a year to the town of Brussels. of Trade, it may be well to observe that there are two, or rather three, distinct types First, a museum of specimens of raw materials and | | ground floor, but it was secured at a low | price in 1881 by the Belgian Government, | who paid about £10,000 for its purchase and alterations ; they also pay a rent of £420 Furniture | and fittings cost £3000, and the annual amount soted by the Belgian Chambers for its maintenance is about £1000. The founders of the museum, which was started in 1881, had three chief objects in 1, To show the Belgian importer and manufacturer where he could best supply himself with the materials for manufacture a from the place of production; 2, that | the manufacturer should have the best in- | formation as to the goods in use and demand |in foreign countries, so as to enter the field THE OAKFIELD IRON of competition if he saw an opening ; 3, The town of Antwerp, too, had as but this was, of course, rather WORKS, organized and supplied by the Brussels Com- | cost; another department collects and pub- lishes notices of tenders required by all the Belgian public departments, and _ those notified by Belgian representatives abroad The commercial journals in the library also afford much information on this point. No | general notices of home and foreign bank- ruptcies appear to be published in connection with the museum; but Belgian consuls give special information to applicants as to the credit of persons in their districts—of course without a guarantee. The names of the chief houses interested in the trade, of which specimens are exhibited, are also among the particulars furnished to applicants. The prices of goods in the catalogue are stated to include customs duties at the various places ; the collection of foreign tariffs open to the public is, however, not kept here, but at the | Ministére des Affaires Estrangéres. As, however, the Moniteur Belge has printed all the chief tariffs in full, and adds from time to time any changes, a perusal of that pub- lication will usually suffice. We have not yet mentioned the weekly bulletin of the museum This publication acts as a supple- ment to the catalogue, which is only printed once a year, and is constantly changing by the addition of new specimens and the re- moval of others in which the trade has be- come obsolete. The bulletin also contains abstracts from home and foreign consular reports and trade journals, &c., and the MANCHESTER, ENGLAND. | notices of tenders to which we have referred. | ended $2.50 a Year, Including Postage.

The second report |of the Royal Commissioners on Technical Instruction, Vol. I, p. 353, gives some inter- esting details of the Museum of Textile Fab- | rics at Mulhause, which is stated to have | exercised a very beneficial influence on the industry of the locality. It is true that this museum combines the art element with the | purely commercial influence which we have ; been considering at the Brussels Museum, |and this is a very desirable combination, provided that museums for the different branches of industry could be established in the large manufacturing towns, where they | could be in close connection with the schools of design. In France, where the chambers of commerce were consulted two years ago, the majority were in favor of provincial museums subsidized by the State, and this opinion is being acted on. There is, how- | ever, a department in the Ministre du Com merce at Paris where specimens sent home | by consuls may be inspected, and notices of }anything special being received are pub- lished in the Journal Officiel. There is also the Museum of Colonial Products, lately forming part of the Antwerp Exhibition, and this reminds us that, in case it is thought de- sirable to employ our consuls to render the same assistance as is given in Belgium, pro- vision may also have to be made for obtain- ing similar specimens from our colonies, where, of course, there are no British consuls. The same necessity exists for bringing the domestic producer and the dis- tant consumer in_ the colonies into closer rela- tion as in the case of for- eign countries. Our for- eign competitors are on the lookout to secure these markets. It is probable that some of the exhibits in next year’s Indian and Colonial Ex- hibition in London may be available for the formation of such a museum. In conclusion, we would suggest that, having re- gard to the importance of the matter at the present time, it would be advisable to appoint a departmental commit- tee, consisting of re- presentatives of the For- eign, Colonial and India offices, the Treasury and the Board of Trade, to obtain the views of the chambers of commerce, and of other associations and persons interested in foreign trade, as to the propriety of establishing a museum or museums of the kind we have described, and such committee should also advise Her Majesty's Government as to the necessary details of es- tablishment and expense. The following state- ment shows the total quantity and value of the imports into and re-exports from the port of Antwerp in in each of the 10 years 1883, in which a steady increas | | | | which is really a branch of the second, that| The price is 50 cents each number, or 12 | will be noted: the manufacturer should also see the method of packing and getting up goods for export which is in favor in various countries. The | classification of the specimens is by 44 gen- eral groups, which are divided into about | 400 classes, again subdivided by the num- bers of the specimens. For instance, Group | 25, ‘‘ Products of spinning and weaving,” is divided into 15 classes, which include some thousands of patterns, classed under the place where they are used. The explanation given in each instance further states the consul by whom furnished, the country where they are made, their cost and descrip- | spoken of in Germany, viz., a ship fitted up | tion, length and breadth by which sold, &c. as a warehouse which is to take German | Each pre has a number corresponding | similar should be established at Antwerp as with ti tion contains particulars about all the chief | museum to which we have referred above. | goods to the principal trading centers of the world and force a market there. To the | same class belong the stationary collections of patterns which the Germans are reported to be establishing in North and South America.

Visitors who simply walk through | the rooms and inspect the specimens without making any inquiries at the bureau are not | recorded in any way, but we were informed | that about 20 persons per day consulted | the archives of the museum for special in- formation.
