The Iron Age INDEX TO READING MATTER A PAGE 32 Published every Thursday ol. XXNXVIT: No. 7. y Pipe Cutting and Tarning Lathe. We show in the accompanying illustration | lathe for cutting off pipes and for turning them automatically and simultaneously at oth ends. The machine, which is of Swiss 1anufacture, embraces a number of novel | atures, and the appended description, for which, as well as the engraving, we are in- | ebted to Engineering, London, will accord- ingly be read with interest : The pipes are clamped at each extremity | by means of two self-centering chucks. The ‘hucks are mounted within cast-iron casings, the bottom parts of which are fitted to slide r hifted by hand, according to the length of ipes, by means of acrank and pinion gear- ing into a rack. This rack, which serves also for the carriages; is bolted to the one side of the bed for its whole length. Be- tween the cheeks of the bed there is located the driving-shaft, with a cone-pulley at one end and a pinion at the other end. Two pinions on this shaft, which is grooved | n its whole length, engage the toothed sur- face of the chucks and travel with them, eing held between two collars which are cast into the casing of the chucks. The carriages are self-acting for facework | and for turning, and travel by means of a pinion on the rack mentioned above. All| the necessary gears for the different motions pon the bed of the lathe, and can be easily | of the WILLIAMS, Review Morning by Davip ; l stone of 380 and 335 feet length, making a total length of 1755 feet. It is to be 80 feet wide for passage, with a footway on either side of the roadway, which is to be 50 feet wide. The Commissioners have awarded to the desigu presented by C. C. Schneider, of this city, the first premium. Mr. Schneider was the designer of the cantilever bridge over the Niagara River. The second pre- mium was awarded to W, Hildenbrand, also of this city. - ee - Steam for Canal-Boat Propulsion.* The first application of steam for canal boat propulsion was made by the Duke of 3ridgewater, and Fulton, the American in- ventor, in the year 1799. I cannot find an account in any history of the steamboat, or in any account of Fulton, of his having been in the neighborhood at that time, but it is stated that in 1803 he was experimenting with a paddle-wheel boat on the Seine, and in 1807 his boat, the Claremont, which had paddle-wheels on each side, was at work on the Hudson, in America. I think there is no doubt that the Duke of Bridgewater employed Fulton to construct an inclined plane for the underground canal at Walk- den, which enabled boats full of coal to de- scend to a lower-level canal by means of a windlass and ropes ; their weight caused the Nos. 66 Hardware, Iron and 68 Duane Street, New York. and Metal Trad Entered at the Post Office, New by him in the year 1831, on the use of steam as a moving-power on canals, he gives the results of various experiments, conclusively showing that steamboats designed by him did the work at fully half the cost of similar work done by horses and men under the old system. William Fairbairn’s words, written 55 years ago, are full of prophetic | interest to us at the present moment. His concluding words are: ‘‘In my opinion the field for improvement in canal and river steam navigation appears to be most ex- tensive, and if pursued with proper atten- tion to the disposition of the material, so as to obtain the greatest possible results, no one can limit the great amount of improve ment that can thus be obtained in a few years.” From the year 1855 several attempts have been made on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal to introduce steam towage, and in the year 1879 the company tried a screw steamer with compound condensing engines to tow six 40-ton barges on a river or deep canal ; this was a tugboat and carried no cargo. It was very quickly discovered that it was next to useless on a shallow canal—the section of that particular waterway only averages from 40 feet to 50 feet in width at the surface, with flat sloping sides under water, tapering down to a mid-channel or gutter with an average depth of only 4% feet—inasmuch as with the depth (in mid-channel only) a New York, Thursday, February 18, 1886. | eargo. In conjunction with Mr. Charles White, the company’s engineer, Mr. Wilkin son fitted up one of the barges with engines When tried it was found that it would tow two others very nicely at 2 miles an hour, and in some parts of the canal where the depth is a little greater the speed would rise similar conditions, with only one barge in tow, as high as 34% to 3% miles an hour, but at the latter speed the displacement sets up a rolling wave along both banks which does injury, whereas at 2 to 2'4 miles an hour there is no perceptible disturbance of the water at the sides, and only a very slight disturbance in the center, which is benefi cial, as it keeps the mid-channel well dredged | and maintains a good waterway. The successful working of the first steamer was so great that since that time Mr. Wil- kinson’s firm have fitted some 15 or 16 more | for the same canal, in addition to one for towing through Foulridge Tunnel, 1 mile in length. This tug has both ends alike, with two propellers, one at the bow and one at the stern; likewise a rudder at bow and stern, so that the boat does not require to be turned about at each journey. Prior to the adoption of this tug all barges had to be worked through the tunnel by the men, who laid on their side on the gunwale of the boat, pushing it along with their feet against the tunnel wall, and taking 2 to 2% hours York, as to 2% and 23 miles an hour; and under |} INDEX TO CS ADVERTISEMENTS ia PAGE Second-Class Matter SL.50 a lear, Treluding Tostages Stuyle Coptes, Tern Cents. SS the steaming power. The boats are threaded together by means of wire rope controlled by two cylinders which are self-acting and are under the charge of the man who is steering. By lengthening and shortening the wire ropes on each side of the train ; it can be guided to go to any curve by making it convex or concave, the train hein r left to rise and fall vertically according to any little variation of headline, it is not bound |rigidly in any way. Buffers are attached to the ends of the boats, which havea tendency to bring them back again into line in case of any slight disorganization caused by wind or water, the full control of the train and its 'direction being under the guidance of the steerer. I may say that the boats are made |of iron. Mr. Bartholomew considers this system could not be introduced on many of the canals in England unless larger locks were made, or, as he would prefer, inclined planes to get from one level to another The system isa train of wagons on water, without wheels, and one excellent feature in the arrangement will be appreciated when | state that when the boat-train arrives at Goole there is a large hydraulic lift which each wagon after being caged. After being secured it turns over and dis- charges its cargo into the ship, and in lower- ing the empty wagon half the water of the lift is forced back into the accumulator.

These lathes are built in ferent sizes, either self-acting or by hand. [he one shown will turn pipes up to 15 feet g and 8 inches in diameter, and weighs ‘bout 434 tons. In order to mount the pipes within the chucks they are first suspended their middle portion by means of a ape rhead, and then the chucks may be iped on the ends, introducing the pipe rst into one and moving the other chuck afterward over the other end of the pipe. ‘here pipes in large quantity and of uni- form length have to be manufactured with ed ends, this lathe is very valuable, sav- much time and labor. It remains to be led, with regard to the slides of the ks, that these slides, after being shifted means of the rack and pinion, may be tly clamped to the slide-bars by means | suitable clamps and screws operated by a “reneh, such as shown in the engraving. tool is manufactured by the Werkzeug Maschinenfabrik Oerlikon, near Zurich. a he Harlem Bridge Commissioners ap- ted Wm. J. McAlpin their engineer and ted a plan for the structure, which lves an expenditure of $2,680,000. ently a contract with the Union Bridge was laid before the Corporation Counsel his approval. The parties of the first are the Union Bridge Co., which is posed of Charles Kellogg, of Athens, Thomas C. Clark and Charles Mac- ild, of New York City, and George 5. is and Edmund Hayes, of Buffalo. They e¢ with the Commissioners to construct finish the bridge, including the furnish- of all materials and al] other things essary, to the satisfaction of the engineer. work js to be done and delivered on or re June 1, 1888. The bridge is to be posed of three arches of masonry, each -*0 feet span in the clear, four piers of 50 ‘“st width each, with two abutments of AND TURNING LATHE, BUILT BY empty return boats to be drawn up to the! canal on a higher level, the weight of coal on its way to Manchester (not its heat) being | the motive-power of this system. The Rev. Mr. Egertcn in the year 1800 claimed this system as having been invented by the Duke of Bridgewater himself, but I believe he was mistaken. This work was done in 1794, and it was about this time that Fulton sug- gested the feasibility of propelling boats on the cunal by steam power. In 1799 a steamboat which was nicknamed ‘* The Bonaparte” was completed and set to work in the Bridgewater Canal, but on its first voyage the chimney was found too high for the bridges, and was hinged, so that it could be lowered at will. We are told that it took a large number of 10-ton coalboats to Manchester, but not so quickly as horses. It was found that the flush of water consid- erably injured the canal banks, and experi- ments were then made with paddle-wheels of different shapee, and also with reciprocat- ing duck-feet paddles. After many experi- ments it was decided to return to the old method of hauling the boats by men or mules, and as shortly after the trial there was a breakdown of the aqueduct carrying the canal over the River Mersey, at Stret- ford, the engine was taken out and fixed there for pumping the water out of the foundations during the progress of repairs, land in doing this, as is stated, it soon com- pensated for the outlay in experimenting with the steamboat. In the year 1831 Mr. Fairbairn directed his attention to the use of steam for propel- ling canal and river boats, and, although labor of horses and men could at that time be had af least 30 per cent. cheaper than similar labor now, he advocated the use of steam, and demonstrated its great economy, especially for boats on those canals and rivers which have a free outlet to the sea, because, to use his words, ‘‘such vessels would also be able to extend their voyages to distant parts.” In a pamphlet published *From an annual address to the Manchester (England) Society of Engineers, by President W. H. Bailey. | not be used to utilize the power of the en- THE WERKZEUG UND MASCHINENFABRIK OERLIKON, NEAR ZURICH, SWITZERLAND screw propeller of sufficient diameter could | to travel the mile, whereas the tug tows | 6 miles an hour, is for general merchandise gines without a very great amount of | ** slip” and churning of the water instead of doing useful work ; it was also found that | when the least obstruction took place by meeting other barges near bridges or sharp curves, causing the slowing up or stoppage | entirely of the tug, the barges in tow would (to use the words of my informant) insist on running pell mell into one another, for the simple reason that they could not apply a brake ; and, further, they used to get zig- zagged across the canal in every direction, which often caused a delay of {5 or 20 minutes before all could be marshaled and got under way again. Another attempt has since been made which utilized the power of the engines with more success, Two narrow boats of about 5-foot beam were braced side by side undes one deck, with a longitudinal e of abour 3 feet between each, and in this space wat one paddle-wheel with a long-stroke horizon- tal engine on deck over each boat (two en- gines), driving a crank on each end of the paddle-shaft, set at right angles, and across | the deck stood a locomotive yw each Le c ing its own proportion of the weight o the taller the funnel had to be eons at an | angle of 45°, so as to get under the very low bridges. This steamer towed fairly well | five ges of coal, but caused a great wash in the canal, to the manifest injury of the banks, and was subject to the steering diffi- culties whenever any obstruction took place, which in this canal is frequent, owing to its very tortuous character. In towing a train of five or six barges there was enormous delay in getting through the locks, of which there are no fewer than 93 between Liverpool and Leeds. Mr. W. Wilkinson, of Wigan, having given considerable attention to these difficulties, suggested the utilizing of the ordinary barges as tugs by putting in small engines just of sufficient power to drive a screw propeller as large as could be made available without a large percentage of positive ‘‘ slip,” and, further, to make each tug carry a paying . two and three loaded barges at atime the! same distance (1 mile) in 20 or 25 minutes, the only hands required being the engineer and helmsman. The engine and boiler are placed as far aft as possible. The form of propeller is the result of a very exhaustive and costly series of experiments ; with full- sized ones in actual work it gives the best results in shallow waters. It would not, however, be well adapted for deep-water towage. The helmsman can perform the following duties without leaving his helm— viz., start, stop or reverse the engines, lower the funnel at bridges, blow the whistle, and use the auxiliary steam jet for funnel ; he can also observe the condition of his | boiler, for he has the water-gauge and steam-gauge in full view before him. As to the carrage rates charged by the Leeds and Liverpool Co., they vary from 14d. to 2d. per tom per mile, the lower rate being for minerals, coal, &c., and the higher for manufactured goods. The steamers have conduced much to the punctuality and regu larity of working on the canal. When com pared with horse towage, they have accel erated the speed some 40 percent. The use of steam has also somewhat raised the status of the bargee, it being his ambition to be promoted from a horse-barge to a steamer. It might not be unimportant to state that there is a moral aspect in the change from the old to the new, for, thanks to the definite and regular conditions, the bargee lives in a house with his wife and family, instead of having to live on board, so that the disgrace- ful and wretched conditions of canal-boat | life have been removed. The cost of steamer for 24 hours’ work, towing two barges fully loaded, on the Leeds and Liverpool Canal | amounted to £3. 1/8. Mr. Bartholomew, of the Aire and Calder Navigation, has intro duced a system of a very successful charac ter. A steam tug propels a train of boats, about 10 or 12 in number, each carrying about 40 tons. The boats are 20 feet long, | 16 feet wide and 7 feet 6 inches deep. The advantage in having a tug behind this train of boats consists in the great control of fxd. per ton per mile, but for minerals only rigd. per ton per mile, and this includes taking the empties back There ts a system on the Rhine by which a steel wire rope is used. It appears the rope is taken up over a wheel on the bows and passed through a clip drum, and then drops astern of the tug, a train of boats being brought up behind the tug. There is a similar system on some of the French canals, only a chain is used in a similar manner The use of wire rope for haulage on straight lengths of a canal or river, or very straight tunnel work, has many advantages which will be apparent. The use of a high-class engine and boiler on a tug, with the proper ree of clip pulleys, will no doubt give better results considered from the economical view of the question (that, is on the actual duty obtained from a given amount of fuel) than can be obtained from the use of the very best form of screw propeller or stern paddle-wheels. Experiments on the use of the wire-rope system on the Bridgewater Canal were con ducted some years ago. Its economy was well demonstrated, but where there are bends and turns ina canal, and other traffic, not only in the same direction but, also in | the opposite direction, the wire-rope system on a narrow canal was found to be prac- tically unworkable No doubt for short lengths of a canal, for mines and quarries, where the work is uniform and of a se quent character, there may be merits in the system Mr. Clegram read a paper before the So- | ciety of Civil Engineers in 1866, in which hi results of four years’ working on vester and Berkeley Canal, which is about 80 feet wide. After allowing 1° per cent. for interest and depreciation, he found that the cost of haulage amounted to y;d. per ton per mile, which, when compared with horse-power, gave a sav- ing of two-thirds on the cost. A later he found that with a heavier trade gave the the Glouc . little (Concluded on page 5.) a a rN A ty PO AA AE TR. en ae) "4 ANSONIA BRASS AND COPPER CO., MANUFACTURERS OF PURE COPPER WIRE, For Blectrical Purposes, MANUFACTURERS OF at!
