Steel-Making Ladles. The practice of carrying melted cast iron direct from the blast furnace to the Siemens hearth or the Bessemer converter saves both money and time. It has rendered necessary the construction of special plant in the form of ladles of dimensions hitherto quite unknown. Ladles are also required in steel foundry work, and one of these for the Siemens-Martin process is illustrated by Fig. 1. These ladles are made in sizes to take from 5 to 15 ton charges, or larger if required, and are mounted on a very strong carriage with a backward and forward tra- yersing motion and tipping gear for the ladle. The ladles are butt-jointed, with in- ternal cover strips, and have a very strong band shrunk on hot about half-way in the depth of the ladle. This forms an abutment for supporting the ladle in the gudgeon- | band, being secured to this last by latch- bolts and cotters. The gearing is made of cast steel, and there is a platform at one end for the person operating the carriage or tipping the ladle. Stopper gear and a handle are fitted to the ladles to regu- late the flow of the molten steel from the nozzle at the bottom. Fig. 2 shows a spiegel ladle of the pattern used at Cy- fartha. It requires no description. Fig. 3 shows a tremen- dous ladle con- structed for the Northeastern Steel Co. for carrying molten metal from the blast furnace tu the converter. It holds ro tons with ease. It is an ex- ceptionally strong structure. The car- riage frame is cun- structed throughout of 1-inch wrought iron plates, and is made to suit the or- dinary 4 feet 8% inches railway gauge. The axle- boxes are cast iron, fitted with gun- metal steps. The wheels are made of forged iron, with steel tires and axles. The carriage is pro- vided with strong oak buffers, planks, and spring buffers ; the draw-bars also have helical com- pression springs of the usual type. The ladle is built up of '4-inch wrought- iron plates, butt- jointed, and doubled riveted butt straps. The trunnions and flange couplings are of cast steel. The tipping gear, clearly shown in the en- graving, consists of aworm and wheel, both of steel, which can be fixed on tither side of the ladle as may be de- sired. From this it will be seen that Messrs. Stevenson « Co, have made a thoroughly strong Structure in every respect, and one, therefore, that will commend itself to most steel-makers. We understand that these carriages are made in various designs and sizes to meet special requirements. Thus, Fig. 4 shows one of different design made for a steel worksin the North. This is also a large ladle. The carriage is supported on helical springs and solid steel wheels. It will readily be understood that very great care and honesty { purpose are required in making these struc- tures.

It is for their benefit that the Lon- ‘on Engineer publishes the following arti- Cle ‘ question generally presented runs like In a compound engine with two cylin- ‘ers and an intermediate receiver the steam = CUt off at tive-eighths of the stroke in the “84-pressure cylinder and three-fourths in ‘he low-pressure, What is the total expan- on! Now, to begin with, such a question * Qcomplete, and cannot be answered at all. In no case can the total expansion in a com- pound engine be known unless the capacities of the cylinders are also known. The capac- ities of the cylinders and the point of cut- off in the high-pressure cylinder being given, it is very easy to calculate the total expansion. The point of cut-off in the low- pressure cylinder and the intermediate re- ceiver have nothing at all to do with the matter. All the steam sent into the engine at each stroke has ultimately to fill the low- pressure cylinder. Therefore, we have only to divide the capacity of the low-pressure cylinder by the capacity of the space in the high-pressure cylinder, which is filled with steam at the moment the cut-off valve closes, in order to obtain the ratio of expansion. To make this statement quite clear, we will state a case for the sake of illustration : A double-cylinder compound marine en- | gine has a high-pressure cylinder 30 inches in diameter, a low-pressure cylinder 56 inches in diameter and a stroke of 3 feet. Steam of 90 pounds pressure is cut off at 0.6 of the stroke in the high-pressure and at 0.8 | the low-pressure piston it will commence to | to regulate the amount of work done re- spectively in the two cylinders, but neither the one nor the other can alter the ratio of totalexpansion. After the engine has started the pressure will rise and fall in the inter- mediate receiver within well-defined limits at each stroke. Its presence will reduce the initial pressure in the large cylinder and eie- vate the terminal pressure. It plays the part, in short, of a large clearance space, and that is all. To make this point quite clear, we may proceed in another way. Assuming that the initial pressure is 105 pounds absolute, the weight of a cubic foot of steam will be 0.2414 pound; therefore 16,560 inches will weigh 2.317 pounds. Do what we will, this weight | of steam must be passed through the engine per stroke. At the end of the stroke of the small piston its delivery into the intermedi- ate receiver will commence, and by the end |of the return stroke it will all have been | passed into the receiver. On the other hand, with the beginning of the stroke of Fig. 1.—Ladle for Siemens-Martin Process We have neglected in our calculation the effects of compression. But it will be under- stood in a moment that the only way in which this can affect the question is by re- | | filed in the case of the Hartford Machine ducing the quantity of steam withdrawn from the boiler at each stroke. If the com- pression is just sufficient to fill the clearance with steam of the boiler pressure, then clearance may be regarded as eliminated, and the ratio of expansion will be aug- The Patent on the Spencer Machine for Making Machine Screws The decision of Judge Shipman recently | Screw Co. vs. Reynolds & Co. is one of un usual interest and importance. The patent involved is reissued letters patent number | 9290, dated July 13, 1880, to C. M. Spencer, mented, because a less weight of fresh steam | will be delivered into the intermediate re- ceiver and thence into the low-pressure cylinder at each stroke. In the same way we have entirely neglected the effect of cyl- inder condensation, which will be virtually to augment the ratio of expansion, because a smaller weight of steam than that de- livered to the high-pressure cylinder will be found in the low pressure at the end of the stroke. But, be the weight small or great, it must fill the cylinder. The gap between the two diagrams does not affect the ratios of expansion, except in so far as it is due to condensation. Apart from this it has no Fig 2.—Spiegel Ladle. Figs. 3 and 4,—Ladles for Carrying Molten Metal from Blast Furnace to Converter. in the low-pressure cylinder. What is the ratio of expansion! The stroke is 36 inches, and 0.6 of this is 21.6 inches. Allowing for the cut-off not being quite sharp, we shall call this 22 inches in round numbers. The area of a 30-inch piston is 707 inches nearly, and 707 X 22 = 15,554 cubic inches. Add- ing to this 354 cubic inches for clearance, and, say, 650 inches for port space filled, we have a total in round numbers of 16,560 cubic inches of steam supplied at each stroke. Now, assuming that no condensa- tion takes place, the whole of this steam must ultimately find its way into the low- pressure cylinder at each stroke and fill it. The area of a 56-inch piston is 2463 inches. Allowing, as before, % inch for clearance, we have 2463 X 36.5 = 89,899.5. Adding the port space, we shall have a total of 90,500 cubic inches which must be filled with fresh steam at every stroke—this is assuming that no compression takes place, a point to which we shall return presently. Dividing 90,500 by 16,560, we have 5.46 to 1 as the ratio of expansion. It will be seen that we have taken no account of the pres- ence of an intermediate receiver or of a cut- off valve on the low-pressure cylinder, nor is it necessary that we should. The effect of the first is to modify the initial pressure in the low-pressure cylinder, and of the second LADLES FOR STEEL be drawn out of the receiver, and it must all have been drawn out at the time the low- pressure cut-off valve closes. If it was not all drawn off, then the pressure in the re- ceiver would rise continually as the engine ran, until no exhaust from the high-press- ure cylinder could take place. If more were drawn off, then at last a point would be reached at which a vacuum would exist in the intermediate receiver. Both assumptions are absurd. Therefore it is clear that the | intermediate receiver has no more to do with , determining the total range of expansion than has the steam-pipe which conveys steam from the boiler to the engine. We can use the figures we have given above to check the accuracy of our statements. We have said that the total expansion under the circumstances stated would be 5.46 to 1. Now, at = 19.2 pounds, That will be the 4 terminal pressure in pounds in the large cyl- inder, and 20 cubic feet of steam of this pressure weighs within a minute fraction 1 pound. We have seen that the quantity of steam passed through the engine per stroke is 2.317 pounds, and 2.317 X 20 = 46.34 cubic feet. Allowing for the use of round ;numbers and abbreviated decimals, this corresponds with the capacity of the low- | pressure cylinder, MANUFACTURE It is due to the equalizing actien of the intermediate bearing whatever on expansion. receiver. The effect of the cut-off valve on the low-pressure cylinder is solely to main- | tain the average pressure in the intermediate | receiver higher than it would be without it, | and therefore to reduce the power developed | in the high-pressure cylinder by augmenting | back pressure. Whether the steam is or is not cut off in the low-pressure cylinder dur- ing the stroke, the same weight of steam must find its way at each stroke into the low-pressure cylinder. If less space in the |large cylinder is allowed for the reception | of steam, then the pressure will augment in | proportion. Thus, if the cut off took place in the low-pressure cylinder when the piston had made about 6% inches stroke, the re- | ceiver pressure would be identical with that | in the boiler, and the high-pressure cylinder | would do no work whatever. But the ratio of expansion would be still 5.46 to 1. EE The Plymouth Consolidated Gold Co. sends us its annual report for 1885. It isa con | solidation of the Empire, Amador, Pacific |and Plymouth companies in California. Since | the reorganizatien, June 1, 1883, the com- |pany has produced $2,441,216.29 in gold, | and paid out $1,525,000 in dividends, | | to be impossible, assignor to the plaintiff company, for an automatic machine for making machine screws. This machine is a very ingenious and important one, and is destined to work as great a revolution in machine-screw mak ing as was wrought in the art of wood-screw making by the introduction of automatic machinery. The plaintiff company have sev- eral hundred machines working in Hartford, and several hundred more are being operated in this and foreign countries by their licensees. The machine may be described generally as an automatic machine for making screws one after another upon the end of a long metal rod, which is fed intermittantly into the machine. The invention of Spencer extends to the en- tire mechanism by which a machine for feeding a rod in the intervals be- tween the fashioning operation is made automatic. This general statement will disclose to per- sons acquainted with the art of screw -making a general idea of the great importance of Spencer’s improve- ment, It may said generally that Spen- cer’s invention is threefold, consisting be first: In the mech- anism for feeding and rotating the rod; 2, in the de- vices for fashioning the screws, and, 3, in the severing mechanism. All these are automatic and one attendant can oversee the working of a num- ber of machines. The suit just decided related specially to the automatic feed ing and rotating mechanism, consist- ing of a friction feed-tube within the mandrel of the ma- chine in combina- tion with the man- drel itself, and cer- tain jaws and cams ingeniously con- trived so as to time the several motions of the feed with reference to the work to be done by the fashioning and severing mech anisms. There is also in the bination a jaw-clos ing sleeve, and the controversy, 80 far as infringement was concerned, related to the location of this sleeve The defendants claimed that in their ma chine the sleeve be ing on the outside of the mandrel, in- stead of within the mandrel,there could be no infringement. The court held this claim to be unten- able, and construed the plaintiff's patent 80 as to cover the feed combination, whether the jaw-closing sleeve was within or with out the mandrel. The defense also claimed that the reissue was void for expansion and that the invention was anticipated. The proof to the contrary was, however, over whelming in its nature, and both claims were decided by the court adversely to the de fendant, against whom the court ordered an injunction and an account. The Hart ford Machine Screw Co. aside from being the owners of the Spencer principles, which may be described as the monitor or revolving turret system, are also owners of the original Curtiss patents, the Stehli or Swiss invention of a later date, and others for the making of screws automatically, which give them control of all the popular forms of screw machines made automatic, and to construct a machine without conflict- ing with some of their patents would seem We understand that other suits will immediately be commenced under these various patents. ©.

Laurel G. in trust for the use of a bank in which he, P., was an officer, to prevent his prosecution for embezzlement of its funds, and for acon- spiracy to defraud it, for which he stood in- dicted. The prosecution was abandoned, as agreed, and a civil suit for the money was settled also upon the same condition.

The offenses charged in the indictments are of a very high grade, much more detrimental to the common weal than many of the lower grades of felony. As officers of an
