We show on this page a new double end- ess bed surfacer just put on the market by the Bentel & Margedant Company, of Hamilton, Ohio, and embracing a number of valuable features. In endless bed or chain planers, it must be remembered, the whole bed surface, which in other machines resists the feeding move- ment, moves on with the material, bringing it under and past the rotating cutter-head. There is nothing in the device to slip, be cause the very rest or support of the lumber moves along. It is all ‘‘ go.” Notwithstand- ing the advantages of the chain-feed, how- ever, it has not found its way into all shops where lumber is planed, because in many planers of this class the traveling chain-bed or the supporting slides very soon wear out of line, and require expensive repairing, It is interesting, therefore, to note the manner in which this complaint has been over- come in the machine which we illustrate. Referring to the engraving, which shows in the front one of these series of slats compris- ing the traveling bed, it will be noticed that the form and de- sign of the slat is novel, being a slat strengthened by a hollow cored supporting brace starting from the ends and increasing in proportion toward the mid- die, all cast in one piece. One of the ends of the slat shows it with the plate removed, expos- ing a recessed chamber which is filled with cotton fabric for carrying a quantity of lubricat- ingoil. Theotherend of theslat shows this chamber covered by a hard cast-steel plate provided with five holes. The eenter hole is an oil hole, and the four others are for rivets to fasten the steel plates to the slats. Every slatis ‘‘ faced” with a hard cast-steel sliding plate which is removable should there be occasion for it. Every slat carries its own permanent supply chamber of lubricating oil, from which the lubricant is uniformly and automatically discharged when needed, and, being hollow, it equalizes the pressure of the air on the two close-fitting surfaces. The steel plates used are not planed or milled to a uniform thickness, but are of standard sizes and measurements, as found in any steel warehouse, ground to a smooth surface after tempering. The rests for the steel plates are all planed carefully to a uniform hight, so that a renewing can be accom- plished without the assistance of a machinist. All the va- rious sizes of endless bed plan- ers built by the Bentel & Margedant Company have only two supports for the end- less bed, so that an uneven wearing or a rocking motion of the siat or bed cannot take place. The wider planers are supplied with stronger braced slats and broader sliding faces and rails, but all the rails on which the endless bed travels are made in full thickness of the finest tool steel. They are carefully ground by special machinery on the top and bottom to a perfectly true and straight line. Thus arranged they will not cut or wearirregularly, but will soon assume a wearing finish offering only slight resistance to the sliding pressure of the traveling bed. Endless bed planers of this construction have, we are informed, been in constant hard service for the /ast few years, and none of them have required any repairing or renewing on account of abrasion or cut- ting of the sliding surfaces. Three differ- ent sizes of this machine are made to plane 26, 28 and 30 inches wide, The frame of the machine is built very massive and strong, with a broad rest en the floor. The connections and binding braces which hold the two sides together are made especially stro ng and heavy, thus formi an unyielding support for the traveling bed. which remains at a uniform hight for all thicknesses of material. It will be seen that this arrangement of a fixed bed insures free- dom from trembling and jar, as the frame- work of the bed binds the machine firmly to- gether. It also does away with the trouble- some annoyance of raising and lowering the bed for different thicknesses of material and with the unavoidable wear of the bed slides and raising screws and with the rock- ing motion of the bed. It also reduces the work of handling light and heavy lum- ber, as the receiving and di i trestles can be maintained at a uniform hight, doing away with constant readjust- ment. The upper cylinder with its heavy housing raises and lowers on inclined dove- tailed slides, supported by heavy stands, by means of a crank operating through miter gearing on heavy raising screws. It can DOUBLE ENDLESS such an angle as to produce a shearing on | draw cut, thus preventing any splintering or tearing. It is supplied with a driving | pulley of large diameter on each end with | momentum disks. The swinging bonnet | forms at its lower side a well-arranged chip- | breaker, situated very close to the cutting line. It swings very conveniently out of | the way for sharpening the knives and other | purposes. Two heavy-weighted idler rollers | are connected with the cylinder housing, one in front and the other in the rear of the cylinder. The pressure on these rollers can be regulated to suit the requirements of the material, as their office is merely to hold the | material in close contact with the traveling | bed. An adjustable scraper keeps the back | roller free from gum and rosin. For planing strips of irregular thickness the planers are supplied with the Brown differ- | ental sectional] feed roller illustrated in Fig. 3. | It consists of a series of sections, each yield- ing independently of the other to irregulari- ties in thickness. For many kinds of work feed rollers (when provided) are placed in the rear of the lower cylinder. They are 6 inches in diameter, and, as the illustration shows, are very strongly geared with wide, heavy gearing. They are positive and pow- erful in action and quickly adjustable for | variation in material. They are well sup- ported by bracing stands. The lower feed roller, though adjustable independently for hight with the back table of the lower cut- ter head, raises and lowers with the cutter- head and back table. Operators will see the importance of this combination, as much | time and labor are thus saved in establish- ing the relative adjustment of these three important parts, which have a fixed relative adjustment, admitting of quick change for thickness of cut while the machine is in operation. Tbe links of the expansion gear- ing are placed in such a position that they do not twist or retard easy motion. There are four regular changes for the made while the machine is in motion by ii i" Ht iil { LOT te - =~ . ~ > Fig. 2.—Triangular Cutter Cylinder. this arrangement is of importance, as a num- ber of strips can be fed along side by side, regardless of thickness in the rough. The lower cutter cylinder, where more than one cutter-head is employed, is located at the back end of the traveling bed, and is espe- cially arranged for quick adjustment. It rests in a srong combined housing which retains the long self-oiling journal-bearings in accurate line. It raises and lowers upon long vertical slides provided with adjusting gibs, by means of a crank wrench operat- ing through worm gearing on two vertical screws, insuring simultaneous action and easy adjustment. There are two adjustable es, one in front and the other in the rear of the lower cutter-head. The one in| front can be adjusted in line with the trav- eling bed. It is supplied with handles by which the whole table can be swung back out of the way, giving free access to the |head. As already remarked, the housing of the lower cylinder raises and lowers by @ worm and screw device for any re- —_ hight above the first table, and in- ependently of it for any thickness of cut. This adjustment can be accom- plished while the cutter-head is in in oj tion. The table back of the cutter- raises and lowers with the housing, so that it always remains in line with the cut- ting line of the cylinder. This table can, however, be adjusted for hight if necessary, and can also be lifted entirely cut of its bearings without the loosening of bolts or nuts. A resisting pressure-plate of large dimensions ania by combined vertical screws and handles (when nw feed rollers are supplied) holds the material firmly down | when operated upon by the lower head. be a justed for planing material up to 16 | When feed rollers are provided the pressure- inches in thickness. plate adjusts with the rollers, as shown in The cutter cylinders are provided with|the engraving.

This arrangement is important, as it enables the operator to start and stop, or to feed slowly whenever split and cross-grained parts of material are being worked. The weight of the 26-inch machine is 5800 pounds. EEE Important Electrical Decision.—An important decision has just been rendered in the Chancery Division of the High Court of Justice, London, before Mr. Justice North, in the suit of Abraham Van Winkle, of Newark, N. J., U. S. A., vs. William Alex- ander Carlyle, of Birmingham, England. This was a suit for infringement of dynamo electric machines for electro-plating, owned by the said Van Winkle, of the firm of Han- son, Van Winkle & Co., Newark, N. J., and has been some time pending in the English courts, An interim decree for injunction having already been granted, it has now been made absolute, the defendant being re- strained during the continuance of the letters patent or any extension thereof from making or selling an magneto-electric ma- chines under or in accordance with or in violation of the letters patent on which the suit was brought. The plaintiff’s solicitor in this suit was Mr. Frederick Marshall Barton, solicitor to the American consul, Birmingham, the attorneys Messrs. Thomas White & Sons, London ani Mr. Theodore Aston, Queen’s counsel, the eminent patent solicitor being retained. The firm of Han- son, Van Winkle & Co., were the first intreducers of dynamo electric machines in this country, and the above decision is likely to have considerable influence on the sale of their new machines both here and abroad, as this is considered a test suit. A ———— The power exerted by an explosion on surrounding objects is in the inverse ratio of the cube of the distance from the point of explosion. Thus, at 100 feet from the ex- act point of an explosion, the power is only the cube of 1. 100, or 1.1,000,000 part, of what it is at a distance of only 1 foot from that ) point, or, in other words, if the power at I | foot from the spot be represented by 1,000, 000, at the distance of 100 feet it will be but |i. It is thus seen that the effects are in tensely local, and but comparatively trifling | at even short distance. TP Impregnated vs. Natural Samples of Wood. In the excerpt minutes of the ‘‘ Proceed- | Engineers we find results of a series of in teresting experiments made in Germany a | short time ago with impregnated and natu- ral samples of wood. The object of the ex- periments was to ascertain the relative | effect on impregnated and natural pine wood The British War-Ship Benbow. The British man-of-war Benbow, recently completed and now receiving her armament, is one of the six vessels of the Admiral class, so called from bearing the names of six fa- mous admirals—Anson, Collingwood, Camp- erdown, Howe, Rodney and Benbow. They are all barbette ships, the guns being mounted inside a fixed circular breastwork of thick armor-plating, wherein the gun revolves on a turntable, and fires over the breastwork. The barbettes are placed ings’ of the British Institution of Civil | one at each end of the superstructure or ’midship battery, and the guns have each a clear range of 230, viz., from 25° abaft the beam to all round the bow or stern to 25° on the opposite side, and converging upon an object on the broadside at about 50 yards. The Benbow has been chosen as one of the | samples of various treatment, corresponding | six vessels of this class to mount two guns jas nearly as possible to that to which wood | of I1o tons each, one being mounted in each speed of the feed, and changes can also be| paving is subjected. The _ investigations were directed to the following points: 1. Fig 3.—Differential Sectional Feed Roller, BED SURFACER, BUILT BY THE BENTEL & MARGEDANT COMPANY, HAMILTON, OHIO, The effect of acids, urine and liquid horse- dung on impregnated samples. 2. The ef- fect of atmospheric influences on the same. 3. The hydraulic absorption of impregnated and natural samples. 4. Expansion in con- sequence of absorption. 5. Resistance to bending of impregnated and natural samples. 6. Resistance to compression of impregnated and natural samples, The acids used were hydrochloric, sulphuric, nitric and phos- phoric, all with a strength of to per cent. The impregnated samples, after subjection for 14 days to the various substances named, were found, on careful examination with a microscope, to be unaffected by them. Atmospheric influences were artificially produced. The samples were, a, slowly heated in water to boiling point, kept for some time at this temperature, and then suddenly cooled by plunging into cold water; 6 boiled half an hour in a 15 per cent, solution of salt and frequently cooled suddenly during this time ; ¢ boiled half an hour in a 5 per cent. potash solution ; d boiled half an hour in the same solution, with an addition of 1 per cent. sulphide of ammonia; e boiled half an hour in a solu- tion cgntaining 2 per cent. sulphate of iron, barbette; whereas in the other five vessels two guns are carried in each barbette but of 63 tons only instead of 110 tons, These terrible en- gines of warfare would be most destructive in action, and are, in fact, formidable weapons, but in some quarters such enormously large guns are not viewed with much favor. England, in the matter of adoption of such heavy guns, has been following in the wake of Italy. In addition to the two r10- ton guns the Benbow carries a battery of 10 6-inch guns, 12 rapid-firing guns and 14 ma- chine guns, these latter very conveniently arranged for use against torpedo-boats. She isalso fitted with four torpedo ports on the broadside and one through the upper part of the stern, all above water. The Benbow was launched on June 15, 1885, and has since that date been lying near the works for the purpose of receiving her ma- chinery and boilers, and for the completion of the multitudinous fittings of amodern ship-of-war. It would be impossible to de- scribe on paper the character of such fittings, including the pumping, draining and ventilat- ing some 180 separate compart- ments, each compartment being fitted with an automatic valve, where the ventilating pipe or trunk passes through, so that in the event of the water en- tering any one compartment, and rising to the bight of the trunk—the trunk being as- sumed to be possibly damaged —the water would close the valve, and so be confined to the damaged compartment. Some idea of the complication of the gearing in a modern war vessel as fitted in Eng- land may be obtained when we state that no less than 83 water-tight doors and armor deck shutters are fittted in this vessel, in addition to 85 water- tight doors that open and close by hand without gear. The deck plates, to which indicators are fitted, showing when each door or valve is open or closed, amount to no less than 259, in addition to the automatic valves above named, Then, including the main engines, fan en- gines, pumping engines, electric lighcengines, steam steering and capstan engines, there are no less than 40 separate sets, all to be kept in proper going order. The dimensions of the Benbow are as fol- lows: Length, 330 feet; breadth, 63% feet, and depth, 37 feet. ‘The engines, sup- plied by the well-known firm, Messrs. Mauds- lay, Son & Field, are of the three cylinder compound type, of 7500 indicated borse- power, and reaching gooo with forced draft, giving an estimated speed of 16 knots, The Benbow, like other ships of this class, is of the citadel type; this means that the vital portion of the vessel for about half of her length is protected by being included in an iron box armored with 18-inch plates on the side, the top of which at full draft is 2% feet above and 5 feet below water, giving a total depth of 7'4‘feet. The athwart-ship bulkheads forming the two ends of the citadel are 16 inches thick ; before and abaft these there is an armor deck of 3-inch steel plat- ing. Except for this steel deck, which is calculated to shield all below it from the fire of very heavy guns, the ends of the vessel 2 per cent, sulphate of copper, and 10 per | are unprotected, and in a heavy engagment cent. of common salt.

The | dimensions and displacement of the Benbow tests on the bending strength of the samples showed that those impregnated were stronger by about 15 per cent. than the others. The resistance to compression of the impregnated samples was greater by about 22 per cent. than that of the natural samples. Before testing for absorption all the samples were thoroughly dried. The has been done, for in order to provide for the armor deck and additional freeboard of the Nile and Trafalgar the displacement |tonnage has had to be increased by 2000 tons, making them 12,000 tons displacement, instead of 10,000, as in the Benbow, Re- cently steam was for the first time admit- ted into the huge cylinders, when imme- method of impregnation, at the request of | diately the engines in both engine-rooms the manufacturers, is not described. started almost simultaneously, and continued i = i °y THE IRON AGB.

TO RAILWAY AND BRIDGE ENGI- NEERS.—The Gautier Steel Department of Cambria Iron Co., Johnstown, Pa., desires to call the special attention of Engineers to the great superiority of COLD-ROLLED STEEL for Bridge Chord Pins over Turned Iron. Actual experiments demonstrate that the shearing strain of Cold-Rolled Steel is 150 per cent. and the bending strain is more than 200 per cent. in excess of iron. The surface is bright, and sizes are so accurate that no lathe work is necessary. This material is guaranteed superior in strength, accuracy, straightness and finish.
