Bliss Company, of Brooklyn, ; 8 ; N. Y., to be used in cutting thin sheet-iron disks, and its arrangement embodies a num- ber of interesting features. Fig. 1 represents a general view showing | a die in position to be ground. A lengthy | description is practically unnecessary, as | there is nothing complicated about the ma- | chine, and the illustrations sbow very clearly | the more important details. Referring to | the diagram (Fig. 2), however, it is proper | to point out that the punch or die A, for the grinding of which the machine was built, has four % inch projections, so as to give a shear cut. To allow for this in grinding the arrangement shown in Fig. 2 has been adopted. The miter-wheel D is driven by the arbor of the three-cone pulley, shown in Fig. 1, and the sizes of the different wheels are such that one revolution of the wheel B gives four revolutions to the wheel C. This wheel acts through an adjustable crank, E, giving to the screw F a slow reciprocating motion. The screw directly controls the motion of the emery- wheel G, and, owing to the to-and fro mo- tion which it gives the carriage moving on the ways H H, it causes to be ground on the cutting edge of the punch four long regular waves, the projecting points for a punch about 10% inches in diameter measuring about % inch from the bottom of each de- pression. The depth of depression, of course, varies for different sizes of gers and the adjustability of the crank E, which is readily understood from the cut, permits any desired variation. The emery-wheel G is mounted on a com- ponnd rest, so that it can be set at any angle and fed in any direction. The die (as shown in Fig. 1) is plane and does not have the pomts and depressions. When the die is put on the face plate to be ground the connecting-rod J is detached and the emery- wheel is fed by hand use of the screw F to its proper place. It will then produce a plane cutting edge. The face-plate and feed are such that dies of any diameter from 2% inches to 20 inches can be ground. EE A Georgia Coke Furnace. dee Say ‘ ts iM i Wi i im yi PM " \ Sed an a AAA I was about to state that the only iron furnace using coke for fuel in the State of Georgia was that of the Cherokee Iron Com- ny, at Cedartown, but I forgot that the ar-off county of Dade has not only another, but one of the best in any region. How- ever, the furnace of the Cherokee Iron Company was the first in the Southern States to be. changed from charcoal to coke. In fact, it was the only one to be so changed withoutan almost entire rebuilding. Biff Fur- nace formerly ran on charcoal, but it has been nearly rebuilt to go into blast on coke. There are many others thinking of the change, but where to get the coke has been the problem, and from the fact that the owners of the Cherokee Furnace boldly en- tered the Coosa coalfield with a railroad, and still more boldly made the coke and used it in their stack, the experiment there being tried and the operations of this furnace are looked to with much interest. Capt. A. G. West, formerly of Hartford, Conn., was one of the first Northern men who came South after the war to recon- struct the ruined furnaces and rebuild them in the newer ideas. For many years Captain West was the superintendent of the blacksmiths’ shops of Colt’s Armory, and first invented and used the system of drop forging. Later he was a contractor under the United States Government. After the war he determined to engage in the manu- facture of iroa in the South, and became one of a party of capitalists who purchased the Shelby Furnace property. Captain West, desiring a change of climate, became superintendent, and after several years of experience there sold his interest in that property and returned to the North. Later he came South and selected Cedartown as the most eligible site for a modern sized charcoal furnace. The place was selected because in the vicinity are large bodies of rich limonites, and then there were un- broken forests of yellow pine many square | As a furnace constructor, all admit that miles inextent. The site selected, Captain | Major Dowd has no superior. Citico, built by West first erected a flour and grist mill of | him, is a model in arrangement and com- the most approved style, run by water- | pactness, and Captain West says he is the power, the dam on the stream being of | only man in whose charge he is willing to hewn stone, and was looked upen by the | jeave the furnace and feel sure that all will country people as a model of folly and ex- | go on right. Major Dowd remodeled the travagance. It is true that the means of | stack to its present shape, 13 feet bosh and Captain West and his partners were large, | 60 feet high, with a capacity of 5000 cubic but he calculated well.

Two bat- teries of double cylinder flue boilers are held in reserve in case of accident to the other, as is also the blast engine formerly used in the charcoal furnace. furnace and its stack outside of fuel. quality of the latter was the question. After remodeling, the blast was commenced on coke from the Ragland seam.

The furnace was run direct from the Ragland coke on to Glen Mary; the re sult was immediately apparent. In a three days’ run on that coke an average of a little over 55 tons of pig per day was prcduced, which was analyzed by Britton as follows : Iron.. 4 94.616 DR ar. ow aeae : 1.926 Phosphorus. . : aye , 0.251 Graphitic carbon cae bi 2.703 i NN ep chianmenanal 0.310 This pig iron was made, even in that fur nace, with its low temperature of blast, on 68% bushels of Glen Mary coke to the ton, and the gas furnished was ample for the boilers without any airing under them. It ranked full No. 1 foundry, and was sold to be made into Bessemer steel It took 1) tonsof Ragland totheton. The furnace was then, are the equipments of this | then thrown back on to Ragland coke, and The the iron rapidly changed to mottled and white. It is plain that the fault was in the coke, and whether that fault is in the coal itself, and impossible to eradicate, or in the careless washing, will be discussed in a fu ture paper on the ‘‘ Prospects of a Coking Coal in the Coosa Coalfield.” At the present it is sufficient to say that there are two seams now known in the Coosa coalfield, called the ‘‘ Ragland seam” and the ‘‘ Broken Arrow.” The latter, a good 4-foot seam, is for some reason but little mined, and some of that little has been coked and tried in | the Cherotee Furnace by itself alone. The | result was that even in only a two-days’ run the iron changed to a good No. 2 foundry, thus plainly showing that even with the same coking as the other the Broken Arrow would make a good furnace fuel. At the same time the Ragland has been proven to be a good steam coal In the Cherokee Iron | Messrs. A. G. West, W. C. Browning, C. F. | Browning and John Hull Browning. The }same gentlemen own the East and West | Railroad of Alabama, and operate the Coosa Coal Company. The railroad was originally built from Cartersville to Rockmart, Geo., part wide and part narrow gauge. When | Captain West first put the furnace in blast he hauled all his supplies from and iron to | Peters Station, on the now Alabama Division of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia Railroad. He soon saw the necessity of better communication, and bought the above railroad, changed the whole to narrow guage and extended it first to |Cross Plains, Ala., and then on to Broken Arrow, in the Coosa Coalfield, and in a short time it will be extended to Birmingham. Major T. J. Nichols, formerly of the Chicago and Northwestern Railroad, is the general manager of the railroad, and takes great interest in the development of the resources of this region. The road when changed to standard gauge and extended to Birming- ham will be one of the most valuable in the South. The president of the Iron Company is Capt. A. G. West; of the railroad, W. C. Browning, of New York City ; of the Coal |Company, E. F. Browning, also of New | York, while John Hull Browning is treas- urer of all the companies. While there is now an apparent cloud hanging over the use of coke in this furnace, it is certain that | Captain West will probe the trouble to the bottom, and will find where the cause ex- ists. In this he could have no more valu- able assistant than Major Ed. Dowd, and those interested personally, as well as those desirous of facts from a scientific stand- | point, may be certain that those facts will eh fully developed in the future. As for Company are the views of your correspondent, apd the conclusions he has and shall arrive at, as stated, they will appear in a future number io The Iron Age, 4M, E. co. LL Melting Steel with Natural Gas. At the Wayne Iron and Steel Works, in | Pittsburgh, may be seen the latest improve- 'ment in the way of a crucible furnace for steel melting with natural gas. The fur- | mace in question is about 27 féet long by about 12 feet 6 inches wide, and is a re- | versible draft structure with regenerative | chambers at each side. It is divided in its |} main chamber into six divisions or cham bers, each of a size to properly admit six crucibles of No. 70 size, making 36 pots in heating at once, and each six-pot chamber heing covered by a three-part fire-brick cover, which allows the lifting of a single pot without the uncovering of the others in the same snall chamber. There is | nothing of this furnace below the ground line but its foundation walls, the regenera | tive chambers being at the sides, the full length of the furnace, but not quite so high. A platform for the workmen is level with 'the furnace top. There are six ports to each chamber, three at each side, through | which the heated air and natural gas are | admitted, the latter through a %-inebh noz- zle at each port. The gas company’s gauge shows a pressure of 2 ounces sufficient for the proper operation of the furnace. Econ- omy does not compel the working of the entire six chambers; part of the whole number can be worked and the balance re- mainidie. Air is admitted at one end of the furnace for both regenerative chambers, and two very plain round valves, to be | raised and lowered alternately and operat- ing in connection with two dampers, regu late the air admitted and its reversal. It is just here that mention should be made of the crucible used at there works Usually crucibles are deemed to have given a proper duration when five or six heats have made in each. The practice at the Wayne Works is to use a mixture of plumbago (old crucibles), silicon (white send is the form employed), and kaolin water. This is made into a semi-fluid wash, and sufficient is poured inside of a crucible, which, when the latter is given a quick turn by an expert boy, around the inside and makes a layer just replacing the worn- away part. This is only done when the been flows crucible shows a certain degree of worn inner surface, and the practice is to con sider that each must yield a service of eight heats. Patents on the furnace, as wellas on the crucible wash, were granted to Mr. John Pedder, the superintendent of the works 1 aia eee so aliieeeeenttininens aman - _ mee Se ee ll _— ea ee ee A Set ain ms P SS See - oe -~- i es TT H E I R oO N - G HH : October 28, 1886, THE PLUME & ATWOOD MF6.CO.| WASHBURN & MOEN MANUF’G Co, MANUFACTURERS OF Worcester, Mass., New York City, Chicago.

Price liste on application, J. B. M. Hirons, | Agents for sampling ores ip New York and Employers’ Liability in Europe. The English Government has gathered through its representatives in different countries some interesting information con- cerning the laws in force to regulate the liability of employers to compensate work men injured in their service. The following is a summary of these reports as they re- late to leading countries on the Continent : In France the employers’ liability is regulated by common law, there being no special legislation with regard to it. The common law is formulated in tke Civil Code, and under it employers are, like all other | persons, held liable for injuries which have occurred through their own fault or have been caused by their servants in the per- formance of the functions for which they have been employed The fact that a workman has been injured through the act of a fellow-workman does not relieve the employer from liability, but it is for the judge to consider all the circumstances of the case to determine what amount of re- sponsib
