In this case the study. Following this line of inquiry, the tionary machine in the shops, because by drilling in place a single operation serves to drill through all the superposed thicknesses without stopping the drill, whereas when the pieces are separate, as in the shop, as many separate drilling operations are re- quired as there are pieces, and the work consequently involves much more labor and time. Basides effecting considerable sav- ing, this mode of drilling in place presents also the great advantage of insuring that the holes are quite true through all the super- posed thicknesses, without having been pre- viously set out on each separate piece, and thus all such preparatory work is dispensed a flexible shaft, as in Figs. 1 to 3, the driving-sbaft making 90 revolutions per minute; the sockets of the drill-holder, and of the flexible shaft No. 8, which can be fixed to it, are identical with those of a No. 4 Morse twist drill, and consequently fic the conical shanks of the twist drills from 17, to 2 inches in diameter. The smaller machine is of % borse-power, and drills boles up to 1% ioches in diameter, either directly or through a flexible shaft, the driving shaft making 150 revolutions per minute; the sockets of the drill-holder, ‘and of the flexible shaft No. 6 which can be used with it, are idemtical with those of a to give the feed while drilling or to with- | draw the drill when the hole is finished. A | longitudinal slot, R, for the key of the bevel | pinion Q allows the drill spindle to slide | through the pinion while the latter is kept | in plece by an annular recess, E. Beyond | the hand-wheel V the screw terminates in a | point, which can be pressed against a cross: | piece or frame, such as is used for drilling | with a ratchet-brace. The central part of | the frame C is bolted to the flange of the motor M, and thus forms a long bearing for the shaft A, and smal! closed lubricators in- sure the bearing being properly oiled in whatever position the drill may be held. drill-spindle B has no longitudinal movement, the feed of the drill being given at the other end of the flexible shaft, by means of the screw belonging to it. Owing to the great importance of reduc ing toa minimum the weight of these port- able machines, so that they may be shifted as easily as possible from hole to hole, they are made entirely of steel and phosphor- bronze. By this means the weight of tke whole machine complete, including the two stop-valves for inlet and outlet, does not exceed 105 pounds for the 1 horse-power drill and 62 pounds for the '%4 horse-power. Trials made for a lengthened period have Senator was given to understand that the shipping interests of Great Britain are in a state of decline, and that none of the great lines between New York and Liverpool are making any money. The reason of this, he has found, is the excessive competition of the German, Italian and of what is known as the tramp line of steamers. Excessive competition has cut down the profits of all ocean traffic. The wages of seamen in Ger- many and Italy are also much lower than in England. Mr. Frye has always been against any free shipping measures. He expects to find abroad new material for the support of his favorite theories. eine ee ee eee ere eee ee ae La ew oe ete fieedeadicleen nd 0 tint aie CS PAM?
