New York, Thursday, June 16, 1887. atid aed Sua Ga { fae this process has been perfected from a very large number of costly and difficult experi- ments. Much trouble was experienced at first in annealing the castings, and for a considerable time many did not turn out satisfactorily, but now that the firm has gained a greater experience in this, by no means casy, process, their castings appear to supply the want of cheap small castings with a higher tensile strength than ordinary cast iron. Hyatt’s Circulating and Filtering Plant for Steam Boilers. In our issue of May 12, 1887, we pre- sented details of a circulating and filtering plant for steam boilers, designed by Mr. J W. Hyatt and built by the Newark Filtering Company, of Newark, N. J. In connection with that subject, the engravings which we publish this week, illustrating a modified de- 4 C w sign, will prove of interest. We will briefly WATER LINE < Z WATER UNE rm repeat here that Mr. Hyatt’s designs call for e: — a system of pipes through which the water yc Cc | arene from the boiler constantly circulates, and in aida Soopevensrreched ache staan Mr. D.

The pipe B conducts the feed ‘ : i] cable road in operation and under construc- i | F tion. January 1, 1887, there were 116 miles water to the pump A, whence it is forced. together with the circulating water from the boilers, through the pipe D into the filter, entering at the top. The mixture percolates down through the filtering material, and passes through the pipes E and F into the boilers. The circulating water, which is taken from the boilers on a level with the second gauge-cock, flows through the pipe C under boiler pressure until it reaches the reducer H. There the pressure is brought additional in operation and under construc- tion, making a total of 152% miles, and from present indications it is fair to assume that at Jeast 100 miles will be added to the above figure during the ensuing year. The following summary is given of cable roads in operation and under construction in the various cities in the United States: Chi- cago—20% miles in operation since 1882 and 22 miles under construction.

San Francisco—33 miles in operation, some of it since 1876, Several miles of road have recently been put in operation in Melbourne, Victoria, and about four years ago a road was built in New Zealand. In 1884, 2 or 3 miles were constructed in London, England. Mr. Miller gives an estimate of the cost of cable roads for 24 miles, everything in- cluded ; 24 miles road-bed complete, paving in- retained. The filtered water then enters the boilers, where by concentration and high temperature all the carbonates and sul- phates yet remaining in solution are com- pletely separated, and, before they have time tosettle on the interior surfaces of the boilers and form scale, are carried off by the circu- lating water to the filter, as just described. A by pass is formed by the pipe I, so that the filter may be cut out without interfer- ing with the feed of the pump A.

The casting D is riveted to the inside of the cylinder, and connects with the outlet-pipe. The outlet screens H are made by winding copper wire spirally on a per- forated pipe. The filtering material is in- troduced through a 2% inch tap hole, G, in the upper head. In order to wash the filter the valves L and K (Fig. 1) are closed and the valves M and N opened. Water will then pass from the pipe B through the pipe O, and enter the filter at the buttom through a check-valve, issuing from the per annum at 5cents, The excursion traffic being a large item with all cable roads, we will allow 25 days during the year in which 20,000 passengers will be carried, making 500,000, leaving 2,159,060 passengers to be carried in the remaining 340 days, which gives us 6350 passengers per diem. If 75 per cent. of this number, or 2000 per mile per day, can be calculated upon with a horse road, it will be perfectly safe to invest in the cable system, owing to the increase.

While washing, the arm is turned slowly by means of a hand wheel, M, on top of the filter, the motion being communicated to it through a shaft, N. After the filtering material has been properly cleaned, the asbestos plug cocks in the waste-pipe and in pipe C are closed, and those in the inletand outlet pipes are opened. Filtration may then be resumed as before. The design which we have described is to be used only when the feed-water is not ex- tremely hard, and when it flows to the pucop under at least 1 pound pressure. The pump should run continually at double the speed necessary to feed the boilers, or should pense covers officers’ salaries, pay of em- ployees, taxes, and, in fact, every item of expense connected with the operation of the road. It must be borne in mind that the estimate given above covers the expense of making 435 round trips every 24 hours.
