The Arendt Punching Machine. The want of a good hand punch for beams, channels and other shapes has often been felt in the handling of architectural iron- work, The engraving which we present showing a machine of this kind will there- fore no doubt prove interesting. It is very simple in design, can readily be moved about from place to place, and, from what we have seen of it, is capable of performing very satisfactory work. It operates on the lever principle, as the illustration very clearly shows, a long leverage being provided for. The hand lever at the extreme left is pivoted to the lower part of the frame of the machine, power being transmitted from it to the lever which is in direct connection with the punch, by means of the left-hand rack. This rack, it will be noticed, is pivoted at its lower end to the hand lever, | and will freely move upward with it. On| the return stroke, however, it engages with | a pawl fitted to the main lever and forces | the latter, and through it the punch proper, | downward. On an average three or four down strokes are required to bring the punch through the work. On each upward | stroke of the hand lever the main punch lever is held down at approximately the point | to which it had previously been brought by | the right hand rack. This, it will be un- derstood, is so arranged relatively to a second pawl that it will readily permit | downward but not upward travel of this | lever. By means of the hand lever shown at the top of the machine, the punch | can be easily and quickly brought back to the limit of its up-stroke. The work operated upon can be moved along on rollers, as shown, arranged on a saddle supported by the frame. ~ By turning the two cranks at the top of the machine this saddle, and of course with it the rollers, can be raised or lowered according to the re- quirements of any special piece to be punched, The machine will punch holes up to 1% inches in diameter in 20-inch steel beams. It is of German design, and is put on the market here by Messrs. Charles G. Eckstein & Co., 32 Liberty street, New York. OO Morbid Anatomy of Ships. The Londen Engineer discusses in an inter- esting manner causes of loss at sea, which bave been given comparatively little atten- tion. Every one knows, stays our contem- porary, that ships built of wood are very liable to ** spring a leak ;” and many sup pose that, because this is the case, a similar | misfortune might as reasonably befall an iron or steel ship. That vessels built of iron and steel do occasionally spring a leak is | only too true, but the circumstances which lead to such a defect are totally distinct, from those which lead to leakage in a wood ship. The leakage in the latter might be due to decay in the caulxing, or to starting a butt by straining; but neither of these | causes should be looked to in order to ex plain leakage in an iron or steel ship. The} caulking of the latter should rather be im- | proved by the corrosion which increases with the vessel’s age ; while if sheis strained at all so as to admit water, then something | more serious than a leak might be expected | to result. So rigidly are the parts of an iron or steel ship united to each other that no water can be admitted into her by straining without rivets being sheared or plates torn, and if either of these events occurred the foundering of the vessel would soon follow. It is notalleged that casualties of this kind have never occurred, for un- fortunately the contrary is the case; but such a disaster can in nowise be attributed to the effects of age, wear and tear, such as) will sometimes account for the destruction of a wood ship’s fastenings. When an iron | or steel ship founders through straining the | loss is due either to weak construction or bad workmanship. As a general rule, then, | whenever such a ship is reported to be leaky, it may be averred that straining is not the cause ; for when straining produces a leak it produces a fracture also, and a fracture | will in most cases result in total loss. In| saying this it is not implied that an iron or! steel ship is never submitted to undue| stresses, or as to be, technically, wtieaa| Butts of plating do, no doubt, at times show indications of movement when examined in| a graving dock, and such movement may occasionally be due to undue tensile stresses ; | although in most cases they result simply from local flexibility. But to suppose that water has ever passed through such butts into the vessel without the cement on the inside of the plating being disturbed is, of course, wholly out of the question. Despite these common-sense necessities of | the case, it is not unusual to come across reports of iron and steel vessels—especially steamers—having suddenly srrung a Jeak, ana been therefore abandcned by their crews. In such cases it has been often as- sumed that the loss was due to straining, whereby a butt or other joint was opened in the bottom plating, and this, too, under circumstances such as the lost vessel and others similar to her had previously encoun- tered successfully. Now, whatever may be the real causes of these disasters, there ean be no doubt that they are at the root) of a large vroportion of those casualties regarding which no evidence is attainable in consequence of the loss of all on board. No better means can be afforded for the solu- tion of this problem than the frequent ex- amination of iron and steel vessels when | in graving dock. Some of the phenomena witnessed upon such occasions are painfully suggestive of the causes of many losses at | sea which are never heard of. The par- ticulars of two or three of these, without mentioning the name of ship, locality, or date of incident. will perhaps be of interest and profit in the consideration of this impor- tant subject. The first case is that of a new iron ship which arrived in a home port after a voyage of about three or four months’ duration, in a very leaky condition, so that she had to be kept afloat with steam pumps while her cargo of raw sugar was being dis- charged. Subsequent examination showed that inferior cement, largely adulterated with ashes, had been cut up by rivets, bolts cement is generally insisted upon by Lloyds’ Surveyors, but during the time that an iron or steel sailing ship is usually absent from the United Kingdom or a European port, a great deal of mischief may take place below the close ceiling without the same being suspected by those on board. Cases sometimes occur in which a rivet, nut or small bolt continually rolling from side to side in a frame space, has been found to have not only cut through the cement, but also to have scored a deep groove in the gar- boards, while instances in which the rivet heads in butt straps and plate laps have been wholly or nearly worn away are not at all uncommon. When one comes across a phe- nomenon of this kind the importance of one extended through the plate. If this vessel had, however, been making a some what longer voyage, soas to admit of many holes being corroded through the plating, then abandonment would have been neces sary, and in that case the survivors would | doubtless have persisted in asserting that |she really ‘‘sprang a leak by straining.” | If the crew had taken to the boats, and the | latter had been swamped, so that no one | survived, this would have been another of | the missing ship mysteries, which are ex | Plained in the Wreck Courts as being due to well decks, overlading or an inflammable coal cargo. | In the case just considered the leakage was clearly traceable to two acts cf neglect THE ARENDT PUNCHING MACHINE, FOR BEAMS, CHANNELS AND ARCHITECTURAL IRONWORK, and pieces of wood rolling about in the lim- bers on the outward passage of the vessel, and that on her homeward passage the fer- | mented drainage of the ‘* green sugar” had dissolved her plating throughout its entire thickness in many places, while the thick- ness was considerably reduced elsewhere. | Had the homeward passage of this vessel been of much longer duration it would have been impossible to keep her afloat, and had the sea in that case been too stormy for the crew to escepe in boats it is very doubtful if the real cause of the disaster would have been suspected by anybody, while it is equally probable that an inquiry in the wreck courts would have resulted in the de- cision that she was overladen or unstable The case just quoted is, of course, an un- usual one, although it is worth remarking that a sister ship by the same builder, and engaged in the same trade, was within an interval of a few weeks found to be ina} From this it may be} similar condition. inferred that, given inferior cement, hard substances rolling between the frames and | | |the same the cause of the leakage was at| after, the inside surface of the plating from a sugar cargo containing molasses, the dura- bility of the bottom plating of an iron or steel ship may be measured in weeks and days. Indeed, it is doubtful whether even the hard substauces lying loosely between the frames are essential conditions for bring- ing about maritime disasters in this way, for inferior cement will ultimately wear away by the mere motion of the bilge-water, and this inevitable wear is cnly hastened by hard substances rolling upon it. If ship- masters made a rule of always carefully lift- ing ceiling hatches of iron and steel ships, and examining the condition of the cement before loading a eugar, or indeed any, cargo | punching plates from their meeting surfaces becomes clearly apparent, for only the slightly increased diameter of the rivet on the inside of the ship prevents it from fal! ing out when the head is worn away. But sugar is not the only corroding cargo carried in iron and steel ships, and loose rivets and puts are not the only foreign sub- stances which are known to cut up the cement between the frames. This will be seen by considering a second illustrative ease, which is that of an iron steamer em. ployed for many years in the coasting coal trade, with only one voyage to Spain for copper pyrites, made rather Jess than a year previous to the date of the examination, to which reference will now be made. The , Steamer in question suddenly ‘sprung a leak,’’ so her master said, and was placed ina —viz , that of the ceiling, in the first in- stance, by not keeping it in proper repair ; | and that of the cement, in the second place, | by not submitting it to as frequent an exam- ination as is possible. But are not both | these very common subjects of negligence / | Do not shipowners often grumble at being (called upon to repair and renew ceiling, | urging that no structural strength is con- | tributed by it, and forgetting how essential | is perfectly close ceiling, from bilge to bilge, to the safety of aship? Do not shipmasters often place stiffening under the main hatch- way, when a part of the cargo is out, with- out allowing themselves time to look at the cement, and urge as an excuse that ‘‘ the | cement was looked to out of the country.” Portland cement has often been described | as the very life of an iron or steel ship, and graving dock in order to discover the nature | considering that, as a rule, the tendency to |of the damage which it was alleged had | been sustained by straining at sea, When the dock was dry it was found that water was flowing out of a small hole in the bottom plating, and upon lifting the ceiling in way of once revealed. The ceiling had been allowed to decay in places, so that portions |of the copper pyrites, which once formed |her cargo, had fallen through upon the ‘cement, The rolling motion of the steamer had caused the pyrites to wear away the cement until sulphide of copper, immersed in bilge water, rested upon the vessel’s iron plating. Under such conditions | as these it inevitably happened that the sul- |phur left the copper and attacked the iron, forming a red pasty substance, which was | quickly washed aside by the rolling bilge | water, leaving a clean surface of iron for wear and tear from corrosion is much greater on the inside than on the outside of their plating, the substance in question is fairly deserving of the confidence reposed in it. If the cement is good and well looked | bilge to bilge can suffer no injury whatever from the usual acid water lying in the limbers. Ships have been known to “‘ float upon their cement,” one case in particular being that of an old passenger steamer, which when examined in graving dock by: striking the bottom with a hammer, yielded so dead a sound at one place, that a closer | inspection was made, revealing the unlooked- for fact that cement and not iron was being | struck, The bottom plating was, indeed, wholly wasted by corrosion at the place which was struck, but so hard was the | cement that only by many and vigorous ; \ in a foreign port, the risk due to this species | further attack. In this way the bottom lblows was it broken. But cement was of casualty would be much reduced. In this | plating of the steamer, in both cargo holds, | cement in those days, and not the adulter- country an annual examination of the was worn in deep pits, ‘ f which happily only ated mixture one sometimes comes across fresh-water sand was used in mixing such cement as that, and not the dirty saline sub stitute now too commonly employed. A careful and frequent study of what Mr. W. Denny, of Dumbarton, has very aptly styled ‘‘ the morbid anatomy of naval archi- tecture,” will reveal some very important truths in connection with the construction ani upkeep of ships. The necessity of using good and properly mixed cement is one of these, and the importance of keeping the ceiling in good condition is another. Both of these have been illustrated by what has already been said. But it is equally impor- tant to preserve perfect and easy accessibil- ity to all the parts of an iron or steel ship, so as to make it not only possible to examine them, but also to render it probable that they will be examined throughout. It is to be feared that the disagreeable task of crawling through the slimy deposit in the bottom of a cellular ballast tank space is calculated to lessen the probability of a fre- quent and careful examination of such parts being made, but as there are two bottoms to such ships, and as part of the cargo can get into the cellular bottom, the risk is not a great one. The wear and tear by corrosion in the machinery space of steamers would be much greater than is usually the case, were it not for the quantity of grease which is always present and found adhering to floors, reverse frames, engine seatings, &c. Belov the boilers, especially when the latter are Jeaky, corrosion goes on ata very rapid rate, but it rarely extends beyond the boiler bearers, keelsons, reverse frames, and floors. This is, however, wholly due to the presence of cement, and the rapidity with which the other parts in the vicinity are wasted affords an additional reason for making frequent examintions beneath the boilers and stoke-hold floor | plates, especially in the neighborhood of copper pipes. The average durability of a | marine boiler is fully as great as that of the bearers and frame beneath it, sothat when- ever a steamer’s boilers are renewed it in- variably happens that heavy repairs are re- quired to that part of the hull which is in- accessible when the boilers are in place. | - a | Electric Propulsion of Street Cars. é this degenerated age. Moreover, sharp The recent experiments on the Fourth avenue street railway, in this city, with the Julien electric storage battery system, have awakened renewed interest in the substitu- tion of electric motors for horses on street cars. Many will be surprised by the state- ment that more than 3.500 000 passengers are carried annually in this country on street cars moved by electric motors. In Mont- gomery, Ala., electricity is used on 11 miles of road, and the cost is reported by the general manager to be only one-half the cost of horse-power. Roads on which elec- tricity takes the place of horses are found in Baltimore, Los Angeles, Port Huron, De troit, Scranton, Appleton, Wis., and Den ver. Electric railways are either in 2ourse of construction or under contract in 12 | other cities, and in 37 companies have been | formed or other steps taken for the building | of such roads. Upon none of the roads now |in operation in this country, however, is force supplied by storage batteries attached to the cars. In most cases power is com- municated by an overhead conductor. More than 3,000,000 passengers are carried every year by electric railways in Europe. The Frankfort-Offenbach line has 4 miles of double track, uses 14 motor cars, and car- ries 990,000 passengers. The power is com- municated by overhead slotted tubes. But the roads in Brussels and Hamburg are operated by storage batteries, as in the Julien system. The system of independent motors attached to the cars is clearly to be preferred if it will do the work that is done by the more cumbrous systems and do it at no greater cost. The storage batteries can be placed under the seats of acar. They are so arranged that the amount of power used can be quickly reduced or increased by the driver. Each car is independent of all others, and its movements do not depend upon the transmission of power from a stationary center of generation. LT Air is so easily heated compared with water that many people are deceived repect ing its capacity as a means of conveying heat. The inverse fact is lost sight of, that being easily heated, air is easily cooled. Ore pound of water occupies 27% cubic inches, and one pound of air at the pressure of the atmosphere occupies 22,464 cubic inches The heat needed to raise the temperature of the water one degree will raise the tempera | ture of the pound of air nearly four degrees so that the large volume in one pound of air will not give off more than ‘ of the heat that the small body of water will part with. These are facts that parties intending to heat cars by air would do well to ponder over Mr. H. D. Gordon, master mechanic of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Paltimore Road, has charge of a locomotive, No. 317 an ordinary eight-wheel engine, which ran 17,112 miles in passenger service during the month of May. This was double service, but it is the greatest mileage for one engine that has probably ever been recorded set sas fe) ie Me Rn gn nie oie ~ al wi. ———— es ee er > we - er Pre aoe + ae WP Ores, Ope i ae ad So whee or s*° CCV i er eae <r *) ANSONIA BRASS AND COPPER co., MANUPFACT PURE COPPER WIRE, For Fleetrical tur Bare and Ce week a O'NEILS’S PATENT PLANISHED COPPER Seamless Brass and & pre r Tubing "Waterbury Brass Co.
