Single Coptes, Ten Cents. The Dayton Swaging Machine. During a recent visit to the works of the Excelsior Needle Company, at Torrington, Conn., we had occasion tosee at work an improved form of swaging machine designed by Mr. W. H. Dayton, and used there for | tact with the rollers in succession and act to |turn such rollers progressively, and each |roller forms a toggle between the interior surface of the shell and the end of the die. The latter is closed to the full extent when the center of the die is ina radial plane pass ing through the axis of the roller with that the whole amount of metal in the elon gated portion corresponds to that embraced between the lines a b. The diameters of the blank originally ard of the drawn down portion are 0 .o8t and o.o12 inch re spectively. At the works of the Excel sior Needle Company a number of the Modern Compound Engines. The extraordinary revolution, says the English Mechanic, which has taken place of late years in the views of marine engineers and owners of trading steamers must have astonished those advocates of the single en the swaging of needle blanks. In view of | which the die is in contact.

Two We will say here that Mr. Dayton employs a | shown in Fig. 6. If the shaft is revolved by ' of the machines of larger size we saw at work revolving shaft having across its end a mor- tise or groove and a pair of sliding dies. Around this is arranged a cylindrical shell, and there are rollers between the dies and the shell, having their axes in ring bearings, so as to roll around within the shell by the action upon them of the dies. The ends of the dies come into contact with the rollers successively, and, these being at opposite sides within the shel], act as rolling toggles to press the aies together. In this manner there are as many closures of the dies at each revolution of the shaft as there are rollers in the circular range, and the parts are constantly in motion, so that there is an extended wearing surface on the interior of the shell and the exterior of the rollers. Hence, the apparatus is very durable, and there is but little friction of the parts. The details of the machine will be best understeod from the partial sections, Figs. 3 and 4, aud from Figs. 5 and 6, representing respectively enlarged views of the dies and of the grooved shaft. The arrangement of the latter, A, will be readily understood from the engravings, and requires no special de- scription. It will be observed that the dies fitted in the groove are double—that is to say, there is a die-face at each end of the blocks C C, Figs. 3, 4 and 5), and there are foliowers C’ C against the rounded ends of which the rollers R act in the swaging operation. When the die-faces in the center are worn they are resurfaced and rebored, and it be- comes necessary to use filling pieces to com- pensate for the metal removed. These filling pieces or shims, which may be of any | convenient thickness or number, are placed between the blocks C and C’. The die- Fig. 2.- Fig. 6.—Enlarged, Grooved End of Shaft A with Dies.

We owe the introduction of the three- cylinder compound, or triple expansion, en gine to Mr. A. C. Kirk. of the firm of R. Napier & Sons, and it will probably surprise many who know what has been done lately to learn that so long ago as 1874 he first intro | duced the system, mainly because he had to | use steam at 150 pounds pressure in the steam ship Propontis. The example was followed to a small extent, but did not receive much at- tention until the Aberdeen showed what could be done by triple-expansion engines on |a long voyage like that to Austrialia, and her sister vessel, the Australasian, ran for 40 | days without the engines being stopped once, | while the coal bill come out as only 1.6 pounds per indicated horse-power. That the example of the Propontis was not fol- lowed with more alacrity is easily accounted for, because ship owners are as a rule con- servative, and at the time mild steel plates had not been introduced, and with the thickest iron plates that could be manipu lated into a boiler a higher pressure than 80 pounds could not be allowed by the Board of Trade or Lloyd’s. In the course of a few years, however, several vessels were fitted with triple-expansion engines, and in one | special case two sister vessels, exactly alike and engaged in the same trade, were pitted against each other, one having an ordipary ;}compound engine, tae other a triple ex- | pansion, but both calculated to average about the same indicated horse power.

Although a great cotton-growing State, | Alabama has only 30 cotton mills, running because they found a difference in the coal bills, and then it was pointed out that the economy, which could no longer be disputed, was due to the use of higher steam press- ures. To a certain extent that statement was undoubtedly true, but as the compound- ing of the engines enabled the higher press ures to be employed, the advocates of cum pounding rightly claimed the full credit for their system. Since then the system has developed in a remarkable manner in connection with marine navigation, and possibly five out of six of the large trading steamers now building will have triple expansion, some of them quadruple expan- sion, engines. Even those vessels which are supplied only with what is known as ‘‘ auxiliary” steam power are being fitted with the modern engines, and there is scarcely a sea-going vesse] of any consider- able dimensions, exclusive of the navy, which is not fitted with compound engines. [he reason is easily found, for, apart from the economy obtained by the lessened con- | her coal bill, with an average of more than 6 per cent. extra in speed, and since those facts became known the modern steam-en- gines have been the fashion for al! cargo boats. A simple but important point of detail was soon disccvered in the fact that there was also a smaller consumption of cylinder vil, the saving of which is a mere trifle, but the effect of which on boilers can be readily understood by marine engineers. When pressures of 150 pounds and upward are used itis very neces- sary to have the boiler plates as free from scale as possible—with only that amount of ‘‘egg-shell” scale which rather protects than injures. Mineral oil is, as a rule, em ployed for lubricating the cylinders, an | that orits refuse passes through the con densers into the boiler, where, unless great care is taken, it leaves a residue, which is said to be the best non conductor of heat known to marine engineers; and, conse quently, if allowed to accumulate, the plates (Concluded on page 9). ~ a Ss a a a | ‘ August Dd Sb 2 ee RON BG Boe August 18, 1887, ana - —— 7 : () LINDE ANSONIA BRASS AND | THE PLUME & ATWOOD MEG.
