THE IRON AGE. 15 292919 39 33S 3939 3999) Connecting Bridges NTTTTT i TTT TTT" Ala TDI ALAMAMLIDAM MULL LPL CUES LA a THAT ww UY ae IT IS OFTEN DESIRABLE’ TO CONNECT THE DIFFERENT FLOORS OF SEVERAL BUILDINGS in a large manufacturing plant, to facilitate commun- ication between different departments without the necessity of going up and down stairs. The illustration is taken from a photograph, and shows three bridges connecting two different buildings of The Winchester Repeating Arms Company, of New Haven, Conn. In the present case, only the upper bridge was cov- ered, but often it is desirable to cover the sides as well as the roof, to prevent goods being damaged or spoiled while being transported from one building to the other. Where the openings entering to the bridge are pro- tected by our corrugated iron doors, the danger from fire passing from one building to the other along the floor of the bridge is entirely eliminated. In fact, where the bridges are made entirely of iron with the exception of the floor, the danger from fire is very small. Often, where the distance between buildings is great, it is found advisabie to put in one or more supports so as to shorten the length of the spans.

We quote from an article by Mr. Colbyspublished in THE IRON AGE of June 15, 1899, and append a list of the books which are recommended collectively for the iron and steel works chemist, with their prices: “ There ought to be a good long shelf of books 1n the office or balance room of every iron and steel works’ laboratory, for they are as essential to its proper equipment as the apparatus and chemicals. If granted the opportunity the chemist of an iron or steel works can give practical aid in so many lines that his employer will find it to his direct advantage to encourage his chemist by placing the best books on the sub- ject at his disposal. * * * The writer based the recommendations on a personal examination of all of the books printed in English on analytical chemistry and allied subjects, 112 in number, on a long experience in the use of many of them and on an intimate knowledge of the many ways in which a chemist can aid his employer in the manufacture of iron and steel. * * * The most successful professional chemists are those willing to still class themselves as students, and it is safe to say that in every one of the books recommended in this article at least one good new idea may be found, which if applied by the chemist in his laboratory work will soon save his employer many times the cost of the book.” 1 Arnold, J.O.
