. Eberhardt's Improved Automatic Gear Cutter. 

We present upon this page, and on page 2, engravings of this machine, which is built by Gould & Eberhardt, Newark, N. J. Since il-lustrating the machine as made at the time of our issue of March 31, 1883, it has been by no means thought " good enough " by the inventors, but such changes and alterations as have shown themselves to be of merit, have been adopted, which have led to im-provements in the whole general construction. The main frame being one casting, is very stiff, with the metal well distributed where most needed, to withstand the severe strains in cutting wheels of large diameter and coarse pitches. Upon the horizontal ways, which are accurately scraped, fits a slide, upon which works the cutter slide. The lower slide is worked horizontally by means of a screw, which is especially useful

 as the whole working slide can be brought out to the face of the gear. The cutter slide, and all other working slides, have been en-larged in length and wearing surface. The mechanism for operating the cutter slime is of an entirely different construction froill the one formerly employed, and affords more \cearing surface to the parts, and works to bettq advantage. Through this arrange-ment an anlimited variation of speed can be obtained for feeding the cutter through the various etals, viz. : steel, wrought iron, cast-iron nd brass. It is also essential that there should be variable feeds adapted to these principal metals, both as to economy in cost of production and the duration of the milling cutter, which in most instances is - aluable. This is accomplished by using any _iie or combination of the forty-eight regu-lar change wheels, which produces a feed not dependent entirely on the friction of belts, etc. , when cutting coarse pitches. The construction of the cutter arbor bear-ing is such that the greatest firmness and wearing capacity are obtained when cutting, as well as the convenient and exact adjustment laterally of the arbor, to suit various thick-nesses of cutters. The bearing, which is square in shape, and adjusted by means of rack and pinion, is in halves and scraped. a perfect bearing to arbor. A self-oiling arrangement, whereby the entire length of arbor is kept continu-ously oiled, is also attached. The cutter arbor is strongly geared. The cutter slide is elevated to the various angles of degrees, by a worm quadrant. The various degrees are accurately given on the opposite quadrant. The sliding head is large in all its propor-tions, working in accurately fitted ways its entire length. The barrel on a 60" machine is 4A-" diame-ter, the spindle or mandrel being 2,8„ ' diame-ter. The head is adjustable vertically by nAns of a screw, to the 1o-la-0- part of an inch. In all machines of this nature the accuracy with which a blank is spaced is dependent entirely upon the wbrm wheel (provided all other parts --- 14 ' in-saactull-.;0$4.-t. too

Now this is very discouraging to the seeker for information, and yet it is not wondered at when we take into consideration the amount of labor and study which has been devoted to the subject, by those engaged in the business, and it is not too much to say that even the best informed on the subject are very far from perfection, inasmuch as they are con-. stantly called upon to change their mixtures on account of the variations in the different shipments of iron.

so on," is sheer nonsense, for the simple reason that when you receive a consignment of iron from the furnace which was ordered to be No. 4, you will find that no less than three or four grades of iron have been ship-peed to you, making it utterly impossible to follow any prescription, based on the number of the iron alone. The trouble can be over-- come after this manner : After first settling in your own mind what particular grade shall be called No. 1 and No. 6, with their intermediate numbers according to grade, you may then make from your own experience mixtures that will be intelligible to yourself, but would be useless to any one unacquainted with your methods of number-ing.

Mixture for Rolls. 
BY S. BOLLAND. 
The question is often asked by foundry-men " What is the best mixture for rolls ?" and again, " Why cannot we have a regular' set of mixtures, gotten up by some one who has had large experience in this class of work ?" Go where you will, you are met by these enquiries, and (strange as it may seem) no answer comes, at least none that is intel-ligible to the average moulder. Some have tried to give what purported to be the right mixture, made up of so much of " this," to so much of " that," supplementing the formula by saying that good rolls were made at such a place by the mixtures given. Again, you go into shops where they make a specialty of rolls, and ask for their mixtures, and naturally, they shake their heads, and express by the look they give, as well as they could by a multitude of words, " Not much." Now this is very discouraging to the seeker for information, and yet it is not wondered at when we take into consideration the amount of labor and study which has been devoted to the subject, by those engaged in the business, and it is not too much to say that even the best informed on the subject are very far from perfection, inasmuch as they are con-stantly called upon to change their mixtures on account of the variations in the different shipments of iron. To attempt to give a formula for universal adoption by saying, " So much of No. 2 to so much of No. 5, and

for being always one thing in point of density or hardness. A little observation on these points will at once dispel this illusion, for whilst some wheels may be chilled almost 1" deep ; others again will be found hardly, touched with chill, and the iron all through as soft as lead almost. Again 1 would call the attention to this fact, that full reliance cannot be placed on the productions of our best firms in this line of business. I have seen four rolls all of the same dimensions, which came from a leading firm, no two of which were alike in density. One was almost condemned for being too hard ; the softest being as much in fault the opposite way. I mention this to show that however much may have been accomplished in the way of mixtures, much still remains for the judgment of the mixer ; for, as is well known, a judicious selection of scrap in large quantities will always produce the finest casting, and, if possible, new iron should never be used exclusively. Many may think that it would be easy to mix sufficient very hard grade new iron to neutralize a very soft one. This plan will never succeed. The re-sult of such a mixture is always a pronounced mottle, large and unsightly, the white and dark patches seem never to have united. Such rolls last but a very short time for, as soon as they are put to use, the soft parts crumble out, leaving the roll perfectly honey-combed. This proves the necessity of using iron in the mixture not too far apart in their nature and degree of density, and of choos-ing such grades as are the nearest to the mixture required. A good plan is to melt together your very hard and soft scrap, and run down into good sized pigs, say 6" or 8" square. The reason for this is that where small pigs are made for charcoal scrap, the result is " white iron," which as a rule you do not want. All overflows from casts should be run in like manner and covered over as soon as run. By adopting this method a great saving is effected. I shall now proceed to give a few mixtures for different sized rolls, and to make them intelligible to the reader it will be necessary to inform him what is meant by Nos. 3, 4 and 5, as the case may be. These several num-bera represent the grades as arranged for my own convenience in mixing. 
made of such, assorting and grading it as di-rected. By " low " scrap, I mean such as shows neither chill nor mottle. " Medium " is intended for all scrap which is mottled, but only slightly chilled, whilst " high " means that which is deeply mottled with con-siderable chill. By noting carefully these particulars, the table of mixtures given below will be intelligible :

Institute by Mr. Turner, demonstrator of chemistry, Mason College : " The most important feature in this paper was the announcement that it was possible, without any extra expense, to impart to all cast-iron a tensile strength of at least fifteen tons per square inch, or nearly double that on which it is now safe to reckon. In order to do this, it is only necessary to have suffi-cient silicon in the metal. The author's own experiments were made with iron of more than usual purity, specially prepared by heat-ing South Staffordshire wrought iron in cruci-bles with charcoal. The product was then mixed with various amounts of silicon pig, and the resulting metal examined chemically and mechanically. The materials employed had the following composition : 
Descrip-tion. Total Carbon. Graphite. Si. P. Mn. S. Original cast-iron.. 1.98 0.38 0.19 0.32 0.14 0.05 Silicon pig. 1 .81 1.12 9.80 0.21 1 .95 0.04 
The total carbon was purposely kept as nearly as possible constant at 2 per cent. , so as to obviate any uncertainty due to varia-tions in that element. The only element other than silicon which varied to any considerable extent was manganese ; but in this case the alterations were rather less than one-fifth of the variations in silicon, and would not appear to have introduced an appreciable error. In 

His is earlier experiments to be of considerable interest. There is also given the calculated transverse strength, which is of importance in connecting together tensile wend crushing strength. The tensile and crushing tests were performed by Professor A. B. W. Ken-nedy, of University College, London, while he was indebted to Mr. J. P. Walton for assistance in the analytical part of the work . The crushing strength also shows a very considerable uniformity, the only exception being the 2.5 per cent. specimen, which is probably rather too high, owing to the small amount of graphitic carbon. The maximum value of 92.54 tons was obtained with one per cent. of silicon. This value, though greater than is usual with cast iron, has been exceeded by Sir W. Fairbairn, who in 1853 recorded a crushing streigth of nearly 96 tons. The author concluded—(1). That pure cast iron—i. e., iron and carbon only—even if ob-tainable, would not be the most suitable ma-terial for use in the foundry. (2.) That cast iron containing excessive amounts of other constituents is equally unsuited for foundry purposes. (3.) That the ill effects of an excess of one constituent can at best be only imperfectly neutralized by the addition of another constituent. (4.) That there is a suitable proportion for each constituent pres-ent in cast iron. This proportion depends upon the character of the product which is desired, and upon the proportion of other elements present. (5.) That variations in the proportion of silicon afford a trustworthy and inexpensive means of producing a cast-iron of any required mechanical character which is possible withhe material employed. " Marine engine builders," said a well-known engineer, " are apt to meet strains in marine engines by opposing to them an un-yielding force." Locomotive builders, on the other hand, allow parts to move and ad-just themselves, a point which marine engi-neers cannot adopt, or even comprehend. Said he, " the best marine engine I ever had made was built in a locomotive shop."

lar to a chord will bisect the chord, and there-fore, conversely, if a line is drawn perpen-dicular to a chord through its middle point, this perpendicular line will pass through the center of the circle. Consequently if we draw perpendiculars through the centers of two chords, these perpendiculars must inter-sect each other in the center of the circle. Again it must readily be seen, that the same construction as illustrated in Fig. 97 will enable us to draw a circumference through any three given points not contained in one straight line. Directions.—In the space marked Problem 13 draw any circle, and assume that its center is to be found ; then find the center in a man-ner as explained in this article. Draftsman's .Method.—The draftsman has no special method for finding the center of a circle, and for this purpose must adopt the geometrical method just explained. 126. The center square illustrated in Fig. 98, which the machinist uses for finding the center of a circular hole is constructed on the principles set forth in the foregoing article. It will be noticed that the edge a b of the blade is set square with the edge c d of the head, and also that the edge a b passes through the center of c d, so that when the head of the center square is placed against the inner sur-face of the hole, the edge c d represents a Ito divide one of the other two sides, A L, into equal parts, A 8, H I, etc. , the third side, A F, is also divided into equal parts. Consequently we conclude that since the parts A H, H I, etc., on the line A M are all equal by construction, lines drawn through the points of division II, I, etc. , parallel to FL, must also divide the line A F into equal parts. Dividing a straight line in this manner, slight inaccuracies will occur in drawing the lines through the points H, I, J, etc. There-fore, after a construction of this kind has been completed, it is always best to test the divisions on the line A F with the aid of the plain dividers, and make such corrections as will be found necessary, although, when care is exercised in making these construc-tions, few, if any, corrections will be neces-sary. Directions.—In the lower part of the space marked Prob. 14, draw any straight line ; as-sume this line to be the given straight line. Divide this line into any number of equal parts (say, seven, eight or nine) in a manner as explained in this article. Draftsman's Method.—Some draftsmen will adopt this geometrical method for dividing a straight line into equal parts ; others again, will use the plain dividers, and by trial ac-complish similar results.

Join the points E and I by a straight line. Through the point H draw a straight line H L parallel to E I; through the G draw G K also parallel to E 1; then will the parts D K, K L, and L E of the line D E be proportional to the lines A, B and C; that is if the length of the line B is equal to one-quarter the length of the line A, then will K L also be equal to one guar er of D K; and if the line C is equal to one-half of the line A, then will L E also be equal to one-half of D K. If the given line D E is less than the sum of the three given lines A, B and C, then of course the parts D K, K L and L E will be propor-tionally shorter than the lines A, B and C; and if on the other hand the given line D is greater than the sum of the lines A, B and C, then its parts will also be pro-portionally greater than the lines A, B and C. In geometry it is proved that if a line, as H L (Fig. 100) is drawn through two sides of a triangle as D I E, parallel to the third side I ;

MACIIINIST Fastening Locomotive Boilers to Frames. In locomotives of the ordinary American type and designed to burn bituminous coal, the fire-box is generally placed between the driving axles and the frames, and fastened to the latter by frame clamps or pads A, as shown in Fig. 1. These pads are made of plate iron from a to 4 of an inch in thickness. They are planed to fit around the three sides of each frame, then heated and fitted to the boiler. Liners are placed between the inner sides of the frames and the outer sides of the fire-box, after which the pads are bolted to the boiler. This manner of fastening the boiler to the frames will allow the fire-box to move lengthways along the frames when the boiler A , In late years the tendency has been to make the locomotives heavier and more powerful than formerly, and consequently the grate area also had to be increased proportionally. But in some cases the length of fire-b x is also limited, so that a sufficient grate area cannot always be obtained without increasing the width of the fire-box. Therefoie boilers have been made whose fire-boxes are as wide as the space between the driving wheels will admit. In this class of boilers the fire-boxes rest on top of the frames, and are held in position by the links C C, as shown in Fig. 3. This manner of fastening the fire-box to frames is considered to be defective and insecure, and indeed a number of master mechanics believe it to be the cause of breaking frames. A Fig. 1 _Fig. 2 34% inside , 42M-outside Fig.5 JANUARY 8, 1887 to which the pads are bolt-ed ; at the front end of fire-box pads are fastened in the usual way. Cast-iron blocks are inserted between the bottom of fire-box and top frames, shaped and fastened in a manner which will allow the rear end of the boiler to slide lengthways, as it expands or contracts, but is prevented by the pads from moving out of line sideways, and thus greatly reducing the strains in the front end of each frame. We cannot conceive any reason why a boiler having a wide tire box, and fast-ened in this manner, should not give entire sat-isfaction. This design is liot patent-ed, and may be adopted by any one who may choose to do so. The Roger Ll-comotive Works are now building two locomotives, with boilers of this kind, and more are soon to fol-low. *********************************************************

This manner of fastening the fire-box to frame has always given good satisfaction and is the favorite among master mechanics. For burning anthracite coal the grate area must necessarily be made greater than that required for burning bituminous coal; and since the frames will not admit a wider grate area, the fire-box is lengthened, as shown in Fig. 2, and supported by pads B B B, which are clamped to the frame. 150 lbs. boiler pressure 234 2 in. flues flues 10 ft.-11 in.-long--- 16500 lbs.-per wheel 16X 24 ,k letive foiLee on r 15000 lbs. 22-ft.9 11 ft.2- FASTENING A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER TO ITS FRAME. Mr. John Headden, a practical, able and experienced locomotive builder and designer, who is at present the superintendent of the Roger Locomotive Works, has recognized for some time past the defects of the links em-ployed for the purpose of holding the fire-box in position, as illustrated in Fig. 3, and has endeavored to devise a better, safer and more secure method of holding the rear end of boiler in position, and yet retain the wide fire-box. The result of his study and labor is shown SOCJIbs. in Figs. 4 and 5. Fig. 4 represents a side view, and Fig. 5 a sectional end view of a locomotive having as wide a fire-box as can be placed between the driving wheels and securely fastened to the frames. In this design, as will be seen by referring to Figs. 4 and 5, the fire-box is held in posi-tion by frame clamps, or pads, D D, con-structed and fastened similar to those shown in Fig. 1. In order that the pads can be firmly secured to the back end of the boiler, the fire-box ring has lugs, e, forged on to it, In locomotives of the ordinary American type, the springs are generally placed over the top of the driving boxes; but when the fire-box rests on the top of the frames, all the room required for the springs is the a taken up, and the springs must be placed below the driving boxes. The manner of attaching springs in this position is shown in Fig. 4, and the illustration of the same may be use-ful to those who may be compelled to place springs in a similar position. The principal dimensions are given in Figs, 4 and 5.

The best way to wash the paper is as follows: Let the paper soak for 15 or 20 minutes in a tank of clear water. This water must be changed frequently, as the water soon be-comes so saturated with the chemicals that it will not fully take the lines out, which will then become blue on exposure. The question was asked : How long after the paper is prepared should it be used to get the best results ? Use as soon as perfectly dry. If a drawing be made on transparent but with coal contai- ing 30 per cent., or more of gases, the matter was quite different. Anthracite could be burned in a shallow furnace, but to get anything like satisfactory results from bituminous coal the fire-box must be deep, or a large per cent. of the gases would pass off unconsumed.

Length of Diagranm from Pantograph Motion. Editor American Machinist: Doubtless many of your readers have been bothered when using the pantograph as an indicator reduction motion, for want of a method for determin-ing the location of the hitch pin in order to adapt the panto-graph to the stroke of the en-gine in hand, so as to produce a card of .the desired length. It is to be hoped that some day the pantograph makers will stamp a figure alongside of each hitch pin hole, showing at a glance the ratio of reduc-thm for that hole, but until that good time comes the fol-lowing plan is better than guess work or trial. Stretch out the

The stand trunnion P being then screwed into the cap K, the core barrel is ready to be swept up, which is done by setting it horizontally on horses, the trunnions P R being bearings upon which it will revolve, as well as abuttment for the sweep in gauging the diameter of the core. The core having been swept up the crane is hitched to the trunnion P, and that end of core lowered until the flange S rests on a block or plank sufficiently high to keep the body of core clear of the floor. The crane is then taken to the other end of the core and hitched to the screw hook T, seen in Fig. 3, (it having previously been screw, d to the nut K, which is to be understood as having an external as well as an internal thread upon it) and the whole core up-ended in the position seen in Fig. 3. The mould or outside part being made, the cope is then set on the core, as seen in Fig. 3. The outside and bars of this cope are cast in one piece, which has for its center a ring V turned to fit the recess seen in the core barrel shaft B. These two being true and clean it will be evident that

above incident is a good example of what trouble and anxiety a thoughtless moulder can put a foundry foreman to. From the cut of the cope it will be evident to the founder and moulder how the rest of the flask was constructed when he is here in-formed that another joint was at the line Z, and the castings were poured by two under-neath gates, one of which is seen at Fig. 1. The main runner to these gates did not pass through the body of the "cope" and "cheek," but had an independent pipe flask outside of the main flask which connected with a branch leading from the nowel -that contained the gates shown. It will be seen there was no room for a runner inside of the main flask when the moulder is told that the diameter of the flask was such as would only leave room for about 3/' thickness of sand all around the pattern.

Removing Borax from Steel. Editor American Machinist :

One of your correspondents asks how to remove borax from steel axles without filing. Let him try immersing in a solution of sul-phuric acid and water for a few minutes, afterwards dipping in clean hot water. He can then dry with a piece of cloth ; we use this process for work in our establishment, and can recommend it. Philadelphia. RIEHL & CLARK. •411111.. Combustion of Coal. Mr. William Kent gave an interesting talk on combustion before the Newark Association of Stationary Engineers at one of their recent meetings. After briefly outlining the theory of combustion, Mr. Kent spoke of the differ-ent requirements for burning bituminous coal as compared with anthracite. The burning of anthracite was generally a simple matter,

By adhering to one plan of firing and management for, say a week, then trying another plan, the best one would be found. There was no way except by actual trial that these things could be determined, and the best results obtained.

radii D C and E H. From the center C, and with a radius C K describe the circle K I L; from the center H, and with C Has a radius, describe an arc, M C N ; from the center C, and with a radius equal to the diameter K L of the circle K I L describe a short arc cut-ting the arc M C AT in the point M. Through the center C and the point M draw a straight line cutting the circumference K I L in the point I, and also the circumference A B D in the point B. Join the points /and H by a straight line, and draw the radius E H perpen-dicular to I H; then the points B and E are the points of tangency. Through the points B and E draw a straight line ; then this line B E will be the tangent required. By construction the line from B to I is equal in length to the radius E H, and the line. I is perpendicular to B C (Art. 125). The lines B I and E Hare, by construction, per-pendicular to the same line I H; they are also equal in length. Consequently the line B E, drawn through the points B and E, must be parallel to I H. The line B E must also be perpendicular to the lines B land F H, be-cause all the angles formed by these lines are right angles. Therefore the line B E is the tangent required. In a similar manner the tangent A G can be drawn. Directions.—In the space marked Prob. 18 draw any two circles whose diameters are not equal; assume these circles to be the given circles. Then draw a tangent to the same, according to the instructions given in this article. Draftsman's Method.—In order to draw on paper a line tangent to two circles, the drafts-man will simply place the T or set square in a position in which the edge of one or the other will -touch each circle in one point, and then draw a line along the edge. If it is nec-essary to locate the points of tangency, the draftsman will, with the aid of his T and set square, as explained in Art. 107, draw lines through the centers C and II, perpendicular to the tangent line ; the points in which these lines cut the tangent are the points of tan-gency. If the tangent is to be drawn on the floor, and the points of tangency are to be exactly located, it will generally be best to follow the construction shown in Fig. 113. 150. If the circles in Fig. 113 represent two pulleys, and it. is required to find the ex-ant lan►th of bolt to cto around these pulleys.
the points E and F draw a straight line ; then the line E F will be the tangent required, and the points E and F will be the points of contact. In a similar manner the tangent C H can be drawn. The line I B is tangent to the circle NM 0, Art. 108, and the same line is also perpendicu-lar to the line A I, Arts. 145 and 108. Since the line F B is perpendicular to the line I B, and the line F B has been drawn through the point of contact F, it follows that the line E F drawn perpendicular to F B is tangent to the circle F G H and is also parallel to the line I B. But the line I E is equal to the line F B, and these two lines are also parallel because they are perpendicular to the same line I B therefore the line E F must also be tangent to the circle CD E. Directions.—In the-space marked Problem 13
Fig. 115. Let the lines C D and 1I. F be the given lines ; it is requ red to draw a line K L which shall bisect the inclination of the lines CD and E F. If it were possible to produce the lines C D and E F so that they would meet, we would simply bisect the angle formed by these lines as explained in Art. 112, But according to the conditions given in this prob-lem the lines C D and E F cannot be pro-duced, hence the following construction : On the line E D take any point A, and through this point draw A M parallel to the line F F, according to the instructions given in Art. 113. From point A, as a center and with any radius, describe an arc cutting the line C D in the point g and the line A Al in the point h from the point g, as a center and with a radius greater than half the distance between

Fig. 114 on the floor, then the draftsman will adopt the method here given, or by some other similar method. When the given lines are drawn on paper the draftsman will find by trial the center of a circle which will be tangent to the given lines near their ends C and E, also in the same manner he will find the center of a circle tangent to the same lines near their ends D and F. Through these centers he will draw a straight line, and this line will bisect the inclination of the given lines. Endowment for Technical Schools

The best way to wash the paper is as follows: Let the paper soak for 15 or 20 minutes in a tank of clear water. This water must be changed frequently, as the water soon be-comes so saturated with the chemicals that it will not fully take the lines out, which will then become blue on exposure. The question was asked : How long after the paper is prepared should it be used to get the best results ? Use as soon as perfectly dry. If a drawing be made on transparent but with coal contai- ing 30 per cent., or more of gases, the matter was quite different. Anthracite could be burned in a shallow furnace, but to get anything like satisfactory results from bituminous coal the fire-box must be deep, or a large per cent. of the gases would pass off unconsumed. Anthra-cite could be very satisfactorily burned in a furnace proper for bituminous coal, but bituminous coal could very seldom be used in a furnace made for burning anthracite with- paper, parchment paper is best. This is out serious loss. Again there were so many cheaper than tracing cloth, but if time is varieties of bituminous coal that in order to money the cloth is the cheapest.

Length of Diagranm from Pantograph Motion. Editor American Machinist: Doubtless many of your readers have been bothered when using the pantograph as an indicator reduction motion, for want of a method for determin-ing the location of the hitch pin in order to adapt the panto-graph to the stroke of the en-gine in hand, so as to produce a card of .the desired length. It is to be hoped that some day the pantograph makers will stamp a figure alongside of each hitch pin hole, showing at a glance the ratio of reduc-thm for that hole, but until that good time comes the fol-lowing plan is better than guess work or trial. Stretch out the

upon which are 1"xl" chipping pieces put on mainly for the purpose of keeping the staves apart at their joints, to leave a longitudinal opening for vent and freedom in getting them out of the casting. The stand trunnion P being then screwed into the cap K, the core barrel is ready to be swept up, which is done by setting it horizontally on horses, the trunnions P R being bearings upon which it will revolve, as well as abuttment for the sweep in gauging the diameter of the core. The core having been swept up the crane is hitched to the trunnion P, and that end of core lowered until the flange S rests on a block or plank sufficiently high to keep the body of core clear of the floor. The crane is then taken to the other end of the core and hitched to the screw hook T, seen in Fig. 3, (it having previously been screw, d to the nut K, which is to be understood as having an external as well as an internal thread upon it) and the whole core up-ended in the position seen in Fig. 3. The mould or outside part being made, the cope is then set on the core, as seen in Fig. 3. The outside and bars of this cope are cast in one piece, which has for its center a ring V turned to fit the recess seen in the core barrel shaft B. These two being true and clean it will be evident that

above incident is a good example of what trouble and anxiety a thoughtless moulder can put a foundry foreman to. From the cut of the cope it will be evident to the founder and moulder how the rest of the flask was constructed when he is here in-formed that another joint was at the line Z, and the castings were poured by two under-neath gates, one of which is seen at Fig. 1. The main runner to these gates did not pass through the body of the "cope" and "cheek," but had an independent pipe flask outside of the main flask which connected with a branch leading from the nowel -that contained the gates shown. It will be seen there was no room for a runner inside of the main flask when the moulder is told that the diameter of the flask was such as would only leave room for about 3/' thickness of sand all around the pattern. It might be well to state that in order to insure the pattern being central in the flask when it was being -‘ rammed up," that there was a seat in the pattern which fitted the cope's round bar V, and was bolted to same upon the principle the core is shown at-tached to the cope. The moulder will, of course, realize by the above that the cope was made to answer the purpose of a " follow " or " mould board," and that when the " cheek "

The Labor Tribune is in its fifteenth year, and is the best representative of organ-ized labor interests of any newspaper in this country. Published weekly at $2.00 per year. i5frio_ps nsiDERs. Under this head we propose to answer questions sent us, pertaining to our specialty, correctly, and according to common-sense methods. Every question, to insure any attention, must invari-ably be accompanied by the writer's name and address. If so requested, neither name, correct initials no loco:, tion will be published. (16) F. H. K., Cleveland, Ohio, will find description of the black process of copying draw-ings in the AMERICAN MACHINIST of April 19, 1884, and July 19, 1881. We do not recommend any book as the " best." (17) S. D., Passaic, N. J., will find an article on the subject of pressure on slide valves in the AMERICAN MACHINIST Of June 2, 1883. From this it will be seen that much more data than he furnishes are required. (18) J. M., New York, asks : 1. Are the working tools of a young man already in this coun-try subject to duty if sent for, they having been used? A .—Duty will undoubtedly be charged, but an explanation of what they are will probably relieve you from payment. 2. What is the duty on finished machinery ? A.-45 per cent. (19) C. C. G. asks : 1. Can a blue print of an ordinary letter be made plain enough so that it can be read easily ? A.—Yes, providing the letter paper is not too thick and the ink black. 2. What is the cost of an outfit to make the usual size of blue prints ? A .—An outfit for making blue prints twice the size of the AMERICAN MACHINIST page will cost about $4. (20) A. A. K., Bethany, Mo., writes : It is claimed that a well-proportioned hollow column, 6-inch diameter, will bear a greater crushing strain than a solid column of the same diameter. Is this right ? A.—On general principles, the solid column is the strongest. It might be possible in some eases to improve the solidity of the iron by casting on a small core, so that the hollow column would be the strongest. If you take the solid column and drill out the center, it will certainly be weaker. . (21) C. H., Jackson, Mich., asks : How (41.11 I mark a warns on stool by 1.111if acid ? A of wheel. You can calculate the weight cf rim by calculating the number of cubic inches in it, then multiplying by .26. 2. Which makes the best set-ting for an automatic engine, stone well cemented, or hard-burned brick ? A.—There is nothing quite equal to large, smooth stone ; hard-burned brick, however, makes a good foundation. 3. In return tubular boilers about what per cent. of saving is made by returning the products of combustion over the top of the boiler ? A.—Nothing. 4. Is it advisable to set an engine foundation on plank when there is water on the bottom of pit ? A.—No. Use large stone at the bottom, laid in hydraulic cement. (26) J. 0. writes : Scientific authorities tell us that if we have two surfaces in contact, one of them moving upon the other (as for instance, the surfaces of the locomotive driving wheel and the rail), the coefficient of friction cannot be increased by increasing the velocity of the surfaces. If this is the case, why is it that runners always put on steam when they find that their driving wheels are slip-ping ? A.—Competent locomotive engineers will never put on steam when the driving wheels are slipping. If you will watch them carefully, you will find that in starting the engineer opens the throttle valve very cautiously, and, as the speed of train increases, the throttle is slowly opened wider. Sometimes the engineer opens the throttle too fast, and thus will cause the driving wheels to slip, but will not allow them to do so for any length of time. (27) J. M. C. writes : I have an engine, cylinder 26"x42" ; piston travel, 560 feet per min-ute; steam pressure, 70 lbs. It is a Corliss cylin-der. I want to bore it out so as to put in a different piston. What thickness of iron in cylinder would be the limit of safety ? It is now 1%" at counter bore and 1%" piston bore. How can I find the length of one side of a triangle (acute) when the length of the others are given, and the three angles known, without referring to a table of sines and cosines? Mention some reliable works on trigonometry. A.-1. In the AMERICAN MACHINIST of August 22d, 1885, page 2, you will find an article on the thick-ness of metal in cylinders.

Hence (26 X 70 X .0001) + .15 v26=.947 of an inch ; say, 1 inch for the thickness of cylinder. We believe that % of an inch will be the limit of safety for the thickness of metal. 2.

3 Plain Milling Machine. We have in our works and in constant use, about one hundred Milling Machines, and our experience with them has demonstrated that for manufacturing purposes where many duplicate pieces are required, that the best work is produced and the most econ-omical results obtained from machines that are con.- 1 pact and solid, so arranged that t he pieces operated upon can he quickly placed in position and quickly removed after the cut is taken. We have designed a line of Milling Machin es for manufacturing purposes, combining the above de-sirable qualities, of which the No. 3 Plain Milling Machine is a type, and by their use we have sound it practicable to produce from10 to 20 per cent. more work in a given time than we could possibly obtains from any other type of a milling machine on the same work. The Spindle is driven by a gear and pinion from a three-step cone with 3" belt. It has a vertical adjustment of 6". The Table is 9" wide, 27" long, and has-12" longi-tudinal and 4" transverse movement, and is moved longitudinally 2" by one turn of the hand-wheel. Tlae Feed is automatic with three changes, stopping automatically at any required point. The Vise has jaws 6Y8" long, 1 7-16" deep, and will open 33/8", Counter-shaft has pulleys 10" diam. for 3" belt, and should run about 375 turns per minute • The Price includes vise, counter-shaft, wrenches, &c , delivered f. o. b. at Providence, It.

Cut Production Costs-With Modern Equipment.

LET'S START RIGHT NOW
to do those things necessary to bring conditions back to normal. We've faced business stag- nation long enough
now to know what it means; so /et's go- let's get started on the right track again. This business de- pression will last
just as long as the people of this co\untry sit back and wait for something to happen-we've got to make things
happen.
We can accomplish nothing by waiting for the other fellow to start something-the chances are he is sitting back
waiting for us. We've simply got to realize that it is up to everyone to do his share, and there never was a better
time than right now to start the "ball a'rolling."
Then there is another and probably a much more threaten- ing angle to the situation. The period of prosperity just
passed has witnessed a tremendous over-expansion in practically every industry, not only in this country, but
throughout the entire civilized world. `As a consequence, today, and likely for many years to come, the facilities for
production will be greater than the powers of absorption-which means the keenest kind of competition and the
weeding out of the less stable and less progressive concerns in each industry. Business houses today are fighting
for their very existence, and those who survive will be the ones that start now to reduce their costs and better
their methods, in order to meet the keenest competition on a fair basis. ~
How should we begin? Where should we start?


If every manufacturer in the metal working industry would start by putting his own house in order, by replacing his
old worn'-out tools with new and better machines, by weeding out bis obsolete equipment, and installing more
modern, more prohtable equipment in its place, the first thing you know, we would have better business, things
would begin to move again, and industry once more would "hit the trail" of progress. We, The American Tool Works
Company, have already started. Since Jan. 1921, we have weeded out of our own plant, eighty-three machines of
different kinds, and are now replacing them with the latest and most modern tools. By this we have provided
business for the foundries, orders for the steel mills, and work for a number of men-in other words, we have "gone
into action" in our own plant.
If you will do the same in yours, the other fellow the same in his, and so on, ad infinitum, this country would soon
forget that there was a business depression, a readjustment period or a deflation spasm. It is up to every one of us
to put our shoulder to the wheel, so let's go-a slang expression -yes-but chuck full of meaning and good advice.
