FOREWORD. 
 
 THE high standard of American skilled labor in the mechanical world is universally conceded. Generally 
 speaking, United States manufacturers class it as the most efficient. There can be no more forcible indica- 
 tion of the opinion of Europeans than their present extensive and increasing purchases of American machinery. 
 Our schools of Mechanical Technology constitute an important factor in maintaining this rank. While the growth in 
 numbers is marked, their educational advancement is still more highly gratifying. 
 
 Of the value of modern facilities in the manufactory, also for test and experiment no question can exist. The 
 latest approved developments are represented in the 'smithy by down-draft forges, in the electrical department by 
 the unit of generator and engine direct attached, in the boiler plant by mechanical draft, and in heating and 
 ventilating of all campus and industrial buildings by the fan system. No apology is needed for the presentation 
 herewith of some forms of equipment typical of earlier practice, for the expense of supplanting with improvements as 
 brought out would be beyond reason. So this catalogue illustrates varied examples in schools, but only outfits of 
 late design in its reference to mills and shops of prominence. 
 
 The scheme of removing smoke and fumes from 'smith fires immediately as generated is one upon which 
 considerable time and money had been expended by this Company in experimenting before the first Buffalo Forges 
 of down-draft type were patented and placed upon sale. The perfected design of the down -draft hood has been 
 readily adapted to all sizes and types of Buffalo Stationary Forges. While eminently suited to Manual Training 
 School work and here widely employed manufacturing establishments, on account of their greater number, are 
 naturally the larger users. A few illustrations only of the latter are here shown, owing to the difficulty of obtaining 
 satisfactory photographs. This is due mainly to the relatively large area of blacksmith shops of the factory com- 
 pared to those of the training school. 
 
 Some manufacturers have unblushingly copied and catalogued the latest types of Buffalo Down-Draft Forges, 
 sundry applications of the Buffalo Fan System of Heating, Ventilating and Drying, and Buffalo Mechanical Draft 
 Apparatus. Included in these are many direct infringements upon patents issued to this house. Purchasers are 
 requested to exercise due discretion in making selections, as our rights will be vigorously upheld. Buyers of Buffalo 
 goods may rely, as heretofore, upon obtaining the most efficient machinery of the latest and most practical designs, 
 built and furnished with that perfection of detail obtainable only from the resources of a plant unequaled by any 
 similar one in the world in extent or completeness of its equipment.

 DESCRIPTION OF BUFFALO FORGE COMPANY'S WORKS. 
 
 k BOUT BUFFALO. No American city is to-day drawing an amount of new capital and industries equal to 
 that of Buffalo. Its commercial facilities are unexcelled. Twenty-seven railroads enter the city, with nearly 
 700 miles of trackage within the limits, and 250 daily passenger trains. Essentially, Buffalo is the eastern 
 terminus of all the great lake boat lines, therefore, it has unsurpassed facilities for transportation by water routes. 
 Aside from natural advantages, and concerning the usual important features of a city, the comparative standing of 
 Buffalo is very high, and in many cases leads all others. The Falls of Niagara stand perpetually alone in the world 
 for vastness of water and fall, and the stupendous power consequent thereto. They are now harnessed, and electric 
 power at low cost in unlimited amount is available along the entire course of the river. This, coupled also with 
 cheap fuel, affords to Buffalo manufacturing advantages unattainable elsewhere. 
 
 LOCATION OF PLANT. Less than one mile from the business center of the city, the works of the Buffalo 
 Forge Company are situated. The space occupied constitutes the entire block bounded by Broadway, Mortimer, 
 Tousey and Champlin Streets. The Broadway and Sycamore Electric Railway lines (the former being the more 
 direct route) afford ready access to the plant from depots and hotels. 
 
 THE BUILDINGS AND THEIR USES. In the five-story front, right-hand or southeast structure, Buffalo Forges, 
 Hand Blowers, Punch, Shear and Bar Cutters, Blacksmith Drills, Tire Up-setters, Disc Wheels, Steel Pressure Blowers, 
 and " B " Volume Blowers and " B " Exhaust Fans are built. The main steam plant is located on the ground floor. 
 
 The center front building comprises a well-arranged and convenient stock room. The second floor constitutes the 
 sheet and galvanized iron department. Herein the majority of blast wheels for the various types of blowers and 
 exhausters are made. There is a large one and one-half story building, with gallery, on Spring Street, not illustrated 
 in the accompanying engraving, used for warehouse purposes. 
 
 The several one and one-half story structures directly back of the three front brick buildings, are used for the 
 erection of heaters, steel plate fans and planing mill exhausters. The facilities of this department are such as to 
 enable the testing of mammoth steel plate blowers, 30 feet in diameter, to their full capacity. In the section where 
 hot blast heaters are built, many miles of pipe are consumed annually. Frequently, a single heater order requires from 
 four to six miles of one-inch pipe, were it laid in single continuous lengths. The northeast gallery type structure 
 was especially built, arranged and equipped for engine construction, with the most modern and expensive tools. 
 
 All conveniences incident to a modern foundry are provided in the northwest corner building. Adjacent to the 
 various main buildings are pattern vaults, blacksmith shops, etc. The humble original shop of this company is still 
 preserved ; a glance at it and the spacious surrounding ones affords the most vivid picture of the progress of this 
 industry that could be presented.

 TYPICAL INDUSTRIAL WORKS. BUFFALO FORGE COMPANY EQUIPMENT. 
 
 THIS book is no exception to all others issued by manufacturers, and is primarily intended to serve in the 
 capacity of extending the business of our Company. Let no't the reader infer, however, that in its prepar- 
 ation the plan has been to include all of the foremost or latest improved outfits furnished. To "make the 
 publication thus complete would require several times the number of pages included herein. The idea followed out, 
 therefore, has been to select those views which would make the best illustrations. Many of our friends have kindly 
 forwarded photographs of plants models in the way of arrangement and efficiency which, unfortunately, cannot be 
 used on account of the inability to reproduce in presentable half-tones. Excellent interior views can only be obtained 
 under favorable conditions. Too strong inflowing light from windows is disastrous to the securing of good results, 
 while flash-light photographs are uncertain. These difficulties have compelled us to exclude many prominent 
 installations we had hoped to embody. 
 
 A number of the very earliest technical forge shops in America, whose equipments remain in the original forms, 
 here appear. In these the greatest interest centers, for they have been the stepping stones to developments without 
 precedent in the field of Mechanical Technology. Later and the present most approved and modern outfits are also 
 illustrated. The latter embody forges of the down-draft type, and combined blowers and exhausters. The first cost 
 of a down-draft forge system exceeds one of the previous type with overhead piping, but affords a plant almost 
 indestructible. Purchasers of the other form must expect to replace the galvanized iron piping about as frequently 
 as is necessary to renew an ordinary stove-pipe. In this connection the two interior views of the Stout Manual 
 Training School will be of interest. The first building was destroyed by fire soon after its completion. These same 
 forges were taken from the debris, and erected in the new building in position as shown by the engraving. The 
 life and practical indestructibility of a down-draft equipment is thus clearly demonstrated. Individual description 
 of the extent and arrangement of the various plants cannot herewith be presented, but interested parties will be 
 cheerfully furnished with such data upon request, in the form of copies of the specifications and drawings. 
 
 Those unacquainted with the extent of the work of this Company may have formed the impression that forge- 
 shop equipment is the principal portion of our industry. Such is but natural by reason of the word "Buffalo" 
 in itself being typical of the highest perfection in the line of forges, blacksmiths' tools, blowers and exhausters 
 from their inception. But this idea is erroneous. The term is as closely associated with the Fan System of Heating, 
 Ventilating and Drying, Electric Light Engines, Mechanical Draft Outfits, etc. These latter apparati enter as an 
 indispensable factor into a multitude of industrial processes. The machinery is usually of generous size, and involves 
 large tools for its construction, so by far the most extensive portion of the works is the department devoted to the 
 building of Buffalo fans, engines and heaters.

 SMITH-SHOP equipments in industrial plants and technical schools have been revolutionized within the past few 
 years by the patented improvements introduced by this house. A cumbersome overhead piping system of smoke 
 removing, obstructing the view, is no longer a feature of a modern outfit. Designed and constructed with the 
 utmost care, such are at their best inefficient, as they afford too great opportunity for escape of fumes into the shop with- 
 out being caught by the action of the fan. In the better plants of to-day forge smoke and gases are now removed 
 immediately upon being generated at the fire, and are carried through underground pipes, leaving the view of the shop 
 entirely unobstructed and the atmosphere perfectly free. This system is installed in two ways : first, with separate fans, 
 i. e., a blower for furnishing the blast and an exhauster for removing the smoke ; second, with a Buffalo Combined Blower 
 and Exhauster, which performs both duties. In the latter machine, a portion of the air is forced through the blast piping 
 for supplying the blast to the fires, the balance being discharged into the smoke flue. Photographs or drawings of these 
 special fans will be furnished on application. 
 
 A feature of a down-draft forge outfit which commends itself to first consideration is its practical indestructibility. 
 For the steel plate forges extra heavy stock is selected, substantially braced to withstand injury from the heaviest work. 
 The same form of hoods are employed as on the cast iron forges, i. e., heavy grey iron castings. The smoke is carried 
 through glazed tile underground to the exhauster. Contrast such an equipment with the overhead system of piping 
 which must be replaced about as often as ordinary stove pipe by reason of the action of the fumes from the forge fires, 
 and the difference in cost is at once justified. In a number of cases where industrial works have been destroyed by fire, 
 the Buffalo Down-Draft Forges have been removed from the debris uninjured, and erected upon rebuilding the plant. 
 
 The cast-iron adjustable hoods on the Buffalo Down-Draft Forges may be moved close to the fire or drawn back 
 according to conditions and work being performed. They are adapted to all Buffalo Stationary Forges. Whether the 
 application be in manufacturing establishments or railroad repair shops, with the largest fires and heaviest work, or in 
 technical schools, the results are uniformly of the highest efficiency. In forge shops where it has previously been impos- 
 sible to keep the rooms sufficiently clear for economical working conditions, this system has rendered the atmosphere as 
 pure as that of the most modern machine shop. The Buffalo Patented Down-Draft Exhaust System is fully covered by 
 Letters Patent No. 52,945. All infringing manufacturers or users are hereby cautioned against employing any form of 
 down-draft, smoke-removing apparatus. This system is equally suited to hard coal, coke and all furnace fires. The same 
 general plan of removing foul odors, vapors, chemical acid fumes, ventilating hotel kitchens, etc., is equally efficient 
 and has been widely applied to these various situations.

 THE eighteen pages of illustrations of machinery herewith have been selected from our complete General Catalogue 
 merely to show the more familiar forms or standard types. It has not even been possible to represent the various 
 lines of apparatus embraced in our output. Detailed descriptions and prices are also eliminated, and for which 
 see our illustrated library bound catalogue, which will be furnished upon application. 
 
 The Buffalo Stationary Forges on accompanying pages are widely used in the smith shops of schools of Mechanical 
 Technology. A number were primarily designed for this service, while others are regularly used in industrial works. 
 Many other styles than those here shown are built for manufacturing plants, and also for training schools. Catalogues 
 illustrating the complete line will be cheerfully supplied. The term " Stationary Blast Forge" is not used because the 
 forges are immovable like the old-fashioned brick type, for they are easily portable. It arises from the use of an inde- 
 pendent blower fixed at a given point for supplying the blast. In fitting up a forge shop, either for a technical school or 
 manufacturing establishment, the buyer who seeks a well arranged and efficient plant will include a variety of Buffalo 
 Down-Draft Forges, locating those of largest capacity where the heaviest work is performed, likewise suitably placing 
 those intended for light work. Buffalo Stationary Forges, though light in appearance, are very strong. 
 
 The Buffalo Patented Down-Draft Smoke Exhaust Forges represent all that is best in to-day's advanced practice of 
 forge shop equipment. Their use is invariably advised excepting where it is desired to slightly increase the capacity of 
 an existing plant without remodeling it. The first cost of a Buffalo Down-Draft Forge Shop equipment is very moderate, 
 and here the expense practically ends. Repairs are seldom, if ever, required, and in durability and efficiency there is no 
 room for comparison. The indestructibility of this equipment is clearly set forth in the example of the Stout Manual 
 Training School, Menominee, Wis. The first building was totally destroyed by fire, but the forges sustained no injury. 
 They were removed from the debris and erected in the new fire-proof structure. The same results have occurred in 
 industrial works. With this modern equipment the atmosphere of the smith shop is as pure and agreeable to work in as 
 the best machine shop. The gases and smoke are removed at the fire at once upon being generated. It is thus 
 impossible for them to escape into the room. The mere fact that the photographs from which many of the illustrations 
 on preceding pages were made were taken with green fires running at full blast causing maximum amount of smoke, is 
 sufficient comment upon the desirability and superiority of this system. All hoods are of heavy cast iron ; likewise the 
 connection to the tile underground pipe. Enough cold air is incidentally drawn in and mixed by the action of the 
 exhauster to avoid injury from heat. In summer this form of forge shop equipment also insures a minimum temperature.
