The Crank is a monthly journal issued by the Cornell University. STANDARDIZING A RIEHLE 100,000 Lbs. U. S. STANDARD TESTING MACHINE. Among the testing machines of various sizes and kinds employed in the Mechanical Laboratory of Sibley College are two or three Riehle machines, including one of 100,000 and one of 200,000 Ibs. capacity. The standardization of machines of such magnitude is a matter of such serious difficulty that it is rarely attempted by direct comparison with standard weights (U. S.). The usual process with the larger machines is first to standardize up to some convenient weight, then, loading the machine by a pull on a test-piece of large size up to the point thus reached, add weights of standard or standardized magnitude up to some convenient higher figure, next removing as before, and straining up to the new limit by a pull on the test-piece, then once more adding weights, until finally the limit of the proposed test is reached. Direct loading up to 50 or 100 tons is, perhaps, unknown. It has, however, been done here, and our illustration is made from a photograph taken while the machine was thus loaded to its maximum rated figure. This work was undertaken by Messrs. Lombard and Van Everen during the earlier part of the year, in the time m appropriated to the standardization of the various apparatus of the laboratory, and occupied a full day and a night of continuous labor. The photograph exhibits the method of procedure. (The figures in the picture are not likenesses.) The machine was prepared for the loads by laying across its lower platform a heavy beam, 1 2 inches square and about 10 feet long, in such a manner that platforms for carrying the enormous mass of iron to be used could be suspended from its ends, and just clear of the floor, so that a break-down should not cause disaster. A carefully-standardized platform-scale of moderate size was placed beside the machine, and the loads of pig-iron, supplied by the foundry-stockyard, were, increment by increment, compared with the U. S. standard weights, of which the laboratory possesses some thousands of pounds, and then were added to the load on the machine. The comparison of weight indicated by the scale-beam of the testing machine with the weights added were made at first, at short intervals, and later by increments of 500 pounds. The maximum being reached, the same method was adopted as the load was removed, and the ascending was compared with the descending scale. The log thus obtained was then plotted, and the curves so produced were studied to determine the magnitude and the law of variation of errors. During the process of loading, the floor, a concrete and gravel foundation, gave way under the tremendous pressure at the weighted end of the machine, and this interfered slightly with operations at that point. This effect was eliminated, however, and the results were very satisfactory. The machine was found to be correct to within a small fraction of one per cent, of its readings, and the error practically constant. So far as irregular, it was, probably, mainly due to slight variations in the divisions in the scale-beam. The college is very fortunate in the possession of such accurate machines, and this particular machine is as handsome and neatly made as it is accurate.

This machine weighs the strain exerted on test specimens from 10 Ibs. up to 300,000 Ibs ; 100,000 Ibs. is put on the beam, and the balance by standard weights. This style of machine can be arranged with tools for applying strain by tensile, transverse, and compression tests on all kinds of materials that can be subjected to such strains, and for tensile strains for specimens of chain, wire, hemp rope, bridge bolts, boiler plate, and similar articles. By different appliances many varied and special forms can be tested, and designs can be submitted for producing various tests when called upon to do so. Telegraph.

This illustration is of a Riehl6 U. S. Standard Screw-Power Testing Machine of 300,000 Ibs. capacity. We believe no other testing machine is furnished with as wide a range of testing facilities for a great variety of specimens, as this machine will pull bars 6 ft. in length, with an elongation of 3 ft. ; will crush columns 6 ft. in height, and bend timbers or other transverse specimens 18 ft, long. The chief new feature about the present machine is the use of double adjustable cross-heads, both moved by power, which enables the operator to work conveniently on any length of speci- mens from 6 in. to 6 ft., as each head can be brought to the easiest spot for handling. This machine is very easily con- trolled by levers, has eight different speeds, and can be reversed at will. The gears are all cut and the machine runs very smoothly and quietly. The length of specimens for Tension and Compression strains can be increased to 10 ft. at an extra cost. Much of the material is of cast steel and steel castings; bronze nuts are used, and the best workmanship and finish employed throughout. A new quick lever device for throwing in the friction driving gear has been introduced, and is much liked. The beam has the Richie 1 Patented Traveling Vernier Poise, and the calculations have been so made that the counterweight of the beam has been used as a standard weight also, and is raised in the same manner as the weights of the Emery Machine. This feature is much appreciated. In this machine is used a Riehl6 Patented High Faced Wedge Grip, by the use of which it is claimed that flat specimens of materials such as boiler-plate, etc., can be tested in a direct line to the centre of specimen and without the possible tendency to tear from the edge. The High Faced Wedges engage themselves first through the axial line of specimen and from that line outward. Altogether, this machine is deemed a very successful appliance, and we are quite sure that it will become universally adopted where such an appliance is needed. A machine of this type, of 200,000 Ibs. capacity, was built for the School of Practical Science, Toronto, Canada. A Testing Machine, of 300,000 Ibs. capacity, is now being built for the Riehld Testing Laboratory, at the works of Riehle Bros.

This new and handsome type of Machine represents all our latest improvements in the line of convenient, rapidly- adjusted, and automatic Testing Machines. The open heads admit of quick insertion of specimens. The counterbalanced levers hold and adjust the grips in the most convenient manner. The Levers are a handy method of controlling and reversing direction of the tool-holders, and for elastic limit tests the Friction Wheels are most valuable. The Electric Automatic Beam is a new and handsome type, by which the thousand pounds are read on the main beam, and the hundred down to ten pounds on a dial carried on the poise itself, and revolved by means of cut gears and rack inserted on the top of main beam. This poise is moved by electricity, and will advance as the beam arises the latter making the electric circuit, which acts through a magnet to draw in a friction clutch, that thus drives the pulley communicating its motion to the beam hand-wheel. There is also, in connection with this driving apparatus two discs the periphery of one driving against the face of the other by spring pressure. The motion of one of these discs is controlled by a hand-wheel and screw so as to pass across the face of the other. The mechanic will thus see that we have at once a variable speed as the driven gear approaches the centre of the driver, and that when it passes the centre we have the motion reversed, all of which is used conveniently in automatic weighing. In connection with the beam there is also a sliding gib traveling along the bottom of the beam, and secured to the hanger of the poise. This prevents jumping of the poise out of gear from recoil. The most desirable method of operating the Machine seems to be just as performed by this remarkable device as follows : When the specimen is set and the pressure started, the discs are placed on the proper side of the centre and at the speed distance, known by practice to be correct, and the beam then weighs automatically to the point of rupture and there stops. The disc movement is now reversed and a separate switch lever is thrown in circuit, which runs the poise back until a projection on this poise strikes the switch lever and breaks the circuit. This can be at zero or by sliding the switch along a bar under the beam, the poise can be stopped at any point the operator desires. He can operate this beam and poise by hand when preferred.

RIEHLE-BEIMJAMIN EXTENSOMETER. DESCRIPTION. This instrument consists of two aluminum castings which are clamped at their lower ends by hardened steel points to the test-piece. At their upper ends are two levers, one of the first power and one of the third power, each with a bear- ing point of hardened steel directly above and eight inches from the lower clamping point on that side. A trammel is used for prick-punching the specimen so that when the four points of the extensometer are placed in the punch- marks and clamped up the indicator points to zero. The two levers above mentioned are about twelve inches in length and extend horizontally from the clamping device. Jne lever carries a scale the other a pointer, and owing to the different leverage as the specimen elongates, the scale moves downward while the pointer moves upward, thus doubling the leverage as applied to the reading. The instrument reads readily to thousandths or ten-thousandths. The outfit consists of the instrument proper, the trammel bar, and points for prick-punching, and a distance collar for proving the accuracy and adjustment of the extensometer. Instruments are made for other sizes than eight inches, viz. four inches and six inches. Telegraph. BENJAMIN. Price, * IN USE AT CASE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE, PROFESSOR C. H.

Crown, CAPACITY, 100,000 Ibs PRICE, $ The RIEHLE-CROWN TESTING MACHINE is constructed in precisely the same manner as Plate No. 34 or No. 236, imme- diately preceding, excepting as to the beam arrangement. On this Machine is used the Riehle-Reescr Electric Automatic Screw Beam. This is a very complete automatic weighing apparatus, which, while it follows the strain, either increasing or decreasing, will leave a register of the maxium load placed on the test specimen. The patents of this beam cover the principle of a fixed screw beam with a revolving nut or poise ; the circumference of this poise is graduated by ten pounds up to 1,000 Ibs., for each revolution corresponding to the pitch of the screw. The 1,000 pound marks are read from an Indicator on the side beam, and the hundreds on the poise adjacent. The poise runs forward or back by means of two sets of miters and friction clutches, which being on opposite sides of the first driver take opposite directions. These clutches are operated by means of a magnet and battery, the wires of which are connected to a counter- balancing lever beam, which by its vibration between the poles by the rise and fall of the pressure, controls the motion of the poise to suit. The extreme travel of the poise is indicated by a very light traveler carried forward by the poise itself, and left at the furthest point, while the poise registers its revolution by a pointer which is carried in the forward direction, but is not carried backward because the joint is allowed to trip and let it pass. It is very accurate and a fine piece of workmanship.

RIEHLE UNIVERSITY' WEIGHING BEAM FOR TESTING MACHINES. Telegraph. University. Price, WITH VERNIER POISE. Patented August l6th, 1887. Plate No. 262. DESCRIPTION. Our Vernier Poise consists of a traveling weight operated by a hand-wheel whose axis corresponds very nearly with the point of pivot, or point of no vibration of the beam. When the wheel is turned it does not therefore disturb the equilibrium of the beam. The hand-wheel shaft carries a small pulley which propels the poise by mean of a cord. There is a tightener and pulley at the other end for adjustment. The beam is graduated in 100 Ib. marks and the poise arranged as a Vernier to read to 10 Ibs, in the usual way. \ OPERATION AND ADVANTAGES. This beam arrangement was designed to enable the operator to weigh continuously and easily while using the force pump at the same time. It makes it possible and convenient for a single person to conduct a test and keep the beam and the pressure in equilibrium, and avoids the necessity of manipulating the main and jockey poises at every 1,000 pounds of pressure. It also furnishes a means of following rapid increments of pressure, otherwise difficult to secure. 18 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-PACIFIC AUTOMATIC FLAT CARD ATTACHMENT FOR RECORDING ACTION OF MATERIALS DURING PROCESS OF TESTING ON TESTING MACHINES. (THIS ATTACHMENT CAN BE USED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE LARGER SIZE TESTING MACHINES.) Plate No. 221. Telegraph, Pacific. Price, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. This style of card was designed with a view to supplying those test engineers who are averse to using a cylinder or drum, and who prefer a flat card, where all of the diagram is exposed at once. It consists of a plate of sheet brass mounted on rollers, so as to travel easily, and actuated in a forward and backward movement by an endless chain, with a tightening device, and driven from the same gear as those operated by the hand- wheel in propelling the poise. By altering the ratio of these gears, it will be seen that the proportion between the relative travel of the poise and card plate can be adjusted. To secure the vertical movement corresponding in this case to the amount of stretch, an extensometer has been arranged with telescopic slides which hold the instrument in line during extension of the specimen. There are two of these slides, one on each side of specimen, and corresponding to the pointed adjusting screws. A third joint is arranged with a loose sliding plunger capable of following up the stretch of the specimen, and communicating its movement to a fine wire, which leads to a small drum, around which it is wrapped once or twice, and tension applied by means of a small weight. The drum can be made in steps so that another wire may lead off from a size five or ten times the size of the smaller, thus magnifying the stretch proportionally. The wire then leads over a guide pulley to the pencil bar, which descends in a vertical line as the yielding of the specimen allows the plunger to fall. There is a screw adjustment to bring the plunger and its pencil to zero, and the combination of the two movements as described forms a diagram curve on the paper sheet secured to the brass plate in the usual manner, RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-GRAY AUTOMATIC WEIGHING AND RECORDING ATTACHMENT. PATENT APPLIED FOR. Plate No. 229. Telegraph. Gray. Price, . $ DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. This instrument is intended for making a complete automatic strain diagram, and has the peculiar feature of giving two curves one of the full test; the other of the test within the elastic limit, and very much enlarged. As shown in the construction, the clamping device multiplies the stretch of the piece twice by the time it comes to the connecting rod, and at the same time eliminates any error from the stretch of the test bar between the clamps and where it is fastened in the heads. These clamps are of a new and improved pattern, and are adjustable to tension pieces of any length and thickness, or to compression test pieces, and are provided, at the attachment to the piece, with a device for following up any diminution in the dimensions of the test piece caused by the stress. The first end of the upper clamp-bar hangs in a stirrup from the head of the machine, thus forming a fixed point ; and the lower clamp is fixed at its final end to the connecting rod by pendant piece of the same length as the connection between the upper and lower clamp, thus securing arcs of the same radius. The connecting rod is surmounted by a post with an adjusting screw in its top, so that the bearings of this post can be brought up under the knife edges of the first lever of the sensitive system helping to counter-poise this set by the thrust from beneath. By means of the removable link, and by having pivots at different points in the first two levers of this system, the curve within the elastic limit can be taken at any one of the five multiplications from 100 to 500. By means of the large lever the full curve of the test is plotted, and by using the three fulcrum points, as shown in the illustration, this curve gives the elongation at any one of three multiplications. By this means, we adapt our curve to the nature of material under strain. By means of the adjustment at the top of the connecting rod, we can make use of the high multiplications by bringing the pencil back to the zero line each time it approaches the top of the card, thus enabling us to extend the diagram any length without passing off the card. The vertical travel of the pencil represents deformation in the test piece, while the rotation of the drum means weight. By the use of the spring on the end of the beam the machine can be adjusted to different degrees of sensitiveness that is, giving the spring one-tenth the tension, the sensitiveness of the card increases ten times. By the use of the poise a convenient method of proving the accuracy is always available, so that the machine can be quickly set to give the greatest scope in the test curve. The method of proving the spring is to use a piece of steel whose elastic limit exceeds the load applied to it, and this load is accurately weighed by means of the poise. The poise is then moved back to zero, and the spring attached, and the revolution of the drum accurately noted. Standard profile paper is used on the drum, and the tapes put on the proper cone of the drum so that the weight can be accurately determined at any point of the test. ' * 20 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. NONPAREIL AUTOMATIC CARD ATTACHMENT FOR TESTING MACHINE. Plate No. 23O. Telegraph. Nonpareil. Price, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. This is a very simple apparatus for making a diagram of the test curve, and consists of a cylinder mounted on a bracket and capable of being revolved easily by a tape or wire attached to the pulley which is a part of the bottom of this cylinder. The wire connects with a telescopic Extensometer which is fastened to the specimen by convenient screws, one of which, in each pair, has a spring to follow up reduction of area in specimen. The elongation of the specimen takes up the connecting wire at each side, thus doubling the actual stretch, and any further multiplication can be given by means of an intermediate drum with different sizes of steps for the purpose. This elongation of the specimen causes the drum to revolve on its axis, while the vertical ordinates, of pressure, are obtained by means of a rack and gears operated from the hand-wheel, which causes the poise to travel, and any convenient reduction of this travel can be made to suit the nature of the specimen or pleasure of the observer. 21 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-PAINE EXTENSOMETER. Plate No. 168. Tel f graph. Paine. Price DESCRIPTION. This instrument was invented by Colonel W. H. Paine, for use on the Brooklyn Bridge. It can be made to read from thousandths up to ten-thousandths of an inch (and finer if necessary) by means of a vernier. The ordinary form reads to one-thousandth of an inch, on right-angle arm, and to ten-thousandths of an inch by a vernier. It is wholly mechanical in operation and is for either tension or compression. This instrument operates on the bell-crank lever principle, and magnifies the stretch in proportion to the arms of lever employed. It is very light and is generally held to the specimen by the pressure of a coiled spring fork. It is secured in this way to the centre-punch marks in the specimen, and the slides adjusted to zero, then any extension moves the long arm of the lever and pushes the little scale along the stationary one and reading by a vernier gives quite accurate and fine measurements. Arrangements have been made with the Executor of the estate of W. H. Paine, whereby the " Paine Exten- someter " can be only made by the Riehle Bros. Testing Machine Co. NOTICE. This is the instrument that saved the Niagara Suspension Bridge from being condemned. When attached to any large cables it was found to be so delicate that every car, as it was run on, indicated its weight by the stretch of the instrument in loads as small as one ton. 22 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-YALE EXTENSOMETER. Plate No. 179. Ttlegra/Ht. Yale. Price. DESCRIPTION. This Extensometer is a simplification of the Marshall apparatus, embodying its best points, yet with some improve- ments to increase ease and accuracy of adjustment ; notably, by introduction of the squaring gauge bar, which keeps the clamps parallel, brings the points of measurement opposite, and gauges the length. It reads to ten thousandths, by micrometer screw, giving readings on each side of specimen for an average. It has special clamps on top for tightening different lengths of measuring-bar, and just below an adjusting wheel for bringing screw to zero. An electric battery and bell can be attached, if desired, for making contact. The squaring gauge bars are made in different lengths, as ordered, the one illustrated above shows a bar measuring eight inches between points. NOTE.

RIEHLE-BUZBY HAIR-LINE EXTENSOMETER Telegraph. Buzby. Price, Plate No. 169. DESCRIPTION. This instrument reads to thousandths of an inch, or closer if desired, and is readily applicable to specimens of different lengths. The two clamps being attached only to the specimen, the instrument can be used on any Testing Machine, and it is wholly mechanical in operation. It consists of the two clamps, to each of which is attached a steel bar. These bars pass each other, having between them a roller and the whole being incased in a sleeve with tension attachment, so that the slightest motion of the clamps relatively to each other produces a revolving motion of the roller. To the outer end of the roller is attached the disc, as shown in photograph, so that the motion of the roller is largely multiplied on the rim of the disc, which is graduated. In front of the rim will be observed the upper end of the arm carrying a cross-hair in front, and a mirror behind the disc. By this simple method a very accurate reading is obtained by bringing the three points in a line. The cross-hair arm has an adjusting screw for bringing the cross-hair and mirror to proper position longitudinally to catch the reflection and take the reading. To operate this instrument it is only necessary to clamp it to the specimen, and adjusting the mirror and cross- hair, revolve the disc by hand until the zero line corresponds with the cross-hair and its reflection. Strain is then applied to the specimen and readings taken as desired in the same manner as described. For the fine reading a magnifying glass can be used with added comfort, which will enable the operator to read to half a thousandth. If desired this instrument can be made as a double reader, and a mean of both sides taken. It is very simple and handy, and though not generally graduated finer than .001, it can be, while it has a much greater range of stretch than many others.

It is wholly mechanical in operation, so that no battery is necessary, and ta:i be used on any Testing Machine. It is adjustable to specimens of six and eight inches in length, and is made in a modified form for two-inch specimens. It is made in a cheap form to read on one side, indicating the total stretch ; or in the regular double reading form the sum of the two sides gives a mean reading equivalent to the total stretch. It is adjusted to the specimen by the clamp screws in the usual manner, and the ends of the graduations are then brought together at zero at both sides at the same time. Pressure is then applied to the specimen, and the readings taken in the same manner as any scale and vernier, the scale being graduated to thousandths and by the vernier to ten-thousandths.

It consists of an upper clamp in which are two insulated bars which are capable of adjustment for specimens from two inches to eight inches in length. These bars are connected by wires to a circuit in which a bell and battery are placed; the lower clamp, in addition to the set screw which holds it to the specimen, has a spring and roller attachment, which, in connection with a spirit level, assists in the accuracy of the reading. The two micrometer screws have a vertical fleet of one inch; the readings on the rim of the disc indicate ten- thousandths. In operation a certain increment of load is added, the reading taken first on one and then on the other micrometer screw by running them up until the contact of the point of the screw with the insulated bar causes the bell to ring. Another increment is then added and the readings taken again, and so on until the elastic limit is reached, the average of the readings at each increment giving the actual stretch on the axial line.

Price, The illustration represents our gauge for measuring minute extensions of specimens, within the limit of elasticity. It consists, as shown, of the graduated micrometer screw, reading in thousandths up to one inch, and having pointed extension pieces attached, for gauging the distance between the small projections on the collars, fastened to the specimen at the proper distance. These collars are partly self-adjusting by the springs which help to centralize them. They are then clamped in place by means of the pointed set screws on the sides, and measurements are made between the projections on opposite sides of the specimen, and compared to denote any changes in shape or variations in the two sides. These gauges can be made six, eight, or ten inches in length, or can be provided with interchangeable points to suit all three.

RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-JACOBI MERCURY COLUMN EXTENSOMETER. DESCRIPTION. The principle of this apparatus is the difference in volume of the two cylinders, by which a very minute movement of the large plunger is multiplied many times in the thermometer tube. Elongations of specimens are read to ten- thousandths of an inch by the graduation. By arranging the large plunger and cylinder so they can be attached to a specimen, and with screw adjustments for regulating the height of columns to zero, this becomes a very sensitive measuring apparatus.

TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. RIEHLE-SCOTT VERNIER FOR NOTING MOVEMENT OF TOOL HOLDERS. Plate No. 29. Telegraph. Scott. Price, This illustration represents a Vernier attachment for measuring elongations of specimens. It consists of a bar of three-eighths square metal, properly secured to the column casting, and upon it slides an adjustable vernier which can be set to any point. A scale is attached to the cross- head of machine in such a manner as to read properly with the vernier. When a specimen is set and the wedges have secured a solid grip, the vernier is adjusted and the reading taken. Subsequent readings can be had at any required pressure, thus securing the elongations corresponding to those points. This apparatus was designed by Mr. Irving M. Scott, of Union Iron Works, San Francisco, Cal., and is in use at that place : it indicates the movement of the cross-head holding the wedge grips that secure the specimen in place. As noted above, the elongation of the specimen should only be recorded after the specimen is firmly gripped by the wedges, and after all slipping of the tools or specimen has taken place. The scale B is secured to the movable cross-head of testing machine by screws (shown in drawing). A is a bar of iron fastened to the frame of testing machine by screws at a and b.

The above represents a new Micrometer Caliper. It has one leg movable to enable it to be inserted in small holes in plates, boilers, etc., and designed to measure the thickness of material up to i inch at any place selected. While originally designed for the Steam-Boiler Inspection service, it has been found useful in many unlooked-for directions, as it can be used as an ordinary Micrometer Caliper, as well as when the movable leg is available. The measuring leg is graduated to one-thousandths of an inch, as in the ordinary Micrometer Caliper, but is also provided with a lock (shown in the knurled set screw in the cut) for fixing the measurement; a slight pressure is sufficient to secure it. In operating through small apertures (a J^-in. gas tap hole is large enough) release knurled nut two turns ; then the movable leg is pressed downward until a pin fitting into a socket on it is disengaged, and allows it to be turned around on its axis. The movable leg is then hooked through the hole, and turned until the feather above mentioned slips into the slot, which brings the two caliper points into line, and is thrown up against its shoulder by a spring, after which the knurled nut is secured up tight again. The graduated leg is then adjusted and locked, the movable leg pressed down and turned as before, and the Caliper removed. When Calipering in dark places, the measurement being fixed, the Caliper can be taken out into the light and read, instead of being obliged to read it before removing. The small hole necessary for inserting the Caliper in boiler shells, is closed by driving a copper rivet instead of tap and plug. Names and Addresses of Parties Using Riehle-SIoane Calipers.

The lower cross-head is worked up and down the two main screws by an ingenious device that is always ready for operation, and does its part quickly and accurately. The power is applied to the specimen by hydraulic pump and jack. The pump gives a steady flow, insuring a fair and even pull on the test-piece. The plunger is returned to its original position by means of a spring arrangement extending beneath the floor. Any other suitable device can be provided if preferred. The poise is moved along the weighing-beam by means of a chain and performs its functions in an especially satisfactory manner. It is well designed and carefully built with the best material and in a workmanlike manner. One great convenience of this machine is that the operator can weigh and pump continuously, and with ease, at the same time.

This is a very simple and practical power pump of steady flow and great capacity, and is very useful for any heavy hydraulic pumping. It is used with the " Riehle " 100 and 2oo-ton Chain Testers. The steady flow, so much desired by engineers for testing, is secured by placing the eccentrics at 120 degrees angles, which gives very little, if any, pulsation to the stroke. The valves are all readily accessible without taking down any of the main parts of the pump, and power is applied in the simplest and most direct manner. This pump is furnished with a change of gears by which it can be run at either fast or slow speed, and a clutch pulley for stopping and starting. Both gears and pulley are controlled by convenient levers. This pump can be built in a somewhat cheaper form with only two plungers ; also with a single set of gears for one speed only ; or for light work, without any gearing, the driving pulley being direct on eccentric shaft. 41 RIEHLE BROS.

RIEHLE PATENT WEDGE GRIP FOR TESTING MACHINES. PATENTED NOVEMBER 8TH, 1881. fi S 3. iff u c ILL Fig. 4. DESCRIPTION. Fig. i is a plan of Wedge Clamp, with specimens in position ; C C, curved-face Wedges : D, specimens; E, is a pin that is used to guide the specimen to the centre of the testing tools. It is only added when specially ordered. Fig. 2 is sectional view of same. Fig. 3 is a modification of the wedge face. Fig. 4 is a large engraving. The inclination of the surfaces of wedges are exaggerated in the drawings so as to distinctly set forth their features. The Patent high-face Wedge, as illustrated in cut to the right, is intended for gripping flat specimens in any test- ing machine provided with slotted holding heads. The intelligent reader will see at a glance the design of the simple device. The face of Wedge is highest through its centre, longitudinally, which causes the specimen to align itself in- stantly, and as the pressure increases the teeth penetrate and hold from the centre outward, and never from the edges inward, making it an impossibility to tear from the edges. Those Wedges and Liners that have rounded backs or ball joints cannot prevent a side strain or torsion when the "bite" is firmer on one side of specimen, or when the opposite corners above and below are held more firmly. The slipping from dull teeth, or iron hard in spots, or from scaling, can never occur in the Riehle Wedge to throw the speci- men out of line. The complete failure of ball grips of all kinds is admitted ; the scale, rust, or small particles settling in them causes their movement to stiffen, and if a specimen has not sufficient strength to align them, it breaks when out of plumb. The assertion can be safely made that no testing machine will pull a plain flat bar perfectly true with convenience and simplicity without this patented grip.

Plate 232 is a sectional view of a self-adjusting Grip for holding square, round, or flat specimens. The wedges that hold the test-pieces bear against adjustable plates, which are provided with semi-spherical surfaces on their opposite sides. These surfaces bear in turn against the inside edge of the tools, which are concave, and of suitable proportions to admit of a free motion of the several corresponding parts. These Grips have in some cases given satisfaction and in other cases proved a failure, mainly on account of the par- ticles of iron that fly off as the specimen stretches and lodge back of the Grip, forming there a solid mass which prevents the wedges from moving as they are intended to. We also recommend the Riehle Patent Wedge Grips for flat speci- mens as preferable to Ball Joint Wedges. The Riehle Patent Wedge Grips are described on folio 45 of this catalogue. 4 6 RIEHLE BROS.

The mode of operating is very simple, the power being applied with great ease, and may be withdrawn instantly after testing the specimen. By the use of proper appliances elliptic and semi-elliptic springs of all sizes and shapes may be tested on this machine. The power is produced with a hydrostatic pump. The plunger with its table (whereupon the spring is placed to undergo the test) is forced upward toward the upper table. The pressure thus being applied is communicated to the main beam (which is ad- justed to a balance like an ordinary scale) by accurate weighing mechanism, each lever being regulated to the United States standard. The beam is kept in equipoise by simultaneously operating the pump and placing weights on the dish at the end of the beam. The dynamic movement (one inch) to test the springs while under pressure is, we believe, greater in this machine than in any other tester made. IN USE BY GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY Co., Montreal, Canada.

This Compression Testing Machine is arranged with the weighing beam and system of multiplying levers, all tested and regulated in accord with the United States standard of weights, at Washington, D. C., and delicately adjusted to weigh the strain exerted on the specimen. The power exerting the strain on test-piece is produced by a worm and gear, which can be disengaged and the plain hand-wheel used when desired for speed. The above machine can be arranged for making tensile tests of specimens of belting by using the proper tools (Plate No. 269) ; also for testing wire (Plate No. 268). By proper appliances any material can be tested up to the capacity of the machine. Of course, this machine can be used without having the compression tests at all ; that is, used for tensile machine. The specimen in process of testing is clearly shown in the above illustration, resting upon the platform of metal sus- pended from the lower lever of the machine. The strain upon the test-piece is produced by turning the wheel below in front of the frame, which causes the stirrup, which is located at the centre point of specimen, to bear down upon the same, and the strain thus produced is transmitted to the weighing-beam through the intermediate lever. The weighing-beam must be kept in equipoise by shifting the poise, the power being applied simultaneously with the movement of the poise, and continuing the operation until the test is concluded. Care must be taken that the weighing- beam is balanced before the testing is begun, or the test-piece in position. Additional standard weights are supplied to suspend on the small end of the weighing-beam, as occasion requires, to balance the strain up to the full strength of the test-specimen. . ( Telegraph.

Revolve the hand wheel, which applies the strain, and as the Beam raises move out the Poise. Keep the Beam in equipoise by the simultaneous addition of the power or strain, and the operation of the Poise until the specimen breaks or has been tested to the desired strain. The proper strain is being weighed only while the Beam is in exact equipoise. Additional standard weights are applied to suspend on the small end of the weighing beam as occasion requires. The calculations are made so that the beam registers the centre load. (See folios 3, 4, 5, and 6, paragraphs 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and others.) IN USE BY S3 PETTEE MACHINE WORKS, Upper Newton Falls, Mass.

This popular Transverse Testing Machine is arranged with the weighing beam and system of multiplying levers, all tested and regulated in accord with the United States Standard of Weights at Washington, D. C., and deli- cately adjusted to weigh the strain exerted on the specimen. The power exerting the strain on test-piece is produced by a worm and gear, which can be disengaged and the plain hand-wheel used when desired for speed. The best of materials are used, and the workmanship is first-class in every particular. OPERATION. The specimen in process of testing is clearly shown in the above illustration, one end resting upon a A shaped piece of metal, the other end being suspended from the lower lever of the machine. The strain upon the test-piece is produced by turning the wheel below in front of the frame, which causes the stirrup, which is located at the centre point of specimen, to bear down upon the same, and the strain thus produced is transmitted to the weighing-beam through the intermediate lever. The weighing-beam must be kept in equipoise by shifting the poise, the power being applied simultaneously with the movement of the poise, and continuing the operation until the test is concluded. Care must be taken that the weighing-beam is balanced before the testing is begun, or the test-piece in position. Additional standard weights are supplied to suspend on the small end of the weighing-beam, as occasion requires, to balance the strain up to the full strength of the test-specimen. The calculations are made so that the beam registers the centre load. In use by many leading founders and machinists.

Standard " Cement Testing Machine was designed after a thorough examination of the most approved forms of machines in use in this country and in Europe, with ADDITIONS and IMPROVEMENTS introduced by us to suit the requirements of American Engineers and Manufacturers. The Machine, as now constructed, was made according to specifications given by the Chief Engineer of the Department of Public Works, of New York City, to test briquettes of one and two-inch areas, and was tested, by order of the Department, up to its full capacity of 1,000 Ibs., with a Dynamometer especially adapted for the purpose, and found absolutely correct. Since that time all the Machines made by us have been constructed in conformity with the specifications aforesaid, and have never failed to perform their duty to the satisfaction of the parties using them. The claims of superiority of the " Standard " Machine over all others that have been offered to the public are based on the fact that it is constructed on strictly scientific principles, calculated to do the work rapidly, correctly, and, if necessary, at all times up to the full capacity of the Machine, viz. : 1,000 Ibs., without danger of injuring it or impairing the working parts by constant use. To make a Machine more compact than the " Standard" necessitates the use of a complication of leverage, which tends to affect the accuracy of the Machine. All appliances of this kind have been studiously avoided by us, as the nature of the material to be tested DOES NOT ADMIT of a sacrifice of accuracy to possible convenience. The method adopted in the " Standard " of applying the strains by means of a pulling screw, and a traveling poise on the beam in the hands of the operator, who can use the power to be applied either fast or slow, as occasion may require, is the ONLY CORRECT METHOD OF TESTING A SUBSTANCE that varies in its consistency as much as cement. The " Standard " is NOT A UTOMA TIC, but responds to every call made upon it, recording from i Ib. to 1,000 Ibs. with an accuracy that does not admit of adverse criticism. The arrangement of the " Grips " on the " Standard " (SWINGING THEM ON PINS) is used only on this Machine, and requires no explanation or comment from us, as the advantages are perfectly apparent to any one who knows the inaccurate results consequent upon gripping a briquette of cement otherwise than on a " dead-straight line," which is impossible with the " Pin Grip." The " Standard " Grip can be used as readily on the i-inch briquette recommended by the American Society of Civil Engineers (or any i-inch briquette), as well as on the figure 8 briquette adopted by the Department of Public Works of New York City, thus giving engineers and others an opportunity of making comparisons if so disposed. OPERATION. After the briquette is prepared it is placed in the grips, and, being carefully adjusted, the hand-wheel connected by a screw to the lower grip, is turned from left to right, and continued until the indicator of weighing beam (which moves in a gate at the top of the Machine and nearly on a line with the eye of the operator) drops. This indicator moves the reverse of the weighing beam, and when too much strain is exerted it falls, and when too much weight is applied it raises to the top of gate. It is important that the indicator should vibrate in the centre of the gate, and rest neither up nor down. This result can be attained by carefully manipulating the large hand-wheel and the simultaneous movement of the poise on the weighing beam. When the indicating beam drops down, when the test first begins, the rest of the test can usually continue without again moving the large hand-wheel, which is shown underneath the end of shelf. As is readily understood, the operator propels the poises backward and forward by means of the hand-wheel (at butt end of weighing beam) and cord passing around a pulley at the other end of machine. By a little practice a person gets very expert, and can make a test with facility. A FEW SPECIAL FEATURES OF THIS STYLE OF TESTING MACHINE. A. The poise moves quietly and smoothly on weighing beam. B. The weighing beam is long, and the marks not too close together. The slightest movement of the beam is promptly and plainly ob- served by the motion of the indicator. C. All the parts of the " Standard " are uniform and interchangeable, and made by special machinery. D. The levers are tested and sealed to U. S. Standard Weight. E. Strength and simplicity in construction, convenience in operation, and accuracy of results. The followi"g articles are useful in preparing cements for testing, and can be furnished by Riehle Bros.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. This machine was designed to meet the demand for a cheaper form of cement tester than our regular "standard," and one which would not occupy so much office room. Most of the room taken by this apparatus is in the vertical direction, and" can therefore be easily spared. The base is screwed fast to a table or shelf, sufficiently near the edge to allow the crank to turn. The specimens are then inserted in the grips, adjustment being made by the crank to suit the length of specimen, and when all is set fair and in readiness the pressure is applied smoothly and steadily by revolving the crank. The dial gauge has about i */ inches of movement, and as it descends allows the wedge at the rear slide to drop and block the gauge and pointer from the shock of a sudden recoil at fracture, as well as leaving the register of the maximum load. The gauge is then relieved by means of the handle bar. A piece of pipe can also be used in connection with the bar for increase of power and ease of motion. The wedge is then withdrawn, and pointer allowed to return to zero. The dial gauge can be removed and tested for accuracy at any time. We believe this machine will prove very handy and convenient. 59 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA.

RUBBER POINT CEMENT GRIP. Plate No. 175. Telegraph. Cock. Price, DESCRIPTION. The Cement Grip above illustrated is a special form designed to prevent the Grip from cutting into the briquette, and causing it to break at other points than that of smallest area. The tendency of briquettes to break elsewhere than at the smallest point is well known, and various efforts have been made to overcome the annoyance, which has been proved by experiments to be chiefly due to imperfect centering of the briquettes in the Grips. A series of experiments having proved that a cushion at the edge of Grips would prevent the breakage complained of, the W. R. C. Grip is placed on the market with the assurance that to a great extent it overcomes the difficulty, and gives a larger proportion of central fractures than any Grip heretofore used. The line of contact between Grip and briquette is a rubber tube mounted on a pin. This rubber tubing can be bought at slight expense, and can be readily replaced when worn out. We illustrate below comparative results of breaking cement briquettes by a Standard and a W. R. C. Grip. Five briquettes were broken with the Standard, and five with the W. R. C. BROKEN WITH STANDARD GRIP. BROKEN WITH W. R. C. GRIP. Cement was carefully sifted through a 5o-mesh sieve, and the briquettes made at the Testing Laboratory of the Lawrence Cement Co., New York. The results shown clearly substantiate the claim that " imperfect fractures are due to the use of the old style Grip," and the perfect fractures to a Grip with protected edges. The central fractures made with the W. R. C. Grip are attributed to the fact that the yielding of the rubber allowed the briquettes to centre themselves perfectly. The Grip is in use by a number of Engineers, and we append the following letter showing some results obtained from its use : NEW YORK, January 2cl, 1892. RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., GENTLEMEN : The " W. R. C." Grip has proved very satisfactory to us. During the last year we broke some 1,500 or more briquettes of a number of different brands of cement, both Portland and Rosendale. Over 95 per cent, of these broke within one-sixteenth of an inch of the smaller section, and not one broke more than one-quarter of an inch from the centre. The briquettes were all made and broken by a young man who had no previous experience in this kind of work. We usually found that bad breaks were caused by some visible defect in the briquettes.

The extreme height of the machine is 5 feet 6 inches; width, about 24 inches; depth, 8 inches. The motion of screw for taking up the slack of specimens is 8 inches. The apparatus stands upon the floor, and the beam comes in con- venient reach of the experimenter, who can move the poise on same with one hand and turn the wheel that applies the strain with the other. In operating the machine the weighing of the test and the increasing of the power should be done simultaneously and the beam kept swinging entirely free, touching neither the upper nor lower bar. This Testing Machine is positively accurate and reliable, and so simple that there is no likelihood of its becoming deranged. The accuracy of the weighing levers can be tested at any time by suspending a known weight therefrom and moving the poise out to balance the same, and then observe that the weights agree. These levers are all regulated to the standard of the United States Government by weights sealed by the United States officials.

This photograph illustrates the Riehle New Iron Frame Torsional Testing Machine, which has met with favor be- yond our expectation. It was first sold to a prominent railroad company for their Testing Department, and since it has been purchased by the Russian and Brazilian Governments, and several institutions of learning. The fixed head carrying Self-Centring Grips has arms one foot in length, projecting either side of the grip-head (which is supported on a knife edge). To prevent the grip-head from lifting from its position, the one-foot arms are connected to an equalizing lever underneath, and this in turn connects the weighing beams, where the strain is recorded in foot-pounds without any calcu- lation on the part of the operator. The Cone Pulley has four sizes diameters, and is driven from the Countershaft which is furnished if ordered. Countershaft should not run faster than 30 or 40 revolutions. This Machine is constructed entirely of iron, brass, and steel, and is of handsome design and finish. The levers and Weighing Beam are adjusted to the Standard of the U. S. Government at Washington. A modification of this design enables the power to be applied by hand instead of power, although if power is at hand it is much better to have the machine run by this method.

This compact Machine consists of a Master Car Builders' Axle Journal, which is removable from main spindle. This journal is made to revolve by Cone Pulley at different speeds, and in either direction, and can be loaded to different pressures per inch by means of the lever system. The oil can be applied through hole in top, which is tapped to receive Sight Feed Oiler, or funnel or other arrangement. There is also a hole for Thermometer to take temperature. The Friction is weighed on the beams, which are arranged in double system to balance each other, and so Machine can be run in either direction. The opening in frame over journal is made large enough to take a regular "car box if desired. The Frame and Beams can be raised by rope sling and hoist for change of journal, cleaning up, etc., etc. There is an end motion of about ^ to fo inch given to axle by the gearing shown at the end, giving a very natural move- ment, like cars. The weighted end of spindle runs loose on large rollers, to avoid friction and heating. IN USE BY ST. PAUL & NORTHWESTERN RAILROAD Co St. Paul, Minn.

TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. Sole owners and makers under Patents of September I4th, 1886, and May I7th, 1887. Plate No. 19O. DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION. The above engraving is from a photograph recently taken of the " RIEHLE PATENTED NEW MARBLE MOLDING AND COUNTERSINKING MACHINE," and embodies all the latest improvements. The machine is shown resting upon a block of stone, which is generally set upon a brick foundation. It is automatic in all its movements, and with the several appliances will perform a great variety of work on stone, such as molding, countersinking, etc. It is claimed that this machine will do the work of six or eight men in countersinking wash-stand slabs, besides leaving a much cleaner and smoother surface to polish. The arrangement of slides is such that a cross-feed in either direction is obtained, and by an extra rotary table actuated by worm and gear, a rotary movement is added. This is used in beveling the hole of wash-stand tops. By the three levers shown in front of machine, the different feed movements are thrown in and out of gear by the clutches which control them; and by skillful handling of the combinations a number of movements can be obtained, such as diagonal and spiral, in addition to the regular, long, cross, and rotary feed. The use of the crank permits of hand adjustment when power is off. The upper bracket, carrying the driving shaft and gearing, is stationary, while the lower, carrying the cutter and^ spindle, is adjusted to the proper depth of cut by the hand- wheel and screw as shown. 79 RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. The two large pulleys on driving shaft are now driven by a sliding clutch operated between them, and as these pulleys are driven at speeds of about 75 and 120 revolutions respectively, we have the choice of these speeds according to circumstances. This machine is compact, substantial, and well made, and will do all that is claimed for it. Twenty-eight slabs of Italian marble, 2o"x3o", are said to have been countersunk in ten hours, and it is claimed by some who have used this machine that 20 slabs can be maintained. But comparatively little power is required to run this countersinking machine, as the revolutions of the cutters are slow. By using different cutters a variety of molding can be obtained, and the table, which moves, can be guided so as to cut in straight lines, circles, or any angle diagonally. The table is made long enough to support the largest piece of marble that is likely to be required, such as hotel wash-basins with a number of holes. The operator has the machine under perfect control. This machine has a double change of feed for cutters, by shi fting a clutch on driving-shaft. It also embodies the con- venient shifter lever, controlling two changes of driving speed. The machines with long bed have an extra lever at end of table, making quadruple feed change and quick table return. The Rotary and Corner Slab Tables have cut gear-teeth, and are driven from their outer periphery, giving them smoothness of running, which is very desirable. The Pedestals of Surface Molder have been lengthened, so as to allow of cutting deeper moldings, up to about three-quarters of an inch deep. It is safe to commend this machine with the greatest confidence, as being the best appliance for accomplishing the purpose for which it is constructed. Notwithstanding the fact that the machine is fully- protected by letters-patent in every detail, and that the material and workmanship are first-class, and that it has become a necessity, and actually indispensable, we have not taken advantage of our position in demanding what it is really worth to the purchaser, but are asking a very moderate price. 1st. What the Plain Machine will do. It will countersink the slabs and drop the faucet-stands (Figs, i, 2, and 3), and mold the edge in O. G., bevel, or other shapes, the cutter working on a vertical axis. The feeds are either hand or automatic, at the will of the operator, and the tables move back or forth, from side to side, or in diagonal lines. 2d. What the Rotary Table Will do. (Shown in illustration to the left of centre.) The Rotary Table feeds either by hand or automatically, at the will of the operator, and does its work in circles, spirals, and curves. By the combination of the feeds of the Rotary Tables with those of the lower tables, lines of any shape can be made. It is not necessary to remove the Rotary Table when straight lines are wanted, as by throwing out the Rotary Table feed, it works the same as a Plain Machine. 3d. The Surface-Molder. (Shown in illustration on Quarter-Circle Table.) The Surface Molder cuts from a horizontal axis, and is used for making panels, for laying out panels in plain slabs, for vestibule sides, wainscoting, etc. It will cut at any distance inside the slab (see Fig. 4). It is largely used for channeling or ploughing to simulate joints, or to hide joints for lintels and door or window-casings. 4th. The Quarter-Circle Table. (Illustrated on Circular to the right of centre.) The Quarter-Circle or Corner Slab Table is used for countersinking corner-basin slabs, and its feed is so arranged that travel per second is the same whether cutting close to the centre or to the outer edge. The regular cutter-head furnished with the Machine has six steel knives, which are ground to suit the shape of molding required. Fig. 1. Fig. 2. Fig. 3. So Fig. 4. Fig. 5. RIEHLE BROS. TESTING MACHINE CO., PHILADELPHIA. Plate 181 represents the regular countersinking cutter-head furnished with the Machine. This head receives cutters of ^ inch by ^ inch, or ^ inch by T \ inch steel, held in place by set-screws ; the thrust of the cut being received on the washer-plate behind. This style of cutter-head is also made in a larger size with eight gutters and known as Plate 181, size B. Plate 182 is a special cutter, and was made to order with the view of cutting very wide molding a* one cut. It is like the regular countersinker. Plate 183, known as RIEHLE-HATCHER CUTTER, patented December 3d, 1889 (of which we are the sole makers and owners), is very valuable for cutting side moldings, as it is very stiff and works the cutters very close to centre. It will also cut a groove or a bead, and it is said will turn out more moldings than any other style. Plate (Cutters) 184 are used to cut bevels, as shown by Fig. i. Plate (Cutters) 185 are used to cut O. G.'s, as shown by Fig 2. Plate (Cutters) 186 are plain countersinking cutters. .Plate (Cutters) 187 are used for countersinking and dropping faucet elevations, as shown by Fig. 3. The Surface Molder cuts interior moldings, as shown by Fig. 4. Knives of different forms can be used as required. The Riehle-Hatcher Patent Cutter, Plate No. 183, is used to cut all kinds of moldings, and is the most serviceable of any for this purpose.

This is a very superior steel, and the only kind we can recommend, and as the size is very small, the price is very high, and a pound of steel will make, say twelve bits of ordinary length. The above articles will be procured by us and furnished to our customers in order to accommodate them. As all the articles are special, we will send them C. O. D. at the lowest possible price. The special steel which \ve recommend for use for bits is cut hot, and must be kept from water while hot. It requires no working for cutters merely cutting off and grinding edges. It is self-hardening, and if edges burn a little on emery wheel during sharpening, it does not hurt the steel or draw the temper.

Telegraph. Definite. With this appliance. Price, DESCRIPTION. The back pulleys are 22 inches diameter by 6 inches face, belted direct to the main line of shafting (this depends on line speed). The pulleys on the machine must run from left to right, and at a speed of about 70 to 120 revolutions, and so as to revolve cutters right-handed. Both pulleys are belted to separate pulleys on the main shaft, and are of equal diameter and face, and should be driven by a double belt 6 inches wide. This machine is one of the largest marble molding and countersinking machines ever built, and known as "Style C." It is automatic in all its movements, can be quickly adjusted and easily controlled, and will perform the work of several men in working upon marble, and leaves a much cleaner and smoother surface for polishing. By using the three levers shown in the front of the machine, the several movements are thrown in and out of gear by clutches which control them, and by the combination of same other motions can be obtained, such as diagonal, in addition to the regular long and cross feeds. The rotary table is not included as regular, and must be ordered and paid for extra. The use of a crank permits of hand adjustments when the power is off. The brackets carrying the driving shafts and gearing are stationary, while the cutters and spindles are adjusted to the proper depth of cut by the hand-wheel for rapid work and the worm for fine adjustment, as shown. By using different cutters a variety of moldings can be obtained, and the table which moves can be guided so as to cut in a straight line, circles, or any angle diagonally. We can recommend this machine with the greatest confidence as being suitable for the purposes for which it is constructed. It is fully protected by letters patent, of which our firm has exclusive control, and we are the sole makers. It has been put upon the market at a very moderate price, notwithstanding it is made in the most substantial form and of the very best material and by skilled workmen. The first machine was built on special order for Messrs. Batterson, See & Eisele, New York, and is the fifth machine that this firm has purchased from us. By the use of the double spindle one cutter-head follows the other, and in this way can remove extra stock and make wide moldings at one travel of the table.

The accompanying illustration is a representation of our Marble Sanding Machine, which has proved to be a very useful and handy apparatus, and a valuable accompaniment to our Marble Countersinker and Molder. It consists of a disk, hollow in the centre, to retain the grit, etc., and revolved by means of the rods, gearing, and pulleys, as shown. Double flexible joints give a universal movement to the polishing-disk, which is guided by the handles, as shown. This apparatus has been well tried, and is known to be good. As it is necessary to apply some weight in polishing marble and other stone, we now do away with the counter- balance, so as to utilize the weight of the shaft, etc., otherwise the operator will have to bear down on the head all the time he is working. Some of our customers who are using our Polisher removed the ball themselves, and gave us this suggestion. ADAPTATION. The shaft slides up and down in its bearings, as shown in the cut, the spline in the shaft indicating where the key takes hold in revolving from the gear. This is the accommodation while running over a slab. For slabs, etc., of different thicknesses the rod is made telescopic, so as to be adjusted to a wide range of thicknesses, and when clamped in proper place it has the range due to the vertical movement of the driving-shaft in the gear. The cut shows the shaft at the extreme bottom of its stroke, and can be given more or less stroke, according to the length of shaft above A. ELUIN, KITSON & Co., New York, KEYSTONK.

RIEHLE-ROBIE PATENT SCREW JACK, SOMETHING NEW IN LIFTING JACKS. The Best Lifting Jack in the World for All Purposes. Plate No. 151. Frictionless Ball Bearings ! Lever and Ratchet Motion ! Screw Does Not Rotate ! Cap Will Not Turn Under Pressure ! No Danger of Upsetting ! And other advantages as further described. Patented September 2lst, 1886. " October 2Oth, 1891. Plate No. 152. DESCRIPTION. The ordinary form of screw jack has several serious defects in operating which are well known to every engineer and mechanic. One is that when the screw is raised to an undue height, there is always danger of springing it by the power exerted. Another defect lies in the application of the power directly underneath the cap, making it very inconvenient to work in most cases. The most serious defect of all, however, is that when there is a great force exerted the cap turns with the screw, by the friction produced, and is twisted from under the weight. These difficulties have been overcome, and the screw jack made as complete for all lifting purposes as the hydraulic jack, and at a less cost, in the improved form illustrated. The following description and illustration will make its construction plain : A is a pedestal, made hollow for the reception of the power screw C, and flaring at the low end to form the base or support. In the upper end of the pedestal is a circular groove a, and another groove c, is turned in the side of the pedestal a short distance below the upper end. The hooded nut B extends over the sides and is held in place by set screws, which revolve in the groove c, so that the nut B cannot be accidentally detached if the jack is upset. A series of balls is interposed between the upper surface of the pedestal and the bearing surface of the nut J3, and the power screw c passes through the nut B, by which it is worked. The upper end of the screw c is furnished with a removable head or rest, f, to give a wide bearing at its point of contact with the weight to be raised. The power nut B is provided with openings for receiving the operating lever, or a ratchet attachment may be used. The operation is readily understood, the jack being placed under the weight and the power nut turned by means of a lever, or ratchet, causing the screw to be fed upward, and the weight lifted. The power nut remains stationary, so far as a vertical movement is concerned, and rotates upon the anti-friction rolls or balls. Telegraph. Capacity. Ruth. 5 tons, McConaughy. 5 Augustus. Weaver.

New York Navy Yard, December 29, 1886. In obedience to the order of Commander H. B. Robeson, U. S. N., we have carefully tested the Patent Screw Jack of Henry W. Robie, and respectfully report : The advantages of this jack over the ordinary screw jack are ; First. In overcoming the sliding friction of the screw underneath the cap by means of the balls, thereby adding greatly to the power. This friction amounts to 33 per cent, of the power exerted. Second. The movement of the screw is vertical, as in a hydraulic jack, and not revolving. Third. The distance from the base to power exerted remains the same at all times, requiring less space for operating. Fottrth. The power, when exerted on the nut by means of the ratchet, can be used to the greatest advantage in confined spaces, and in positions where an ordinary screw jack could not be used. We have been unable to discover any disadvantages in the operation of this jack, and, therefore, recommend it for purchase and use t as required by the Act approved July i8th, 1861.

The ROBIE PATENTED SCREW JACK is awarded the Edward Longstreth Medal of Merit by the Committee on Science and the Arts of the Franklin Institute, of the State of Pennsylvania. (Below is a Copy of the Report.) Report No. 1384. HALL OF THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE, PHILADELPHIA, January 4, 1891. The Sub-Committee of the Committee on Science and the Arts, constituted by the Franklin Institute, of the btate of Pennsylvania, to whom was referred for examination the Robie Screw Jack, report that the subject of this investigation is an improved screw jack patented to Henry W. Robie, September 2ist, 1886, and the specimens submitted to your Committee are of the manufacture of Messrs. Riehle Brothers, of Philadelphia. In size and appearance the tool resembles the well-known form of screw jack, but in details of construction it differs very widely, and it is very much improved. The base or pedestal is a hollow casting expanded at the bottom to form a wide foot, either round or square, as may be preferred. On the top of the pedestal is mounted a revolving nut, through which the screw passes, extending down within the pedestal to the bottom. The lower part of the nut extends some distance downward upon the outside of the pedestal, fitting it closely. A groove is cut around the pedestal near its top, which is covered by the projecting sleeve of the nut, and a set-screw tapped into this sleeve and entering the groove serves to secure the nut to the pedestal against accidental separation. Between the base of the nut and the top of the pedestal are placed two concave rings of hardened steel, and between these rings, filling up the entire circle, upon steel balls upon which the nut, as it revolves, rolls, thus making nearly as possible a frictionless bearing. As the screw does not turn, but is raised and lowered by turning the nut, the cap of the screw does not revdve, but is firmly fastened to the screw; this arrangement entirely obviates the danger, so common in the use of ordinary jacks, of a liability to twist the cap from under the load. The nut is provided with a ratchet lever to turn it in either direction, and as it only revolves, and does not rise with the screw, the hand lever is always operated to the best advantage. The three sizes of the Robie Screw Jack submitted to your Committee by the manufacturers, viz. : the lo-ton, 2O-ton, and 3O-ton Jacks, are practical tools for what they are represented. Your Committee has practically tested these under a testing machine, and demonstrated that one is able to raise double the weight by them that he could with a screw jack of the usual type, the pitch of the screw and length of hand lever being alike in both tools. Aside from the many advantages possessed by the Robie Patent Screw Jack due to its form of construction, which may make it a very superior tool, those examined by your Committee, taken from the regular market stock, are entitled to high commendation in point of good proportions, excellent workmanship, and in the use of the very best materials, thus insuring the reliability and durability of the highest degree. Your Committee cheerfully accord to the inventor ol the Robie Jack Screw its deserved appreciation, and recommend, therefore, the award of the Longstreth Medal of Merit. Respectfully submitted, H. R.

This Jack is probably the handiest, lighest, and most compact ever made for railroad or machine shop use. It impresses every one at first sight as being just what is wanted, especially for track work. It weighs only thirty pounds ; is a direct, quick lifting, and instantaneous releasing Jack, and the release can be checked at any point. It is operated by a common crow-bar, and for all ordinary loads has been found to more than meet requirements. The height of Jack from top of foot lift is less than 4^ inches, so that it never projects above the rail, thus avoiding any risk of derailing if left under track. The Jack remains at the required lift by the friction of rollers in a taper pocket, and is lowered by backing the rollers by means of a trip lever. The rapidity of lowering can be controlled by the same bar as used in raising, or it can be dropped by a blow of the bar on the trip. An ordinary i-inch steel track bar with i^-inch nose can be used to operate this Jack. REPORT OF TESTS. November 8th, 1892. The Robert W. Hunt &-" Co.

The ordinary form of screw jack has several serious defects in operating which arc welt known to every engineer and mechanic. One is that when the screw is raised to an undue height, there is always danger of springing it by the power exerted. Another defect lies in the application of the power directly underneath the cap, making it very inconvenient to work in most cases. The most serious defect of all, however, is that when there is a great force exerted the cap turns with the screw, by the friction produced, and is twisted from under the weight. These difficulties have been overcome, and the screw jack made as complete for all lifting purposes as the hydraulic jack, and at a less cost, in the improved form illustrated. The following description and illustration will make its construction plain : A is a pedestal, made hollo-.' for the reception of the power screw C, and flaring at the low end to form the base or pedestal a short distance below the upper end. The hooded nut B extends over the sides and is held in place by set screws, which revolve in the groove t, so that ihe nut B cannot be accidentally detached if ihe jack is upset. A series of balls is interposed between the upper surface of the pedestal and the bearing surface of the nut B, and the power screw t passes through the nut B, by which it is worked. The upper end of the screw < is furnished with a removable head or rest, /, to give a wide bearing at its point of contact with the weight to be raised. The power nut B is provided with openings for receiving the operating lever, or a ratchet attachment may be used. The operation is readily understood, the jack being placed under the weight and the power nut turned by means of lever, or ratchet, causing the screw to be fed upward, and the weight lifted. The power nut remains stationary, so far DIMENSIONS. rw-r-v-t- <*.-* f*. ,1, 4Xb.rA.IJ,'.* . diam. .crew. S ^ n^. 5 - diam. baa*, wwgbt, iSlba... . . t - ao* - 10 - IJO - (on lift.

The Best Lifting Jack in the World for All Purposes. Plate No. 151. Fiictionless Ball Bearings ! Lever and Ratchet Motion ! Screw Does Not Rotate ! Cap Will Not Turn Under Pressure! No Danger of Upsetting ! And other advantages as further described. Patented September 2 1st, 1 886. " October 2Oth, 1891. Plate No. 152. DESCRIPTION. The ordinary form of screw jack has several serious defects in operating which are well known to every engineer and mechanic. One is that when the screw is raised to an undue height, there is always danger of springing it by the power exerted. Another defect lies in the application of the power directly underneath the cap, making it very inconvenient to work in most cases. The most serious defect of all, however, is that when there is a great force exerted the cap turns with the screw, by the friction produced, and is twisted from under the weight. These difficulties have been overcome, and the screw jack made as complete for all lifting purposes as the hydraulic jack, and at a less cost, in the improved form illustrated. The following description and illustration will make its construction plain : A is a pedestal, made hollow for the reception of the power screw C, and flaring at the low end to form the base or support. In the upper end of the pedestal is a circular groove a, and another groove c, is turned in the side of the pedestal a short distance below the upper end. The hooded nut 13 extends over the sides and is held in place by set screws, which revolve in the groove c, so that the nut cannot be accidentally detached if the jack is upset. A series of balls is interposed between the upper surface of the pedestal and the bearing surface of the nut B, and the power screw c passes through the nut B, by which it is worked. The upper end of the screw c is furnished with a removable head or rest, /, to give a wide bearing at its point of contact with the weight to be raised. The power nut B is provided with openings for receiving the operating lever, or a ratchet attachment may be used. The operation is readily understood, the jack being placed under the weight and the power nut turned by means of a lever, or ratchet, causing the screw to be fed upward, and the weight lifted. The power nut remains stationary, so far as a vertical movement is concerned, and rotates upon the anti- friction rolls or balls. DIMENSIONS. Telegraph. Capacity.

New York Navy Yard, December 29, 1886. In obedience to the order of Commander H. B. Robeson, U. S. N., we have carefully tested the Patent Screw Jack of Henry W. Robie, and respectfully report : The advantages of this jack over the ordinary screw jack are : First. In overcoming the sliding friction of the screw underneath the cap by means of the baHs, thereby adding greatly to the power. This friction amounts to 33 per cent, of the power exerted. Second. The movement of the screw is vertical, as in a hydraulic jack, and not revolving. Third. The distance from the base to power exerted remains the same at all times, requiring less space for operating. Fourth. The power, when exerted on the nut by means of the ratchet, can be used to the greatest advantage in confined spaces, and in positions where an ordinary screw jack could not be used. We have been unable to discover any disadvantages in the operation of this jack, and, therefore, recommend it for purchase and use t as required by the Act approved July iSth, 1861. We are, sir, very respectfully, Your obedient servants, JNO. W. MOORE, Chf. Eng., U. S. N. GEO. H. KEARNEY, P. A. Eng., U. S. N. To COMMODORE BANCROFT GHIRARDI, U. S. N., COMMANDANT. M. A.

THE Improved Soap Frame, as illustrated on page is made in a good, strong, substantial manner, and guaranteed to do the work required of it in a satisfactory manner. The sides consist of sheet iron, heavily braced with angle irons so that there can be no bulging nor buck- ling of the sides. The ends are attached to the bottom in sucli manner as to be easily detached. The whole is firmly bound together by hinged rods provided with fly nuts. The Frames can be set up or knocked down in a few moments. Two bottoms are supplied with each set of sides and ends, so that the soap can re- main on one bottom for cutting while the other bottom and frame are ready to receive a fresh charge of soap. Many soap makers prefer the Frames without wheels, handling the frame-i on specially constructed trucks. We can, however, furnish them with wheels if de- sired. Capa- Inside. Outside city. Depth.

They are perfectly noiseless, and do not wear the floors perceptibly; can be used on wood, brick and concrete floors with great saving. They are par- ticularly adapted for all kinds of mill and warehouse work, and are greatly appreciated in Hotels, BanKs and Hospitals, where noise is troublesome. They are composed of two compressing metallic disks, which are provided with a section of hub, peripherical flange, and an annular rim of vulcanized rubber, which is mounted on the shoulders of the disk and firmly compressed between their flanges by means of screws, making it easy to replace worn-out rubbers, and yet rendering it utterly impossible for the rubbers to slip off, as was the case with the old meth- ods, which wereas follows : One way consisted of springing a ring of rubber on to a grooved wheel ; but a movement of the wheel sideways would spring the rubber off as easily as it was put on. The other method consisted in vulcanizing the rubber on ; but on being used, the rubber would become loose from the wheel. CLAKK'S PATENT RUBBER WHEEL overcomes these difficulties, it being so simple that any per- son, with little trouble, can replace worn-out rubbers, mak- ing the wheels as good as new.

One man can do double the work with this that can be done with the common long-handled scoop.

The press is for baling cotton cloth, yarn, paper, etc. It is oper- ated by an automatic attachment, and has the pressure indicator, show- ing the amount of pressure put upon the goods. For extra quick work we put a pulley on the screw instead of the chain wheel, and operate it with a belt. As the frame is of wood, we can vary the dimensions given to suit the work required. We can also give anyamouhtof day- light, or movement of follower required. Owing to the varying needs of different goods, prices will be quoted on application. TINCTURE PRESS. This press is for the use of manufacturing chemists and druggists, in extracting the liquor from macerated roots and herbs. It is very heavy and powerful, the hoop being of wrought-iron staves and bands, and made very strong to withstand the immense pressure exerted. It is hinged to a rigid back, which is fastened to the base, allowing each side of the hoop to be opened and swung out to remove the pressed material. The plunger is attached to the platen by a large screw thread, allowing k to be run up or down to adjust the distance it enters the hoop. The indicator enables the operator to determine when the material is sufficiently pressed, and to avoid overstraining the press. It may be worked by hand or power, and the hoop will be made of a size suitable for the work desired. Prices according to size of hoop and nature of material to be pressed.

We desire to call your attention to our Improved Garden Roller, illustrated above. Its advantages will strike you at once, and consists in rounding the outer edges of the Section to prevent dirt being thrown up in turning the roller round at the ends or corners of the plot to be rolled. In operating the old style it is necessary to keep the Roller rolling in a straight line, or the square outer corners will dig into the soil and throw up dirt sufficient to seriously interfere with the work already accomplished. The wood handles are made from seasoned oak, and are prefer- able to iron in every respect. Upon the shafts are hung weights to keep the handles erect and give greater weight to the rollers.

These Jacks consist of two wrought-iron screws, one working within the other, operating simultaneously. By this method of con- struction the screws can be run out nearly double the height of the base, and will raise a load in one-half the time required by the ordinary Jack without increasing the labor. They have been in use for several years, are highly approved of by the principal railroad companies throughout the country, and are acknowledged by all to be the best Jacks now made. They are the shortest and also the longest Jacks in use, and w eigh less than any others of corresponding capacity. Number 2 represents the " TELESCOPIC JACK," with a ratchet lever. This improvement makes it the most desirable Jack in use, being much cheaper than any made with the same length of screw. CAR BOX JACK. Sire Length ofScrew Size of Screw Price Tel. Jo. l 24 in. Comp.
