Page 436 - The grinding apparatus consists of two circular disks of solid copper 9 inches in diameter and threeeighths of an inch thick, which may be used alternately as different grades of emery are required. They are attached either by a screw or square socket to a vertical iron spindle which revolves smoothly in a conical bearing. The grinding disk is surrounded when in use by a large cylindrical pan of tin which has an opening in its centre to allow of the passage of the spindle.
Page 22 - Since that is the case now, and since theory shows that it is possible to increase the efficiency of the actual gas engine two or even threefold, then the conclusion seems irresistible, that gas engines will ultimately supplant the steam engine. The steam engine has been improved nearly as far as possible, but the internal-combustion gas engine can undoubtedly be greatly improved, and must command a brilliant...
Page 215 - ... Company, consist of a standard core of 61 — 14 BWG, insulated and sheathed with lead, and have an insulation resistance of not less than 500 megohms per mile. They are carried along the tunnels supported on the brackets carrying the hydraulic pipes. The working conductor is similar to that adopted for the Bessbrook and Newry Tramway, and consists of channel steel laid between the rails, and carried on glass insulators fixed to alternate sleepers. The channel weighs 10 Ibs. per lineal yard,...

The sawing apparatus consists of a horizontal countershaft, placed on a different part of the table from the grinding disk, and connected with the motor by a separate belt. It carries at one end a vertical wheel of solid emery, and at the other an attachment, level-table and guide for the diamondsaw.* A small water-can and spout...
