Title: A New or Improved Process for the Manufacture of Balusters, Pillars and the like.
Inventor: GRODE FRANK PETER
Filed: 1900-05-01
Granted: 1901-02-01
Abstract: 8048. Grode, F. P. May 1. Lathes; chucks; lathe centres.-A lathe for turning balusters, newels, pillars, &c. has a bell chuck, Fig. 2, with two sets of screws 10, 14, and clamping-plates 20 for holding four or other suitable number of square blanks arranged as shown in Fig. 21. The chuck has a bearing-ring 22 to support it while rotating. The outer ends of the blanks may be supported by a sharp-edged cup centre, Fig. 5, with a spring point 42 for centering the pile of blanks. In the design shown in Figs. 21-24, the corners 78, Fig. 22, are first turned off. Each blank is then given half a turn on its axis, and re-clamped, and the corners 80, Fig. 23, are turned off. The blanks are then given a quarter turn, Fig. 24, and the operation is repeated. The operation may be again repeated to form four balusters of square-shaped section with curvilinear sides, or the composite form shown in Fig. 24 may be used as a pillar. The Specification describes various designs formed in a similar manner by turning two, four, or eight blanks together.

Title: Improvements in Lubricators.
Inventor: GIELOW FREDERICK
Filed: 1900-08-28
Granted: 1900-10-06
Abstract: 15,336. Gielow, F. Aug. 28. Lubricators for supplying graphite to steamengine cylinders or the like. The graphite is contained in the reservoir 10, and is pressed down by the piston 11, above which steam is admitted from the pipe 27. At the bottom of the reservoir 10 is mounted the plunger 14, which is reciprocated by suitable mechanism. The plunger 14 has recesses or pockets 21, 34, preferably annular. The pockets are filled with graphite when inside the cylinder, the base of the cylinder being tapered downwards in the centre so as to expose the pockets to the graphite as far as possible. The contents of the pockets are discharged by steam pressure communicated through passages 28, 37 into the passages 22, 35, leading through sight-tubes to the parts to be lubricated. Valves 42, 38 enable the delivery to one or other of the passages 22, 35 to be cut off. To prevent the graphite from becoming compacted into a solid mass, a transverse arm or scraper 52 is mounted on the plunger 14. Instead of steam, any other fluid under pressure may be utilized.

Abstract: 10,397. Steinmetz, W. G. F. May 7. Baths. - Relates to apparatus for heating water by steam in which means are provided for preventing the temperature of the heated water rising above a certain maximum independently of the supply of water or steam. A waterheating chamber a in which are fitted a steam pipe b, a cold water supplypipe c, and a hot water discharge pipe d, extends in the direction of the steam jets g, acting as an injector. When steam is admitted, water rises in the chamber a, being prevented from entering the discharge pipe d by baffles f and the suction action of the steam. As soon as all the steam is absorbed the hot water flows out. A tubular insertion forming an annular space with the extension e serves to catch any condensed steam. If the steam is in excess it passes out by the extension e and does not escape by the discharge pipe d.
