This is used for a cleaning and drilling
, room, and all the various parts Of the
! stoves are inspected in this. room,
Thoroughly cleaned, defective pieces
, Thrown out, and the necessary drilling
done, and all got ready for she moulding
room. The pieces are then hoisted by
, means of pully moved by steam power,
and are thus assembled in the mounting
room to be put together and receive the
finishing touches. In this, as well as in
the mounting room,, the most perfect
system Of order prevails.

brick, and the, roof being supported by
pillars of iron This department is
: most scientifically arranged. Near one
/. wall, and in proximity with the engine

the iron is melted. They use McKen-

Q eight minutes. This furnace, O.. cupola,
is SO constructed that the process Of
