POLYTECHNIC BRANCH OF THE AMERICAN INSTITUTE.

Last evening the polytechnic branch or the Ameri.
can Institute held their regular weekly meeting in
their rooms In Cooper Institute. There was very
lively and interesting discussion carried on between
Messrs. Flynn, Wyatt, Miller and vandcrwcyde on the
nOdus o1aera,dt Of tempering Steel Mr.. Flynn. the
first speaker said that the main poiAt in tempering
or hardening steel was to do Is as quickly, evenly
and uniformly - possible He explained the dini-
Guilty Of tempering evenly ana uniformly piece
OF steel that was quite small at one end or
edge and thick at the other Having trisd he said all
the chemicals and combination OF chemicals that he
had ever heard OF as being useful in the art OF
tcmperng he had come to the conclusion that there
was nothing that answered tho purpose nearly 80
well as simple cold water. 1t had been the princi.
pal study Of many eminent men for years to dis.
cover some chemical or combination or chemicals,
either added to water or Of themselves, that would
extract the heat from steel faster than water alone
will DO 1t, but, AZ yet, all their study and expert
mcnts have proven frultless. He said water that
had been boiled-thus expeIling all particles OF air.
was better for hardening purposes than that which
had not been subjected to that process. Old Smiths
he contended, VIII tell you that Old wster--that is
water that mas Been q long time In
use-is better than new or fresh water
for hardening. They do not know why; but they do
know that such is the fact. The cause, he said,
had heated the water until every particle Of air
expelled, thus allowing the water itself 10 come In
| closer contact with the Steel He had seen some
men who could put redh0t blade into tub OF
water and bring 1t out weh hardened without being
either warped or cracked. This, he thought was
owing to the way In which they held the blade, both
while putting 1t In and while Ii wss In. Had they
moved the blade 70 and tro In the water 1t would
most certainly have been warped, for that would
have brought the water In closer contact TO one side
than to rhe other, which would cause 1t to harden
and contract more tue side first pressed against
tho water tnan ON the other.
Mr.. wyatt gave his idea Of the principle canse OF
| steel warpmg during the process Of hardening. lie
said IL was very difficult to temper many edged tools
without warping them-the blade OF the jack plane,
for instance TO temper this properly or rather td
harden Is properly 1t should he said, be dipped into
the water back first, or In an inverted position.

the subject, also Mr.. Miller refutng Of the as
