HOW WIRE IS MADE.
Fall Description of the Hennebec Wire
Works In HallOwen.

\ kind of manufacture entirely new in this part
Of the country has recently been started in Halo
well, viz, that of wire. Some account of the
process will doubtless he Of interest to the readers
Of the Journal.
The WORKS.
The Kennebec Wire Works are located on
Vaughan stream, forming important addition
to the large ami varied industries carried on by
steam and water power, in the southern part of
lIallowell. TIE proprietors aye Stickney, Page
4 Co. From the beginning the enterprise has
been in charge of Mr.. J. NJ. Smith, lately of
Charlton Mass, to whose mastery skill in his
business, joined to untirng energy, is TO be at
tributed in large measure the success attained.
The works occupy large building located short
distance westward of the highway and the rail.
road. The power for the machinery is furnished
by water fall of forty feet The wheels used ale
Turbine of new construction. Although only
twelve and fifteen inches, severally in diameter
they give force under full head of water est-
mated at fifty five horse power. There is also in
the building steam engine of fifteen horse power,
for occasional use. Ten men at present. en-
poyed in the establishment which has not yet
worked up to its full capacity.
The PROCESS OF MANUFACTURE.
We will now make a tour Of the building, and
show the successive stages through which the
rough iron passes to come out smooth and glitter
ing wire. Descending to the lowest floor, we find
large coils Tor bales they called) of iron rod
from quarter of an inch TO five sixteenths in di-
ameter. These bales made up of pieces, meas
uring from one hundred to one hundred and TWEEN
ty feet in length and weigh about three hundred
pounds Many different kinds and qualities of
iron are used. The best is brought from Norway
and Sweden. This is employed exclusively in the
manufacture of card wire, which forms the chief
and finest product of the works. The first step is
to forge to a point one end of the coil. The next
thing is the cleaning process necessary for the
moval Of all rust and other sccretons. This is
accomplished by dropping the coils into huge
lead kettle. filled with boiling solution of
vitriol After remaining in this searching bath a
short time, they are removed and plunged into a
cask of sizing made Of fermented mixture of rye
meal and water The object of this is to cover the
wire with an adhesive coating that will diminish
the friction in the subsequent process of drawing.
Having been cleaned and sized, the bales of wire
are now removed to another part of the same floor
where is the machinery for giving the first strong
pull The end previously pointed is thrust through
hole in block Of chilled iron, and projecting on
the other side, is seized by pair of iron claws that
with remorseless jerk, pull foot or two Of the
rod through the hole, drawing it out slightly, since
the diameter of the hole is less than that of the
