A WHEEL GRINDING MACHINE The ma
chine for grinding down worn wheels,
now in use at the machine shops of the '. Il
I. r. r, is the invention of James Gowan,
| ex-foreman of the shops. To understand It's
value the reader must bear in mind that it is
impossible to cast perfectly round car wheel
| So large an amount of hot iron cannot be
shrunk with perfect regularity. Often a set
of new wheels are battered to pieces and
ruined on their trial trip because of these If
regularities. The setting of the brakes often
does the same thing
Sixteen pairs of 33-inch new chilled car
| wheels made trne by this machine were put
into operation October /, 1877, on the Vir-
ginia & Truckee Railroad, each wheel having
made 81 ,S48 miles up to November 10 1879,
with PATS stops, controlled by the Westing-
house air brakes, after which the wheels were
examined and found reduced in diameter an
average of 1892 Of an inch No reason is ap-
parent why they should not run an additional
mileage of equal amount before a second
grinding becomes necessary, which would
make 1863, 696 miles for one grinding. Esti
mating the previously named wheels to be
then ground second time, and the chill to
still possess depth of SIG of an inch They
should then be equal to their first per
Torrance. After third grinding we assume
the chill to remain one-eighth of an inch in
depth. Allowing for inequality of chill, they
will then make 81 ,S4S miles, or total per-
Torrance per car wheel of 400 ,24O miles
A company has been formed for the intro
duction of the machine to be known as the |
'' Chilled Car Wheel Grinding Company"
The officers of this corporation are as follows |
President, III. NJ Yerington; Vice President, |
Harry Hunter; Superintendent, J. H. Gowan;
Secretary, c. p Mason. The company are |
meeting with gratifying success in the intro |
ductioH of the machine. Many leading rail
road men have already visited Carson and
made personal inspection of the practical
working, as shown in the railroad shops, and
the company are in daily recei pit OF inquiries
On the subject, all going to show that it meets
\ long felt and pressing want The machine
las already been adopted by the Central Pa
,iic Railroad Company, the Nevada County
Narrow Gauge Railroad, and Others and
Eight machines are at present in process of
construction.
