How Billiard Balls are Manufactured

How Billiard Balls are Manufactured.
Albany Argus.
The manufacture of billiard balls
from celluloid and bonsilate Is a pecu.
liar industry from the fact that the
only factory of the kind In the world
is In this city. A large proportion Ct
the balls now made are of oelluloid,
but only for the reason that the ma
chinery l. not as we'll adapted to the
manufacture of bonsilate balls. The
time will come, however, when all balls
will be made of the latter material.
The celluloid, which Is received In large
white sheets, Is first cut into small
square pieces about five. eighths of an
inch In size. These are placed into
moulds, previously heated by steam to
the proper temperature. They are
then placed in the hydraulic presses,
and with a pressure of from 1900 to
1000 pounds to the square inch are
roughly moulded, heat at the same
time being applied. The various POSI-
tions of the blocks In the mould give
the ball the peculiar mottled appear.
snce when finished. Experiments
have been made by grinding the cellu-
loid to a powder, and using 1t In that
form, but nothing has succeeded 80
well as tho present method. After
being taken from the moulds, the balls
are turned absolutely spherical, by an
exceedingly ingenious device.
The prooesa in the manufacture Of
bonsilate balls are quite different In
many respects. The material Is
placed In the moulds In powder, and
the balls, after being roughly pressed
up, considerably larger than the re.
quired size, are covered with rubber
and tin foil, to prevent the material
from being injured by water, and are
then placed under water pressure. By
means of this, which Is the only ma.
chine of the kind In existence, the
balls are placed under a pressure of
from ,0O0to4 4, 900 pounds to the square
inch. The water touching the ball at
every point, and the pressure being
equally transmitted the result is a
perfectly pressed sphere of just the
same specific gravity In one spot as In
another. Without this apparatus the
successful manufacture of billiard balls
from bonislate would have been Inn.
possible. A simple but Ingenious Jon.
trivanoe Is also employed to ascertain
whom the balls are peri ,ctly poised or
balanced. They are first weighed and
are then placed In a fat dish of mer-
curry. This subtle fluid detects the
slightest shade of inacouracy, and the
balls are put in the lathe and correct.
ed until they are absolutely true. Not
only billiard, but pool and bagatelle
balls are made. The prices at which
they are sold are far below those
charged for ivory, ranging from s. so
to $13. 30 per set of four balls for bill.
lizards, and from $26 to $50 per set of
sixteen balls for pool.
