There is q paperware factory in syria
cuse, New York, that is intende q TO- turn
out 500 paper pals per day. The syria
cuse Herald describes the process o, max
ing them as follows: Rags and pap r
waste are steamed in watts for q few hou rs
and then thrown into beating troughcr
which are partly filed with water. The
"beating' is done by a revolving cylinder
with fifty knives set at different angles.
The knives reduce the rags tn q dirty
purple pulp and change the newspaper
wrappers to n soft mass. About 400
pounds of material are put under each
beaten. When paper and rags are each
reduced to pulp the opening of n trap let's
it run into the stuff chest in the cellar.
One part of rag pulp to three Ct paper
is run into the chest. When pumped
from the stuff chest into the trough of
the winding machine the future
pail looks like thin water Cruel.
A hollow cylinder covered with brass
| wire splashes around in the trough and
tho pulp clings fast to the wire. After
the cylinder has performed a half revo-
ton it comes in contact with another
cylinder, covered with felt, that takes off
the pulp. As the large cylinder goes
down on the return trip, and just before
dipping into the trough again, all little
particles of pulp sticking to the wire are
washed off by streams of water from q
siege. On the inside of the cylinder il
fan-pump that discharges the waste
liquid. From the felt-covered cylinder
the pulp is payed on to the forming cylin-
inder, so-called. 1t is about the shape Of
the paper.cone caps worn by bakers and
cooks, but made of solid wood and covered
with zinc with tho small end, or bottom
part of the pail, toward the workman.
The forming roll drops automatically
when pulp of the required thickness is
wound around it. From here the now
promising pail is put in the pressing ma
chine, which looks something like a silk
hat block, in six sections, with
perforated brass wire upper faces.
The sections move from and to a common
centre, and the frame is the exact size of
the pail wanted. The workman dropped
his damp skeleton of a pail into the frame,
touched a lever, and the sections moved
to their centre and squeezed the moisture
out of the pail. The pail is still a little
damp, and spends a few hours in the
drying room at a temperature Of about
1907. The sections of the pressing
machine mark the bands which are seen
on the finished pail. After it is dry the
pail is ironed, or calendered, rs it is
called. The pail is drawn, like a glove,
over q steel forming roll, which is heated,
and is ironed by another revolving calen-
der, with steam thrown on the pail to
keep it moist, as If it were a shirt bosom.
The pail, or rather it's frame, is pared at
each end, punched with four holes to
fasten on the handle, and corrugated, or
%channeled, for the putting on of the iron
hoops. A wooden plate, large enough to
spring the pull 30 that the bottom can be
put in, is inserted and the paper bottom
held under u weight which drops and
knocks the bottom where it .elongs. The
hoops are then put on.
The factory has a machine of its own
invention for the bending of the hoop into
shape. After it has been cut to the pro-
per length and width the straight strip.of
iron is run over q semi. circular edge of
steel, on which it is firmly held, and drops
on the floor a round hoop with a fold in
the middle to cath the top and bottom
edges of the pail. After a waterproof
composition is put on, the pail is baked
in o kiln for about foriy.eight hours at q
temperature f between 200 and 800 de-
Qrees. 1t is dried after its first coat of
paint and s~,ndpapered, and then takes
two more coats of paint, with a drying
between, and a coat of varnish which is
baked on, before-with it's wooden han
die and brass olamps-the pail Is ready
for the hand of the dairy maid, hostler or
cook. The advocates of paper pals claim
that they are lighter, cheaper and more
durable than those of tin or wood.
