WIRE NAIL MACHINE.

Late Invention

ooI l. II. Hastings Shows Model OF HIS
Late Invention.
Col J. B. Hastings, of Ironton, arrived
in the city Yesterday, and is quartered at
the Mcclure House. Col Hastings is the
;nvantor of a wire nail machine, and has q
model of the same on exhibition. The
machine can be run at a speed of $50 to
900 revolutions per minute, and to every
revolution perfect wire nail is turned
mt The machine is much simpler than
emf nail mschiue. aud Mr.. Hastings claims
That a man who has had no pfevious
knowledge of nail machines, can make
nails on it, and TO look at its working one
would think SO.
He saws a change can be made from one
sized nail to another in very few minutes
and with little trouble. The dies will last
for a wear or so and they need to be ground
mn only about once a month. Col. Hast
inq's patent is certainly a splendid one.
He has a factory of the machines IN
operation at Jackson, Ohio, turning out
lots of nails, and he is here for the purpose
of comforting with parties concerning their
introduction in this city. The machine
makes any size frym 20 penny spikes down
10 the smallest sized nails, the only change
necessary being in the dies. -,
He also has model of a rivet machine
which turns out two rivets to each revolu-
ton. A handy arrangement for grinding
dies is among his patents, moiel oil
which is on exhibition. Col. Hastings
will remain here until Friday or Saturday
when he goes to Virginia to confer with
parties concerning the introduction Oh his
machines into factory which they pro-
pose to build in connection with steel
plant and blast furnace. He thinks the
reduction in the price for making cot nails
will not seriously affect the wire nail.
