chlnery-A Home enterprise That deserves
Home Encouragement. .r.a
One of the busiest and most interesting places in
Bel AR is the Bulett Carriage Factory. which is
now in full operation, making vehicles of all kinds
for the spring and summer trade.
1t has often been matter OF wonder how bug
gies and carriages can be made so cheapy but the
mystery is made plain by visit to this factory
The principal item of cost in making vehicles used
to be the labor. BY means of labor-saving appli-
ances this heavy item has been reduced and better
and cheaper vehicles can now be made by machn-
cry at the Bulett Factory than those usually made
Mr.. VIM s. Bulett, the enterprising and sk1llful
manager of the factory. has lately introduced
several new labor saving machines. One of these
is a sand-papering machine. 1t consists of table,
i'm the centre of which is revolving disc covered
with sand paper. The carriage body or piece of
wood is run across this and in less than a minute
the entire side of the vehicle is made smooth
as possible. Another useful machine is one which
planes four sides of piece of board at one opera
fion. 1t can also be arranged to cut moulding on
the sides or bevel the edges at the same time
In the blacksmith shop, also, the hard-worked
striker has rest. his labor being now perform
ed by steam hammer, the force of which can be
regulated to such nicely as to drive cork in a
bottle without breaking the glass or descend with
sufficient force to hammer piece of iron into any
desired shape Besides this implement there are
hammers. worked by foot which enable the smith
to dispense with an assistant.
An ingenious arrangement has also been intro
duced whereby the dust from the woodwork
ing room is blown through tin pipes to a room adj
joining the boiler house, from whence it is taken
for use as fuel.
Upwards of fifty hands are now at work, chiefly
