Binding Fly Wheels With Paper.

From the Boston Commercial Bulletin.
Since the recent tests of cannon wound
with wire. machinists have been trying
to apply the same principle to winding big
fly wheels with paper. 1t was found to
be almost impossible to create q fracture
in the wire bound cannon with the heav-
lest explosives. The reason that the same
plan is being applied to fly wheels Is I'M
doubtedly because so many wheels have
burst during the past few years Instead
of winding with wire. however, the idea is
to use paper. The wooden skeleton of the
big wheel is put in q revolving frame and
the sheets of manila paper wound around
1t with applications Of glue between. Nearly
one HUNDRED layers are wound on. The
work is not costly. A cheap wheel results
An accident is liable to happen by which
the load Is suddenly taken off the engine,
when the speed runs up with great velocity,
and unless the engineer is at hand 20 stop
the engine quickly the wheel is likely to
burst by centrifugal force. But if the wheel
is wound with something the possibility of
its bursting Is exceedingly small
