ELECTRICITY IN FACTORIES.
Its Advantages ~ q Motive Power In Diff
ferent Branches.

| Apart from the economy in cost Of
power which can, in most cases, he shown
to f. low on the adoption of electric trans
mission for driving machinery. it is neces-
sary to point out its great convenience.
However ingeniously the belt driven gear
of machine tools is contrived, it Is always
difficult to keep ne shafting and belts
clear so as to avoid interfering with tho
lifting appliances in these factories. No
such difficulty occurs in the case Of electric
transmission. In all larger tools the cleo
trio motor should form an integral part OF
the tool itself, and tho conductor can be
carried to it in such "a manner as TO be
completely out of risk or interference with
the gangways, or the floor, or with tho
lifting appliances overhead.
In modern factories, where largo masses
of material have to be dealt with, there
are many cases where the moving about Of
a heavy casting or forging is, il possible,
to be avoided. 1t is far more economical
to bring the machine tool up 10 the Work
than to move the work up to the tool, and
this is readily carried out with electric
transmission Drilling, shaping and mill
ing machinery can be made portable and
can be brought up ard fixed TO the work
by the ordinary shop lifting appliances.
AS soon as such "a tool Is i'll position power
can be applied to it from distribution
boxes, arranged at convenient intervals
along the floors or walls Of the workshop.
In this way the floor Of a large erecting
shop can be kept entirely free from obsta-
Giles or hindrance of any kind, 50 that large
pieces of machinery Of any class may be
erected in the positions most convenient
for them, and any machining 80 be done
on them can be carried OH by the tools be-
ing brought up to them and operated cleo
trically. 1t can be easily shown that in
most cases such an arrangement will lead
to the reduction Of the total number Of
tools required, as well as in the cost Of
doing the work.
Further than this, the Introduction Of
electric power all over Il mechanical work
shop is attended with many advantages
which are now only commencing to be ap
preciated. Not only can welding. hrazing,
soldering and many similar operations re-
curing high temperatures be effected Ivy
electrical means in a most certain and
economical manner without oxidation Of
the surfaces but annealing, case harden
ing and other operations can 10 effected
locally TO parts of "a structure, and results
can thus be produced which We're quito
impossible before the Introduction Of cleo

Cummings said the bill was as

only one-tifth of the new work entered

believed the duty of Congress was to

In response to a question by Ding

of the new work authorized in the bill

He said he hoped to live long enough

believed the government would have
