MAKING OF PINS.
One of the Modern Machines VIII
Turn Out 5000 an Hour.
From the Dry Goods Economist.

From the Dry Goods Economist.
There is scarcely a woman living who
does not use the common and everyday
pin every day more or less, but few, how
ever, ever think how it is made. To COM
plete a pin it has to go through many
hands before it is ready for the consumer
1t is a very delicate article to handle, and
the cost of building the machines to make
it is the greatest outlay. The wire from
which these pins are manufactured is
specially prepared and comes to the fac
tory on large reels very much like gigan-
tic cotton spools
The wire is first turned through eight
or ten little copper rollers This is to get
all the bend and kink out of it; in other
words, to straighten 1t perfectly. After
this preliminary operation is completed it
is once more wound on a very large reel,
which is attached to the machine that
makes the pins. One of these machines
makes on an average 5000 pins an hour,
and some large factories will often have
thirty or forty machines at work at one
time After the pins are released from
the grip of this machine they are given
a bath of sulphuric acid. This removes
all the grease and dirt from them.
They are then placed in a tub or barrel
of sawdust Pins and sawdust are next
taken together from the barrel and allowed
to fall IN q STEADY stream lnIOuBH strong
air blast, which separates the sawdust
from the pins. But as yet they are point
less, and pins without points would not
be of much use. In order to point them
they are carried on an endless grooved
belt, which passes a set of rapidly moving
files This points them roughly, and,
after being passed between two grinding
wheels and forced against a rapidly NOV
ing band faced with emery cloth, they are
dipped in a polishing tub of oil. This
latter is large, slowly revolving, copper
lined tub, which is tilted at an angle OF
about As degrees. AS this revolves, the
points keep sliding down the smooth cop
per to the lower side, and, owing to the
constant friction against the copper and
