Rotating shanA

Some of the results arrived at by tests made by the government au- thorities at the arsenal in Water town, Mass. may be regarded as of special importance in relation to the endurance of rotating shafts. Thus, while it has been found that great improvements in tensile strength end elastic limit have been obtained, it has not been shown whether the limit of endurance under repeated strains has been increased. In the rotating tests of cylindrical shafts alternate tensile and oompressive strains are successfully applied, and under these conditions of loading no steel has yet been experimented with which will endure 6 fiber stress of 10, GOO per square inch without rup- turing, and this result has been reached after a total number of rep. etitions of from 1000, 900 to 1000. 900 for steel of high elastic limit and tensile strength--New York Sun.
