Big Magnets For Hosting Iron.

It is known that for some time past
electro magnets have been used at Wool
witch for hoisting shells and for other
purposes. 1t appears that these can be
advantageously employed for handling
plates in plate mills. A recent insta1la-
ton of electro magnets for this purpose
has proved remarkably successful. A
primary difficulty was encountered in
the circumstance of the magnets pick
ing up too many plates at n time, as
the magnetism was carried for some
distance through the pile. The diff
Guilty, however. was found to be readily
overcome by a little dexterity on the
part Of the operator After the magnet
has been lowered on to a pile Of plates
and several plates have been taken up
together. the operator simply pulls the
switch out, thereby breaking the cur
rent for an instant. By this operation
one or two plates can be dropped off at
each breaking of the current, sufficient
residual magnetism remaining with the
plates next to the magnet to hold them
until the current is switched on again.
The operation is continued until only
one plate is attached. With double pole
magnets up to five tons can be safely
handled, taking four amperes at $40
