Mechanical marvels multiply. Two
remarkable contrivances are to be cred
tied to the ingenuity Of the people of
the great republics, America and
France Americas contribution is a
pair of steel jaws, worked by a 100
ton hydraulic power, capable of seiz-
ing and closing upon an object FROM
twelve to seventeen feet in width.
The chief use Of the jaws is to rivet
big sections of machinery. They are
designed especially for riveting loco
motive boilers Instead Of the old Eng
lish system of riveting, which was
slow and uncertain the new steel jaws
will stretch wide open, grip the big
boiler and square the riveting work
automatically The most remarkable
thing about these enormous steel jaws
is that the entire action is controlled
by one lever and worked by a single
man. Imagine puny individual, whom
