recently been a familiar sight working on
a trolley road in the Brooklyn borough OF
greater New York. A Western Pennsyl-
yania firm has been carrying on a similar
line OF work in electrically welding to-
gether the great track functions or
frogs for railway crossings Still an
other firm is making metal wheels for
wagons and carriages, and is increasing
their efficiency by using the electric
weider TO convert the hub, spokes, RIM
and tire into one solid piece.
The blacksmith shop of the Future.
One of tho most remarkable uses of the
electric arc is its application in the black
smith shop 10 the common heating OF
metals. A blacksmith's shop without
forge may really come to be a popular in
stitution in the near future. The idea orig
mated in Belgium. The metal to be heat
ed is plunged into metal tub of water,
and, apparently with little reason. be-
comes instantly white hot. AZ a matter
of fact the metal tub is connected by wire
to one pole OF a dynamo. The metal TO be
heated is connected by wire to the other
pole OF a dynamo. The water is acdu-
lated, and when the metal is plunged into
the water an arc seems 10 he established
all around the submerged portion, which
may then be removed and hammered on
anvil ghe same as any ordinarily
heated metal. Il is SAID that even the
water IN the tuD may De dispensed Win,
and granulated charcoal or graphite used
instead. Al any rate. the idea is not only
spectacular, but It is unique, and thera Is
no reason why it cannot be put into COM
mercial practice wherever the necessary
current can be obtained.
How to Melt Metals by Electricity.
The electric arc is also used for melting
metals. The crucible in which the metals
are to be heated is made of graphite, and
Is connected by wire TO one pole Of dy
namo, Hanging directly above the open
mouth of the crucible is stick of carbon.
1t is connected by wire to the other pole
of the dynamo When the stick OF carbon
is pushed down into the crucible so as to
touch the bottom, the electric current is
completed and heavy current instantly
passes between them. If, now. the carbon
stick is very gently gradually pulled away
an arc IL formed by the current ieaping
across the gap 1t is much the same kind
OF an as is formed In the regulation
arc lamp, only If anything it is larger
and more intense. So that If small pieces
OF metal are now thrown into the crucible
they will. under the intense heat of the
arc, become melted.
