LINK AND PIN.

report that whereas q margin Of
safety of five is necessary, through
some mysterious act of Providence or
the devil, the margin of safety on the
| finished axle OF crank pin wss only
two, and some unexpected shock over
came that and led the part to grief.
We have come across several pretty
things about weak designs An axle
or q crank pin with q low margin OF
safety begins to crystallize from move
ment of the molecules as SOON as 1t en-
tiers service, and its weakness limits Its
life. o. - 49,.
The elevated railroads of New York
are required to limit the weight of
their locomotives to astonishingly low
weight per unit of power developed,
and every working part has been re-
duced in weight away beyond the COM
mon factor of safety. For years there
was great deal of trouble from brok-
en- axles and crank pins. After q time
the officials learned what was the
average life of these parts, and they
arranged to have them chang
ed when their service was
q few thousand miles short of the
breaksge point. Breakages are very
rare there nowadays; but q few hun
dred pounds added to the weight of
oAAOo oho III oah pup "ooto PtOooSO
parts that would prolong the mileage
two or three times. -f.
Some years ago the Central Railroad
of New Jersey bought six switching
engines which had axles rather light
for the weight carried and, for the
shocks impaired in running over
switches and frogs. There was con-
siderable discussion among the mech
anical officials about the strength of
the axles, but the. engines went into
service and bumped over the frogs and
switches for several years. Then one
day one of the switchers reported q
broken axle and YVES towed to the shop
for repairs. Within three months all
of these engines had failed with
broken axles. OF course it Was report
ed as rank case Of fatigue OF metals,
but the fatigue would not have proved
fatal had there been more metal to re-
sist it. Carrying load of 40 pounds
will soon fatigue into death man
112 pounds, but man weigh
ing It's pounds will find it a light bur-
