The superintendent Of one of the shops
which Mr.. Janvier established was
named Wal. and he proved very in
telligent fellow. During an interval Of
about six weeks he borrowed the cali
per almost daily, and wasrather tardy
in returning it.
Finally he exhibited 70 the American

was perfect except In one respect.
Certain tables Of figures stamped into
the steel by the Yankee maker Of the
original were omitted from the copy,
