Method Of Cleaning Machinery In

The use Of blottipg paper for clean.

idea--an Idea that has been tried
successfully in German workshops.
Tow. woolcn refuse sponge cloths
and jutc waste are the materials usu.
ally employed for the cleaning of
machines and parts of engines that
are so:led by dirt. and lubricating
substances.
The better varieties of cotton waste
are very good for securing purposes.
but the cheaper grades are charged
with dust, and in using them sponge
cloth. specially manufactured for the
purpose. has to be resorted to.
In employing blotting paper for
securing purposes tho use of cotton
waste is decreased and the sponge
cloths are entirely dispensed with.
On an average German workman re.
ccives under the former system $50
grams of cotton waste, one new
sponge cloth, and one or two reno.
ea;ed ones each week Now he is
supplied with 150 grams of cotton
waste. and about eight or ten sheets
of blotting paper, at cost of two
and half cents. or one.third the cost
of the cotton waste.
The paper Is not only cheaper, but
