ELECTRICIAN DRILLS At
THE, OLD DOMINION QUARRY

makers of this drill which has been
substantiated in hundred instances
is that it combines electrical economy
and fiexibility with air drill power, ca
pacity and endurance.
The New Drill Described
The means by which this remarkable
combination of results is secured is
simple in the extreme. An Electric
Air Driln outfit is made up Of three
distinct parts--a pulsator, two short
lengths of hos and drill. The pull
sator is simply an arrangement of two
cylinders with pistons driven by an
ordinary electric motor, and the whole
arrangement mounted on wheeled
truck for ease in handling. From the
top of each of these air cylinders q
short length of hose leads to one end
of the drill cylinder. In this drill cyl
inder is a piston with an extended rod
passing out through the front head OF
the drill to which the cutting steels
are attached by clamping chuck OF
novel design.
As the motor revolves, it rotates, by
means of gear wheels, the shaft of the
pulsator on which two cranks are sci
half circle apart. To these crank'
are attached the moving pistons of the
air cylinders. Thus, when one piston
is forced upward into one cylinder, the
other piston is drawn downward in the
second cylinder. The upward-movint
piston in the first cylinder congresses
air in front of it and drives it out
through the length of hose into thu
back end of the drill, where it in turf
drives the moving piston in the drill
forward until the steels strike the rock
Meantime, the second pulsator piston
| travelling downward in the other al
cylinder, sucks the al behind it through
the other length of hose from the from
end of the drill cylinder before thu
advancing drill piston. The drill piston
is thus seen to have on its back face
an increasing air pressure and on it
front face diminishing air pressure
the result of which is that high speed

drill standards of drilling capacity. In
spite of all the alluring high economy
of the electric motor, the old reliable
rock drill has held its own simply be.
cause of its totally unmatched faculty
of "getting there.
Origin of "Electric-Air Drill
A Colorado inventor, Mr.. Robert W.
Temple by name, attached the prob
lem of rock drilling by electric power
along lines entirely distinct from any
heretofore attempted. His idea was
that nothing could compare with air
under pressure as a means of driving
the reciprocating mechanism which
made the hole. He argued further that
if the electric power could be applied
in some economical way to producing
this compressed air for running the drill,
and the whole apparatus brought down
to a small compass and to a weight
making it readily portable, the losses
which characterize the ordinary air
compressor plant, pipe lines and air
rock drill would be very largely elm
mated He knew the electric drills
had all failed because the delicate mech
anism was exposed to the jar and strain
of the drill itself, and therefore the
breakage and repairs upon them were
prohibitive. He knew, on the other
hand, the air-driven rock drill could
stand more abuse than any other mech
anism made. His idea of the successful
rock drilling outfit, therefore, was to
combine the high economy of the cleo
trio motor with the "fool-proof wear
resisting qualities of the air-driven drill.
He built few machines on this line
and put them out in Colorado mines.
He watched each machine, and as de-
fects and weaknesses appeared he cor
reeted them. The Electrician Drill -
was success almost from the very
start, and while Improvements have sue.
ceeded improvements in rapid order,
it is an inter esting fact that the very
first of these machines used are still
in use in Colorado mines, and are doing
prestige and business increased, Mr..
Temple s company associated itself in
connection with this drill, with the
Ingersoll- company, the oldest and
largest builders of rock drills in the
world. AS result of the united efforts
of Mr. Temple s inventive genius and
the vast experience of the Ingersoll
Rand company the macine was still
further improved and developed, and
was finally placed on the market on
an extensive scale under the name of
the Temple-Ingersoll Electric Air Drill
1t has proven itself beyond question to
be the only successful solution of the
problem of rock drilling by electric
power and is typical illustration of
the manner in which electricity and
compressed arrival powers only in
popular misconception--have joined
forcse in producing mechanism which
gives results which neither power alone
could accomplish. The claim of the

A COMPLETE DESCRIPTION OF
THE MOST MODERN OF ALL
THE ROCK DRILLS

1t is now over so years since the
Burleigh rock drill made the driving of
the Hoosae tunnel possible, and nearly
as long since the Calumet mine in Mon
tana decided that it was cheaper to
break rock by power drills than by
hand hammers and steels. Since these
first drills made their appearance the
machine has undergone a steady devel-
opment until today the best types of
the best makers seem as near perfec
tion as it is possible to make machine
of this class. The use of the rock drill
has developed until ii is no exagger'
alton to say that modern civilization
could never have ben attained had 1t
not been for this wonderful time and
labor saving device. The public has
been educated to believe that the mod
ern Observation-Disclosures do any
thing better than it has ever been done
before, but it may not be generally
known that until recently successful
means of drilling rock by electric power
has not been produced.
n frOllHC lclu ioA hhNShoeis
"Electric drills" almost without
number have been invented, exploited
advertised and abandoned because OF
their failure to stand up to the tremen'
dous strain of rock drilling. The prob
lem has been particularly attractive to
the inventor because of the popular
idea that the ordinary rock drill, driven
by steam or air, was very extravagant
in its use of power. When the size OF
the rock drill itself was compared with
the size of the compressor or boiler
required to run it, it seemed impossible
to avoid the conclusion that there was
great waste somewhere. Measured
by ordinary standards of steam engine
or other machine practise, it may be
confessed that the rock drill is not
economical; but when it is considered
that the work which a rock drill does
is not to be measured in horse-powers
but in inches of hole drilled per minute
condition is at once encountered
which makes comparison difficult and
always unsatisfactory, The aim of the
electrical inventor has been to apply
electric power direct to the rock drill
ing process without the intervention OF
so many devices in which power would
be wasted. The inevitable result OF
all these experiments has shown that
while the "electric drill" was econom
zeal of power merely considering it as
a moving mechanism, it was decidedly a
costly proposition as measured by rock

steel are partially rotated so that tn,
cutting edges never strike successful
ly in the same place. The result o.
this is that a round hole is bored il
the rock, of diameter slightly larger
than the greatest width of the cutting
edge on the steel.
A Great Saving In Power.
1t will be noted that the air is moi
blown out into the atmosphere, but j:
used over and over again in the system
being compressed and expanded over
and over again. This. is the great diff.
| ference between the Electrician
Drill" and the ordinary air or steam
drill. With the latter, the air or steam
drives the piston forward or back and
then simply blows off into the air. When
it blows off it has certain amount of
pressure in it, as anyone who has list
ened to an exhaust of drill well knows.
The blowing off of air is waste of all
that pressure. In the Electrician
Drill" on the contrary, the pressure
remaining in this way after it has
driven the drill piston forward is APP
piled on the next stroke in driving
downward one piston of the pulsator,
helping in some degree to compress the
air in the other pulsator cylinder. The
actual net result of this arrangement is
that where the ordinary steam or all
drill takes from IL to 20 horsepower at
the compressor or boiler to drive it, the
Electrician Drill" uses only three
and one-half to five horse power while
the new drill actually saves one-half
to three fourths of the power which the
old drill used, and it is this point which
more than any thing else accounts for
the fact that this machine, although it
has been on the market only three years
has gone all over the world into prac-
tically every mining country, and is in
use in mines, tunnels and quarries ev.
erywherc.
The Electrician Drill' uses the
the ordinary rock drill For open work
1T is usually mounted on tripod, but
in sinking a shart or driving tunnel
it is mounted on shaft bar or column.
The length of the hose between pulsator
and drill is such that heading about
IL feet wide can be covered without
moving the pulsatorh The drill itself
weighs no more than the ordinary rock
drill of equivalent capacity. The pull
sator of course is heavier, but still by
judicious design it's weigh has been kept
down to a point where it is easily
handled even on high muck-pile in
the tunnel heading.
The Initial Investment Small.
OF course the great field for the new
drill is in localities where electric pow
er is available at economical rates. A
few years ago this would have meant
very limited field, but Developments of
the past decade have placed electric
power at a commercial rate in prac-
