MANY MACHINE TOOLS

% Per Cent. Of Those De.

Purpose.

Interesting statistics upon the infiu-
ence OF the present European war in
relation to the development Of machine
shop equipment are published In the
Americdn Mdch4rist for December. 1t
states that Is per cent. of all the new
equipment items published this year re-
lated to machine tools and devices for
producing munitions; IS per cent Of
the machine tools developed were
brought out particularly for the manu-
facture OF war materials. The years
record, tho Mdchinist claims, is one of
ceeded in quantity by the years 1911
and 1914 only.
Speaking Of these developments in
1915 l.. +. Afford says:
with the close Of 1915 ends the
most interesting single year. as regards
It's departure from the expected. in the
development Of machine shop equipment
that this country has ever known. The
record in striking way shows the
great influence OF the European war

is possible that some OF the normally
strong tendencies In our mechanical ad
yancement will he permanently turned
aside. Already the trend of machine
tool progress. as indicated by the con-
trasting record OF 1914. has been COM
ple,ely sidctracked. and the natural re-
straining effect Of rushing business on
new DEVELOPMENTS has been to a great
extent overcome. Another year or two
must pass by before We will know what
the final effects will be.
The most important trends OF the
developments In machine shop equip
ment of the year 1914 summarize as
follows: The use OF higher cutting
speeds. finer unit feeds and greater guam
titles OF cutting lubricants; the increas-
ing application OF jigs. fixtures and hold
ing devices that can be operated In A

erations and suitable to be tended by
unskilled labor.
IN contrast. only one automatic ma
chine was put on the market during
| 1915. and no further departures from
| current practice by using high speeds
have been made. This record shows that
the decided trends Of the year 1914 have
not been followed up. Furthermore, the

ations, capable of being tended by un-
skilled or slightly skilled labor. the
whole arranged to produce the maximum
output per unit Of time.
THE experience Of the past in regard
to the number Of new machine shop
equipment items put on the market is
that the maxima are produced in years
of slack business. So II normal infiu-
ences had governed the year 1915 we
should expect the total for the year to
be very low. As a matter Of fact. this
total nearly reaches the second largest
in the history Of American machinery
building, 1911. and is greatly exceeded
only by the preceding year. 1914.
1T must be remembered that the year
1911 covered a period Of poor business.
and that during the first three quarters
Of 1914 business was far from satisfac-
tory. BY contrast. American machine
shops have never before had as much
work on their hands as during the year
