AN ELECTRIC WELDING SHOP

" hat similar to the local union effected
by the use of a rivet.
Without going into technical nice
ties, 1t will probably suffice to say that
the spot welding apparatus consists
in the main OF U shaped yoke OF
steel with depth enough OF jaw to
straddle a plate Ave feet wide. At
least, such Is the size of the big
spot welders now developed. The
mouth of the yoke Is comparatively
narrow because it has to accommo-
date only the thicknesses of the mate
rails to be Joined. For teeth there
are set at the opening, one in each
Jaw, two copper terminals or cleo
trodes. between which the current
flows when switched on. These cleo
trodes are brought in contact with
the upper and the under surfaces Of
the steel plates to be welded,
Now. simply because the steel offers
greater resistance to the Gov OF the
current than the copper electrodes, the
Juice" causes the former to heat up
and finally reach incandescence like
the filament in the globe OF an cleo
trio light. When this extremely local
lied heating has reached the desired
degree. pressure Is exerted by the
movement of one OF the copper teeth,
and this bite" so to speak, serves
to weld the two steel surfaces at that
point or spot. This method OF welding
can be carried out by rather ordinary
labor, and satisfactory work can be
done with considerable rap!dity. OF
course, joints made in this way are
not expected to be water tight.
In arc welding. on the other hand.
much greater skill is required on the
part OF the operator Success hinges
largely upon his control OF the heat

the next position Hundreds order),
200. The decimal system being used.
not more than nine single knots are
ever found in one group.
A long knot was used in place OF a
cluster of single knots to express the
repetition OF units Of the same order.
The rows OF knots representing units,
tens, hundreds. &C., in complete
knot record were kept straight ESQ
that they ran horizontally across the
fringe), Just as our columns OF figures
are kept straight in accounting.
Differently colored cords were used,
sometimes merely as Q matter of fancy
or convenience with the record keeper,
but frequently to Indicate different ac-
counts. A Peruvian herdsman would
land does to this day. keep the record
of his rams on cords of ono color, the
record of his ewes on cords Of another
color and the record of his lambs on
cords OF a third color.
Very frequently short subsidiary
cords were attached to pendent cords
TO represent numbers outside the main
count. For instance. a record OF the
population OF an Inca village might
for some reason be supplemented by
record OF deaths. A series OF blue
cords might be used to indicate the
number of men living in the village at
given time, series OF red cords
the number OF women. and, in addi-
ton, q subsidiary cord Of correspond
ing color might be used in each case
to indicate the number Of deaths with
in a given period OF time. Still an
other cord might ba used to sum up
the account kept on the series OF
cords. The cord representing the total
was attached In such a way that II 1t
and the group OF cords were pulled
taut from the main cord their ends
would extend In opposite directions.
L. Leland Locke Of Columbia Uni
versity was the first to work out the
significance OF the Peruvian knot
records To him belongs the distinc-
ton of having analysed what was
probably the earliest decimal system
OF notation OF the western world. Mr..
Locke has demonstrated by testing and
checking that he can readily and cor
rectly read the knot records OF the
Incas. His researches were made pos
slble through the courtesy OF the Amer
lean Museum of Natural History
which extended to him the freedom OF
its collections OF knot records. num-
Der OF these, with printed explanations
and diagrams, have been placed on
public view in the PERUVIAN Hall or
the third floor Of the museum.

or to seal the joint at that point by
depositing molten metal from the cleo
trio arc.
The average layman has but a hazy
notion regarding the number OF rivets
in any steel craft. A cargo ship Of
$500 tons lightweight capacity has in
her get up approximately 10000 rivets,
and in fabricating q 1900 ton frelghter
about CSC, 900 rivets are required TO as
semble or to tie together the various
plates and angles that constitute her
structural entity.
Despite the aid OF the pneumatic
hammer a very large percentage Of
these rivets are driven with difficulty
because OF the awkwardness of the po-
sition which the worker has to assume
or because of the inaccesibility of the
place. Owing to these handicaps de-
fective rivets are rather numerous.
and Of course failing to pass inspection
have to be 8ken out and substituted
by others correctly driven. At least
this is the general procedure. The
advocate of electric welding asks with
reason. Why not use the electric arc
in the first PLACE?
How the Process Works.
And now Tor a popularized descrip-
ton OF electric welding. Broadly there
are two sorts Of this kind OF welding
and they are technically distinguished
by the adjectives ARC" and spot
Both of them are related inasmuch as
each utilizes the intense heat pro-

or fame produced when the wires Of
circuit are held apart and the cur
rent jumps the highly resisting air
space.
In arc welding the metals to be
united are connected with one side, as
it were, of the electric circuit, and the
operator holds the electrode which
forms the other terminal. BY bring
ing the electrode within half an inch
or less of the steel parts the electricity
jumps the gap and the worker thus
strikes the arc" For a satisfactory
weld the craftsman should keep his
electrode at nearly uniform distance.
and when he does this the electrode
tip melts away and is deposited evenly
at the desired point-the heat OF the
arc at the same time raising to a
bright glow the exposed surfaces OF
the steel at the point Of union. This
continuous deposition of molten metal

Ing in which a wirelike steel electrode
is employed. In the earlier perform
ances of the arc wslder the joints were
not up to requirements because the de-
posted metal, when tested. was found
to be little better than iron and, there
fore. not equal to the physical char
acterlstics OF the neighboring steel
structural elements. This was due to
the fact that the steel of the electrode
was transformed by the intense heat of
the arc and a goodly measure of its
carbon and manganese content was
vaporized and dissipated. This draw
back to arc welding has now been cum
nigly overcome by using electrode rods
or wires purposely containing an ex-
cess OF carbon and manganese. Thus
while some OF these alloys are lost
while passing through the arc enough
of them remains to give the deposited
metal the physical qualities Of the steel
materials which It unites.

TT you have spent precious hours
computing your income tax. you
i still have cause to congratulate
yourself that you are not Peruvian.
For the Peruvians kept their accounts
by means of knotted strihgs-a method
Of bookkeeping which might add con-
siderably to the trials Of the income
tax payer.
1t Is sometimes claimed that knot
records have been used to commemo-
rate important historical events, pre-
serve traditions. &C. Whether or not
this be true, II Is we'll known that the
use OF knot records for preserving
numerical accounts has been widely
practised by primitive peoples, par
ticularly In China and Peru. The most
remarkable development OF knot
records Is to be found in more recent
times among the Incas OF Peru. Many
carefully kept knot records have been
found In Inca graves among the
variety of personal possessions buried
with the dead.
The Incas. although representing an
advanced stage OF civilization, and pos
sessing a highly developed govern
mental machinery, a wealth OF tradi-
ton and an unusually rich and ex-
pressiye language. had no system OF
writing. Yet, lacking this. they kept
accurate records OF all the accounts OF
the Inca empire. census and tribute
statements. birth and death statistics.
&C., as we'll as private accounts such
crop and stock records. Still more
surprising, they used the decimal sys-
tenn, Moreover, their numerical
records-while not as convenient. per-
haps. nor as quickly noted down as
ours-were absolutely lucid and easily
transportable.
A knot record consists OF series
of knotted cords. depending, like q
fringe, from a main cord called
"ouipu' (from the Quichua Indian
word meaning 'knotD. The cords
used in knot accounts were spun
twice The desired length, then doubled
and the two strands twisted together'

the pendent cord was laid around the

There is second arc method Of
welding in which Il carbon electrode OF
rod Is substituted for the metallic cleo
trode Just described. In this case the
arc fuses the metal which is to be
Joined by welding and at the same time
melts a rod Of filling material, which Is
handled in much the same manner as
solder is melted and deposited by a
soldering iron. In this way additional
material Il built up. Because OF this
the process Is useful not only for weld
ing in the strictest sense Of the term,
but it is very helpful in plugging holes
in castings and In joining parts where
strength and appearance are not es-
sential. Again the carbon electrode is
admirably adapted to the cutting OF
metal bodies or for melting away ex-
cess material. OF course, for these
latter services the rods of filing metal
do not come into play.

The electric weider has to be pretty

arc generates ultraviolet rays, and
his body and his eyes must be shielded
from the harmful effect of these
beams, which injure exposed flesh
much after the fashion of sunburn.
Therefore. the operator looks through
colored glasses OF layers Of red and
green, and may even wear a hood
over his entire head or interpose a
screen between his face and the
binding glare Of the arc His hands
are safeguarded by asbestos gloves,
