Work of Acetylene.

poPULAR as aoetylene has become
during the past two decades rs a
gas, the uses OF the medium are really
in their infancy. About eighteen
years ago calcium carbide-the prin-
cipal source Of acetylene-was pre-
pared for general use. Nevertheless,
tho gas has as yet been employed
mainly for lighting. Engineers
throughout the world have applied
themselves of late years to the prob
lem Of extending the application of
the gas, with results that seem likely
to revolutionize industries requiring
a high degree OF heat.
Instances OF these wonders have
been given by means Of motion pic
ture films "No more rivets," was the
title Of one picture. It revealed ..
workman welding together two pieces
Of steel by means Of an acetylene
blower. The heat generated was $500
degrees at least. and by its means
the two pieces Of steel were simply
welded together. There followed
picture showing a workman cutting
out designs in steel by means OF an
acetylene blower as easily as cutting
paper, with the advantage that no
mechanically followed the draftsman's
plan. The draftsman's design on pa
per is laid on q machine. Over Il tho
workman simply runs a wheel, fol-
lowing the drawing. BY q mechani-
cal arrangement the blower moves
exactly with the wheel, but over q
sheet Of steel. With almost incon-
ceivable ease. fantastic designs are
cut out of the solid steel. The most
intense heat with the blower 10 Sc
cured when oxygen is mixed with the
acetylene.
An example Of the uses to which
this combination can be put was
