OLD GENOA
Selected

III E is wise or fortunate traveller, or
both, who, first adventuring forth
to enjoyment of the beauties and
riches of Italy, approaches her from the
sea, and strides ashore from his ship at
Genoa. That is better than stealing
through Swiss mountains by night or
working round in train by the French
Riviera and crossing a frontier line at
Ventimigla, says the Christian Science
Monitor.
1t is difficult in the latter circumstance
to feel that one has changed from France
to Italy; the impression grows slowly and
is graduated, which is always bad for an
impression.
Come suddenly upon Genoa from the
sea (giving thought as your craft steams
in to the famous lighthouse at the entrance
to the harbor-it is 400 years old, and of
style suitable to Italy,, and Genoa strikes
you as a fine, strong representative piece of
Italy. Genoa, with her glorious past, is
steeling herself sternly now to modern ma
terialistic demands.
There is no other city in Italy which
combines so many features of the country's
life, appearance, history, traditions and
sensations as does Genoa. 1t is place
of measureless variety and enormous con-
trasts. There may be little of Rome about
it, aFsySv might say, nor scarcely ail5ss..aiEg
of the deiicacy, the elegance, the aesthetic
refinement of Florence.
But Genoa, this first seaport of Italy, is
busy, commercial place, of enormous
achievement both before and during the
war, and which up to the beginning of
hostilities was doing a trade of over two
hundred million American dollars a year.
1t is a city of vast aspirations, coupled
with a practical way of working them out.
In busy Genoa you get occasional re-
minders of Bologna, of Verona, and of
the veritable Venice. And, again, you
have here some of the stern modernity of
Milan - plain, manufacturing metropolis
of the north, bent coldly to the needs of
commerce and trade.
Genoa couples in herself some of the
romance of the Queen of the Adriatic
with the modern commercial hardheaded-
ness of Milan. Milan in Italy is what
Manchester is to England; and even in
the magnificent opera house, the Scala,
where so many of the worlds best singers
have been nursed, there is the feeling al
ways that here commerce is patronizing
il lordly DER the arts.
You may poke about the myriad little
pinnacles on the roof of the cathedral,
and gaze afar to the white-capped Alps
overlooking the lakes of wondrous blue,
Tut commerce seems to tinge almost every
contemplation. And this is good for Italy,
for Italy cannot live on art and tradi-
ton alone. But Genoa, next in commerce
and first in the ranks of Italian ports,
while doing its commerce on the grand
scale, has the art and color and favor of
old Italy as well.
Go down by the harbor, and, notwith-
standing the busy hustle and the certain
evidence of the modern world, one would
hardly be astonished to see two gentlemen
of old Genoa, attired in brightly colored
silks, with swords at sides, page 8. Col. s)

ROLLING TEETH IN GEARS
Selected

TT HOSE mechanically inclined will be
interested in the following descrip-
ton of how gears are made with
out cutting the teeth.
AS early as 1872 John Comley attempted
to mold gear teeth on blank heated to
forging temperature by a knurling process.
His efforts were unsuccessful because of
the neglect to take into consideration the
inevitable slippage between the die roll
and the heated blank, if the rotational
motion of either was dependent on that of
the other
The one factor vitally necessary to the
successful perfection of gear rolling was
overlooked until H. N Anderson, of the
Anderson Rolled Gear Co. Cleveland,
Ohio, some ten years ago conceived and
developed the idea of positively actuating
both of the functioning shafts and ac-
curately synchronizing their rotation by
driving them through independent timing
gears. This improvement entirely elimi-
mated slippage between the die roll and
gear blank and the resulting tooth distor-
ton and inaccurate spacing which had
caused the failure of previous attempts to
roll gears from heated blank. Mr.. An
derson's original idea in developing this
method and constructing his first machine
was to replace the gashing operation fused
as a preliminary step in the prevalent
method of gear production) with the roll
ing process and then to finish the gears in
the usual manner.
The first machine, completed in 1911, not
only established the soundness of his idea,
but also produced gears with teeth SO
perfectly and precisely formed that any
further finishing operations on the teeth
were unnecessary. This achievement won
for Mr.. Anderson the award of the John
Scott Legacy Medal by the Franklin In
stitute, in 1915.
The perfection of the process then re-
solved itself into question of developing
system of gearing that would permit of
the use of accurately formed die rolls
which could be produced at comparatively
low cost and could be redressed when
necessary without destroying the precision
of the nodded tooth profile during the life
of the dies. The accomplishment of this
and of the next step-adaptation of this
system of dies for use in a machine oper-
ating on the principle evolved-has COM
pleted the dream of the theorists as to the
practical production of gears by a process
of true molding.
The high cost of producing die rolls
with maximum degree of precision made
it primary necessity to devise form or
shape of tooth for the die rolls which
would minimize this first cost and also
make possible economical and accurate re-
dressing. This proved to be no very diff
cult problem as the plane sided tooth of
the standard involute rack and the char
acteristic tooth of the standard crown gear,
provide in each case forms which can be
easily and cheaply produced with very
high degree of precision and which can be
reproduced or redressed with equal ease
and accuracy.
For the production of standard, helicai
and herringbone gears of the spur type, a
die of the involute form could not be used;

COMETS PLAY FIRST
GAME ON THURSDAY

Tuesday evening the Original
Comets" Of Colby college will play
their first game under the manage
ment of Frank DeRice Of Portland
as the Portland Comets" in the
Exposition building at Portland.
They are slated to play Heals Maine
All Stars, namely: Soper, White.
Duffy, Mishou, and Heal. who are
thought by many to be the fastest
club in New England. However, the
Comets have just as good record
and all agree it will be battle royal.
These two clubs are the fastest that
the State has turned out. The Com
cts are playing their usual lineup:
Lampher, left forward; Hendricks,
who has played on the Los Angeles
Athletic Club and the Crescent A. c.
of New York at right forward: En-
holm, one of Colby's football stars,
as center: George Dunnack. also one
of Colby's football men, at left guard.
and Smith Dunnaci. who has played
with the Comets for several years, as
right guard. Although the season
has just started, the Comets have met
and defeated some of the strongest
teams in the State. This is the big
test and the team winning this game
will be the logical contender for the
New England championship.
