ders of vulcanized rubber placed perpendicularly to the casings, the whole being bolted together. Babbitt's armor-plating. Brady's method of Affixing defensive armorplates, March 3, 1863, is by attaching them edgewise to the object to be protected, and securing them by means of bolts, whose ends pass into cavities in the inner edges of the plates, and are made fast by being enlarged therein, or by being intersected by transverse apertures through which pins or keys may be passed. Montgomery's armor. Brady's armor-plating. Wappich's armor. In Wappich's system, March 3, 1863, the outer plates have projections passing through the hull and interior plating, where they are keyed; each outer plate has also projections or lugs k, entering the casing d to a certain distance, and receiving the bolts l, which are keyed to the interior plate: it has also notched flanges, or bent ends, passing into the casing; these are employed to bind the ends of the plates together, and increa

om the upward currents; the down flow of solid water is between the shell and the insulating cylinder, and the up flow of foam is among and around the tubes.

The platforms counterbalance each other, so that the work of the engine is confined to lifting the weight of their contents and overcoming friction. Montgomery's (Fig. 5700) is mounted on a carriage, and is selfpropel-ling; its arrangements are such as to enable it to be used for hoisting, pumping, etc., and also as a

51, was the first machine to sew tubular goods, such as shirtsleeves, boot-legs, etc.; and in 1865 it was estimated that 50,000 sewing-machines, embracing one or the other of the features of this improvement, were in use. Tubular rail. Tub′u-lar rail. A railway-rail having a continuous longitudinal opening which serves as A duct for water; Woodhouse English patent, 1803; or A steam-pipe to prevent the accretion of ice or snow upon the track; Grimes's English patent, 1831. Montgomery's tubular rail has its upper and lower faces alike, so that it may be reversed when injured by wear. It is held on one side by a rabbet in the longitudinal sill upon which it is laid, and on the other by locking plates secured by bolts pass- ing through the sills and ties. A number of other forms might be mentioned. Tub′u-lar rein. One in which an additional or safety rein slips through the other rein, which is hollow. See the following patents: — 13,306.

The first water-works in the United States were planned and constructed by Mr. John Christopher Christensen, at Bethlehem, Pa., in 1762. The machinery consisted of three singleacting force-pumps, of 4-inch caliber and 18-inch stroke, and worked by a triple crank, and geared to the shaft of an und
