ley-Richards gun (H) is an English arm having a pivoted breech-block whose front end is depressed by the action of a lever pivoted to the stock beneath the rear of the barrel. The Snider gun (I), built at Enfield, England, is similar to our Springfield converted rifle, of which presently. The breech-block is hinged to the rear of and above the barrel, the block throwing upward and forward, exposing a chamber in rear of the bore. Into this the cartridge is dropped, pushed into the bore, thebarreled, and the breechblock is hinged at the side, swinging upwardly and laterally. It carries both firing-pins, and is locked shut by a latch. Plate 17 gives views of the three arms recommended this year (1873) by the army commission at Springfield. R is the Springfield arm, having a breech-block hinged to the upper edge of the barrel and swinging upward and forward. The indorsement of the board, as the best all things considered, entitles it to an honorable place in the series of ex

qual size to be used separately for changing the rapidity of vibration of the cutters. 1860. The Henderson rake, or what is known as the wood machine, having a chain below the platform which carries the rake in a curved path. 1861. The Sieberling dropper, which is a slatted platform that vibrates to discharge the gavel. 1861. Dutton inclosed the gearing in a metallic case, forming a part of the main frame. Plate XLVI. shows three forms of the Whiteley Champion harvester of Springfield, Ohio. The upper figure is the mowing-machine; below it is the reaping-machine, with dropping arrangement, which deposits the gavel behind the cutter-bar; the lower figure is the self-raking reaper. The reaping and automatic binding-machine of S. D. Locke, of Hoosick Falls, N. Y., made by Walter A. Wood of that place, and shown in Plate LI., is believed to have overcome the difficulties of the The champion harvester As a Mower: a Dropper: a Self-Raker. binding problem, after pe

ses of invention named is true of the others, as well as of some not mentioned, — the American watch, for instance. The assembling system — that is, making the component parts of an article in distinct pieces to pattern, so as to be interchangeable, and then putting them together — is the only system of order. How else should the Providence Tool Company execute their order for 600,000 rifles for the Turkish government? How otherwise could the Champion Harvesting-Machine Companies of Springfield, Ohio, turn out an equipped machine every four minutes each working day of ten hours? Or, to draw the illustration from the subject in hand, how by any other than the nicest arrangement of detail can the Singer Sewing-Machine Company make 6,000 machines per week in their works at Elizabethport, New Jersey? Cylinder sewing-machine. The data for showing the rate of increase of the sales of sewing-machines since the year 1851, is not accessible to the writer, even if it be obtainable at a<

6477, the tires are placed upon edge in the annular case, which is turned upon rollers above the fire. Tire-meas′ur-er. An instrument for measuring the circumference of wheels and the length of the developed tires, invented by Wray of Springfield, Ohio, are shown in Fig. 6478. It differs from the ordinary tire-circle in having a supplementary hand b attached to the pointer a, which is fixed, while the hand b may be set so as to allow for the desired lap in welding. Tirefond. Tire diameter, open at one end to the chimney and to the fire-box at the other. As many as 303 flue-tubes are employed in the Great Western engine, England. See also steam-boiler, Plate LXI. The Anderson Tubulous boiler (mast, Foos, & Co., Springfield, O.). In tubular marine boilers, the flame and hot gases from the furnaces are led through a great number of small flue-tubes (of iron or brass), completely surrounded by water to the uptake at the bottom of the chimney Fig. 6756 shows N

nd-ties and tightly driven earth in the rear. Wheat-drill. A machine for sowing wheat and other grain in rows. Each hoe in the series opens a furrow, and the grain is led in by a rubber tube, which conducts the seed from the hopper. The improved drills of the present day have hoppers attached for sowing grass-seed or fertilizers, and some have arrangements for sowing grain or corn broadcast. Wheat-drill ( Buckeye ). Fig. 7163 is a perspective view of Mast's wheat-drill (Springfield, O.). Fig. 7164 shows the force-feed wheel, one of which Plate LXXV. proposed wharfage, piers, and improved Harbor-front for the city of New York. is placed on the bottom of the hopper above each spout, to insure the feed and not depend upon the gravity of the grain. The feed is regulated from 1/2 bushel of wheat to 3 bushels of oats, without change of gears, by means of an adjustable rotary disk in the feed-cup, so arranged that all the feeders are set at once by merely moving the i
