Beveled Measuring Surfaces and Clamp Screw.
This form of' measuring surfaces, until quite re,-
cently, has been used exclusively, and is considered
by■ some, stronger than the square.
The Clamp Screw device will be found a valua
ble adjunct if properly used. The object of this is,
not to fasten the spindle at a certain point and then
use the micrometer as common calipers, but simply
to secure the spindle so that it can be laid down without changing the point of
measurement, and it should be used for this purpose only.

Gauge Screw spindle, and the edges of the Measur
ing Surfaces are not beveled, but are left square. It
is more convenient for measuring certain classes of
work ; it will gauge under a shoulder, or measure a small projection on a plane sur
face. Tool makers will especially appreciate Micrometers of this form.
The readings in ten-thousandths of an inch are obtained by means of a Vernier,
or series of divisions, on the barrel of caliper, as shown in cut.
Calipers graduated to ten-thousandths should not commonly be used where fine
measurements are not required, as in an instrument of this class a wear is perceptible
and important, which would be of comparatively slight consequence in a caliper
that reads only to thousandths.

Oftentimes the operator uses the Nipper
as if it were a Plier. For very hard

be used, although the Button plier, Fig.

Forge No. 0 is especially adapted for blacksmiths' work .
This size has been brought out within the past few years,
and has met with considerable favor. It has very largely
taken the place of the brick forge and bellows. It heats
quicker with less labor. The initial cost is very much-
less, and for durability and reliability, it excels. This
forge will produce a welding beat on 3 inch iron in five
minutes ; on 4 inch in ten minutes. Height to hearth, 30

UNIVERSAL CLAMP DRILL&
A Clamp Drill is a tool that ought to
be found in every well regulated Machine
shop, Factory, Mill, Steam and Street Rail
way shops ; also among Bridge builders'
and Structural workers' tools, as they can
be used for a greater variety of work than
almost any other tool. In many places
where it would be impossible to use a
Ratchet Drill ; also in many cases where
Ratchet Drills are used, this style of Drill
is very much preferred, as some classes of
drilling can be done with much less labor
and in one-third of the time.
It is a tool that is not in constant use,
but when there is use for it, it becomes in
dispensable, as the name implies; they
will drill at any angle. We show two
styles ; can furnish others if desired.

SCREW PLATES, OR STOCKS AND DIES.
In the past twenty years or so there
has been considerable of an evolution both
in the manufacture and sale of screw-
plates. In the old style of taps and dies,
duplication or interchangeability of pieces
was evidently never considered. The
bolt was threaded and the nut tapped to
fit, or vice versa. The taps were usually
tapering so that if a size could not be
obtained in one part it could in another.
The cut, Fig. 550, is reproduced from an
illustration in P. S. Stubs' catalogue just
received ; it represents about as primitive
a style as can well be imagined. From
the fact of its being shown in this cata
logue, we are led to infer that there must
still be a sale (in some lands) for this
style of plate.

FORBES' PATENT DIE STOCKS.
Every one who has ever done cutting
or threading of pipe, and especially of
large sizes, with the old style long-handled
stock, knows well the difficulty with
which it is attended. From two to four
men are required to do the work, and
even then it is seldom that anything is
attempted larger than four inches. This
want has placed on the market a machine
that is powerful enough to allow one man
to cut off and thread all sizes of pipe up
to six inches, and even eight inches, by
hand, with ease; and with the smaller PIG. 689.

With this arrangement of machine Price, so arranged, but without the solid
great compactness is obtained, which dies. 845.00
makes it especially adapted for working
in confined places. Even if the pipe to
be threaded is at the bottom of a tren
and only one end exposed, the machine
can be slipped on and the pipe threaded
without removing it from the ground.
All dies are adjustable, and if one die
of the set is lost or broken it can be re
placed by the number, without supplying
an entire new set. This is a feature
possessed by no other make Any part
can be duplicated by simply naming it &
sending the shop number of machine.
All gears are cut from the solid.
The chief difference between these
and most other makes of pipe thread
ing machines is, that, instead of turn
ing the heavy length of pipe in the dies,
the comparatively light dies are tinned
around the pipe. Thus we are able to
furnish a machine that is lighter,
smaller, more compact, more simple of
construction, requiring less power to
run it, and above all .cheaper than any
of the other standard machines in the

OPEN BACK SINGLE-ACTING PRESSES.
The advantage of the open back press
over those with a solid hank, and the
crank on. the end of shaft, are as fol
lows: The crank is supported by journals
on each side, preventing the shaft fmra
springing add chafing; the opening in
back admits light—a very necessary con
dition fqr the nice adjustment of dies;
the wheel is on the side, and within easy
reach of the operator, the metal can be
fed from front to back, as well as from
right to left.
The patterns for these presses are so
constructed as to enable them to be made
with the distance from bed to bottom of
slide, the width between uprights, the
manner of holding punches, size of open
ing in bed, etc , to suit requirements in
all cases'; making it possible to build presses
adapted to any existing tools or fixtures.
The table gives such sizes as are made for
standard presses, when no special in
structions are given, but any modification
can be made to suit the purchaser.

Within the past few
years, there has been
brought out a great vari

work. The special ad
vantages claimed for
these tools consist intheir
great convenience and

tool steel in most of these
tools takes the place of
from five to ten pounds
of the ordinary tool, the
steel being practically all
used up, and is not liable
to loss from re-forging.
After each forging the

To change the length and position of
cut with Geared Shaper, it is simply neces
sary to move shifter stops to proper posi
tion on ram, which may be done in an
instant and while machine is in motion.
With Crank Shaper, it is first necessary
to change crank pin to proper position and
clamp it, and then change connection on
ram to position that will travel tool over
part requiring planing, and clamp it. To
do this requires more time than with the
Geared Shaper. The power or strength
of cut is uniform in all cases with Geared
Shaper; with Crank Shaper it is variable
and apt to be lacking for long strokes, and
especially so at midway of stroke, while
for short strokes there is usually an excess.
With the Geared Shaper the cut is uni

Crank Shaper the speed of cut gradually
increases from start to fastest at middle

than T2T. Another lap of 12i per, cent or
more is due to crank motion.
From what has been said, it will be

SMALL PLANER.
In the past, small planers designed for
the use of model makers, experimenters
and amateurs, have had single lifting
screws to raise or lower the cross head,
and have been of so light design as to be
, of little practical use. The makers of the
Hand and Power planers shown on this
page, have made a
wide departure from
old designs and have
produced a small
planer, from heavy
and well-proportioned
patterns, mounted on
a heavy cabinet bench
with shelf brackets in
side and out \ making
altogether a very com
plete and substantial
machine tool.

It can be used daily,

of planing a heavy

WHITCOMB PLANERS.
These Planers have been continuously
manufactured for the past 45 years, and
have attained a world-wide, and, we
think, deserved reputation for reliability
and general excellence. Active and, un
ceasing efforts on the part of the manu
facturers have always kept thest
fully abreast of the times and in the front
rank of machine tools. Where-
ever used they are, almost with
out exception, the favorite
planer with the men in the shop
and consequently are very profitable tools
for the owner.
In their construction a high standard
of workmanship is always maintained.
Every machine is run and carefully tested
before leaving the factory. Their design
is such as to give the best disposition of
material to produce rigidity and strength.
Labor is expended just where it should
be, we think, to give the greatest accuracy
in working, and the best wearing quali
ties. In short, it has been and is the aim
of the manufacturers to make tools which
shall be first-class in every respect, and
which shall be thoroughly economical and
profitable planers to the users. fig. 861.
SPECIAL FEATURE. 42 x 42 x 10 with doubi.f. head.
There is a special feature embodied in
the construction of the 17, 24, 30, 36 and
42 inch planers. By means of the offsets
in uprights, as shown in illustrations, the
capacity of the planer is increased as
follows :
In the 17 inch, 2 inches in width for
about 5 inches above the table.
In the 24 and 30 inch, 3 inches in
width for about 6 inches above fhe table.
In the 36 and 42 inch, 4 inches in
width for about 7 inches above the table.

MILLING MACHINES.
There have been great advances made
in Milling processes, which have resulted
in a great many improvements in Milling
Machines during the past few years.
To do the subject of milling machines
anything like justice, would require our
taking— at least — from thirty to forty
pages in this book, and we haven't the
room to spare. The fact is—if we may
be pardoned the conceit — we know too
much about Milling Machines to under
take to go into any exhaustive description
in the limited space we have.
We have in our own works, in constant
use, seven different styles of Milling
Machines, from one to three of each kind,
and doing a great variety of work. In
some cases, on certain classes of work, we
are doing from six to eight times as much
work as could be done on the Planer in
the same time.

by an adjustable arrangement of weights, so that any pressure
required may be placed on the wheel when grinding. By means
of this machine iu connection with either the emery wheel or

WILSON'S OIL FILTER.
At the present time all high-speed Engines, Dyna
mos and many other rapid running machines are
designed with devices for gathering waste oil from
journals and bearings, and many old machines are
being provided with such devices.
Such waste oil may be refined and rendered as serv
iceable as fresh oil.
The special object in planning this Filter has been
to produce, at a low price, one so simple in construction
that its arrangement would be readily understood, in
which all parts requiring cleansing would be so acces
sible as to leave no excuse for neglect, and at the same
time be so effective as to perform the work perfectly.

ROPER OIL SEPARATOR.
The Centrifugal Oil Separator is designed to
thoroughly and quickly remove the oil from metal
turnings formed in the manufacture of bolts and screws,
and from small t>.'ijj> articles such as screws, bolts,
nuts, etc. , which /<3i^ in their manufacture are
coated with oil FIG. 1072.
It is estimated by some who have
used the machine that the saving of oil,
in any manufacturing establishing con
suming annually from eight to ten
barrels of oil, will be amply sufficient to
warrant and necessitate the purchase
of a Roper Oil Separator.
This revolving drum has within it a
removable pan, in which the oily chips,
turnings or screws are placed, the
'pan being removed to discbarge its con
tents when the oil has been thrown off
between it and the metal
cover, locked down closely
by a lock-nut. The oil dis
charged into the outer cas
ing is delivered from an
outlet into a suitable vessel,
ready to be used over again.

SAFETY WATER COLUMN.
The sole object of tho Safety Water
Column is to cause the water in steam
boilers to he carried uniformly at the
proper level. The accomplishment of this
result means not only safety for life and
property, but economy of fuel and re
pairs, and longer life for the boilers.
There are a number of different styles
of Water Columns, but the Reliance
Safety Column has advantages over all
others, and is generally conceded to be
the best.

TOKIO

LACQUEES.

These are intended for use on metallic surfaces, and

serve the double purpose of making a durable, though
invisible, protective- coating, and of imparting color
when desired. They are made in Transparent, Gold,
Dull Black, or any color. The Gold is very deep in
tone, and can be mixed with the Transparent to pro
duce any shade of gold desired. Our sales consist
almost entirely of the Transparent, and this is the only
kind we carry in stock. The other colors we furnish
to order only, and cannot supply in less quantities than
a gallon.
Tokio Lacquers are easily applied, and possess
extreme durability ; they are sent out, of brushing
consistency, but by means of the Keducing Liquid any
desired body can be obtained.
For dipping bulk work, these Lacquers may be re
duced, by adding as much as three parts of Eeducing
Liquid, to one part of Lacquer, and articles so lacquered
will not adhere or stick together ; the lacquer drips off
perfectly, leaving an even and durable finish.
When the articles to be lacquered are large enough
to hang up to dry separately, the lacquers can be used
for dipping of the consistency sent out. Bronze statu
ary and the larger ornaments of stoves, etc., can be
lacquered in this manner very satisfactorily, as the lac
quers flow out perfectly, and there is nothing made
that will give a more durable protective coating.
A valuable feature of Tokio Lacquers is, they contain
no gun-cotton or other explosive, and are consequently
safer to use, than many other lacquers. Also the flash
336 CHAS. A. STRELINGER & CO., DETROIT, MICH., Vt. 8. A.

point is much higher than many lacquers now in use,

which gives an additional element of safety.
We furnish these in three grades or qualities, which
we call "A," "B" and "C." "A" grade is used only
for the finest work, such as silverware, etc.; "B" grade
is used for fine work and general purposes, and is really
as fine in quality as most Lacquers, sold at a much
higher price. For many purposes the "C" grade will
be found to answer admirably.

A saving of fuel and heat is at once

are thoroughly baked, and in a much

WATCHMAN'S CLOCKS.
A watchman is employed to protect one
against theft aud fire. and. incidentally,
to impart a sense of security to owners
of property. If the watchman is lazy,
careless, or (as is sometimes the case),
worse, the Watchman's Clock will expose
him. If, on the other hand, he. is faith
ful, the Clock will serve but to confirm
his reliability.
The Clocks shown here serve a double
purpose, of a watch upon the watchman,
and a timepiece.

GASOLINE FIRE POTS AND TOUCHES.
Gasoline Fire Pots were first placed
upon the market in somewhat crude
form, about ten years ago. Originally
they were intended more especially for
the use of plumbers and tinsmiths, but
their great advantages have led to their
being used for an endless variety of pur
poses.
Up to the present time there have been
issued two hundred and eighty-six pat
ents, based upon various forms of burners
and general construction.
The line of Gasoline appliances which
we show here is uncommonly complete,
and the goods are, we believe, superior in
all respects. A very desirable feature of
these goods is, that the tanks are stamped
out of sheet brass T\ inch thick, which
makes them practically indestructible.
This refers to all Torches and Fire Pots
The Oil Torches, Fig. 1445, are largely from Figs. 1448 to 1453 inclusive.

SPECIAL TUBING.
The word "Special " as applied to Tub
ing covers a great deal of ground. As
a matter of fact, all Tubing may be
r classed as "Special," as we know of no
manufacturer of Tubing that attempts to
carry in hiock any variety of sizes, in
either the brazed or seamless tubes.
We deem it necessary to make this
statement, as the majority of users seem
to have the idea that they can get Tubing
of any size at a moment's notice, while,
as a matter of fact, it usually takes from
two to six weeks to till an oiderfor a fair
quantity, and on many sizes of Tubing FIG. 1486. EXTRA FANCY PATTERNS.

SPECIALS.
We have had the accom
panying illustration made to
show a few styles of Special
Screws, Nuts, Washers, Col
lars, Pins, Rollers, etc.
These goods are all pro
duced on Automatic Mach
ines, and in large quantities
can be furnished at very low
prices.
As special tools have to be
made for each size and style,
the cost is considerable, hence
it is inexpedient to figure on
small lots. When only a few
are required, the cheapest—
and in fact the only prac
tical—way is to make them
in the lathe.
We will be pleased to name
prices on any article of this
character.
In writing, send sample if
possible; if not, send drawing
with exact and full particu
lars as to dimensions and kind
of material.

SUPERIOR GERMAN INSTRUMENTS.
Coming after the Swiss in point of
quality and usefulness, is our line of Sup
erior German Instruments. They are
also made with a pivot joint, and very
closely resemble the former. They will,
in most cases, do the work of the fore
man, machinist, pattern maker, carpen
ter or other mechanic quite well enough,
where the extreme accuracy expected of
the draughtsman or designer is not re
quired.
Where the mechanic is an enterprising
fellow, and likes to lay out any piece of
work given him, and be sure he is right
(on such work as is not laid out in detail
for him), these Instruments are especially
desirable.

DRAWING PAPERS.
DETAIL PAPER is made cold-pressed
with slightly grained surface. Will stand
a fair amount of erasing, and take pencil
or India ink drawings very nicely. Full
rolls weigh from 100 to 120 lbs.
BUFF PAPER is as its name implies,
Buff in color. Is especially intended for
preliminary and general drawings. In
working on this color, it does not tire the
eyes. It will also admit of a great deal
of handling, without soiling or cracking,
and stand erasing perfectly. Full rolls
weigh from 30 to 35 lbs.
GENERAL—The color of this Paper is
white, and of the same quality as the
Buff. Used largely for general office and
school work.
