Superintendents, Master Mechanics and Engineers of many prominent Railway Companies, who have tested the Patent Tallow Packing for Car Journals, have expressed to me in writing, surprise and satisfaction at its performance, and many of them pronounce it superior to any article heretofore introduced to them for Lubricating Purposes, and a RELIABLE PREVENTIVE OF HOT AXLES.

Rand & Waring Drill & Compressor Co...........New York..................See Front Page A watchmaker in Gosling, by the name of Schussleder, has recently published his method of hardening gravers and drills, which he claims renders them almost as hard as the diamond. He first heats the tool to a white heat, and then presses it into a stick of sealing wax, leaves it but a second there, and then sticks it into the wax in another place. This operation is rapidly repeated, until the graver is too cool to enter the wax. Drills tempered in this manner will pierce the hardest steel tempered in the usual manner. In turning or drilling, the tool is moistened with oil of turpentine. |
