has won a wide reputation for the reliability and
high standard of its products. It began its op-
Erations at Twenty-.eighth—st. and Seventh-ave"
Lion moving to Fourteenth-st. and VVashington-
st.. Where it remained about' three years. In
1893 the plant of the companywas moved to
Ampere, N. J. Two years later a'fire destroyed
the buildings, and the present modernfactory
was erected, in which the manufacture of the
varied products of this company has since been
carried on [under a much greater advantage.
The new factory is the embodiment of all that
is best in the most progressive machine shop.
practice. This company was the pioneer in the

warfare which has been waged for the last six
year by electricity against shafting in factories.

The distribution of power by electricity-through- ‘. p

out the floors of a building of several stories or
throughout a. plant of large extent has been
steadily gaining" ground against the old—fash-
ioned method of power distribution by means of
shafts and belts, wire ropes, compressed air, and
every other method of power transmission. ‘
The advantages of electric power distribution
are many and various. In- the first place, there
is the great advantage of increased economy of
operation. With shafting, the friction load is
often found to be from one-quarter to three-
quarters the total load of the engine, due to
the friction of theshafts and belts. This fric-
tion loss is constant, no matter what the useful
work amounts to. If many tools are shut down
and only part of the plant is in operation, this
loss becomes many times more than the useful
power transmitted. In a factory. in which the
power is distributed by means of electricity in-
stead of by shafting, when only a few machines
need to be operated only those machines, and
no others, consume any power. In a factory
where the power is’transmitted by shafting, the
long lines of shafting mustwbe run in order to
operate perhaps one or two machines on one
floor. The running of this, great amount of idle
shafting is what causes the great inefficiency of
the plant, as the shafting takes so much pOWer
to .run it, even when it is doing no useful work.
If a tool has an electric motor direct connect-
ed, geared, or belted to it, this motor is entirely
shut off and consumes absolutely no power when
the tool is not in operation. The electric con-
ductors, which convey the current to the motor,
.do not waste any energy when no current is
flowing through them; and even when a current
is flowing through them the waste of energy
in the wires is extremely‘small, amounting to
only 2 or 3 per cent, and, at mest, 5 per cent,
which is much less than the power wasted in
friction ofshafting. .. , . .
_ Another great advantage of electric distribu—

ion of power in factories is that the machines

are entirely independent of overhead shafting,

and need not be kept in alignment with any

shafting, which is frequently a source of trouble
and annoyance. An electrically driven‘ tool can
be placed in any convenient place in a factory,
it being extremely simple and easy to run two
electric wires to the motor which drives it. An
electrically driven factory burned down recently,
and, owing to this system of power distribution,
. none of the large lathes, which was not material-
'ly damaged in the fire, was running three‘days
.after the fire, the wires giving current to the
motor being strung on poles over the smoking
ruins of the building. With the old method of
driving by shafting, this tool could not have
been in operation until the building had been
rebuilt and a line of shafting put up, which
would have taken many weeks.

Cleanliness, safety and quietness are other
advantages of electric power distribution, since
it does away with innumerable vertical belts
seen in ordinary factories. which throw dirt
and dust about and are a source of danger to
the workmen by catching of clothes, hands,
etc., and also by the noise of their slipping add
to the din and confusion in the factory.

‘ The first cost of an electrically driven factory
. is somewhat higher than that of a factory driven
by shafting in the old way, but it has been
frequently proved that the difference in cost
of operation of the two systems will more than
pay for the interest of the difference in the
amount of original investment.

WATER SUPPLY ENGINEERING.

The business of engineering and contracting
for water supply, waterworks, oil, gas and
nrtesian wells, presents a field of industry of
great importance and one in which. New-York
firms naturally take the lead. This city enjoys
peculiar advantages in its central location,
enabling manufacturers to obtain lower through
‘freight rates by railroad, steamship or sailing
vessels to far distant pair»: than is possible
elsewhere.

To this fact and to the energy and enterprise
of the local manufacturers are due the enormous
strides which have been made in the business.
The business in this city is also facilitated by
the fact that the manufacturers themselves are
able tobuy here all of the materials used in the
construction of their machines at a much lower
price than they could be obtained elsewhere.

, -An important feature of the business is the
drilling of artesian wells, those drilled in this
city alone having effected a saving of over
$1,000,000 a year in water rates. '

The business of the local firms covers a large
territory, and isiby nome‘ans confined to the
c1ty'and the State. A large share of business
is done in Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, New—Jersey,
Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and
Massachusetts. .

Among those engaged in the business in this
city is one firm which is the oldest in the coun-
try“ and which, during a period of twenty-five
years, has alone drilled wells amounting in
:value to over $1,000,000, and ranging from fifty
to three thousand feet in depth, some of which
have been drilled in the most difficult geological
formations known. In addition to engaging in
work of this character the New-York firms
manufacture all of the best tools and machinery
required in the work, the list comprising such
articles as walking beam rigS, oil and gas well
pupplies, drilling engines, boilers, pumping rigs,
Steam pumps for water or oil, deep Well

jumps, portable engines, drilling and fishing
