26. MARINE REVIEW. [June 26 INDUCTION MOTORS AT THE CONTINENTAL IRON WORKS. The Continental Iron Works of Brooklyn, N. Y., well known in ship building circles on account of the special type of furnace which they make, have recently purchased from the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. considerable additions to their electrical equipment. The purchase includes a 180-K. W., 220-volt, 60-cycle, two-phase alternator, a five-panel switchboard, eleven induction motors of from 5 to 20 H.P. each, with the accompanying auto-starters. The company some time ago installed alternators of 120 K.W., and 45 K.W. each, and of the same characteristics as the above. They also have quite a number of induction motors in use driving corrugating and bending rolls for making Morison fire-boxes, also driving fans, shears, tools in the machine shop, etc. Some of the motors which have recently been purchased are to displace direct-current motors, the original installation at this particular plant having been of direct-current apparatus. Afterwards a 45 K.W. alternator was put in to try alternating current distribution and subsequently the 120 K.W. and 180 K.W. alternators have been purchased. The direct-current motors are rapidly being replaced by alternating-current induction motors, and this is after a thorough and careful investigation of the subject and several years' trial of the induction motors. In fact, when the new 180 K.W. alternator is installed, the old direct-current generator will be used as an exciter, also furnishing current to one or two small direct-current motors which will be used for a while until they are worn out. SMOOTH-ON | Pete) ee We have many like the following: April 26, 1901. To Whom It May Concern: We have used Smooth- On Iron Cement for leaks and fractures on Water Jackets of Gas Engines with satisfac- tory results. We find it an economical way of making a durable repair. Hudson County Gas Co. P. S. Young, Secretary. A ub The Smooth-On Iron and Steel Cements are dry metallic com- «| positions--which, when mixed with water, become a hard metallic iron that is insoluble in Steam, Water, Petroleum or other oils-- that will withstand an intense heat, and, the expansion and contrac- tion being the same as iron, is why they are sometimes called Magic Iron. When applied to a blemish in a casting by a skilled mechanic the blemish is removed. Unequalled for boiler patching and stop- ping blowholes in iron or steel castings; when metalized, Smooth- On is the color of cast iron and as hard.

This demands a special varnish however, as atmospheric conditions are more destructive to varnish afloat than ashore and the ordinary article is of but little use.
