28 TRADE NOTES. Jones & Laughlins, steel manufacturers of Pittsburgh, are continually making additions to their electrical equipment and have just ordered from the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. one 800 K.W., D.C. generator, two 150 K.W., motor-driven, two-phase alternators, and two 125-light, motor-driven are generators. The. Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co. not long since brought suit against the Philadelphia Pneumatic Tool Co. through the Franklin Boiler Works Co. for infringement of the Moffet drill patent, controlled by the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Co., and a temporary injunction has just been granted by Judge A. C. Coxe in the United States circuit court at Utica, N. Y. The drill as manufactured by the Philadelphia company was used by the Franklin Boiler Works Co. and that is why the latter is party to the suit. The injunction is especially against the further manufacture by the Phila- delphia company of the so-called Keller-Philadelphia pneumatic drill. Capt. Geo. A. Symes of the lake steamer Iron Chief, writing to the Robeson Chemical Co., Port Huron, Mich., says: "On April 26 of this year we received from your company a consignment of 'preservo' and at the same time a letter from Mr. Corrigan, owner of the Iron Chief, re- questing that we give the same a fair trial and report our findings to him as to the quality and usefulness of the same. We painted our hatch covers and canvas-covered decks on May 1. This has given us two months in which to test your composition and I am now in a position to say that the results are very gratifying. The paint has stood well for the time men- tioned, and it is certainly water-proof in every sense of the word." If one will write to William A. Hardy, Fitchburg, Mass., he will receive as dainty a little booklet as may be imagined on the subject of Etardys S. 5. metal. Hardys S. 5S. metal is the. original formula of Mr. William A. Hardy, designed by him in 1870, to meet the requirements of a durable anti-friction metal for steamship shaft and engine bearings. Aside from the specific purpose for which the metal was designed, it has been most successfully applied to bearings on various kinds of machinery, such as stationary engines, locomotives and railway car bearings, electric street railway~armature and axle bearings, electric motors, rolling mills, steam pumps, air compressors, paper mill machinery, calendar stacks, Jordan engines, saw-mills and wood-working machinery, and high-speed machinery of every description. These are some of its advantages claimed for it: It has a compressive strength of 12,095 lbs. per square inch, which is far beyond any mechanical demand; it has a specific gravity of 7.32 and is the lightest of any known anti-friction metal; it has a shrinkage of 5.64 in, when poured into an iron mould; it has a melting temperature of 316 C. or 600 F.; it is distinctly fluid and in condition to pour well at 330 C. or 626 F.; it runs cool under pressure that would crush many anti- friction metals and will not cut or score a shaft under any circumstances. The little booklet goes into a chemical analysis of the metal and is very interesting. lumber. MARINE REVIEW. Capacity 350,000 lumber; rates B1. Address P. O. Box 48, Sandusky, Ohio. U. S.
