1903.] TRADE NOTES, The American Ship Windlass Company's new foundry at Providence, R. I., was put in operation a few days ago, and is now prepared to furnish iron castings of all styles promptly. Those who are familiar with the superior class of windlass work and other specialties turned out by this company and are users of castings, will no doubt avail themselves of the opportunity of this corporation's output in this line--Marine Journal. The Brooklyn Engineers' Club held the first meeting of the season on the evening of October 8. Besides the usual formal business, a very interesting paper, entitled "A History of Pumps Ancient and Modern," was read by Mr. John A. Drew of the Worthington company. Mr. Drew sketched the development of pumping machines from the early Egyptian "Noria," resembling the familiar well sweep, to the latest triple-expansion, condensing, water-works pumping engines, requiring little more than a pound of coal per horse-power-hour. The paper was illustrated by a large number of lantern slides. Dixon graphite pipe joint compound, made by the Joseph Dixon Crucible Go., Jersey City, N. J, is rapidly pushing to the front. The company reports that large orders are constantly com- MARINE REVIEW AND MARINE RECORD. 33 pounds in small packa ' ges for use in its various plants. This com- pound is used to goo d advantage on all pipe joints, gasket sur- faces, bolts, water tube caps, and in many other places on steam- ships. The Dixon company will be glad to send prices and sam- ples to anyone who will drop them a postal. Authorities of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition are taking every precaution to prevent the recurrence at St. Louis of any such disastrous fire as that which destroyed the great cold stor- age building at the Chicago exposition in 1893, and are making adequate provision for water supply by putting in the largést installation of fire pumps in the world. 'These pumps, which have been purchased from Henry R. Worthington of New York city, comprise twelve, 1000-gallon, standard underwriter fire-pumps, each capable of supplying four fire streams, making it possible to have forty-eight fire streams in use at one time. The pumps _ are of the duplex, double-acting type and are supplied with air and vacuum chambers of large capacity. The fittings are of composition meta] throughout and the piston and valve rods are of bronze. Every measure has been taken in designing these pumps to insure that they will start at a moment's notice at any time after having been idle for a long period, They are the pumps recommended by the Associated Factory Mutual Insur- ing in, while the trade in smaller packages, which' is handled by the dealers, is also. increasing.
