72 can be raised or lowered to any suitable height; when the base is fastened, the upper part swivels. A universal arm or section for the stand is furnished, so that if so desired, the face plate may be placed in a horizontal posi- tion at any height from the floor. Quadrants are furnished with the machine for I-in. pipe with a radius of 6 inches, for 1%4-in. pipe with a radius of 9 inches, for 114-in. pipe with a radius of 12 inches, and for 2-in. pipe with a radius of 14 inches. While these four quadrants are furnished with the machine, it is found that the smaller sizes of pipe can be readily bent in the larger size quadrants very satisfactorily. In fact, few workmen will take the time to change the quadrants unless they require a shorter radius than the larger quadrant will give them. The machine is manufactured by Pedrick %& Smith, Church Lane, and P. & R. Railway, German- town, Philadelphia, Pa. JENKINS BROS.' IRON BODY VALVES. About four years ago Jenkins Bros., 71 John street, New York, placed on the market a line of extra heavy brass valves suitable for working pressures up to 300 lb. These valves found instant favor in the hands~ of users of high pressure steam and the company was con- stantly in receipt of letters asking for an iron body valve for the same work. To meet this demand the company now manufacturing extra heavy iron body globe and angle valves, which in its judgment are superior to any JENKINS' BROS. IRON BODY VALVES, valves of their class in the market. These valves are made from 24 to 12 in. inclusive, either screwed or flanged. Realizing their importance, the company has spared no effort to make them representative high pres- sure valves and guarantees them for a working pressure of 250 lbs. The materials used in their construction are of the best quality and the workmanship is unsurpassed. In their design, strength and rigidity have been very carefully considered and they will easily withstand the Tae Marine REVIEW stresses arid strains due to the expansion and contraction of the piping, etc. Before leaving the factory, each valve : is tested with 800 lb. hydraulic pressure. The company can supply the valves from 5 to 12 in. inclusive, with by- pass, which is cast integral with the body. The by-pass of the 12-in. valves is fitted with an iron yoke bolt; below 12 in. the by-passes are fitted with brass bolts which are screwed into the body of the by-pass. All the extra heavy iron body flange valves are fitted with the manufactur- ers' standard extra heavy flanges and the drilling when ordered will be in accordance with the standard, unless otherwise specified. The company advises the use of flanged valves 7 in. and above. MACHINERY UNDER CONSTRUCTION. Kingsford Foundry and Machine. Works, Oswego, N.
