58 TRADE NOTES. The Newton Machine Tool Works, Inc., Philadelphia, Pa., have put out a new general catalog of their ma-~- 'chine tools. It is noted that the line of machine tools has 'been much am- plified and many of the machines il- lustrated are at present being re-de- signed. The catalog is substantially bound in cloth and every page in it contains an illustration of a different machine tool. This catalog should be in the library of every plant using metal-working machinery. The Marine Iron Co., City, Mich., have recently catalog descriptive of their mining, marine and stationary engines. The catalog is very simply and effectively arranged, the description of the ma- chine being clearly printed under the illustration of it. It is of especial in- terest to vessel owners, 'showing the company's improved steam windlass and marine steam engines. The com- pany has also designed a ship yard jig-mill especially for the saving of - all kinds of ship timber, both for new work and dry dock purposes. The George F. Blake Mfg. Co, 114-118 Liberty street, New York, re- cently issued Bulletin B-808 giving list of parts of Blake pumps. The Knowles Steam Pump Works, 114-118 Liberty street, New York, manufacturer of Knowles pumping machinery, have issued a catalog de- scriptive of their output. This cata- log has the proportions of a book and is a most painstaking work. In addition to descriptive matter illus- trated with fine wash drawings of their machinery, there is incorporated as well useful information on steam and the evaporation of water. Tables are included of the areas of circles and capacities of cylinders in gallons and cubic feet for 1 ft. length; pres- sure of water; capacity of pumps; theoretical thorsepower required to raise water to different heights. The index is complete to the least detail so that all parts of the catalog are instantly accessible. ee. The Crescent Machine Co., Leeto- nia, O., has recently issued a catalog descriptive of its 'band saw machines, band saw blades, saw tables and joint- ers. Included in the catalog are four Inc., Bay issued a THE Marine REVIEW machines--the Crescent disc grinder, the Crescent single-spindle shaper, the Crescent swing cut-off saw, and the Crescent surfacer. The catalog is both compact and complete, containing descriptions of each saw with illustrations on the correspond- ing page. The price list is published on tha rear pages, together with the freight rate to all parts of the United States. The Flexible Compound Co., Inc., 3607 Haverford avenue, Philadelphia, have just issued a little circular de- scriptive of their flexible compound. This flexible compound is an oil prod- uct and is neither a paint nor a var- nish. The company represents that it is the only perfect water-proof liquid yet produced and from experiments made with it in Cleveland this claim would appear to be well founded. It provides positive protection against the ravages of moisture, salt air and fumes and when mixed with paints or varnishes imparts its properties to them. It gives the highest insulation on covered wires on electrical work. It is well adapted for tarpaulins and hatch covers, as it prevents decay. It will prevent vulcanized rubber from becoming hard and will restore life to old vulcanized rubber. The agents for the 'compound in Cleveland are J. G. Chadwick & Co, 71 Olivewood street, Lakewood, O., who would be pleased to demonstrate its value to any vessel owner. One of the most beautiful catalogs that has 'been brought to our atten- toll is that of thé A. S. Cameron Steam Pump -Works, foot of East Twenty-third street, New York. This catalog has a very striking cover bear- ing the acorn, the company's ttrade mark, with oak leaves surrounding, the cover being stiff and board-like, grained and colored to represent oak. The opening pages contain photo- graphic reproductions of the diplomas awarded by the Chicago World's Fair, the Pan-American Exposition and the St. Louis Exposition to the Cameron Steam Pump Works. The index, care- fully arranged, occupies a position in new the front part of the book and then follows: the introduction. This catalog is the latest production and supersedes all previous issues. The catalog gives a clear exposition of the various pumps that the company builds and a general description of their design and construction. There is a great deal of pump wisdom in the introduc- tion which, owing 'to its length, it is impossible to reproduce in a brief re- view. Everyone interested is advised to write for the catalog. Much uyse- ful information of interest to pump users is compiled in the rear pages. This catalog represents an outlay of time and money in no inconsiderable sum and is worthy of being in the library of every pump user. Anyone mentioning the MARINE REVIEW may have a copy of this catalog upon re- quest to the company. The Fort Wayne Electric Works, Fort Wayne, Ind. have issued Bul- letins No. 1102 and No. 1103, the first giving ia list of plants operating di- rect 'current direct-connected generat- ors types MP and MPL and the fat- ter descriptive. of Seties A. ©. - ape electric 'lighting system. The bul- letins are accompanied by an index upon a separate sheet. The American & British Mfg. Co, Bridgeport, Conn., 'had an interesting exhibition of their 20 H. P., 40 H. P. and 80 H. P. marine and automarine Herreshoff motors at the motor boat show which was held in the Mechan- ics building, Boston, during the pres- ent week. A feature of their exhibi- tion which attracted great attention was the 80-H. P. engine of the cele- brated racing boat Den, the holder of the American mile, 30 and 150-mile records.
