The Pittsburg Steamship Co., through Pres- ident Harry 'Coulby, has given a contract to the American Ship Building Co. for two bulk freighters to be duplicates of the A. C. Dinkey and Eugene J. Buffington. They will be 600 ft. over all, and 32 ft. deep. This makes 12 600-footers that the Pittsburg Steamship Co. has built in the past four years, and 16 vessels altogether of over 10,000 tons carrying capacity. The steamer William P.

TRANSMISSIONS AND THEIR - -« LUBRICATION. In many plants of our various industries, especially in those of the smaller ones, are found installations that have long outlived their usefulness, or have become out-of-date and have not been rebuilt, partly due to the fear of excessive cost or a possible 'shut'? down. An example of neglect, especially in the smaller or older mills, is in their shafting, the initial installation of which did not permit a large expenditure for the entire development ° and in many instances was planned and erect- ed by inexperienced parties. If the reconstruction should be found too expensive or possibly inexpedient, the manufac-: turer should. adopt a method to at least utilize his power efficiently. In what simpler way : S the selection of an efficient lubricant? Waste is. most' noticeable on line shafting but the usual friction loss would be materially reduced by the use of an efficient lubricant such as Albany Grease, which combines in itself the best lubricating element of the best oil and tallows,.with the tenacity and viscosity to insure the 'lasting and cooling properties without waste. This efficiency in lubrication reduces friction to a minimum, which in turn increases the power transmitted. In many plants the bearings are lubricated with sight feed oilers and barrel after barrel of oil is thoughtlessly put into the , bearings of which at least half is lost, by dripping to the floor or along the Dearing supports, 'the appearance of which is decidedly unclean to Say nothing of the consequent fire risk and expenditure necessaryin the cot i mse of a year for constant attention and attendance. Mr. Brown will retire from active ser-~ preserve. the bearing: When later a hot-box is discovered, which un- der these conditions is unavoidable, the ex- pense may eventually be a heavy one, It might be suggested that the installation of mechanical oiling devices would eliminate 'this annoyance, but they are apt to get out of order and fail at a critical time. The engineer is also here dependent upon the reliability of the oil used. 'He cannot have every barrel of oil examined by a chemist, and even if he is familiar with its analysis he will still be more or less at sea in regard to its' action, as his time is too limited. to "make extensive tests and take the necessary observation himself, It) is' evident "that required is one, the must adjust itself thereby. "have a capacity 'for storing and Carrying away heat, in other words must have the property of keeping a bearing cool. This can only be accomplished with a neutral grease of uniform quality, having compara- tively low melting points, so that it will melt readily and thus lubricate, cool . and Such a: lubricant is found in "Albany Grease,' which: has been on the market and in extensive use for over 40 years, and is claimed to be. the ideal or. perfect: Wnbricant' = eae : The success of Albany Grease, it may be stated, is based upon merit. When properly applied it meets every requirement of the ideal. lubricant and the old saying is 'found to be a true one, i.e. "Grease 'is cheaper than machinery." : e When spindle cups are used the consump- tion is extraordinarily small and the slight changes in its adaptation will be more than paid for within a reasonable time. -- lubricant of which fluidity and the perfect cons'stency with its STEAMSHIP WANTED. | Will purchase steamship capacity four hun- dred to one thousand tons.. Must be practical for Atlantic Coastwise : service. Give price and where can be inspected.' No attention will be "given replies not accompanied with detailed description. MARINE Review, Cleveland, 0.
