GREAT door opens at one end of the
Inland Strip Mili Roli Sliop. A heavy
truck backs in, and its load, a massive roli
from an Inland Cold Strip Mili, is carried
away in the cables of an overhead crane.
A few moments later this roli is resting
in the housings of a precision grinding
machinę, whose grinding wheel of selected
grade lightly passes back and forth across
the surface of the roli. Operating the machinę
is a skilled craftsman especially trained to
judge fine roli finishes by sight, feel and
use of extremely accurate gages.
A
A few minutes pass and lights begin to
reflect on the newly ground roli surface.
Gradually by skillful m anipulation of
machinę and grinding wheel, this massive
roli has become a revolving cylindrical
mirror of steel.
Dozens of these rolls are ground each day
for use in the Inland Cold Rolled Strip Mills.
Extra rolls are always ready for quick
change, to impart the fine surface for which
Inland Cold Rolled Strip and Sheets are
known wherever steel is used.

Fig. 5—A %-inch rivet driven cold through 6 inehes of materiał to fili completely the hole. Note it is not a drive fit, usual rivet clearance w as employed
as m ight be expected from item 1 ,
Table I.
T he rivet driven cold in Fig. 4
com pletely fills th e hole as it would
be alm ost im possible to see its outline of th e rivet except fo r the
ru sty contact surfaces. I t w as from
a series of tests such as these speci­
m ens m ade up fo r th e U nited S tates
arm y engineers th a t the governm ent has adopted and specified
com pression cold riveting fo r m uch
heavy work.
Strengrth Show s in T ests
T h a t this filling of the hole com­
pletely is ch aracteristic of cold
rivetin g is show n by m any te sts
on various size riv ets in thicknesses
of m ateriał up to seven tim es the
d iam eter of the rivet. Fig. 5, for
exam ple, show s a %-inch rivet
driven in m ateriał 6 inehes thick
w ith th e hole filled com pletely from
end to end—an unusual grip. The
blank lines p artially outlining the
riv et a re from scalę m ade on the
rivet d u rin g m an u factu re. In this
illustration, the sm ali black circles
along th e axis of th e riv e t are
screw s set in the sam ple to hołd it
from being knocked ap art. A rivet
of th is ra tio of grip to d iam eter
com pletely filling th e hole w as unknow n until com pression cold riveting w as developed successfully.
P lease note it w as not a drive fit in
the hole.
In a n o th e r test w ith a som ew hat
s h o rte r grip of 4 inehes, hot-driven
rivets had a m axim um enlargem ent
of 1/32-inch rig h t n e a r th e driven
head, w ith no enlarg em en t a t all
in som e cases. Cold-driven rivets
all show ed an enlarg em en t to th e
size of th e rivet holes th ro u g h o u t
the len g th of th e rivet. T ightness
produced by th e countersinking ef­
fect h as been noted in several outstan d in g exam ples. One instance occurred in w hich %-inch riv ets in a
connection on a w a te r ta n k w ere
subjected to fa r m ore th a n they
could stan d and pulled in tw o at
66
the contact surfaces of the plate
w ith a 40-foot head of w ate r behind them . They had been driven
cold and no leaks occurred. I t would
have cost a considerable sum to
have drained the tan k and redriven
a p roperly designed joint. B ut be­
cause th e rivet pieces rem aining in
place w ere absolutely tight, it w as
possible to re p a ir th e ta n k a t lit­
tle expense. The pieces of rivets
a re still tig h t in the holes a fte r
several years.
N o T em p eratu re S hrinkage: W hen
rivets a re driven hot, they are at
a m uch hig h er tem p e ratu re th an
TA B LE
the surrounding metal, so on cool­
ing they contract to assume a di­
am eter less th an the hole, which
th u s cannot be completely filled in
any instance. Also, they will endeavor to sh rink longitudinally. Be­
ing unable to do so, they will
stretch , inducing tension in the
shank and still fu rth e r reducing the
diam eter. W hile these reductions
are slight, they are sufficient to
allow leakage and vibration of the
rivet if the tension on the head is
relieved. See item 10, Table I. Note
th a t p er item 9, this tension will
tend to be relieved with live loads,
vibration or shock.
W ith rivets driven cold, there is
no te m p eratu re shrinkage of the
rivet shanks, therefore no inducing
of excessive strain s on shanks or
heads. T here is no tendency on the
p a rt of the rivet to become loose or
leak under live loads or shock, nor
will severe strain s cause looseness.
T ests have show n th a t the rivet
m ay even be pulled ap art without
causing leaks as the friction in the
tightly filled hole will prevent the
riv et from necking down anywhere
th ro u g h o u t its entire length—provided, of course, th a t the strain
does not enlarge the hole.
The tension in the shank of the
hot-driven rivet is easily shown by
the m anner in which the head may
be snapped off under a few blows
of a m aul. U nder sam e conditions,
1—Theory of Upsetting and Riveting
1—A piece of metal w ill be upset under
pressure only as far as the
pressure is transmitted through it.
2 The area of the upset portion w ill be the total pressure divided by the
flow pressure per sąuare inch for the metal, unless the flow is restricted.
3 Restriction effect is very considerable as caused by the resistance
to the flow of the metal across the surface of the pieces exerting the
pressure, and is m aterially affected by the distance between these sur­
faces. Also an y restraining shape of these surfaces inereases the apparent flow pressure greatly.
4—The pressure that w ill be transmitted through a metal is directly proportional to the internal resistance to flow of the metal. This is true only
of elastic m aterials.
5—Elasticity is necessary for the transmission of pressure.
6—Pressure w ill be lost in proportion to the exterior resistance to flow, i.e.,
friction.
7—Plastic m aterials can transmit pressure for but a certain distance when
unconfined, which distance is inversely proportional to the plasticity of
the m ateriał. The pressure tapers off to zero at this point.
8—The deformation of Steel under pressure within the elastic limit will
lessen proportionally to the decreasing pressure.
9—Excessive or over strains in steel w ill tend to reduce with vibration or
shock b y normalization, accompanied by deformation.
10—When steel is heated it expands and when cooled it contracts.
11—The lia b ility of steel to fibrę damage and cracking when cold worked
inereases with hardness.
12—The more uniform the steel is, the more uniform w ill be the results of
cold working or upsetting.
13—Annealing makes steel more uniform and inereases its ductility.
14—W ithin
limits cold working inereases the strength of steel without loss
of its good ąualities.
15—Excessive cold working of steel damages the fibrę and lowers the ąuality
and strength and safety of it.

Fig. 6—A compression riveter driving cold rivets in a roller dam section for the
United States goyernment, at plant of Dravo Corp., Pittsburgh
a cold-driven rivet head will not
snap off; in fact it m ust be chiseled
off.
T ests to determ ine the shock re­
sistance of cold-driven rivets were
m ade by determ ining the number
of blows w ith a heavy maul neces­
sa ry to knock off the rivet heads.
Eleven rivets w ere driven through
fo u r bars of steel 6 inches wide,
%-inch thick and 3 feet 8 inches
long. Table II shows test of four
rivets as well as the average fig­
ures fo r all eleven. Note the many
m ore blows th a t w ere necessary to
knock off the cold-driven rivet
heads.
G reater P erm an en t Strength: Be­
cause a cold-driven rivet can be
m ade to fili the hole completely,
producing a good friction grip on
the sides of the hole, and because
a certain am ount of counter sink­
ing is produced in the surrounding
m etal n e ar the head, there is good
reason to expect th a t the strength
of the cold-driven rivet would exceed th a t of a hot-driven rivet. Ac­
tual tests reveal this to be true.
In a setup fo r testing tensile
stre n g th of rivets, crossed test
pieces, r i v e t e d together, were
pushed a p a rt by two yokes. Table
III presents resu lts of tests that
show cold-driven rivets have a uniform ly higher ultim ate strength
th an hot-driven rivets.
Note annealed rivets give slightly
low er ultim ate stren g th than those
not annealed. However, experience
and tests have shown annealed rivets give a m ore uniform value
w hen driven cold. Too, they are not
as subject to fiber dam age or crack­
ing, p er item s 11 and 12, Table I.
In fact, th ey are strengthened by
the pro p er am ount of cold work­
ing during driving.
It also tak es g re a te r pressure to
drive rivets not annealed. Cold
w orking to the extent done in com­
pression driving a cold rivet prop­
erly im proves the steel in the same
m an n er as cold draw ing improves
the stre n g th of bars.
It is possible to design a joint to
show an a p p aren t g rea ter strength
w hen driven hot, due to shrinkage
of the rivets in cooling. However,
this ap p aren t high stren g th can not
be relied upon as it is only tempor­
ary, sińce the excessive tension induced in the riv et in cooling will
ąuickly be relieved in service by
norm alizing action of live loads and
vibration. W ith a cold-driven rivet,
th ere is no tension beyond th at allowable, and this tension is always
m aintained.

■ Say Fellers:
Dropped over in the hot strip mil!
one day last week to see how the fel­
lers were comin’ with the installation
of some new equipment we’ve been
puttin’ in. As I was struttin’ 'cross
the yard down past the open-hearth
shop I caught up with a feller by the
name of Doc Barren, one of the field
men for the rollin’ mili manufacturers
doin’ the job for us, ’n as we walked
along chinin’ with one another an air­
plane zoomed overhead.
“That guy sure’s goin’ places with
’is flying machinę, Doc,” I sez.
“Sure is,” he responded. “But we’re
all flyin’ pretty high right now, I
reckon. ’N we’ll probably be doin’
it ’till Uncle Sam sez, ‘Boys, we’ve
gotta sweeten up the kitty so as to
get more boats bobbin’ up ’n down
on the waves ’n so chip in an extra
dime or so, will ya?’ Yeh, we’ll all
be sayin’ ‘Uncle’ some of these days
when we step up to the ol’ tax window.”
Mills Going: Good Pace
“Sure we will. But don’t take er
so hard, Doc. The mills are workin’
like blue blazes . .
“That’s what I’m sayin, Shorty.
We’re livin’ in a cockeyed world ’n
we’ve gotta ’gree that we’ve made
er a clattering workshop. The busy
wheels on the Street ’n on the factory
floor are turnin’ with a deafening
whirl ’n roar, ’n the rattle of the ham­
mer in the shipyard ’n forge shop, ’n
the tumult of the shriekin’ steam and
belchin’ engines such as that one pushin’ that drag of loaded chargin’ boxes
into the open-hearth buildin’ over yonder—all confess that wc’rc livin’ in a
busy beehive of activity.”
Mebbc it’s a good thing for us,
Doc. For instance, look what they’re
doin ’cross the water. One of your
men the other day was tellin’ me 'bout
the trouble he had settin’ up a mili
over in Scotland a few months ago.
Nothin to complain 'bout gettin’ the
bloomin mili housin’s off the boat
but when it came to gettin’ ’em from
the dock to the plant site—well that
was a different story. He told me the
railroads weren’t handy for doin’
the trick cuz the housin’s weighed
round 6 0 tons. So they had to haul
em from the wharf to the plant on
auto trucks. ’N did they have funl
The trucks got stuck on some of the
sharp turns n when they’d come to a
good steep grade, they’d get up a ways
o then chug to a stop. After huffin’
n puffin’ for many a day, they finally
got those 6 o-ton babies restin’ on their
shoes and it wasn’t many moons 'fore
those Scotchmen were pullin’ the whisM arch 17, 1941

tle for heated slabs to feed into the
rolls.”
“D on’t get me wrong, Shorty. Fm
not pannin’ the country we’re livin’
in. I’m jus’ sayin’ we’ve got steam
up on all the boilers, we’ve got the
throttle wide open at every steelmakin’
plant, ’n thousands of men with their
dinner pails tucked under their arms
pass in and out of clock houses turn
after turn. There’s goin’ to come a
time when you fellers are goin’ to pay
more 'tention to maintenance. That’s
what Fm drivin’ at.”
“Fact of the matter is, Doc, we’re
givin’ more thought to it right now
than for many a day. Our maintenance
gangs are on top of the job ’n so much
so that we haven’t had a breakdown
of any consequence for months. Y’
understand, Fm not tryin’ to blow
the trumpet; Fm jus’ sayin’ the fellers
doin’ maintenance work are on their
toes.”
Gets Under Skin
“Jus' reminds me. Our man who
is settin’ up your new mills—the same
guy w'ho told y’ ’bout Scotchmen haulin’ the blooming mili housin’s over
the hills—made a statement the other
day that got me. He said that main­
tenance costs on a wide strip mili over
there were runnin’ somethin’ like $2.50
a ton. Can’t hardly believe it, but
that’s what he sez, ’n he ought to
know what he’s talkin’ ’bout for he
was on the job long enough 'cross the
"water.”
“Boy, if we had maintenance costs
like that on our mili, the Boss would
be on our necks like a ton of brick.
’N I don’t mean mebbe. Why, say—
when the Boss gets the cost sheet each
month and sees the maintenance cost
on the big strip mili hittin’ over 30
cents a ton, he’s on the phone fore
y’ know it, wantin’ to know vvhat’s
the matter. But $2 .5 0 for maintenance.
There must be somethin’ wrong, Doc.
j
There’s a screw loose somewhere.”
“No, Shorty, the figger of $ 2 .5 0 is
okay. Y’ see, it’s not a ąuestion of ma­
chines over there; it’s a cjuestion of
men. For instance, when it comes to
changin’ an oil fittin’ on one of the
bot mili stands, it takes three men to
do the job.”
Tell ’er to the Boss
“Say, Doc. ’Fore you go out the
gate this afternoon, stop in the Boss’

cast 'is peepers on that figger at the
end of the month, will ya?”
“Sure as Fd do that, Shorty, he’d
think you guys with a figger of 3 0
cents should be sunin’ yourselves down
in Florida. Naw, can’t think of it. Tell
’im yourself. But I also understand that
the mili 'cross the pond only works
a couple of turns out of 2 4 hours cuz
of bombs from Heinie’s airplanes.
They used to shut the mili down every
time they thought the fireworks would
start ’n it would take 'em three hours
to get the steel into the rolls when it
came time to start up again. So they
decided to fool Heinie’s high flyers,
’n now the mili works up ’till midnight
’n then goes down until 7 a. m.”
“Not a bad idea, Doc. Tell that to
the boss on your way out along with the
maintenance figger, willya?
Mebbe
he’ll give us a turn off.”

H E R E promises to he a lot of m idnight oil burned
in the next few m onths. T h e pressure is definitely
on. Much of this overtim e work probably can ’t be
avoided. B ut, whenever your production problem s
involve the use of steel, we believe we can help vou
tu rn those office lights out ju st a little earlier.
T
As a step in this direction we offeryou more efficient
steels— U -S -S Controlled Steels. In these plain carbon
steels, fine or coarse grain, forging and m achining
properties, response to heat treatm en t, ductility, etc.,
are m aintained uniform ly in shipm ent after shipm ent.
Thus your tool set-ups, heat treatin g and forging pro­
cedures, once established, recjuire m inim um change.
Fabrication headaches can be reduced, production
schedules m aintained more uniformly. T h a t’s one way
to avoid having to keep nightw atchm an hours.
To help you use these steels most efficiently, we
have available a corps of industrial “ trouble shooters,”
steel engineers and m etallurgists who will work shoulder to shoulder with }rou in adapting these steels to
your special reąuirem ents with the least trouble, w aste
and delay.
Behind them are the facilities of the m ost completely equipped steel research laboratories and the
finest and largest steel m aking plants in Am erica. If
you are being asked to speed up your production or
are anxiouslv studying new and unfam iliar
blue prints, give us a chance to help you.
We welcome the opportunity.

0 CONSIDERABLE w ork has been
done on the effect of analysis of
w ire on galvanized ąuality, and it
has been found th a t u nder the sam e
conditions of galvanizing th a t the
base m etal is all im portant. The
base m etal should also have in it­
self a m axim um of corrosion re ­
sistance. It has been dem onsti’ated
th a t the presence of copper in steel
in specified am ounts of 0.20 to 0.30
p er cent reg u larly know n as “copper-bearing steel” adds m aterially
to the corrosion resistance of steel.
The ąu ality of galyanizing is determ ined by th ree facto rs: nam ely, adherence, uniform ity and thickness
or ąu an tity , and a fo u rth m ay be
added, w hich is appearance.
Cites Im p o rta n t P ro p e rty
Let us now consider the basis of
these factors. A dherence is im por­
ta n t because if the adherence is not
good an y deform ation of th e m a ­
teriał causes a cracking or peeling
of the zinc, and th u s exposure of
the base m etal and com plete loss of
the value of th e zinc. T his is p a r­
ticularly im p o rtan t in a w rapped or
tw isted w ire fence; th e protection
of the zinc is no b etter th an the
protection a t th e point of tw ist or
w rap. O th er facto rs contributory
to adherence of coating m ay be the
ą u ality of th e zinc used and the
am ount applied. The m ore pure
the zinc, the g re a te r its ductility
and hence th e less its possibility of
cracking.
However, th e g re a te r
th e thickness, th e g re a te r th e possibility of cracking, reg ard less of
the zinc ąuality.
This, then, is a fa c to r to be noted
in p u rch ase of fence, especially
hinge jo in t or w rapped fence. Does
the zinc peel a t the w rap s?
The o th er im p o rtan t p ro p erty of
a fence is th e am o u n t of zinc uniform ly distrib u ted on the w ire.

Q uality of galvanized coating on fence wire is determined
b y such factors as adherence, uniformity, thickness and a p ­
pearance. The im portance of these factors as well as some
of the things that should be considered in buying galvanized
fencing are cited in the accom panying treatise

extensive tests have been conducted by the A m erican Society of T est­

In th e tests, steel flats and steel

tre a te d fo r th e purpose of m achin­
ing off successive layers from the
carburized su rface to determ ine th e

th ro u g h th e case. The carbon-chro­
m ium steel specim ens contained 0.47
per cent carbon, 0.80 p e r cent m an­
ganese and 1 .0 p er cent chrom ium .
The nickel-chrom ium steel sam ples
contained 0.415 p er cent carbon, 0.75
per cent m anganese, 1.3 p e r cent
nickel, 0.71 p er cent chrom ium .
To obtain a com parison of the
effect of nitrogen on case hardness,
bath s w ere used w hich introduced
considerable ą u a n titie s of nitrogen
besides carbon.
T hese b ath s in ­

2 per cent sodium carbonate and 12

the chips.
R esults showed generally a high
value of nitrogen in the first 0.004inch below the surface. Likew ise
th ere is a definite tendency fo r a

the su rface cut. Of course one of
th e reasons fo r the relatively slow
diffusion of these elem ents w as the

This is accounted for by grain size

steel to be a fine grained type. The

am ount of austenite was retained
in the sodium cyanide treated sam­
ples. A thin cem entite skin was
form ed on all sam ples except those

The occurrence of the cementite

fusion of carbon from the surface

is in accordance w ith the fact that
low carburizing tem peratures re­

rate.
Carbon Checks Incom plete
Theoretical carbon content of pure

surfaces w ere noted on the samples,
indicating actual surface carbon
content from 4.5 to 6 per cent. Car­
bon checks ru n on successive cuts

diam eter rounds give an incomplete
picture of carbon diffusion and only
indicate in a qualitative m anner the
relative degree of carbon penetration. A sim ilar condition exists as

effect of the high nitrogen intro­

flame-cut and wrelded parts.
S e m i- A u t o m a t ic cutting can be
done by using easily fabricated
templets which guide the blowpipe.
The operator can also “hand tracę”
direct from a drawing.
D e s ig n C h a n g e s can be made
quickly, without loss of time or
money for new dies, molds, or pat­
terns. Change-overs 011 flame-cut

and how Linde can help you use it!
O p e r a t o r s of flame-cutting ma­
chines can be trained to <lo good
work in a short time. The investment for equipm ent is moderate.
The Linde organization can supply you with smali portable
or large stationary flame-cutting machines. You can also ob­
tain from Linde—oxygen, acetylene, carbide, and other essen­
tial materials for using flame-cutting, with the assurance of
dependable, uninterrupted delireries.
L e s s D e p e n d e n c e on outside
sources of supply for fabricated
parts is made possible by ability to
make what you need as you need it.
O lie -O f-a -K in d production for re­
placement or new-model development work is economically practical
witli flame-cutting, and is usually
much faster than by other methods.
Even more important, Linde has the process ability and the
organization to supply on-the-job assistance which will contribute to the technical skill and training of your operatora.
If vou want to know more about how Linde can help you
use Hame-cutting or ot ber oxy-acetylene processes, ask Linde.
P a rts I i w e n t o r i e s can be held
down, because almost any parts can
be produced immediately as needed
from stock steel.

W ith th e recent exam ple of L eipsic so fresh before

■j"HERE'S no time now in the tool
engineer's day for details such as
tool sharpening. But near you there is
a Norton engineer ready to tackle the
grinding jobs.
H ig h Speed
S te e l T o o l s —
For grinding high speed too! steels and
similar alloys the Norton ensineer will
recommend the special "B-E" bond and one
of the Norton fused alumina abrasives—
Alundum, 19 Alundum, 38 Alundum or
57 Alundum. Grain, grade and structure
selection will depend on the details of each
job.
C e m e n te d C a rb id e
T o o ls —
For off-hand grinding of single point cemented
Carbide tools he will recommend the Norton
deyeloped metal bonded diamond wheel—
strong, heat>resistant and extremely long
lived. For tool and cutter grinding of multiblade Carbide tools it will be the fast cutting
resinoid bonded diamond wheel.
S to c k C u ttin g
a n d T o o l S a lv a g e —
Cutting stock for making tools and dies,
cutting broken tools for repointing, cutting
chip breakers—if fast cutting action and
long wheel life are most important he'll
specify a resinoid wheel. But if a soft, free
grinding action and minimum discoloration
are essential it will probably be shellac bond.
D ie F in is h in g
For the countless finishing jobs on dies,
molds and tools he has nearly 200 standard
sizes and shapes in the Norton fine to select
from—fast cutting 38 Alundum wheels and
points with spindles of stainless steel.
Take advantage of this Norton Service—
let it work for you these busy days.

ENDWELDUR Sling Chain lasts longer and
provides an extra margin of safety. The reason
is that ENDWELDUR links, WELDED AT
THE END, sturdily resist bending, gouging,
extreme temperatures and moderate impact
loads. A ll of this adds up to “ 4 to 1 Longer
Chain Life in Tough Service.”
C hains, F iitings, A ttach m en is
for e v e r y p u rp o se
As a chain is no stronger than its weakest link
—or fitting or attachment—we make our
chain accessories of the same metals and with
the same care as our chains.
Because the American Chain line of welded
chains, weldless chains and flttings is the most
complete in the world, ACCO engineers can
and do recommend without bias—and with
fuli confidence. Fo r every chain, every fit.ting
has been “ given the works” in our laboratory
and field tests and in customers’ service.
Free B ooklei on S lin g Chain
answers your sling chain questions, tells about
the use and care of all types of sling chains.

situations without charge or obligation.

r HE importance of seleeting the R ig h t lathe for every
shop need is emphasized today by the demand for inreased produetion resulting from our national emergency.
Iaximum produetion at m inimum cost can be attained
nly when the lathe is m atched perfectly wi tli the job.
South Bend Lathes are made in a variety of sizes and
types that will efficiently handle a wide rangę of metal work­
ing reąuirem ents. They can be supplied with eguipm ent for
precision tool room work, manufacturing operations, generał
machinę work, and for many special classes of seryice.
onsider the work to be done, then choose the size and
-Pe of lathe that will give the most efficient service. Relember that versatility and precision are im portant in a
Jol room lathe. For m anufacturing operations, a lathe
'ust also haye plenty of power, speed, and stamina.
Consult our Engineering Departm ent about the lathe best
suited to your work. We do 110 special tooling, make no spe­
cial machines, but we will gladly give you our recommendation. A copy of our new Catalog No. 100A describing all
sizes and types of South Bend Lathes will be sent 011 recjuest.

tures fo r its basie design th e Landmaco th re a d in g m achinę w ith a collapsible ta p su b stitu ted fo r th e usual
die head. A special w ork holding
device provides th e rig id and con­
stan t sup p o rt fo r th e p a rts to be
tapped. Of th e ALT type, th e tap is
designed p rim arily fo r cu ttin g
straig h t th read s. M eans a re provided in th e special trip rin g of th e
tap to direct th e flow of cu ttin g
coolant w ithin th e bore of th e w ork
to assure a co n stan t and an am ple
supply th ro u g h o u t th e ta p p in g operation. The special w ork holding device is m ounted directly on th e carriage of th e m achinę. I t com prises
bushing to su p p o rt th e nose end of
the shell and e ith e r a m ałe or
female r e a r cen terin g bushing, depending upon th e type of p a r t to be
threaded. This not only su p p o rts th e
base end of th e shell but also provides the clam ping action fo r supporting th e w ork in th e fixture. The
rear centering bushing is m ounted
on a slide in direct co n tact w ith a
lever operated cam em ployed to advance the bushing and w hich also
provides th e m eans fo r locking th e
work in th e fixture. A p ressu re
spring re tu rn s th e bushing releasing the w ork w hen th e o p erato r
releases th e cam. This u n it is adjustable fo r w o rk of different
lengths w ithin th e ra n g ę of 60 and
81 m illim eter m o rta r shell of th e
high explosive type, and also is suitable fo r th e 3-inch B ritish m o rta r
type shell. T he ta p p e r is one of th e
lead screw type. I t is m ade piim arily in the double spindle m odel sińce
one operato r can o p erate efficiently
both die heads and practically
double the production.
plete accessory eąuipm ent is available. Included in this eąuipm ent
a re aj, groove grinding device for
form ing chip control grooves in cem ented carbide tips, a production

a tip cu ttin g attachm ent fo r resizing and salvaging Carbide tips and
a drill grinding attachm ent which
handling the work, it is eąuipped
w ith an ex tra heavy carriag e and
platen. The carriag e is designed
w ith 3-point bearings to w ithstand
heavy duty service. The platen is
20 inches wide w ith a T-slot conveniently located a t the fro n t edge
to facilitate clam ping the work. The
grinder is available in sizes of 48,
60, 76 and 84 inches.

R ig h t and left-hand tools are ground
w ith eąual facility by having a
1 0 -degree convex angle on the face
of th e g rinding wheels and diamond
m etal laps. The slight concavity
form ed on the ground face facilita te s th e lapping of the sm ali lands
on th e cu ttin g edges of carbide tips.
A specially designed brazing fixture

a co-operated th e rm a l and m agnetic

trip s by m u tu al operation of the bim etallic and the m agnetic elements.
A utom atic tripping takes place
w hen the trip latch ( 9 ) holding the
trip p in g cradle (3) in its normal
position is unlatched. W hen this
happens, the cradle (3) swings upw ard to the rig h t, displacing the

contact opening. The trip latch (9)
is noi'm ally in the latched position.
The sp rin g (10) tends to unlatch it
by pulling on the m agnetic trip

In a te st to show th e effect of

cold-driven riv ets and o n e ' h ea d o f
each g ro u n d o ff flu s h w ith th e plate
gave a value of 34,200 pounds per
sąu are inch w hen tested in shear.
On an o th e r test, a lap jo in t w ith

T ests Tell th e S to ry : In sim ilar
tests on cold and hot-driven riv ets
in m ultiple-riveted joints, th e coldriveted jo in ts show ed an increase
in stre n g th of 94 p er cent from the
standpoint of slip and failu re of
the joint by distortion. T he finał
slip was 3/32-inch m ore in th e hotriveted joint. T h ere w as evidently
no slip of th e cold-riveted jo in t u n ­
til the riv ets sta rte d to sh ear, so
the frictional value of a jo in t does
not e n t e r into calculating th e
strength of a cold-driven joint, th u s
elim inating a hard-to-determ ine variable. T his sam e series of te sts substantiated th e conclusion th a t a
properly driven cold-riveted joint
has a yield stre n g th which is a
very high percentage of its ulti­
m ate stren g th . The cold-driven joint
show s a 1 2 p er cent hig h er ulti­
m ate stre n g th th an the hot-driven
joint.
I t is in terestin g to note th a t in
these m ultiple tests, the actual ul­
tim ate stre n g th of the cold-riveted
joint of 80,800 pounds w as but 600
pounds different from the figured
ultim ate stre n g th of 81,403 pounds
w hich w as derived from the shear
stre n g th of a single rivet in a previous test. T hus there is little doubt
th a t all the rivets w ere giving fuli
sh ea r value to th e joint. T his is be­
cause they fili the hole completely.
I t is an in terestin g fact th a t the
original specification for the riv et
rod as to ultim ate stre n g th has lit­
tle to do w ith the finał u ltim ate
stren g th of the cold-driven rivet.
A cold-driven riv et m ade from a
45,000-55,000-pound tensile rod will

O ften it is necessary to p u t a
threaded bolt in every other rivet
hole and to tig h ten these bolts un­
der heavy pressure. This bolting is
not necessary w hen cold driving.
In stru c tu ra l work, only one-half to
tw o-thirds th e num ber of bolts usu­
ally necessary is ąuite adeąuate
fo r cold driving. In plate work, only
one-sixth to one-half the num ber of
bolts need be used. Also, ąuick acting key bolts m ay be used to advantage.
A space from % to 3/16-inch does
no h arm w hen driving larger size
rivets cold. In fact, it tends to make
b e tte r w ork as th a t m uch rivet is
in the hole w here it eventually m ust
go d u rin g upsetting.
M any A dvantages: Also facilitating the w ork is the fact th at as
m any rivets as convenient can be
placed ahead of the driver. In fact,
all riv ets in a jo in t or in a piece
m ay be placed ahead of driving if
desired. No longer is it necessary
to redrive rivets a num ber of times
to get a tig h t joint. One ąuick op­
eration drives as tig h t a rivet as
is possible.
The econom ies of cold driving are
p articu larly noticeable on work
such as la rg e g u sset plates, in which
it is alm ost im possible to drive 1 00
per cent tig h t rivets when driving
them hot, even w ith m uch bolting
up and redriving. W hen driven cold,
the rivets are all tig h t w ith much
less fitting up and w ith the first
stro k e of the riveter. The only thing
n ecessary is th a t th e holes be ac­
cu rately in line. A few bolts and a
couple of barrel pins are better than
a larg e n u m b er of bolts.
Fig. 6 show s a com pression rive te r cold driving rivets in a roller
dam section fo r th e United States
governm ent a t th e plant of the
D ravo Corp., P ittsb u rg h . Some trouble w as encountered in getting part
of this w ork tig h t w hen hot-driven
riv ets w ere used, b u t no trouble
w h atev er w as had w ith the ones
driven cold, although few er bolts
w ere used.
W ith exceptionally long grips of
five to seven tim es the diam eter of
the rivet, nothing m uch is to be
done w ith hot driving but to take
exceptional care and tim e in driving to prevent riv ets from being
bent. As anyone know s who has
tried it, th is is not very successful
in producing good rivets, even
though they ap p ear satisfactory
fro m the outside. Practically all
who have tak en the trouble to cut
sections of such rivets and examine
them adm it m uch is to be desired.
W ith cold-driven rivets, bending can
be prevented and perfectly filled
holes like th a t in Fig. 5 can be ob­
tained,

heavy open wood crates constructed
of thick w hite pine boards 1 x 3
inehes and 1 x 4 inehes, as seen in
Fig. 2.
The c ra te had one diagonal re in ­
forcing board and obtained its diag­
onal stre n g th m ainly from th ree
nails in tria n g u la r shape. Being
open, these skeleton crates did not
protect th e e x te rio r finish of the
rangę. T his design w as used from
1914 u n til 1931.
C rating 1931 to 1935: Then in
1931 the ran g ę w as bolted to the
base of th e crate a t th e corners,
and a se m itra n sp a re n t p ap er bag
placed over th e ra n g ę inside th e
crate.
At th is time, how ever, th e ran g ę
was finished in porcelain enam el
with certain p a rts painted. By adding a diagonal to each of th e fo u r
sides, it w as found possible to reduce th e sixe of th e lum ber. This
led to an over-all reduction of 15
per cent in b oard footage reąu ired
for crating.
C rate Enclosed in 1935: The
paper bag w as not m o istu re proof
and freąu en tly w as torn, w ith the
result th a t ra n g ę a rriv ed d irty so
enclosed crates fo r ran g es w ere introduced in 1935. T hese k ept the
product clean and bright. T he ran g ę
was still bolted to th e bottom of
the crate.
“Floated” in 1936: F lo atin g pack­
ing w as introduced in 1936 and is
used today. F lo atin g packing really
was a re su lt of th e p opularity of
porcelain enam el as an over-all
finish. W ith th e porcelain enam el
rangę, a new m ethod of packing
had to be devised th a t w ould keep
the rang ę sta tio n a ry in th e package, yet would not w rench or tw ist
the rangę in handling. T his dictated the end of bolting th e ran g ę
to the crate. F lo atin g th e ran g ę
means having it free to m ove w ithin
the crate, not bolting it to the bot­
tom.

ran g ę afford a cushion fo r shocks
and hołd th e ran g ę in place. Figs.
5, 6 and 7 show various designs of
th e fuli floating package.
Since th e introduction of floating
packing, g re a t strides have been
m ade in reducing the cost of the in­
side packing m aterials and the Con­
ta in e r by following our definite
p ro g ram of laboratory tests, tra n s­
portatio n tests and assem bly experience.
A t first, the enclosed crate had
0 .1 2 0 -inch fiberboard panels and 1 x
2 -inch wood fram e w ith six cleats
on both th e top fro n t and back
panels.
O ur la te s t developm ent is a crate
of
sim ilar
stre n g th w hich has
thick fiberboard panels
w ith a special vertical g rain cleat
1 13/32 inehes wide and w ith only
five cleats on top, fro n t and back
panels.
This change saves about 22 cents
on each crate—a w orthw hile economy.
Does all of this rea lly pay fo r
itself? O ur packing engineering has
g re a tly reduced our over-all cost
by cutting th e num ber of dam aged
products received in the field. In ad ­
dition it has m ade it possible to
slash our packing costs som e $8 6 ,400 per y ea r w hen com pared w ith
cost of th e design used in 1937.

each group and hence is not de­
pendent upon m ethod of galvanizing.
The th ird is th a t the atm ospheric
corrosion loss does not follow th e
Preece te st im m ersion and hence
this te st is not a te s t fo r life of a
galvanized article.
Since these fa c ts a re self-evident,
only one conclusion can be di’aw n
and th a t is th a t life of th e protective coat of zinc is proportional
to the actu al w eight of eąu ally dis­
tributed zinc.
This, then, affects the life as follows: T he A.S.T.M. specifications
list three classes of galvanized wire.
The first h as a m inim um of 0.030
ounces of zinc p er s ą u a re foot; the
second, 0.50; and th e third, 0.80.
These classes th en w ould fu rn ish
zinc protection fo r th e base m etal
wire in a fa rm in g area, such as
State College, of approxim ately
four years, seven y ears and 1 1
years, respectively, if th e corrosion
data previously given is correct.
P rice In te re s t of Consum er
True, th ere is a difference in the
cost of w ire p u rchased on th e various A.S.T.M. class specifications,
but it is in no m eans com m ensurate
with the life differential. However,
the consum er of fence seldom, if
ever, in ąu ires ab o u t th e ąu ality of
fence he is obtaining, b u t does inąuire about a differential of 5 or 1 0
cents a rod, w hich difference be­
comes infinitesim al w hen applied
to the life differential.
F arm fence is not usually m an u ­
factured on A.S.T.M. specifications
but the fa rm fence consum er can
always a tte m p t to p u rch ase th e
heaviest coated w ire he can obtain
for an eąu al or slightly g re a te r
cost, and th u s know he is obtaining
the m ost fo r his dollar.
The th ird fa c to r is appearance,
and this can also be reąuested.
Like a new toy o r autom obile, the
brightness of the article is desired.
Some fenees ap p e a r b rig h t w hen
purchased, but th e m ethod of appli­
cation of th e zinc w ith its resultant sm ali am o u n t causes th e
fence to lose its b rig h tn ess ąuickly

To sum up th e ą u a n titie s to be

1. Does th e base m etal of th e
fence have th e g re a te st corrosion

2 . Is the base m etal of such composition th a t the zinc adheres sufficiently so th a t norm al distortion of

not cause it to crack and peel?
3. Is th e am ount of zinc on the

Steel mili belong to the past—guesswork costs too
much today. Spoilage—lost time and materiał—
inefficient operation—these things rob a plant of
profits.
Good Steel men no longer depend on a "guess” to
control Combustion Conditions in a furnace, an
open hearth or a soaking p it. I t spoils steel, wastes
fuel—cuts down on profits.
Hays Combustion Instruments have set the standard
for accuracy, dependability and stamina for 38 years.
They are as well known in the Steel mills and power
plants of the country as a monkey wrench. They
can be designed to meet practically any reąuirement
concerning indicating, recording and controlling
of combustion conditions. Hays Engineer-representatives are located in all the principal cities to help

A B O V E: This cast iron forge shop press
frame weighs 5,500 pounds. It was
Anaconda Bronze welded in 35 manhours, using 154 pounds of Bronze.
LEFT: This stamping press for automotive parts is an expensive piece of
eąuipment to have out of operation! 10
man-hours, a few pounds of Anaconda
Bronze, and the fractured cast iron
bearing housing was repaired.
A B O V E RIG H T: A ll twelve spokes broke
on this 84 " main drive cast iron pulley
in a pulp and paper m ili, Four to six
weeks for a new one! Anaconda Bronze
welding had it back on the job in less
than seven working days.
This cast iron oil-engine błock was
headed.for the scrap pile— cracked al­
most entirely around the cylinder. 10
hours after Anaconda Bronze welding
was suggested, the good-as-new casting
was ready for service.

welding proved its merit. 35 hours for
chipping and preheating, 165 pounds

11 hours for welding put this soundly
repaired press frame back in operation.
A broken cast iron valve. Pro­

Of course the answer was
Anaconda Bronze welding!
A Lakes freighter with a cargo of perishable goods

When this 15-ton roli housing broke, two temporary rep
welds with Anaconda Bronze were tried. Working in t
shifts, the welders had the raili back in service in n
days. (P.S. After more than a year, this m ili with its "te

Are You UP-TO-DATE on BRONZE WELDING?
Bronze welds are regularly being m ade
by the oxy-acetylene method in less
than half the time reąu ired to weld with
ferrous rods. So universal h a s the use of
Bronze welding become in recent years
that A naconda Bronze Rods have been
adopted as stan d ard m aterials for oxyacetylene repair a n d construction work
in many fields. These A naconda Prod­
ucts com bine h ig h te n s ile stre n g th ,
toughness, durability, a n d uniform com­
position.
Electric welding of copper alloys by
the metallic arc or carbon a rc h a s also
made tremendous strides. New uses are
continually being developed for Everdur, A naconda Phosphor Bronze, and
Anaconda Copper-Nickel Alloy Rods.
Arc welds m ade with Everdur are ex-
ceptionally dense an d strong and, by
using heavier currents, this m etal can
be laid down faster th an steel.
A naconda Phosphor Bronze Rods are
used to special adv an tag e in the elec­
tric welding of copper an d its alloys,
and for building up worn bearing sur­
faces a n d m achinę parts of steel, espe­

Cleveland — D eliveries still move

cause of scarcity of ra w m aterials.
Chicago—Sheet consum ers a re in­

P a rt of th e p re ssu re is caused by
unusually heavy re ą u ire m en ts ol a u ­

business only fro m re g u la r cus­
tom ers and a re alloting shipm ents
on the basis of p a s t orders and

national defense. Some m an u fac­
tu rers can give 20 to 24 w eek deliveries on hot-rolled, cold-rolled and
galvanized sheets, and 4 to 5 m onths
on strip m ili sizes; som e o th ers can
not do so well.
Boston—Mills producing narrow
cold strip are fre ą u e n tly revising
forw ard delivery schedules, placing
tonnage originally booked fo r sec­
ond ą u a rte r into th ird and advancing some from th e latter, depending on im portance of fabrication in

N arrow cold strip is being booked

ąuently rea d ju ste d to m eet defense

factor in fo rw ard buying.
Philadelphia—Sheet consum ption
is brisk as production in th e automotive and household eąuipm ent
industries continues to be stim ulated indirectly by grow ing defense
actiyities. Mills a re inspecting all

P h il a d e lp h i a — P lates continue in

P ittsb u rg h —Conditions in pig iron

D espite forecasts of a tig h te r situ ­

do not believe a shortage will develop. N um erous beehive ovens are
being prepared fo r operation in case
heavier dem and develops and this
tonnage will probably be am ple to
take care of any inereased blast
furnace needs. T here is an excellent possibility of a sh o rtag e of
foundry coke, however.
Cleveland — Sellers still spend
m ost of th e ir tim e rationing iron
cąuitably and preventing consum ­

Many expect th a t no distinct sccond ą u a rte r prices will be nam ed.
Shipm ents equal the heavy F e b ru ­
ary rate. F oundries are still receiving sufficient iron.
Chicago—A lthough the tim e has
come fo r pig iron sellers to open
books fo r second-ąuarter business,
no action in this direction has been
taken. T here is no serious sh o rtage
of iron. R a th e r it is a problem of
deliveries. Foundries a re well covered, but as they inerease m elt, they
frequently need sm ali lots to balance
stocks. Unless iron dem ands in­
erease beyond presen t expectations,
blast furnaces will be able to tak e
care of needs. Coke situ atio n is
even tig h te r th an iron, w ith ship­
m ents ru n n in g several days behind,
in spite of fuli produetion by byproduct ovens.
Boston — W hile th ere are some

St. L ouis—P ig iron shipm ents

th a t reserves a re accum ulating. As

Meanwhile,

scrap buyers re p o rt th ey are unable

Cleveland — Q uiet still prevails
in iron and steel scrap. Shipm ents

No. 1 heavy m eltin g steel to m ills
are understood to have been m ade at
$20, an increase of 50 cents over the
last know n sale a m onth ago.
Brokers are obliged to pay th is or

Boston—F o u n d ry g rad es of scrap
are stronger, dealers and brokers
being forced to pay 50 cents to $1
higher to b rin g out m ateriał. Steel
works scrap is unchanged fo r both
domestic and ex p o rt and m ills in

New Y ork—F o u n d ry g rad es a re

increase in stove plate. In addition
to the heavy m elt th is reflects the
tight situ atio n in pig iron. Steel­
works scrap prices a re unchanged,
with buying light, m o st shipm ents
being a g a in st co n tracts w ith m a ­

regarding pending d istrict and
grade differentials and consum ers
buy little unless p ressed fo r supply.
Philadelphia — Scrap prices are
strong despite som e u n certain ty
from governm ent effort to set up
stable prices a t fixed differentials.
Several grades have advanced f u r ­
ther, including No. 2 heavy m elting
steel which has sold a t $19, a rise
of 50 cents. D ealers a re also paying $19 to cover orders. C ast scrap
ąuotations a re p a rtly nom inał, w ith
prem ium s offered by som e consum ­

fairly larg e from a ton n ag e standpoint, but lig h t in view of c u rre n t
operations. D ealers expect a sm ali
increase on scrap offerings w ith
better w eather.
Buffalo — T alk of price differen­

sales are rep o rted to confirm prevailing ranges. S teelm ak in g grades
are m oving on th e basis of $ 2 1 to

St. Louis—Iron and steel scrap
show s little change except th a t cast
and m alleable grades are in urgent
demand, scarce and tending up­

advanced 25 cents per ton to $17.75
to $18.25. Otherwise there was no
change in actual ąuotations, though
on some grades, notably railroad
specialties, it is doub.tful if any
sizeable tonnage- could be bought
a t ąuoted prices. The supply con­
tin u es to tighten, and brokers experience some difficulty in obtaining m ateriał to apply on contracts.
M ovem ents to mills is large and
consum ers a re not suffering.
S eattle—Inereasing foundry op­
eratio n s have enlarged the scrap
m ark et. Cast continues scarce and
dealers a re trying to m eet needs
of the navy a n d other defense
agencies and then reg u la r custom ­
ers. F o r this reason no fu rth e r
shipm ents are being m a d e to
Canada. Rolling mills are buying
steel s c r a p in large ąuantities.
P rices are unchanged. Receipts are
slightly la rg e r but tidew ater prices
are not particularly attractive to
shippers in th e interior.
Toronto, Ont.—General conditions
in the scrap m a rk et show s little
change. M achinery cast has brisk

A s s o c ia te d C o m p a n ie s :
and prio rities im m ediately. Governm ent officials continue th e ir efforts
to bring about a reduction in scrap
m etal prices.
Copper — M etals R eserve Co. has
bought 235,000 tons of copper and
is ta k in g over an additional 2 0 ,0 0 0
tons to Ja p a n fo r M arch, April and
May delivery. MRC L atin A m eri­
can copper is m oving to domestic
fabricato rs in a stream th a t m ay exceed 35,000 tons per m onth for the
rem ain d er of th e year.
Lead—Reflecting heavy demand
fo r M exican, P eruv ian and Austra lia n lead, th e M exican refined
lead is now up to 3.12c, f.a.s. Tampico, Mex. Scrap prices are tightening up, b u t th e re is enough fo r­
eign lead available to keep domestic
scrap lead prices from eąualing or
going above the new lead price. It
is no t often th a t buyers have their
fo rw ard needs so well covered. Lead
sellers readily dispose of th e ir intak es daily.
Zinc—P ro d u cers’ operations con­
tinue a t capacity, but o utp u t is still
not enough to satisfy all current
dem and. Leon H enderson’s statem ent th is w eek th a t 7.25c, St. Louis,
price “ap pears ad eąuate fo r the
foreseeable fu tu rę ” is th e first of­
ficial sta te m e n t to th a t effect.
Tin—Sales of S tra its tin this past
week have been substantial, and ali
a t prices above th e 50-cent Metals
R eserve Co.’s top buying price. Con­
su m ers generally m aintain th eir al­
ready su b stan tial tin stocks.
