The bevel gearing is revolved by shafting connected with pulley wheels and belting, the wheels being 3 ft. and 1½ ft. in diameter, and 6 in. broad. The driving engine is placed at one end of the building. Each vat requires from 2½ to 3 horse-power, or in other words, an expenditure of 1 horse-power per ton of ore treated.
Would you advise link belts for high rate of speed? Ans. No; they give better results on slow running machinery. Quest. Have these belts any special advantage over flat leather belting? Ans. Yes, decidedly. When belts are run half crossed, or what is termed quarter turn, it is very hard to make flat belts lie perfectly even on the pulleys. Quest. Why do they give better results when run slow?
If the poorly born drops behind in life's race, society is increasingly ready to set him upon some beast. If some man's brain is spongy, and his mental processes slow, the stronger minds are belting his faculties to their swifter energies.
From this shafting and belting distribute the power in every direction. Another shaft crosses Spruce street, runs through and across Beekman, and even supplies presses in Ann street. Altogether these engines supply over one hundred and twenty-five presses each being estimated and charged so much per horse-power according to this estimate.
The tide was low and he found this was not more than a foot above the timber on which he stood. He could now see the deck light, an electric bulb on the side of the captain's cabin, and it showed him the top of the taffrail some little distance above the level of his eyes. Taking his courage in both hands and stepping upon the belting, he succeeded in grasping the taffrail.
He said he considered it his duty to employ them as he did his own in enterprises that would aid the whole people of the South, instead of sending them to the North to be used in Wall Street as belting for the 'System' grinder.
Some of the young men were hurrying to the corral, belting on their guns as they ran to fetch their horses and join the pursuit. Siwash called them back. "Leave it to him, boys; it's his by rights," he said. Taterleg stood looking after the two riders, the hindmost drawing steadily upon the leader, and stood looking so until they disappeared in the timber at the base of the hills.
When the rope-worker has mastered all the knots, ties, bends, hitches, and splices I have described, he will find a new field open to the use of rope in innumerable ways. In a factory, or machine shop, rope belting will often prove far better than leather, and if well spliced together will run very smoothly and evenly even on long stretches.
He was to maintain the fiction of belting the globe, but admit that he had indulged in a dream of commercial relations for a benefit strictly mutual between neighbors as close as the Spanish and Russians in America.
The steam turbine must, therefore, be essentially a motor of very great initial speed; and the efforts of recent inventors have been wisely directed in the first instance to the object of applying it to those purposes for which machinery could be coupled up to the motor with little, if any, necessity for slowing down the motion through such appliances as belting, toothed wheels, or other forms of intermediate gearing.
