"You are again charged, Bunce, with having sold to Colonel Blundell a coffee-pot and two tin cups, all of which went to pieces the solder melting off at the very sight of the hot water." "Well, lawyer, it stands to reason I can't answer for that.
Bevel off the ends of the last inside to allow the valve to enter easily. Make the valve. Bore the steam ports, and solder valve tube and cylinder together. Solder holding-down wing, W, to cylinder. Finish off the piston. Solder the bearings in their standards. Prepare shaft, crank disc, crank pin, and piston rod.
Next bevel off a piece of tubing to an angle of 45 degrees, cutting off roughly in the first instance and finishing up carefully with a file till the angle is exact. Solder to the end a piece of tin, and cut and file this to the precise shape of the elliptical end. Detach by heating, scribe a line along its longest axis, and attach it by a small countersunk screw to the end of a convenient handle.
The drayman swearing at his horse; the tinman at his solder; the sewing-girl imprecating her tangled thread; the bricklayer cursing at his trowel; the carpenter at his plane; the sailor at the tackling; the merchant at the customer; the customer at the merchant; the printer at the miserable proofsheet; the accountant at the troublesome line of figures; swearing in the cellar and in the loft, before the counter and behind the counter, in the shop and on the street, in low saloon and fashionable bar-room.
But as the lightning is liable to melt the plate at the point where it enters, especially if the metal be tin or zinc, it is well to solder points at the angles. Some, "to make assurance doubly sure," carry the rods over the whole distance quite to the ground in addition. All authorities consider such a system as this to be as complete a defence against lightning as possible.
A truce to this truancy, and method be my maxim: let us for a moment link our reasonings, and solder one stray rivet; man being a writing animal, there still remains the question, what is writing? And what, O what "how poor is he that hath not patience!" shall we predicate of the average viscera of circulating libraries? abominable viscera! isn't that the word, my young Hippocrates?
He answered their inquiries by saying that he could not restrain his joy at feeling himself at home once more. Directly after the start, the Baby was discovered to be leaking. Her long sojourn ashore had subjected her to the malevolent attacks of rust, which had eaten a small hole in her bottom that had been overlooked. How to stop the leak was a serious problem. No solder was obtainable.
He begins to walk dreamily round the place at Easter. At Whitsuntide he brings down an iron vessel containing unmelted solder, and early in July the pump is mended. This mending of the pump is one of the epochs of Hythe, a sure harbinger of the approaching season.
I could not see why he considered this likely ever to be desirable, but I took the description of it which he gave me and promised that I would never let it leave my person. I even allowed him to solder about my neck the chain which held the locket in which he had placed it.
Remove the standards, drill and tap the bed-plate holes, and replace parts as before, taking care that the lubricating holes in the bearings point vertically upwards. Then solder bearings to standards. If any difficulty is experienced in getting all four standards to bed properly, make the bearing holes in the two inner ones a rather easy fit.
