CASE HARDENING George Massar (C, N. O. & T. P., Ludlow, Ky.) :—We havedouble deck furnaces especially designed for our spring workand case hardening. We use cast iron boxes and lids. Thepieces to bo hardened are packed in one of these boxes of asuitable si/e. Pack the box carefully with the article to behardened, so as to allow enough potash when dissolved to coverthe work to be hardened. Cover the edges of the lid with fireclay to make the box as nearly airtight as possible. Allow thebox to remain in the furnace from eight to ten hours at degrees 1. Good results cannot be obtained with a heat.
