Such is tlie general practice, but manyshops have their own particular methods,and it would be interesting to hear fromsome of them in regard to the methodsin vogue, although the whole propositionis, in the last analysis, one that dependson doing good work in the machining of plates in order to obtain good full threadson accurate pitch alignment, and thethreading of staybolts to uniform sizesthat will agree with the tapping, and aresulting fit of staybolt in the tapped holethat screws up neatly without loosening. Repairing Broken Lubricator F. W. Bentley, Jr. On the Bulls Eye type of lubricatorthe oil channel coring frequently runswell up into the stud, and a false one ofsufficient size to hold the lubricator can-not l)e safely applied, being screwed into. metal without necessity of a steam tightfit. The attached photograph showshow a false stud can be applied andmade almost a solid part of the lubri-cator body again. The remaining part of tlie old stud iscut off flush with the face of the bossrising from the back of the is then drilled out and the false studscrewed in as shown by means of the oxy-acetylene flame,the boss of the body and the portion Aof the stud are run and welded togethercompletely around the stud. The por-tion of the stud entering the lubricatorin no way interferes with the passage ofoil to the pump, yet gives the weldedparts a strong support in holding theweight of the lubricator. It is inexpen-sively done, and is an excellent methodof repairing breakages of this kind onthe lubricator. 216 RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. July, 1916.
