. Electrical world. ugh a Renold silent chain to the machine, is guarded bythe steps and platform at the side of the press. The five presses January i6, 1904.

Scarcely dis-tinguishable, behind this row is an equal number of Hoe 2-revoluticinpresses, each of which is driven by a 5-hp old-style bi-polar Crocker-Wheeler motor. One of a line of machines of a larger size that deserves specialmention is a flat-bed, 2-revolution Meihle press, shown in Fig. 3A-This one is also chain-driven from a Crocker-Wheeler motor, in thi-. five Huber presses with 42 x 52-inch beds driven by 5-hp. Crocker-Wheeler bi-polar motors, and two R. Hoe & Company preses drivenby motors of the same size and style. These are a few of the pioneerswhich cling to the gear drive, a method which has its objectionclearly indicated in the large-sized gear on the press. Now-a-days aslow-speed wnulfi be used to remove this objection, it is. FIG. 35.—A LINE OF case, of 754-hp. The press has associated with it an automatic paperfeeder, built by E. C. Fuller Company, of New York, which is geared-driven by a l-hp bi-polar Crocker-Wheeler motor. Both of the^emotors are located in out-of-the-way positions, and practically addnothing to the space required by the machine proper. In Fig. 35 a line of 12 presses are shown, the nearer ones beingfive of Whitlock make with 37 x 52-inch beds and direct-gear drivefrom 3-hp. Crocker-Wheeler bi-polar motors.
