. Railway mechanical engineer . Oliver 16-ln. Production Lathe flow of cutting compound at the cutting point. All workingparts are carefully guarded. Plate Press With Sectional Dies A PLATE PRESS designed for use with sectional dieshas been developed by the Houston, Stanwood &Gamble Co., Cincinnati, Ohio. The machine consists» simple arrangement of cross-beam, connected to rams at. Sectional Dies Produce Accurate, Interchangeable Work each end by bearings, having swivel pins which give the beamflexibility, and allows it to adjust itself to any unevenness ofthe work. The frame consists of heavy uprights, boltedthrough substantial cylinders at the top, and bolted through aheavy reinforced base casting at the bottom. The upper sec-tional dies are placed on the beam of the machine in a sim-ple manner. A bar extended through a hole in each die en-ables it to be lifted by two men and slipped on at the end ofthe beam. It is then moved along to any position whichmay be desired. The lower sectional dies are placed on the bed of the ma-chine and aligned with the upper dies by means of the sidechannels which reinforce the bed. These side channels ex-tend above the heavy base casting for that purpose. The op-erating lever for controlling both working and return strokeis conveniently located and is always within easy reach ofthe operator. The entire upper part of the machine
