Grease Plant, C. & the foresight characteristicof Quayle, superintendent of motivepower of the Chicago & North-WesternRailway, what may be called a rodgrea?e plant capabe rif s\ipplyinK the uniform temperature of the various in-gredients must be maintained, otherwisethe mass when solidified will present amottled appearance. This temperatureshould not be less than 95, nor more thanI-\t dos?. F. The latter temperature in-. licient to facilitate the movement of tliegrease toward the funnel outlet. A<the grease comes out of the funnelin a cylindrically-shaped stick it passesunder a circular disk provided withpegs. .\s the wheel revolves thesepegs act as circuit breakers and the cut-ter cuts the stick of grease in suitablelengths with either an upward or down-ward stroke. It is then packed in boxesready for shipment. Each engine isprovided with a can to hold a certainquantity of rod grease. This plant at Clinton not only makesthe grease for rod cups, but that usedin driving cellars as well. The dailyoutput of this plant is 2,688 lbs. in 10hours, and two men are employed todo this work. The entire plant is home-made, and the material used is similar tothat which may be found at almost anyshop in the country. The air and greasecylinders are made from locomotivecylinder bushings.
