CHUCK FOR PLANING CROSSHEADS The arrangement shown is a very sub-stantial chuck for holding crossheads forplaning the slides. It consists of a heavycastiron base D which is bolted to the In case it is pounded loose and tendsto turn, it can do so for a short distanceonly, as the filler turns with it and as itturns, it is forced out against the brassby the eccentricity of the groove, so thatthe more it tends to turn, the tighter itbecomes. Even though the engine were tobe reversed and the brass slipped from itstightened position, it instantly becomestightened again by the reversal of themovement of the filler. The arrangement has been used on anumber of locomotives on the VirginianRailroad with great success. PIPE BENDING MACHINE A very
