A supplement to Ures Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, : containing a clear exposition of their principles and practice. . every thing, is mad6of cast-iron, and weighs from 4 to 5 tons. According to Overman this machine is bothclicap and durable, .ind will squeeze 100 tons of iron per week. Fiff. 363 represents the double squeezer, employed at many English iron works. Thedrawing is taken from a machine at the Dowlais Iron Works, figured in Mr. Truraus other forms are in use. Mff. 364 represents Browns patent bloom-squeezer. Tlie heated ball of puddled ironK, thrown on the top is gradually pressed between the revolving rollers as it descends, andat last emerges at the bottom, where it is t!n-own on to a movable Jacobs ladder, bywhich it is elevated to the rolls. This machine effects a consiilcrable saving of time, willdo the work of 12 or 14 furnaces, and may be constantly going as a feeder to one or two 668 ieo:n. pairs of rolls. There are two distinct forms of this machine ; in the one figured the bloomreceives only two compressions; in another, which is much more eflfective, it is squeezed 863. four times before it leaves the rolls and falls upon the Jacobs ladder. Another form ofsqueezer is shown infff 365. A table a a with a lodge rising up from it to a height of about 2 feet, so as to form anopen box, is firmly imbedded in masonry ; within this is a revolving box, c, of similar char-acter, much smaller than the la?t, and placed eccentrically in regard to it. The ball orbloom I) is placed between the innermost revolving box c and the outer case a a where thespace between them is greatest, and is carried round till it emerges at e, compressed andfit for the rolls. 365 3GG
