THE FOSDICK HEAVY DUTY UPRIGHTDRILL The Fosdick Machine Tool Company, Cincinnati, Ohio,have added to their line a new design of upright drillingand tapping machine. In general appearance the machine is. Variable Speed Motor Driven Machine with Compound Table Similar to tlie average modern upright drill, but the charac-teristics are entirely different. The gearing arrangements,frictions, feeds, quick return, etc., are similar in detail to 617 618 RAILWAY MECHANICAL ENGINIiER Vol. 93, No. 10 the corresponding parts wliich are being used un Fosdickheavy duty radial drills. The illustrations show the regular constant speed beltdriven machine with round table, and the variable speedmotor driven machine with comjjound table with micrometerdial adjustments and the vertical milling support. Thesehave a capacity of 25 in. diameter of work and the weightis about 2,j50 lb., and they are driven by a 7J/.-hp. constantspeed motor. The Ijase of this machine is surrounded by a channeldraining to a large reservoir for drilling compound, and is sodesigned that bolts may be entered from either end of theT-slots. The table arm has an unusually long bearing on the col-umn
