The Practical mechanic's journal . l-8th a practical remedy for both of these objections, and we have little hesita-tion in stating that it will eventually supersede all the varieties of bellowsapparatus, as well for its power of producing the most intense heat in ashort space of time, as for the conveniences it offers in point of convey-ance from place to place. Our engravings show the forge under its two conditions of arrange-ment. Fig 1 is an isometrical perspective view of it in working trim;and fig. 2 shows it folded together for stowage, a, Is the upright iron Fig. i-ieth. frame, containing the blowing apparatus. B, Is a sheet-iron tray mountedon wheels for shifting; and to this tray the upright frame is attached bya single bolt. The fuel is contained in the long concave pan, c, of cast-iron, bolted to the frame, a, at D; the bolts acting as hinges for foldingup. The opposite end of the pan is supported by two standards, E, whichare simply jointed to it at their upper ends; their feet passing throughround holes in the tray. An adjustable dead-plate, f, is fitted to theinner front of the frame, to prevent the injurious action of the heat uponthe blowing mechanism. A portable hinged hood, G, is also fitted, forreflecting the heat downwards, and for carrying off the smoke. The coldwater trough, H, is hooked upon the end of the fire-pan. The blowingapparatus consists of a small fan placed near the bottom of the frame, A;it is driven by a band from a pulley upon the spindle of the winch-handle, 2P 220 THE PRACTICAL MECHANICS JOURNAL.
