. Blakelee's industrial cyclopedia, a simple practical guide ... A ready reference and reservoir of useful information. More than two hundred illustrations. them together again and bore down, with a three-fourths inchauger, holes in the outside of the drum, two on each side, so as to pin the piecestogether where they were split. Wedge the upper end of the pin, and the drumwill be perfectly solid and strong.
