The spring rack shown inFig. 9 is made from 1 in. by 3 in. fiat iron and needs no specialdescription. The air motor shown in Fig. 10 has a saw formetallic packing on one end and the other will hold a drill socketfor drilling staybolts, or it may be used for buffing. The centerpart of this air motor was made from an old side rod bushing,bored eccentric and fitted with slots in which are set four blades]4 in. by 2 in. by 4 in.; the feed is through 1J4 in- pipe cut down.

The plates shown in Fig. 11 are for making metallic were made from second hand balance plates, and if care istaken in the molding, the packing does not require turning afterit is made. Fig. 12 shows an iron storage rack which can alsobe used for tubes or piping. This is made from old rails heldin place liy -Kt in. bolts and iron pipe. The upper portion withthe doors is for storing brass castings or other valuable material. Fig. 13 shows an air hoist and crane which can be made verycheaply. The center pillar is made from a 6 in. piece of pipeand the side supports are small sized rails. The 6 in. pipe isscrewed into a Iiroken steam chest cover imbedded in concreteand the counterbalance is a piston head that was scrapped. Thepipe itself was filled with concrete when put in position.
