. American engineer and railroad journal . sent the tram with the engine for test and had the men report the move-ment of sheet every time the flues were expanded. It was as follows: On Feb. 4, 1910, flues expanded and trammed after work was completed. A striking example of what can be accomplished in securing^compactness and portability in connection with a tool where itis generally lacking, is exhibited in the arrangement of the Re-liance swing saw herein illustrated, which is a product of theReno-Kaetker Electric Co., of Cincinnati, O. The extreme sim-plicity as well as the unusual strength of the frame is quite ap-parent, and as the outfit is entirely self-contained it can bemounted either upon the ceiling, side wall, or upon a portablestandard located in some out of the way place. The machine is adapted for any standard make motor, and asthe latter is mounted directly on the base of the saw frame theconstruction does away with needless countershafting and belt-ing. This insures that no power is wasted by running idle and. eliminates all useless weight and belt friction. The base sup-porting the motor is of heavily ribbed cast iron and the sawframe is a heavy cast iron cylinder. The saw, which is counter-balanced so that it automatically returns as soon as the handleis released, is forced to follow its cut. The operator, withoutchanging his position, can start and stop at will, the starting boxand switch being placed in a most convenient location. The River Tunnels leading to the Pennsylvania station inNew York are, all told, miles long, and the land tunnelshave the same length. From the Bergen Hill portal in NewJersey to the Long Island entrance of the tunnels is is miles from Harrison, New Jersey, to the station in NewYork, while from the latter point to Jamaica the distance is January, 1911.
