The illustration shows a 28-inch swingscrew cutting engine lathe driven by Bul-lock type N motor. The motor isplaced directly on the spindle in the headstock, taking the place of the cone armature spider is built directly upon There is another method which is grow-ing in favor for this work. It is carryingan air pipe wherever you want to work,and using a pneumatic drill or other toolas the case may be. There are few caseswhere this cannot be done, and it seems tohi the modern MOTOR-DRIVEN LATHE. the hollow spindle of the lathe. By meansof a new system of variable speed controlthe motor is given a greater range ofspeed, without loss of torque, than is ordi-narily given by the cone pulley, havingsixteen speeds in either direction, includ-ing the back gear. The controller is placedupon the leg of the lathe, directly underthe head stock, and is operated by asplined shaft running along the bed ofthe lathe and a handle which travels withthe carriage. The slowest speed is 60 andthe highest about 250 revolutions. The motor is fully described in bulletinNo. 4535, which may be had by addressingthe Bullock Manufacturing Company, Cin-cinnati. Ohio. The Eclipse Reducing Valve. Among the claims for this valve are thatthere is no diaphragm to break, no stuffingbox to leak and only four parts to thewhole thing. As simplicity is one of thefeatures which appeals to any mechanic, itseems s
