I had an old Gramme machine, and I worked over it. It hada terribly high resistance. I figured outthat if one turn on that armature wouldgive one volt, the way she stood, by mak-ing great big magnets I could get morevolts.

The proper bending of rails for curvesmakes a great improvement in the ridingof cars and in too many cases kinkswould be a better name than curves. The machine shown with this is de-signed to do this work properly and ingood time. The power-driven bendingroll is driven forward by a hydraulic cyl-inder, which is controlled by a small hand-. -NEW R.\IL BENDER. pump on the frame above cylinder. Thisgives a maximum pressure of 50 tons. Thetwo fixed rrll are 34 inches apart. The power of the machine is enormous,the gearing being I to 8 between pulleyand driving roll. The outer bending rolls are changed byloosening set-screws and pulling out \bout one rail of medium length can bebent per minute after machine is set. It-weighs about 2,750 pounds and is made bythe Watson-Stillman Company. EastFortv-third street. New York. Standard Paint Companys Exhibitsat Buffalo.
