. Modern mechanism, exhibiting the latest progress in machines, motors, and the transmission of power, being a supplementary volume to Appletons' cyclopaedia of applied mechanics . Fig. 58. Fig. 59. Figs. 58, 59.—Westinghouse engine—sectional views. with Babbitt-metal. From 60 horse-power up these bearings arc split for the sake of con-venient removal without taking out the shaft. They are slipped into tlio crank-case headfrom the inside, and adjusted by a distance-ring t, which is of an arbitrary thickness depend-ent on the shriidvage of the casting of the crank-case. A chamber is formed in the outer endof the crank-case head, in which, and revolving with the shaft, is the ring-wiper ii\ which takes up the oil as it workspast the bearings, and returnsit through the hollow rib e intothe crank-case C. Oil is fedto the engine from the sight-feed cups // on the main bear-ings ; this renders all other lu-brication unnecessary, andkeeps the engine clean. A si-phon overflow, with a funnel-head 0, prevents any accumu-lation of water from risingabove tlie level of the bottomof the shaft, and thus preventsthe escape of oil. This over-flow may be pi[)ed off at thehole
