Motor-Driven Sav ing Edges of Roofs with an iron top on which all the required equipment ismounted. In assembling the ladders the ?§ in. carriagebolts are first inserted through the stiles which are thenplaced on the frame, being held in the proper position by-angle irons. The rungs are put in place and the nuts startedon. The operators then place the air motor socket over eachnut in turn and tighten them. The supporting frame of pipeis pivoted and can be swung over either stile. When all thenuts have been tightened the air hammer is used to rivetover the ends of the bolts. Saw for Cutting Roofs A good use for a discarded motor is shown in the illus-tration herewith. This motor, of yi hp. and ojjerating at October. 1922 RAILWAY MECHANICAL ENGINEER 581 1,750 , is mounted on four small wheels and drives a14 in. saw. The bottom of the guard is slightly above thelevel of the wheels and the saw projects down 1J4 in- belowthe guard. A substantial handle is provided and the wiresfrom
