RAILWAY AND LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. 383 Electrical Department Electric Linotype linotype machine is one that com-poses and casts stereotyped words orlines for printing. Molten type metal isnecessary, and until electricity was usedthe metal was heated and kept hot by gas,gasoline or kerosene. The use of thesefuels cause heavy fumes in the compos- the use of this heater are as follows:1. Provides a perfect and automaticsystem of control. The heat supply sur-rounds the entire exterior surface of thecrucible containing the metal. Thus thewhole mass of metal will reach an eventemperature. The uniformity of tem-perature is further regulated by enclosing.

The use of elec-tricity has solved the metal casting prob-lem, for it not only eliminates the in-jurious gases, but has many other ad-vantages, the most important of which isthat absolutely uniform and evenly dis-tributed heat is obtained. The Westinghouse Company have oneof these electric linotype pots on themarket known as the wicker of the many advantages gained by the metal crucible, and protecting sameby heat insulation. The electric heat iscontrolled by a thermostat so that whenonce adjusted the temperature will re-main automatically at a certain tempera-ture. 2. Eliminates back squirts. If themetal becomes too hot for propermoulding back squirts will occur, caus-ing delay. Perfect slugs can only be ob-tained by metal at the proper
