Cane sugar; a textbook on the agriculture of the sugar cane, the manufacture of cane sugar, and the analysis of sugar-house products . IT Fig. u 93 200 CHAPTER XI with the direction of the side cap tie-bars turned through a right angle,so that they pass into the housings in which they were secured by cottar pins,a method changed by Watson (patent 1606 of 1871) to T-headed boltsrecessed into the housing, and indicated in Fig. 87. Fletchers patent(316 of 1877) shows the side-cap bolts as continuous from cap to cap, andthis method is most generally employed. The Housing and Arrangement of the Rollers.—There are many designswhich, while retaining the isosceles triangle arrangement of the rollers,depart from the horizontal side gap or Buchanan type of housing. Walker(patent i486 of i860) cast the housing so that the rollers rested on surfacesperpendicular to the line joining the centres of the top roller and of a lowerroller. This arrangement, which prevents any horizontal movement of the. Fig. 95 lower rollers, is also found in the designs of Wilson (patent 2754 of 1861),of Bartlett (2656 of 1878), of Thoens ( patent 615591, 1898), of Boyer( 976144, 1910), and of McNeil (patent 11727 of 1912). It also appearsm the mill known as the Hamilton mill, shown in Fig. 88. This arrangementis also the type indicated in Stewarts patent (3269 of 1871), dealing with theapplication of hydraulic pressure to cane mills. A mill with the king bolts following the lines joining the centres of thetop and of a lower roller was patented b}^ Fletcher (316 of 1877), Fig. somewhat similar design was patented by Buchanan and Keay (233 of1884), and again many years later by Delbert ( 880332,1905). Housingsand roller arrangements very different from the standard pattern are illus-trated in the designs of Allan (patent 18800 of 1888), Fig. 90 ; of Hatton(11729 of 1889), Fig. 91 ; of Skekel ( 480522, 1892), Fig. 92 ; and ofAlliott and Paton (11524 of 1897), Fig. 93.
