The large chipping and riveting ham-mer No. I has been put to every testa hammer is likely to be put to and in. An examination of the piston and)the interior of the cylinder after thehammer had been used for some timedisclosed no signs of wear and this-shows that piston must be perfectlybalanced. By further reference to the cut itwill be noticed that the bushing at endof cylinder may be forced back into-tlie cylinder, thus shortening the strokeand giving a much lighter blow. As there are in this tool no partssubject to any very great amount ofwear or liability to breakage it wouldseem that this tool is likely to fill along felt want, and especially is thistrue where hammers are used in placesremote from repair shops.
