When the shaft is in position with the highest pointsupporting the pressure screw, and the lowest point restingon the fulcrum pedestal pressure sufficient to spring theshaft into line is applied by the pressure screw. With thepressure applied the shaft is left standing for several hoursuntil the shaft centers remain in their normal position.

By the same method, it isclaimed, a shaft bent inside of the armature frame can bestraightened without injury to the discs. In this case a hardwood block resting on the frame of the lathe and supportingthe armature would be used as the fulcrum. The point ofpressure would also, in this case, be made at the pinion endof the shaft. NEW METHOD OF TRACK CONSTRUCTION AT OWOSSO,IVIICH.
