October, 1895 THE CJLlZJLnJL X^XJMBKH-MJLK 5 WATEROUS ENGINE COMPANY'S NEW WORKS. THE accompanying cut illustrates the new buildings being erected in Brantford by the Waterous Engine Works Co. Ltd. The buildings are what may be called gallery construction. The main one is 300 feet long and 120 feet wide, having a central space of 40 feet wide running to the roof, over which a traveling crane will be operated. On each side of the centre is a 40-foot space with a gallery the full length of the building. The foundry, or moulding shop, is 80 feet wide and 100 feet long, with a central space of 40 feet and two side spaces of 20 feet each ; in one of the latter the cupolas will be placed. On one side of the foundry is the pattern room or vault, separated by a solid and heavy fire wall. The power house is 40 x 60 feet, and in this building next to the main building will be the wash room of the men. The building will be large enough to contain the boilers, engine, dynamo, pumps, air compressor, etc. It was thought advisable to place the blacksmith shop, boiler shop, and main building together to avoid any long distance between them. Thus the blacksmith shop, which is 50 x 80 feet, is between the main building and the boiler shop ; one wall of the main building forms one side of the blacksmith shop, and the wall between the blacksmith shop and the boiler shop forms the other wall, so the blacksmith shop, main building and boiler shop are all connected. The boiler shop is 87 x 120 feet. Lighting is done from the sides and the roof. Heating will be by the hot blast system, and for water, an excellent supply has been found on the premises. Railway tracks will enter the main building and the boiler shop, and other tracks will be laid in the yard, from which shipments can be made and material received without the need of teaming.
