The further illustrations presented below show applicationsof chain driving to the drives of wood-working machinerylocated in the tender department of the boiler shop. One isthat of a drive for a band saw, while the other is for a tablesaw, both being driven through Morse rocker-joint chains are running at high speeds, open and exposedto dust and dirt, and are giving excellent results. The drawing reproduced in the engraving upon page an interesting arrangement of the motor and themanner of supporting it, for the group-drive in the bolt shop,in the blacksmith shop building. In this case the line shaft,as well as the motor support, are located upon a side motor is supported by a very substantial bracket,built up of structural shapes and steel plata as indicated andattached to the wall by substantial through bolts passingthrough and bearing upon angles at the opposite side in orderto distribute the pressure. The motor is located at tlie outer. The line shaft for each of the group-drives in the machineshop is driven at a speed of 150 revolutions per minute. Theline shaft for the flue machinery is operated at 175 revolutionsper minute, while those in the blacksmith shop are drivenat higher speeds, from 200 to 450 revolutions per minute, asrequired. The countershaft speeds, of course, vary, being inall cases adapted to the machine driven. In the machine shop
