Mr. Long has had this machine inoperation at the Packerton shops for sometime, where it can be seen doing fast first-class work by any who are interested. § ® § The Trethewey Manufacturing Com-pany.

A Pipe-Bender. Among the various schemes for bend-ing pipes to the curves required in pipingan engine or car, the one long in use atthe Wilkes-Barre shops of the L. V. R. R,and which we illustrate herewith, will befound a more simple rig for the purposethan many that have been shown hereto-fore. In the development of his air devices,Master Mechanic Roth had to face theneed of a pipe-bending machine, and hetackled the problem in his usually originalway, producing a cheap and very efficientarrangement that will bend any size ofpipe to any radius. The whole thing consists of an ol
