Our engraving represents a sectionalview of a new bell-ringer, operated by airor steam. The piston is packed in theusual way, and is forced in the upwarddirection only, by means of a cylindricalvalve which admits the motive power onthe under side of the piston. The latter isfitted at thetopof itsrodwith a disk,which,in moving upward with the piston, engagesthe anti-friction roller shown on the bell-crank above it, and forces the latter andthe bell through a small arc. The valveis manipulated by means of the clampedarm on the piston, and in the upwardmovement of the latter the arm engageswith the collar on the valve stem andmoves the valve upward into the positionshown; the admission port is then closed,.

The pis-ton in its downward movement forces thevalve stem and valve down by contactof the arm with the lower collar on thestem, closing the exhaust and again open-ing the valve to admission, repeating theorder of movements described, and con-tinuously ringing the bell. The Ohio Steel Company has decidedto add two mammoth blast furnaces to itsplant at an outlay of $1,000,000. It is tomanufacture Bessemer pig iron, and theplant, it is claimed, will be the biggestiron producer in the world. It will Ukea year to erect the furnaces. »1» LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERING. June, 1898.
