A New Rail Drilling Machine. The Newton Machine Tool Works,Philadelphia, Pa., have perfected a newtype of rail-drilling machine that pos-sesses several new and interesting fea-tures. As shown in the accompanyingillustration, the machine is equipped er. The motor is so placed that itdoes not interfere with the floor spaceand is conveniently near the materials are all of the best, andthe construction has the high degree ofexcellence that marks the product ofthe Newton Machine Tool NEW TYPE OF RAIL-DRILLING MACHINE. with four spindles, so that the threeholes for the fish-plate bolts and thehole for the rail bond are all drilled atthe same time. The three right-handspindles are for the bolt holes, andthese are arranged so that the distancebetween the centers of the holes canbe adjusted from 3T/> to 9 ins. Theleft-hand spindle is for the rail-bondhole. It is kept at a constant distanceof 6 ins. from the last bolt hole. All the spindles are mounted on asaddle and can be moved vertically inunison. The saddle is counter-weight-ed and has two changes of power feedin#addition to hand adjustment. A 10-horsepower Westinghouse electric di-rect-current motor furnishes the pow- On the Lookout. Mr. W.
