It is in our book list for $3. The American Steam Gage Company,Boston, will move from their oldquarters on Chardon street to Boylstonstreet, Jamaica Plains. This gives themmore than double their present capacity,and has been made absolutely necessaryby the growth of their business. Thosewho are familiar with the merit of theirgages and valves will have no difficulty inaccounting for this Nickel steel is slowly making its wayinto favor with railroad men for parts ofrailroad machinery that have been notedfor failure. Driving axles of locomo-tives and piston rods are now frequentlymade of nickel steel, and the materialseems eminently suitable for these material has been in use too short atime to demonstrate its durability, but wewill have opportunities to judge of itsreal value pretty soon. It has been wellspoken of by the Master Mechanics As-sociation for crank pins, piston rods, driv-ing axles, side rods, firebox plates andstaybolts. We would like to recommendthat it be tried for the piston rods of steamhammers. We do not know of any ser-vice where it would be more severelytried. The Pratt Chuck Company, of Frank-fort, N. v., owing to the large demand fortheir product, have found it necessary tolargely increase their force, and are re-building and making additions to theirp
