Railway and locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . ld or hotor from unequal expansion, and shouldnot cause electrolysis; that is, no elec-trical action should be set up whichwould cause any eating away of theparts. On iron pipes a gasket composed ofiron has been found to make an ex-ceedingly good joint, and a gasket coat-ed thinly with a special iron cement thatappears to fill these requirements anis said to make the thinnest and strong-est gasket in use and to be the nearestto a ground joint. It is claimed thatsuch a joint is as durable as the pipes itconnects, as well as one of the cheapestforms of gaskets. The slight expansionfound in smooth-on gaskets makesconnections tight and strong, and tliisprinciple does not exist in some of thematerial commonly used for such pur-poses. Toints made with the smooth-onpacking are ready for use as soon ascompleted and can be taken apart whennecessary and the same gasket may beused again, or may be laid aside forfuture use. This form of gasket ismade by the Smooth-On Mfg. Jer-sey City. N. l-ig. 9. All Brass, extra heavy, with Cased 250 lbs. pressure. .Maie «ith Draining Plug to preventfreezing.
