Rough starting isequally as objectionable as rough stopping. A Link Grinder. We illustrate herewith a very eflficientlink grinder, in use in several railroad shopsin the countr)-, in one form or another. This particular one is at the D. & at Oneonta, N. Y., and is a very efl&-cient arrangement. By means of the hand wheel shown, thelink-carrier can be raised and loweredduring the grinding The different holes in the top of the armare for setting the radius for the differentlinks to be ground. The link is secured on cones boltedthrough the blade connections, as making the work done always measurablefrom the centers of the pins. The link is moved back and forth overthe emery wheel by hand, and the wheelitself is moved back and forth through thelink, movement one way being accom-plished by pushing in the knob shown onend of arbor, and the return being takencare of by the spring on arbor. This kind of grinder occupies no floorspace when out of use, is easily rigged up,casting little money, saving time and in-suring more accurate work. i i i The handsomest tool catalogue in ourcollection comes from the Jones & Lam-son Machine Co., of Springfield, Vt. Thisbook is wholly devoted to a description ofone good tool—the Hartness flat turretlathe—and its products. It gives cuts ofdifferent kinds of work done on a screw ma-chine or turret lathe, shows how it is doneand what time it takes to make the book should be in the hands of every mechanic and s
