The Dodge Co. carry in stockall sizes of split wood pulleys from 4inches diameter by 12 inches face up to48 inches diameter by 12 inches face, changeable bushings, originated by theDodge Co., was the means of completelyrevolutionizing the pulley trade; sincetheir use enables any pulley to be fittedto any size of shaft, within certain lim-its. The bushings are all of best select-ed hard maple and are turned fromsquare stock in the planing mill.

Thetabic is pushed by hand between thesaws and the bushing is thus accuratelyand rapidly cut in halves. The ground and second floors areequipped with an efficient exhaust blowersystem with suction pipes leading tohoods covering the cutters of every ma-chine where possible. Floor sweep open-ings are provided for machines such aschuck lathes, which cannot be equippedwith hoods. In this way all shavings,dust, etc., are carried off to the powerhouse and burned under the boilers. Thewood pulley factory is heated by indirectradiation, and artificial lighting is pro-vided by incandescent drop lights. Thevarious machines are operated from lineshafting driven by motors, the currentbeing partly generated in the workspower plant and partly purchased fromoutside sources, as will be explainedlater.
