Special Hydraulic Driving Wheel Press THE Hydraulic Press Manufacturing Company, MountGilead, Ohio, designed and built the special hydraulicpress, illustrated, which was recently sold by the Mc-Carter Cooper Company, New York, to the Compagnie Gen-eral De Chemins De Fer & Tramways en Chine, Pekin,China. This press is used for forcing driving wheels on or off between strain bars is 84 in. and between ram and resistancehead is 108 in. maximum. This may be decreased to 78 moving the resistance head, which is mounted on press is also equipped with a belt-driven power attach-ment and three plunger pump with both low and high pres-sure plungers. The pump is equipped with hand and pres-. Hydraulic Press for Applying Driving Wheels to Crank Axles the crank-axles of locomotives, a special design of press beingnecessary because of the crank throws. The press will handle wheels 80 in. in diameter and less,being capable of exerting a force of 330 tons. The distance sure knock-outs whereby any one or all pump cylinders maybe eliminated from service at will or automatically when themaximum pressure is reached. A small hydraulic cylinderand ram returns the main ram to its starting position. Railway
