402. SCHIELE, C., Manchester — Inventor and Manufacturer.
Specimens of the construction of revolving rubbing surfaces by a patent rule which determines the form best adapted to reduce friction to a minimum under any given strain. Form for a strain in the direction of the axis.
The preceding figures are intended to represent various applications of the peculiar form for rubbing surfaces. The lower figure represents this form.
Portable grinding mill, driven by Lloyd's steam-engine, with the exhibitor's condensor attached, and with the rubbing surfaces formed according to the patent rule.
A similar mill, fitted as a handmill.
Four-and-a-half-inch cock.
Spindle-joint, used on locomotive regulators, instead of stuffing-box.
1.625 inch stop-cock, with pump-valve attached.
Steam whistle.
Glass water-gauges: in which the packing is tightened by direct pressure without any twisting strain on the glass.
Gauge-cock.
Self-acting feed regulator for a ten-horse power boiler, with curved surfaces.
Fire-cock, with stand pipe.
Glass taps for acids, filters, etc.
Lathe spindle.
Samples of screws and nuts.
Instruments for describing the curves required in the construction of the foregoing articles. Equation and formulae relative to the antifriction curve.
Ventilator for exhaustion or compression.
