tyframe, all gears of this machineare of steel with cut teeth. Thel)inions are machined from forg-ings. All bearings are bushedwith pliosphor bronze, being ofample size to carry the load with-out undue unit pressure. Ball orroller bearings are used wherenecessary. All working parts areforgings, the shafts being ofcrucible steel of generous dimen-sions. The main shafts have ringoilers and many of the eccentricsrun in oil. Taper gibs are pro-vided with easy adjustment to takeu)) wear. No cast-iron parts areused in this machine.It is obvious that the combination of so many functionsin a single machine without tool changes is a great time-saving feature. A large pro;)ortion of h^omotive and carrepair work, for e.xample, cannot lie finished in a singler);)(.-ration. A plate usually has to l>e sheared and punchedand then an angle, tee, or beam cut to go with it. Theseopi-rations can all Ir- performed on the Pels macliine withoutlo-ing time and effort in going to three different machines.

Owing to its heav>forged steel plate construction, the main frame is said to beabsolutely unbreakable. This machine is particularly valu-able for railroad as well as indu-trial shops l>ccause it willpunch and cut boiler plate, shear rounds, squares, flats,angles and tees and bevel angles and tees from the smallestsize up to the capacity of the mai hine, wholly without toolchanges. 537 538 RAILWAY MECHANICAL ENGINEER \0L. 96, No. 9 Overhead Crane with Double Hoist and Turntable Trolley THE transverse type of locomotive repair shop offerseconomical use of the floor space, is convenient to workbenches along the building walls and facilitates thefloor traffic for handling material.
