28 - MARINE REVIEW. | ried A MODERN STEEL FOUNDRY. Attention was directed to the United States Steel Co. of West Everett, Mass., a short time ago on account of a report to the effect that the big Morgan industrial organization, the United States Steel Corporation, at first thought of adopting the name United States Steel 'Co., but found it had already been used by the Massachusetts concern. But the United States Steel Co. at West iverett, Mass., is by no means a small affair. It is under the direction of Mr. Eugene Edwards, who was for six years in charge of the General Electric Co.'s steel foundry at Lyun, where he was making 350,000 Ibs. of castings a week. Products of the new West Everett works are knownas Jupiter steel casting. The company recently closed a contract with the Fore River Ship & Engine Co. of Quincy, Mass., for all the steel castings that will be required in the battleships New Jersey and Rhode Island, to be built at Quincy. Several castings involved in this order will weigh 30 tons each. The foundry is 200 by 180 ft. and cost about $200,000. The equipment includes two 15-ton acid open-hearth furnaces, one 30-ton traveling crane and one 20-ton traveling crane, with 'side cranes to match. There are several air hoists throughout the plant, and the facilities are in all respects suited to the manufacture of castings of I Ib. to 80 tons weight. A crucible plant, run in connection, 1s in opera- tion practically night and day. SOLVING THE TORPEDO BOAT PROBLEM. A board of naval officers appointed to devise a scheme of practical usefulness for the large torpedo flotilla which will soon be added to the navy has gone to Pensacola, Fla., where it will hold a meeting for the purpose of considering the advisability of establishing a series of torpedo stations along the Atlantic coast. The plan for the uniform distribution of the torpedo boats is still in embryo, but is generally looked upon with favor by the officers themselves. What to do with these little craft has been a problem to the navy department for some time, and it is believed that the plan of the board will finally solve the question. This plan con- templates the establishment of three main divisions, one along the North Atlantic coast at probably New London, \Conn.; another at Port Royal, S. C., and a third at Pensacola, Fla. These points are merely suggested so far, and it is the purpose of the present trip of the board to determine more definitely what points offer the best facilities for torpedo-boat ren- dezvous. As soon as these three main stations have been established the URNISHINE Ensincers THE MOST MARVELOUS METAL oe 2 ; s ie POLISH IN THE WORLD. Getting in touch with us.
