26 MARINE REVIEW. [J anuary 23, --eee NEW CAR SHOP TENONER. One of the most powerful tenoning machines ever built is here illus- 'trated. Owing to its range of work, and the amount and kind of work it will do, the manufacturers place it on the market firmly convinced that it is one of the best machines ever offered to ship builders, car builders, and in fact all concerns that have heavy and_ general work to do. Some of the claims made for this» ma- chine by the manufacturers are: " 1, It will. do« -single, - double or triple tenoning, ~ and-also cut off and gain to the very best advantage, and by adjusting the gaining heads in different ways will over and under-gain and cut on any portion of the timber desired. (2. By removin the : lower cutter-head Bi substituting a circular saw, heavy cutting-off can be readily done. The upper and lower tenoning heads have knives that will tenon up to 6 in. in one operation, or by repassing the material tenons of any length can be made very easily. The upper head can be adjusted to make one tenon longer than another. 3. The carriage is self-acting, being driven by a screw actuated by friction gears, and can be made to 'travel in either direction or may be instantly stopped by pressure of a lever. On heavy work power feed is preferable, while on short work the carriage can be disengaged and opera- ted by hand. It is claimed that taken altogether this machine will be found to pos- sess such mechanical advantages and ithproved appliances for facilitating its work as will reduce the time in making adjustments to a minimum. The manufacturers, J. A. Fay & Egan Co., of No. 325 to No. 345 West Front street, Cincinnati, O., will cheerfully furnish lowest prices and further particulars to anyone interested. They will also send their large combined catalogue, 450 pages, showing each and every machine they make, and new illustrated poster showing this and other machines. No. 5 PATENT CAR TENONER. CLIFTON MOTOR WORKS ENGINE. The gasoline engine illustrated herewith is manufactured by the Clif- ton Motor Works, 229-231 East Clifton avenue, Cincinnati, manufacturers of marine and stationary gas and gasoline engines. This particular ma- chine is of the two-cycle type. The engines are made in sizes from 1% to 16 H.P. and of both four-cycle and two-cycle type. "When you trust your life in a small boat," says one of the officials of the Clifton works, "the first and most important safeguard is a strongly-built, reliable engine. How many distressing accidents have occurred on account of people operating engines of faulty design and con- struction, which are liable to stop without warning and without apparent cause? Departing from the usual practice we have considered in the design of this engine every possible weak point and eliminated it. The usual and most common difficulty with two-cycle engines is leakage from the crank chamber past the shaft as soon as the bearings become slightly worn, The remedy for this is to put a stuffing box on each bearing, and that is what has been done in this engine. Now a stuffing box on the after bearing means placing the ball-thrust bearing in some other location, This has been done, and the thrust bearing is where it should be--inside of the crank chamber, forward of the crank, where it is thoroughly oiled and protected. These features may be considered but minor and unim- portant, but it is the details that make up the whole. All other details about this engine have been worked out with the same painstaking care and the result is a most symmetrical and pleasing engine." : The Townsend-Downey Ship Building & Repair Co. of New York *,has been incorporated and its capital stock increased from $1,000,000 to " ee ae company's ee island, New Var now covers' abouf fifteefv acres of land.

With increased capital, new machinery, etc., and with the prestige of having already built up quite a business of a marine kind, the Toledo White Lead Co. of Toledo, O., is planning for a larger share of the paint trade among vessel owners. At the last meeting of stockholders, Mr. Geo, -E.

The Toledo White Lead Co. has made a specialty of high- grade vessel paints since they began business nine years ago. Many vessel men are familiar with their goods and speak of them in the highest terms. Treasury Department, U. S. Life-Saving - Service, Washington, D. C., January 20, 1902.
