PACKING.--In a recent pamphlet, the Law Metallic Packing Co., New York, describes its line of metallic packing which is adaptable particularly for marine and stationary engines, centrifugal pumps, turbine en- gines, expansion joints, tailshaft stuffing boxes, valve stems, ete. It is designed to withstand. pressures up to 4000 pounds per square inch and _ temperatures up to 1500 degrees Fahr. The packing was invented by William H. Law who was associated for 25 years with a number of marine companies in the United Kingdom, and with various manufacturing companies in this country since 1879, up until his retirement five years ago. he packing consists of a series of metal rings. When the gland is slightly set uD, the two working rings are forced gently against the rod, not by a wedging effect but by the sur:aces of the working rings being expanded inwardly. These wedge rings do not touch the rod 'but th ough set- ting up of the gland are foreed away. 'The packing has bearing on the rod only with one-quarter of the surface of its total length, reducing friction. The book contains a number of testimonial lette:s f.om uses
