A CHARLOTTE ENTERPRISE. What Liddell & Co. are Doing in the Machinery Line. Above we give cuts of some of the machi Eery manufactured by Liddell & Co., of Char lotte. In addition to what is shown they do a great deal of general work, the cuts only rep resenting some of their specialties In addi tion to what is mentioned, they manufacture a baling press for hay, and one for yarns and warps for use in cotton factories. They also make shafting and gearing, and are prepared to furnish almost any kind of castings. This firm started business in Charlotte on a small scale about fire years ago, and have since built up a reputation which extends all over the Southern States. Their Cotton Press business had grown to such proportions that they were compelled to establish branch factories in Dallas, Texas and Montgomery, Ala. for the Manufacture of the woods of their Press. Their business has increased an nually in spite of droughts in several season* since they commenced operations. Mr. W. J. F. Lid dell, the senior member of the firm, has had long experience in the machine business, being the founder of one of the largest machine shops in the Northern States. He is regarded as high authority on all matters relating to machinery, and is the Eatentee of all the specialties manufactured y the firm. Improvements are constantly being added to all their machinery. The latest article (not shown in any of the above cuts) is a Saw Mill made on an all-together new plan, by which the feed ef the mill is changed with one stroke of a lever to anything from a quarter of an inch to fh e inches, This mill is attracting universal attention among all saw mill men who have seen it. It enables the sawyer to keep his engine pulling the same on a light *s on a heavy log, and to saw from 20 to 30 per cent, more lumber in a day.. If you are thinking of purchasing any ma chinery, call on or write to them. They keep all kinds of brara and iron p^pe fittings, and the S. Z. Hall Gin, and machinists' supplies generally. When repairs are needed, they are near at hand, and by purchasing your machinery from the firm, you do not hare to wait for weeks for agents to send Noi th and get a small article, the lack of which will compel you to stop your whole machinery, sometimes in the very busiest season. Bear these things in mind when about to purchase machinery, and remember that when you buy from them and go there again, they can always be found. Writ* for catalogue and Prices. Boles for Calculating the Speed of (tan or Pulleys, In calculating for Gears, multiply or divide by the number of teeth, as may be required. Iu calculating for Pulleys, multiply or divide by their diameter in inches. The driving wheel is called the Driver, and the driven wheel the Driven. problem i. The revolutions of Driver and Driven, and the diameter of Driven being given, required the diameter of Driver. Rule: Multiply the diameter of Driven by its number of revolutions, and divide by the number of revolutions of the Driver. problem n. The diameter and revolutions of the Driver being given, required the diameter of the Driven to make a given number of revolutions in the same time. Rule: Multiply the diameter of the Driver by its number of revolutions, ana cuviae uk product by the required number of revolu tions. problem m. The diameter or number of teeth, and num ber of revolutions of the Driver with the diam* eter or number of teeth of the Driven being given, required the revolutions of the Driven. Rule: Multiply the diamete*- or number of the teeth of the Driver by its number of revo lutions, and divide by the diameter or number of teeth of the Driven. problem iv. The diameter of Driver and Driven, and the number of revolutions of Driven being given required the number of revolutions of the Driver. Rule: Multiply the diameter of Driven by its number of revolutions, and divide by the diameter of the Driver.
