THIS CATALOGUE is intended to briefly describe the various Foreword. types of machinery which we build. The de- scriptions are only outlines, and fuller information either by catalogues or by correspondence will be given upon inquiry. Illustrations of various plants are given on the last pages of this book, showing varied applications of our machinery. They are useful for the suggestions they offer in helping to solve important questions that are likely to arise when seeking some method to reduce the cost of manufacture or to increase the output of the works. In the production of its special line of manu- facture the C. W. Hunt Company has had thirty- eight years’ experience. The essential character of its An Economic machinery is that it increases the Factor. capacity, or it saves in the labor expense of an industrial works. The justification of the purchaser in selecting the Hunt machinery is that it will reduce his pay-roll more than any other system, or it will increase the output of the works at the same labor expense. Instances almost without number could be named of the great savings which have been effected by the use of this machinery. 4 COW en unt Company, en Govessor & An electric power plant station Power Station was located 800 feet from the wharf front. The coal was unloaded from vessels with a one-ton steam shovel outfit, carried to the 6,000-ton storage pocket by a cable railway, taken from the pocket by a conveyor and delivered, night and day, to the front of the boilers for a total cost, including the interest on the investment, of an amount less than 34 cents per ton. It previously cost them 27% cents per ton, on 25,000 tons of coal per year. This installation of machinery paid them above interest and all operating expenses a net profit for dividends of 24 cents per ton. Few realize the saving made by the “Industrial” ; use of a narrow gauge track and Railway. cars in handling raw and finished materials. Suppose that a system of track and cars in a manufacturing establishment would save the wages of a boy at only fifty cents per day. This saving of $150 per year would pay ten per cent. interest on an investment of $1,500. One can scarcely imagine a place where so large an investment could be made for a system of tracks and cars, and no greater saving result. A Smelting Company put in about 700 feet of Industrial track, the necessary switches and twelve specially constructed cars. Their pay-roll Catalogue Number 102 5 was at once reduced $23 per day, and in addition the capacity and efficiency of the works was materially increased. A large manufacturing company Electric _ installed in their foundry an Elec- Locomotive. tric Storage Battery Locomotive with a view to relieving the congestion, which had become a serious problem. After the loco- motive had been working some months, the superintendent said they really had but little use for it, as it was only in operation a part of each day. Through carelessness it was run ao ner toa off the end of the track, and they the Work. were unable to use it for two days. During that time it required 25 men each day to do the same work which the locomo- tive and its driver had been performing so efficiently and so quietly that the superintendent had overlooked how important an element it was in their foundry work. Possibly some readers may have the Our J idea that the improvements made in Machinery. our machinery have first been a happy thought put into the form of a drawing or model, and then that the inventor has sought out in some class of business a customer who would adopt the device and put it into use. The machinery built by the C. W. Hunt Company 6 CW.) Hit nits Coun prain yn erwark Ok had a widely different origin. Every improve- ment has been devised to meet the definite want of a customer, and was not invented first and a place to use it found afterwards. This wholly eliminates experimental machinery ; a real want is met, in- stead of an inventor’s idea of what somebody ought to want. Our customers are those who use and Our wear out the articles they purchase ; Customers. consequently quality takes prece- dence of cost with them. Having no trade with middlemen, and paying no commissions, there is no temptation to reduce the quality of articles to compete with those who seek that class of business. For this reason, no anxious Excellence of : thought is given as to Material and Work. whether this or that can be made a little cheaper at the expense of quality or efficiency, but it tries to have the material and the workmanship just as thoroughly good as pos- sible, the only criterion being whether the article will be better adapted for its work or more durable in use. It does not care to sell any machine that is not as good in every respect as though the pur- chaser himself had selected the materials and per- sonally supervised its construction in its factory. Correspondence is invited from those about to erect new, or to revise their present plants. Catalogue Number 102 v No. 04134.

The Hunt Steeple Tower is specially adapted for the rapid unloading of vessels. One of the two- ton towers shown in the illustration, on a test hoisted at an average rate of 268 tons of coal per hour and the other at the rate of 320 tons per hour. Four years after erection, in ordinary ser- vice, hoisting from an ordinary sailing vessel, they handled 3,250 tons of coal in a working day of 11 hours.’ This hoist is best suited to those cases where the highest speed of unloading is essential. The Steam Engine for use with this hoist is shown on page 38, but an electric hoist (see page 34) when current is available, can be used, in which case the services of a licensed engineer would not be required.

Battleship “Virginia’’ recently broke the world’s record for rapid coaling at this plant, by taking on board 1,667 tons of coal in four hours, the maximum amount taken on in one hour being 550.9 tons. The tower booms project over both sides of the pier in order that the vessel may be unloaded when lying at either side. The pier has bunkers from which the coal is loaded into vessels, the storage building being about 350 feet away. Coal is transferred to and from storage by two cable railways; one carrying the coal from the vessel to the storage building, and the second railway re- claiming the coal and carrying it to the vessel to be loaded.

The Coal Handling Machinery at this station includes three double Steeple Towers, two Cable Railways and a large storage pocket. The coal is unloaded from colliers by means of the Steeple Towers and taken to storage by a cable railway. When the storage pocket on the shore side is full the ground space beneath and around the pocket is utilized, thus giving the great storage capacity needed for a naval reserve station. The coal is reclaimed by a second cable railway and carried to the cruisers or battleships at the wharf front. Here are measuring pockets aggregating several hundred tons capacity, all ready to spout to the vessel bunkers. A battleship is coaled at the rate of over 500 tons per hour. 122 3Co Wa HU 7G I Clorm Dp miiny NTO avia ee Olt x Electric Cranes.

Where current is available and it is desired an Electric Hoist may be used with equal efficiency. It does its work with less labor expense per ton of coal hoisted than any other style, which commends it for use in coal yards and for manufacturing companies where the highest economy in the labor cost of unloading is desired.

We consider this elevator to be one of the best advertisements your Company has, as during the past fourteen years it has been in constant operation, and we have never yet been able to ascertain the full limit of the machine. The cost for maintenance and repairs, outside of ordinary wear and tear, has been comparatively trifling as compared with other machines of the same class operated in this harbor, and we do not see how we could get along in our business without our old, reliable Hunt Elevator.

This Coal Hoisting Elevator is designed for rapid and economical hoisting of coal and ore from vessels. The steel tubs are filled by the workmen in the hold of the ves- sel and carried directly to the dumping place with any speed that the business demands. The motion of the tub is definite, so that there is none of the ordinary swinging caused either by a difference in speed of hoisting or by the effect of the wind on the tub. The boom projecting over the vessel can be worked at a material angle with the face of the wharf, so that it will reach a hatch twelve feet either side of the center of the tower. The boom does not move while the elevator is in operation, and when not at work is swung horizontally over the wharf, leaving the wharf front unobstructed. This is the standard hoist for general work. Detailed information will be found in our larger catalogue, which we will be pleased to send on request.

The track is 21% inches gauge, and the curves are 12 feet radius, thus enabling the track to reach every part of the yard or buildings. HEAvy CABLE RatLway.—The steel cable runs constantly, and the cars are gripped to the cable at any point of the track, and are drawn around the tracks until the grip is released. This style railway is usually built so that the track forms a continuous loop, and the car passes over the entire track and back to the place of starting, automatically dumping its load at any desired point on the route. DouBLE SHUTTLE CABLE RaiLway.—Two cars are used, one running out loaded and the other running back empty, passing each other on a switch or a double track. - SINGLE SHUTTLE CaBLE RaiLway.—One car only is used, drawn back and forth by a cable, driven by a reversing steam engine or by a belt from shafting. We have installed a-large number of cable railways in power plants, coal yards, phosphate plants, cement mills, gas works, etc. We shall be pleased to mail to those inter- ested a copy of our ‘“‘Cable Railways’’ catalogue, which contains a full description of the three systems as well as many illustrations of Cable Railways we have installed. ee 2829 CW Eu ni teC.o mep amity, Neetwae yO) rk Cable Railways.

Catalogue Number 102 31 Automatic Railways. The Automatic Railway is the simplest and most economical way of carrying coal back from the front of a wharf to the storage bin or pocket. It is an elevated, self-acting railway, operated en- tirely by gravity. The chief feature consists in storing sufficient energy, which has been acquired by the loaded car descending an inclined track, to return the empty car back to the loading place. The coal is hoisted from the boat either by horse, electric or steam power, and dumped into the car by an attendant. One man only is needed to operate the railway. to load the car and start it. This is the standard railway for handling coal in coal yards and in~ gas works. It is equally well adapted for handling other bulk materials. We have installed a number of automatic railways in power plants, for carrying the coal to the storage bins over the boilers. The special dumping arrangement enables the coal to be dis- charged at any point, thus securing even distribu- tion of the coal in the bins. We furnish the car and all working parts, the purchaser furnishing the timber and labor of erection. Send for our catalogue, “Automatic Rail- ways,’ which contains a full description of the railway and illustrations of plants we have in- stalled.

In this style the gears, shafts and bearings are enclosed in a cast iron dust and oil-tight case, as shown in cut No. 068. These cases are made in a series of six sizes, covering the ordinary range of hoisting where protection to the gears is a desirable object. There are two sets of gears arranged in a symmetrical manner on each side of the main shaft. Each set transmits one-half of the power to the wheel on the drum shaft. The gear teeth are large machine-cut, and the shafts are liberal in diameter. The bearings are brass bushed and easily renewed. The ratio of gearing is made to correspond with the particular motor to be used and the load to be hoisted. A removable cover on the side of the case gives access to an exam- ination of the interior. The advantage of the gear case is that in addition to its high mechanical efficiency it protects the gears and _ bearings from flying sand and dust. The gear teeth and bearings run under ideal conditions of lubrication. The drums, brakes and friction clutches on these hoists are the same as those used on the open gear hoists. 38 C. W.

Our double cylinder coal hoisting engines are unusually massive in construction, and especially designed for heavy duty in continuous service. The steam passages are so arranged that all con- densed water automatically drains away from the cylinder, and danger from freezing is avoided. The steam cylinder clearance is reduced far below the amount usual in this class of engine, reducing the direct waste of steam to a minimum, and also diminishing the amount of the initial condensation. The friction clutches are carefully designed and made; the brakes are easily handled, and the rope drums are unusually large in diameter. Cut No. 0580 shows a double cylinder, single- drum engine for ordinary coal hoisting with tubs. Other styles are made for steam shovel hoisting, one of which is shown in cut No. 0582. We build several sizes of these engines with cylinders varying from four to fifteen inches in diameter.

Mr. Stuckey, the constructor of the furnaces, made the following statement as to the merits of this engine: “It is decidedly the best engine for heavy constant work I have ever seen in my 39 years of experience as a blast furnace constructor. This engine has been in constant operation from August 1, 1901, to the present time, night, day and Sunday, the only exception being shut-downs of about two hours to apply new cables to the rail- way every five months. During all this time no repairs of any kind whatsoever have been made to the engine and no adjustment of any kind has been made other than to take up one-half turn on the metallic piston rod packing.”——November 10, 1905. 42 GC.

We make two kinds of buckets, the ‘‘ Duplex,” shown above, and the ‘‘King,” shown on the oppo- site page, the principal difference being in the closing mechanism. Each bucket requires two hoisting ropes, one for closing the bucket and the other for holding it while it is being dumped. In hoisting, the load is divided on the two ropes. These buckets are unusually heavy and strong, being intended for regular and continuous service. Steam or electric hoisting engines may be used with equal facility to operate these buckets. ** DUPLEX "" GRAB BUCKETS CARRIED IN STOCK FOR PROMPT DELIVERY. One-half ton coal capacity.

The object of this rugged construction is to have them less liable to accidents and delays; to fill more completely, and also to insure a greater durability in service. If the bucket is less efficient, or less reliable than it should be, it cripples other machinery costing perhaps ten times as much as the bucket itself. The main bearings of each style are brass bushed, so that should wear occur a new bushing brings the mechanism back to its original effective- ness. We have had twenty-five years’ experience in building this class of bucket, commencing their manufacture in 1885.

The general appearance is the same and the body of both tubs is the same, the variation being in the method of locking the body of the tub to the bale. Using these tubs, a cargo of coal, broken stone or iron can be unloaded with less physical exertion for the workman than with any other style in use. The vertical height of the tub over which the workman must shovel the coal is less than that of any other style. They are top-heavy when loaded and automatically dump when the catch is released. When empty they are bottom-heavy, and auto- matically return to their upright position. SIDE CATCH COAL TUBS KEPT IN STOCK FOR PROMPT DELIVERY. One-sixth ton. One-third ton. One-fifth ton.

They are made without wheels, but have many of the advantages of the coal tubs described in the previous pages. They are made in the most substantial manner, of the best materials, and adapted to the ordinary requirements of shaft, trench and concrete work.

In handling concrete, the material is harden- ing while being carried and gradually incrusts the inside of the tub until it becomes necessary to use considerable force in order to remove it. For this reason our tubs are specially constructed of steel boiler plate sufficiently strong to stand the rough usage to which it is exposed through the efforts of the workmen to dislodge the concrete from the sides of the tub. The jaws are under easy control at all times, and the opening can be adjusted to suit any conditions. Should it be necessary at any time to put in duplicate parts, the jaws and mechanism can be removed from the body of the tub ina few minutes. All parts are interchangeable.

A lignum vite sheave causes less wear ona manila hoisting rope than any substance known and as the rope must be renewed frequently, it is more economical to pay a high price for an unusually fine and large hoisting block that will double or treble the life of the rope, than to use a small and cheap block, especially as the block will outwear a hundred ropes. Our blocks have lignum vite sheaves sixteen inches in diameter and two and a quarter inches thick, by far the largest rope sheaves made commer- cially in any country. From the large diameter the rope suffers less internal wear, as it is bent to a less degree. These blocks are fitted with uni- versal joint, which permits them to adjust them- selves accurately in line with the hoisting rope.

We manufacture a special rope made from the best quality of selected Manila Fibre, laid up with a tallow and plumbago lubricant. The twist of the threads and of the strands are carefully adjusted to the class of work to be done. The plumbago reduces the internal friction in bending over the pulleys, and the tallow makes the rope partially waterproof, It is the only trans- mission rope that is not materially injured by ex- posure to the weather. We guarantee that more work can be done with it, in proportion to its cost, than with any other rope in the market, without any exception whatever, and will gladly refund the difference in price if it is not all we claim. You cannot lose one cent in making a trial of this rope. This rope is made in one quality only, but it is laid up in two styles, one for RopE Drivine and the other for Coat HoisTinG Fats. Cable laid ropes for well driving and deep drilling are made to order of the same quality of fibre. The standard “‘coil’’ kept in stock is about 1,200 feet, but we make them of any length up to several thousand feet, in one piece, with- out a splice. For horse-power strength, suitable loads, prices, and other information, see larger catalogue. All sizes kept in stock for prompt delivery. ba. °C. W.-H unt. Clo m pia nry, IN Ol wy) 0 Pek No. 0823.

In service the rope usually stretches and the sag then becomes too great. Instead of re-splicing the rope, it is shortened in the following manner:— The couplings are fitted with an internal ratchet, which can be loosened to twist up and thus shorten the rope. When the rope has been shortened until the sag is correct, the ratchet is fastened to keep the rope from untwisting. By the use of this coupling, the cost and the delay caused from resplicing the rope as it wears are avoided ; the original diameter of the rope is maintained, and tension pulleys may be dispensed with. All of the ropes in a multiple drive can be kept at the same tension. The adjustable coupling is not only convenient in installing the rope, but permits it to be shortened from time to time, so that the sag can be kept at a constant amount. Oo) eC.

J., in planning its new works, found that one of the most serious problems with which it had to deal was the procuring of sanitary conveying machinery capable of economically and efficiently handling the large quantities of vegetables used in the preparation of its famous Condensed Soups. The cleanliness that must obtain in a modern plant manufacturing food products makes the use of non-corrosive machinery compulsory. The food materials as received from the farms are carefully examined by experienced attendants. The vegetables are not thereafter touched by a workman’s hand, for at this point in the process they. are received by the Hunt Conveyor, which carries them above the first floor to a height of 40 feet, where they are automatically discharged into any one of 36 block tin lined cooking kettles, arranged in two rows along a distance of 140 feet. The Conveyor has a capacity of over 100 tons per hour, each bucket holding 300 pounds and all the 112 buckets in the chain are coated inside and outside with a vitreous white enamel, which is baked on. See cut No. 1062, above. In designing this Conveyor, every detail has been arranged so that at frequent intervals it may be subjected first to a thorough washing with hot water and then to a sterilizing jet of steam, cleansing it as thoroughly as the most fastidious could desire. 6-2) Ga Wass Ute Clo min amitye nN exw ve Orr Ic Trolleys. =S SS SSS mak. ss > Su (rss = i ~ ~ ae 1 AC esee =. ee =a os Bs ey Sek ane i a Dead wore pr > > ~ ae » maR vos no ~= No. 03122.

These Coal Crackers are designed for break- ing lump bituminous coal into pieces small enough to feed through automatic stokers. The rolls have hardened steel chisel points, that split or crack instead of crushing the lumps, thus giving the least possible amount of dust coal. If one of No. 0016. the steel points gets broken or worn, a new one is screwed in its place. The breaking rolls are enclosed in a frame, so that no dust from the rolls will get either in the gearing or in the room in which the cracker is located. The gearing also runs in a bath of oil, giving perfect lubrication at all times. The bearings are all brass bushed, and easily renewed. These Crackers are of such massive con- struction that when an unbreakable object gets between the rolls, the machine stops abruptly without doing damage to itself. The distance apart of the rolls is either one and one-half, two and one-half, three and one-half, or four and one half inches, as ordered. The distance is not adjustable, thus entirely avoiding mechanical parts that are frequently the subject of breakage, caus- ing expensive delays and repairs, lig OL ALIGN ashabknolie UOMaysanjoteMnotag, POT Ty Ye Coy oes Coal Crackers.

In drawing coal and similar material from elevated bins, it requires a valve that can be easily opened, and also be easily closed against the flowing stream of coal. It is alsoimportant it shall be so constructed that in closing the larger lumps of material will be pushed either inward or out- ward, and not prevent the valve from closing. The normal tendency of these valves is to automatically close by gravity, so that there will be no danger of opening by vibration of the structure or the disarrangement of any part. These valves are usually opened by hand, but power can be applied to the larger sizes if that may seem desirable. We do not describe the valves in this pamphlet, but to give some idea of the variety needed to suit practical conditions, we present several pages of illustrations. Almost every re- quirement may be met with one or another size of our standard types or their modifications. Engineers and Architects interested in the use of valves of this character are requested to send for our catalogue, which illustrates the various styles we build, and also gives clearances dimensions for use in making their working drawings. This data enables them to specify standard valves which can be purchased from stock, these always being better as well as cheaper than valves of special construction. 70 Cc. W.

Few realize the saving made by the use of a narrow gauge track and suitable cars in handling their raw and finished materials. Assume, for example, that a system of tracks and a few cars in a manufacturing establishment would save the wages of a boy at only fifty cents per day. This saving of $150 per year would pay ten per cent. interest on an investment of $1,500. One can scarcely imagine a place where so large an in- vestment could be made for tracks and cars and no greater saving result. In one instance, a com- pany installed 700 feet of ‘‘ Industrial ” Track, the necessary switches and twelve cars, reducing their payroll $23.50 per day, about $7,000 per year, and also increasing the capacity and efficiency of the works. One man can push a loaded car to any part of the works, because it runs easily on the switches and curves. Ifa rigid wheel, instead of a flexible bearing car is used, it will take two or three men to get a loaded car around the curves, and once on the job, they will stay with the car all day. That is, the labor cost of operating a Hunt car is so much less than any other narrow gauge railway, that, looking at the cost of operation, an ordinary track and car could not be accepted as a gift. We publish a large catalogue, ‘‘ Industrial Railways,’’ which is a very comprehensive treatise on the subject, and contains valuable data for the use of Engineers and Architects, and to others interested in the matter.

The material advantages arising from the use of these chutes, as well as the reduced cost of handling the coke to storage, are so great that we believe that an engineer is not justified in neglecting to carefully look into the great benefits which this machinery offers, both in its economic and in its administrative advantages. The coke is quenched in closed bins. A material part of the quenching is done by the steam generated from the water sprayed into the compartment, which produces a bright silvery grey coke, instead of the black or dull looking coke produced by other methods. A smaller amount of breeze is produced than by the usual method, arising both from the small amount of handling from the time the coke leaves the retort until it is quenched and the quiet action of steam as compared with flood- ing with water. An incidental advantage which is highly appreciated by the workman is that the cellar and the charging room are free from steam and gases always incident to any other of the older methods of quenching. We will be glad to place full information at the disposal of our customers which will enable them not only to appreciate the advantages of these chutes, but to assist them in their practical installation.
