PREFACE 

This  book  was  compiled  especially  for  engineers  and 
draftsmen,  so  they  might  have,  in  convenient  form,  draw- 
ings, tables,  and  formulae  of  standard  details  for  use  in 
designing. 

The  data  have  been  obtained  from  a  variety  of  sources. 
Many  of  the  tables  have  been  furnished  by  the  leading 
machine-tool  manufacturers  in  the  United  States  and  rep- 
resent their  current  practice. 

Besides  being  of  use  to  engineers  and  draftsmen,  students, 
purchasing  agents,  and  others  interested  in  mechanical 
engineering  will  find  the  book  of  value.

PRESS  AND  SHRINK  FITS 

Press  fits— Either  one  or  both  parts  are  given  a  slight  taper  as 
V*  to  K2  in  per  foot.  The  allowance  between  a  hole  in  a  cast  iron 
hub  and  a  steel  shaft  to  be  pressed  in,  may  be  taken  as  about  .004 
in.,  and  for  a  steel  hub  and  shaft  .003.  Press  fits  are  not  as  satis- 
factory as  shrink  for  resisting  torsional  stresses. 

Shrink  fits.-Both  hole  and  shaft  are  generally  cylindrical  altho 
sometimes  a  slight  taper  is  given.  For  cast  iron  and  steel  shrink 
fits  an  allowance  of  .0015  times  the  diameter  of  the  shaft  plus  .005 
in.  may  be  used.  Some  companies  make  no  difference  in  allowance 
between  press  and  shrink  fits.

U.  S.  PATENT  OFFICE  DRAWINGS 

Drawings  must  be  made  upon  pure  white  paper  of  a  thickness 
corresponding  to  two-sheet  or  three-sheet  Bristol  board.  The  sur- 
face of  the  paper  must  be  calendered  and  smooth.  India  ink  alone 
must  be  used,  to  secure  perfectly  black  and  solid  lines. 

The  size  of  a  sheet  on  which  a  drawing  is  made  must  .be  exactly 
10  by  15  ins.  One  inch  from  its  edges  a  single  marginal  line  is  to  be 
drawn,  leaving  the  "sight"  precisely  8  by  13  ins.  Within  this  mar- 
gin all  work  and  signatures  must  be  included.  One  of  the  shorter 
sides  of  the  sheet  is  regarded  as  its  top,  and,  measuring  downward 
from  the  marginal  line,  a  space  of  not  less  than  l^t  ins.  is  to  be  left 
blank  for  the  heading  of  title,  name,  number  and  date. 

All  drawings  must  be  made  with  the  pen  only.  Every  line  and 
letter  (signatures  included)  must  be  absolutely  black.  This  direc- 
tion applies  to  all  lines,  however  fine,  to  shading,  and  to  lines  rep- 
resenting cut  surfaces  in  sectional  views.  All  lines  must  be  clean, 
sharp  and  solid,  and  they  must  not  be  too  fine  or  crowded.  Surface 
shading,  when  used,  should  be  open.  Sectional  shading  should  be 
made  by  oblique  parallel  lines,  which  may  be  about  one-twentieth 
of  an  inch  apart.  Solid  black  should  not  be  used  for  sectional  or 
surface  shading.  Free-hand  work  should  be  avoided  wherever  it 
is  possible  to  do  so. 

Drawings  should  be  made  with  the  fewest  lines  possible  consist- 
ent with  clearness.  Shading  (except  on  sectional  views)  should  be 
used  only  on  convex  and  concave  surfaces,  where  it  should  be  used 
sparingly,  and  may  even  there  be  dispensed  with  if  the  drawing  be 
otherwise  well  executed.  The  plane  upon  which  a  sectional  view  is 
taken  should  be  indicated  on  the  general  view  by  a  broken  or  dot- 
ted line,  which  should  be  designated  by  numerals  corresponding  to 
the  number  of  the  sectional  view.  Heavy  lines  on  the  shade  sides 
of  objects  should  be  used,  except  where  they  tend  to  thicken  the 
work  and  obscure  letters  of  reference.  The  light  is  always  sup- 


THESIZEOFTHE  SHEET  MUST  BE  EXACTLY

•THIS  SPACE  MUST  BE  IIGHT  INCHES 4 


DRAWINGS  11 

posed  to  come  from  the  upper  left  hand  corner  at  an  angle  of  45 


The  scale  to  which  a  drawing  is  made  ought  to  be  large  enough 
to  show  the  mechanism  without  crowding,  and  two  or  more  sheets 
should  be  used  if  one  does  not  give  sufficient  room  to  accomplish 
this  end;  but  the  number  of  sheets  must  never  be  more  than  is 
absolutely  necessary. 

The  different  views  should  be  consecutively  numbered.  Letters 
and  figures  of  reference  must  be  carefully  formed.  They  should,  if 
possible,  measure  at  least  one-eighth  of  an  inch  in  height,  so  that 
they  may  bear  reducing  to  one  twenty-fourth  of  an  inch;  and  they 
may  be  much  larger  when  there  is  sufficient  room.  They  must  be 
so  placed  in  the  close  and  complex  parts  of  drawings  as  not  to  inter- 
fere with  a  thorough  comprehension  of  the  same,  and  therefore 
should  rarely  cross  or  mingle  with  the  lines.  When  necessarily 
grouped  around  a  certain  part  they  should  be  placed  at  a  little  dis- 
tance, where  there  is  available  space,  and  connected  by  lines  with 
the  parts  to  which  they  refer.  They  should  not  be  placed  upon 
shaded  surfaces,  but  when  it  is  difficult  to  avoid  this,  a  blank  space 
must  be  left  in  the  shading  where  the  letter  occurs,  so  that  it  shall 
appear  perfectly  distinct  and  separate  from  the  work.  If  the  same 
part  of  an  invention  appear  in  more  than  one  view  of  the  drawing 
it  must  always  be  represented  by  the  same  character,  and  the  same 
character  must  never  be  used  to  designate  different  parts. 

The  signature  of  the  applicant  should  be  placed  at  the  lower 
right  hand  corner  of  each  sheet,  and  the  signatures  of  the  witnesses, 
if  any,  at  the  lower  left  hand  corner,  all  within  the  marginal  line, 
but  in  no  instance  should  they  trespass  upon  the  drawings.  The 
title  should  be  written  with  pencil  on  the  back  of  the  sheet.  The 
permanent  names  and  title  constituting  the  heading  will  be  applied 
subsequently  by  the  office  in  uniform  style. 

All  views  on  the  same  sheet  must  stand  in  the  same  direction 
and  must  if  possible  stand  so  that  they  can  be  read  with  the  sheet 
held  in  an  upright  position.  If  views  longer  than  the  width  of  the 
sheet  are  necessary  for  the  proper  illustration  of  the  invention  the 
sheet  may  be  turned  on  its  side.  The  space  for  heading  must  then 
be  reserved  at  the  right  and  the  signatures  placed  at  the  left,  occu- 
pying the  same  space  and  position  as  in  the  upright  views  and 
being  horizontal  when  the  sheet  is  held  in  an  upright  position. 
One  figure  must  not  be  placed  upon  another  or  within  the  outline 
of  another.

HANDBOOK  OF  STANDARD  DETAILS 


Drawings  transmitted  to  the  U.  S.  Patent  Office  should  be  sent 
flat,  protected  by  a  sheet  of  heavy  binder's  board;  or  should  be 
rolled  for  transmission  in  a  suitable  mailing  tube,  but  should  never 
be  folded. 

An  agent's  or  attorney's  stamp,  or  advertisement  or  written  ad- 
dress will  not  be  permitted  upon  the  face  of  a  drawing,  within  or 
without  the  marginal  line.

Thus  if  a  pine  pattern  weighed  one  pound,  a  casting  of  cast  iron 
from  it  would  weigh  16  Ibs.,  of  brass  18.8  Ibs.,  of  bronze  19.3  Ibs.,  etc. 

SHRINKAGE  OF  CASTINGS 

Patterns  for  castings  should  be  made  larger  than  dimensions  given 
on  drawings  to  allow  for  shrinkage.  For  iron  castings  (gray  and 
malleable)  the  allowance  for  shrinkage  is  y%  inch  per  foot,  for  steel 
J£  inch,  for  brass  %  inch,  for  lead  y%  inch,  for  tin  lln  inch  and  for 
zinc  3/fg  inch.

To  Divide  a  Line  Into  a  Number 
of  Equal  Parts  when  the  divisions 
on  the  scale  are  larger  than  the 
parts.  If  A  B  is  the  line,  draw 
B  C  perpendicular  to  it.  Suppose 
A  B  is  to  be  divided  into  5  equal 
parts — take  a  scale  or  a  foot  rule 
and  place  one  end  at  A  and  the 
division  5  of  the  scale  on  the 
line  B  C.  Draw  horizontal  lines 
through  the  divisions  1,  2,  3  and 
4, — then  their  intersections  on 
A  B  as  1',  2',  3'  and  4'  are  equal 
parts  of  the  line  A  B. 

To  Lay  Off  a  45  Deg.  Angle. — Let 
A  B  and  B  C  be  two  equal  lines  form- 
ing a  right  angle.  A  line  connecting  A 
and  C  will  be  at  an  angle  of  45  degs. 
to  A  B. 


To  Lay  Off  a  60  Deg.  Angle. — 
From  the  line  A  B,  with  A  as  center, 
and  any  radius  draw  arc  B  C.  With 
the  same  radius  and  B  as  center  de- 
scribe an  arc  cutting  B  C  at  C.  Join 
A  and  C.  The  line  A  C  will  make 
an  angle  of  60  degs.  with  A  B.  For 
an  angle  of  30  degs.  bisect  B  C.

The  length  of  flat  head  screws,  stove  bolts  and  countersunk  oval 
head  screws  includes  the  head  and  half  the  head  of  round  head  wood 
screws — but  excludes  the  head  of  round  and  fillister  head  machine 
screws  and  round  head  stove  bolts. 

The  length  of  rivets  is  exclusive  of  the  head  except  countersunk 
heads,  where  the  length  of  the  head  is  included. 

The  diameter  of  screws  is  measured  by  the  Brown  and  Sharpe 
gauge,  see  page  43. 

The  diameter  of  structural  rivets  is  given  in  inches  or  fractions 
thereof.  See  Structural  Details,  pages  270  and  271. 

MATERIALS 

The  material  selected  depends  on  the  purpose  the  bolt  is  to  be 
used  for.  The  U.  S.  Navy  for  class  B  open  hearth  carbon  steel  re- 
quires a  tensile  strength  of  58,000  Ib.  per  sq.  in.,  elastic  limit  30,000 
Ib.  per  sq.  in.,  elongation  in  8  ins.  of  289  and  be  bent  cold  180  degs. 
without  showing  fracture.  Special  bolts  as  Society  of  Automotive 
Engineers  hexagon  head  cap  screws  can  be  obtained  with  a  tensile 
strength  of  100,000  Ib.  per  sq.  in.  and  elastic  limit  of  60,000.  Bolts, 
screws  and  nuts  are  also  made  of  bronze  and  composition.

Height  or  thickness  of  nut  is  taken  as  equal  to  the  diameter  of  the 
bolt,  which  is  approximately  true. 

Studs  in  cast  iron — depth  of  tap  should  be  the  same  as  for  tap 
bolts,  viz.:  \l/$  times  the  diameter  of  the  stud. 

Drilled  holes  which  are  to  be  tapped  should  not  extend  into  spaces

Track  bolts  are  manufactured  with  U.  S.  Standard  rolled  thread, 
buttress  and  U.  S.  Standard  cut  thread.  With  rolled  and  buttress 
threads  the  diameter  of  the  threaded  portion  is  about  He  m-  greater 
than  the  unthreaded,  while  with  cut  threads  the  diameter  of  the 
threaded  and  unthreaded  portion  is  the  same.  Bolts  may  be  ob- 
tained with  either  square  or  hexagon  nuts.

As  the  greatest  load  is  on  the  top  nut  this  should  be  the  largest 
as  shown  in  A.  Spanners  are  seldom  thin  enough  to  take  a  thin 
bottom  nut,  and  the  nuts  are  sometimes  arranged  as  in  B  which  is 
convenient  but  faulty  theoretically.  C  is  a  compromise  of  A  and 
B,  both  nuts  being  the  same  size.  Short  diameter  of  nuts  same  as

THREADS   FOR  BOLTS,   NUTS,    SCREWS   AND   PIPE 

DEFINITIONS 

(National  Screw  Thread  Commission,  Washington,  D.  C.) 

Screw  Thread. — A  ridge  of  uniform  section  wound  in  the  form  of 
a  helix  on  the  inside  or  outside  surface  of  a  cylinder  or  cone. 

Screw  Helix. — The  path  of  a  point  moving  at  a  uniform  angular 
rate  on  a  cylindrical  or  conical  surface  and  at  the  same  time  mov- 
ing at  a  uniform  axial  rate. 

Major  Diameter  (formerly  known  as  outside  diameter). — The 
largest  diameter  of  the  thread  on  the  screw  or  nut.  The  term 
major  diameter  replaces  the  term  outside  diameter  as  applied  to 
the  thread  of  a  screw  and  also  the  term  full  diameter  as  applied  to 
the  thread  of  a  nut. 

Minor  Diameter  (formerly  known  as  core  diameter) . — The  small- 
est diameter  of  the  thread  on  the  screw  or  nut.  The  term  minor 
diameter  replaces  the  term  core  diameter  as  applied  to  the  thread 
of  a  screw  and  also  the  term  inside  diameter  as  applied  to  the 
thread  of  a  nut. 

Pitch  Diameter. — fOn  a  straight  screw  thread  the  diameter  of  an 
imaginary  cylinder  which  would  pass  through  the  threads  at  such 
points  as  to  make  the  width  of  the  threads  and  the  width  of  the 
spaces  cut  by  the  surface  of  the  cylinder  equal. 


Single 


Double 


Triple 


Quadruple 


Pitch. — The  distance  from  a  point  on  a  screw  thread  to  a  corre- 
sponding point  on  the  next  thread  measured  parallel  to  the  axis. 

Pitch  =  ,-= r FTT — 3 — r- 

JN  umber  01  threads  per  inch. 

Lead. — The  distance  a  screw  thread  advances  axially  in  one 
turn.  On  a  single  thread  screw,  the  lead  and  pitch  are  identical; 
on  a  double  thread  screw  the  lead  is  twice  the  pitch,  on  a  triple 
thread  screw  the  lead  is  three  times  the  pitch,  etc. 


FASTENINGS 


59 


'    Angle  of  Thread. — The  angle  included  between  the  sides  of  the 
thread  measured  in  an  axial  plane. 

Helix  angle. — The  angle  made  by  the  helix  of  the  thread  at  the 
pitch  diameter  with  a  plane  perpendicular  to  the  axis. 

Crest. — The  top  surface  joining  the  two  sides  of  a  thread. 

Root. — The  bottom  surface  joining  the  siaes  of  two  adjacent 
threads. 

.     Crest  Clearance. — Defined  on  a  screw  form  as  the  space  between 
the  top  of  a  thread  and  the  root  of  its  mating  thread. 

Fit. — The  relation  between  two  mating  parts  with  reference  to 
ease  of  assembly,  for  example: 


Wrench  fit 
Close  fit 


Medium  fit 
Loose  fit 


The  quality  of  fit  is  dependent  upon  both  the  relative  size  and 
the  quality  of  finish  of  the  mating  parts.

ceded by  the  diameter  in  inches  (or  the  screw  number)  and  number 
of  threads  per  inch,  all  in  Arabic  characters,  followed  by  the  classi- 
fication of  fit  in  Roman  numerals.

[1919-1920] 

National  Form,  Special  Pitch.     Threaded     1 '  —  12  —  N     —  IV 
part  1"  diameter,  12  threads  per  inch, 
Class  four  fit. 

Form  of  Thread. — The  national  form  of  thread  profile,  known 
previously  as  the  United  States  Standard  or  Sellers'  Profile,  is  rec- 
ommended by  the  Commission  (National  Screw  Thread  Commis- 
sion, Washington,  D.  C.)  and  shall  hereafter  be  known  as  the  Na- 
tional Form  of  Thread. 

a.  Where  Used. — The  national  form  shall  be  used  for  all  screw 
thread  work  except  when  otherwise  specified  for  special  pur- 
poses. 

b.  Specifications. — The  basic  angle  of  thread  (A)  between  the 
sides  of  the  thread  measured  in  an  axial  plane  shall  be  60  degs. 
The  line  bisecting  this  60  deg.  angle  shall  be  perpendicular  to  the 
axis  of  the  screw  thread. 

The  basic  flat  at  the  root  and  crest  of  the  thread  form  will  be 
Y*  X  p..  The  basic  depth  of  the  thread  form  will  be  .649519  X  p 
_   .649519 

n 
Where  p  =  pitch  in  inches. 

n  =  number  of  threads  per  inch. 

c.  Clearance  in  Nut. — (1)    Clearance  at  minor  diameter. — A 
clearance  shall  be  provided  at  the  minor  diameter  of  the  nut  by 
removing  the  thread  form  at  the  crest  by  an  amount  equal  to 
Y§  to   %  of  the  basic  thread  depth.     (2)    Clearance  at  major 
diameter. — A  clearance  at  the  major  diameter  of  the  nut  shall 
be  provided  by  decreasing  the  depth  of  the  truncation  triangle 
by  an  amount  equal  to  ^  to  %  of  its  theoretical  value. 

Thread  Series  Recommended. — National  Coarse  Threads  and 
National  Fine  Threads.  The  National  Coarse  Threads  (see  Table 
1)  are  recommended  for  general  use  in  engineering  work,  in  ma- 
chine construction  where  conditions  are  favorable  to  the  use  of  bolts, 
screws  and  other  threaded  components  where  quick  and  easy  assem- 
bly of  the  parts  is  desired,  and  for  all  work  where  conditions  do  not 
require  the  use  of  fine  pitch  threads.

The  National  Fine  Threads  (see  Table  2)  are  recommended  for 
general  use  in  automotive  and  aircraft  work,  for  use  where  the  de- 


FASTENINGS

sign  requires  both  strength  and  reduction  in  weight,  and  where 
special  conditions  require  a  fine  thread,  as  for  instance,  on  large 
sizes  where  sufficient  force  cannot  be  secured  to  set  properly  a 
screw  or  bolt  of  coarse  pitch,  by  exerting  on  an  ordinary  wrench 
the  strength  of  a  man.  The  form  of  thread  for  coarse  and  fine 
threads  is  the  same  as  outlined  in  the  paragraph  Form  of  Thread. 


National  Form  of  Thread  for  Minimum  Nut  and  Maximum  Screws 


In  the  figure  no  allowance  is  shown.  This  condition  exists  in 
Class  II.  Medium  Fit  where  both  the  minimum  nut  and  the  maxi- 
mum screw  are  basic.

Classification  of  Fits. 


71 


Class     I 
Loose  fit 


Includes  screw  thread  work  of 
rough  commercial  quality,  such 
as  hose  couplings,  etc. 


Class    II 


Subdivision  "A"     Includes  the  great  bulk  of  screw 


Medium  fit  (Regular) 


thread  work  of  ordinary  quality 
of  'finished  and  semi-finished 
bolts  and  nuts,  machine  screws, 
etc. 


Subdivision  "B"     Includes  the  better  grade  of  inter- 
(Special)  changeable  screw  thread  work, 

such  as  high  grade  automobile 
and  aircraft  bolts  and  nuts. 


Class  III 
Close  fit 


Includes  screw  thread  work  re- 
quiring a  fine  snug  fit,  some- 
what closer  than  the  medium 
fit  special.  In  this  class  of  fit 
selective  assembly  of  parts  may 
be  required. 


Class  IV  Subdivision  "A"     Includes   screw  threads  used  in 

Wrench  fit  light    sections    with    moderate 

stresses,   such  as  aircraft  and 
automobile  engine  work. 

Subdivision  "B"  Includes  screw  threads  used  in 
heavy  sections  with  heavy 
stresses,  such  as  steam  engine 
and  heavy  hydraulic  work. 


PIPE  THREADS 

The  standard  in  the  United  States  is  the  Briggs,  and  in  Great 
Britain  is  the  Whitworth.  In  Briggs,  the  pipe  is  tapered  V^  in. 
per  in.

Threads  for  Pipe  and  Fire  Hose  Couplings  Recommended  by  National 
Screw  Thread  Commission,  Washington,  D.  C.,  1919-1920 

The  Commission  favored  the  adoption  in  practically  its  present 
shape  of  the  Briggs  standard  pipe  thread  size  as  recommended  by 
the  Am.  Society  of  Mechanical  Engineers  and  the  fire  hose  coupling 
as  established  by  National  Fire  Protective  Association.

NAILS 

Wire  nails  have  a  circular  cross  section,  the  steel  wire  gauge  is 
used  for  designating  their  diameter.  The  length  is  given  in  the 
penny  system,  the  letter  d  being  the  selected  symbol,  thus  a 

2  penny  nail  (2  d)  is   1"       long

etc. 

Cut  nails  have  a  rectangular  cross  section,  with  taper  from  head 
to  point. 

A  keg  of  nails  weighs  100  Ibs. 

Cement  coated  nails  have  practically  twice  the  holding  power  of 
common  wire  nails.  Cement  coated  nails  (as  manufactured  by 
Wickwire  Bros.,  Cortland,  N.  Y.)  are  like- common  nails  except  in 
the  style  of  head.

SPIKES 

SQUARE 
Railroad  Spikes 

A  standard  railroad  spike  has  a  square  cross  section  with  a  chisel 
point  as  in  figure  below.  Reverse  point  has  the  cutting  edge  parallel 
to  the  length  of  the  head — this  type  of  spike  is  often  used  on  bridge 
stringers,  where  the  stringers  run  parallel  to  the  track.

85 


On  pulleys  and  gears  the  key  seat  is  under  ah  arm  on  all  sizes  up 
to  74  ins.  dia.,  when  practical  with  a  set  screw  over  the  keyway. 
Large  pulleys  and  gears  having  8  arms,  when  made  in  two  parts  have

Forged  steel  shafting  is  preferable  to  rolled  for  sizes  6  ins.  dia.  and 
above,  as  it  is  stronger  and  more  homogeneous.  Forged  steel  shaft- 
ing as  manufactured  by  Dodge  Manufacturing  Co.  has  the  following 
characteristics:  tensile  strength  per  sq.  in.  60,000  to  70,000  Ibs., 
elastic  limit  30,000  to  36,000  Ibs.,  elongation  in  2  ins.  25  to  .30%, 
reduction  in  area  40%. 

Shafting  in  machine  shops  should  run  at  about  160  rev.  per  min., 
and  in  wood  working  shops  250. 

Shafting  should  be  supported  so  the  deflection  is  not  greater  than 
.01  in.  per  ft.  See  pages  93  and  106.

QUILL   DRIVES 

For  heavy  duty  and  where  it  is  necessary  to  use  a  clutch  on  the 
driving  shaft,  quill  drives  can  be  installed  to  advantage. 

A  quill  is  a  hollow  shaft,  usually  cast  iron,  larger  in  diameter  than 
the  line  shaft.  The  quill  is  supported  by  independent  bearings 
(indicated  by  crosses  in  the  figure)  the  clutch  is  attached  to  the  face 
F,  and  at  H  is  keyed  the  pulley.  The  clutch  when  disengaged  is 
stationary.  The  line  shaft  supported  by  its  own  bearings  revolves 
but  does  not  come  in  contact  with  the  quill.  The  quill  relieves  the 
line  shaft  of  the  weight  of  the  pulley  and  belt  pull.

The  coupling  consists  of  shell,  two  cones  and  bolts.  Each  cone 
has  a  keyway  cut  in  it  as  also  in  each  end  of  the  shafts.  By  drawing 
up  the  bolts  an  equal  pressure  is  exerted  on  the  cones,  which  are 
compressed  and  drawn  into  the  outside  shell.  With  this  type  of 
coupling  the  shafts  may  be  slightly  out  of  alignment  yet  transmit 
power  satisfactorily.

This  type  of  coupling  is  suitable  for  repairing  a  broken  shaft 
quickly.  It  is  designed  to  use  without  shaft  keys,  and  consists  of  a 
slotted  sleeve  with  a  reverse  taper  on  the  outside,  and  compression 
flanges.  By  tightening  bolts  in  the  flanges,  they  are  drawn  together 
causing  the  sleeve  to  grip  the  shaft.  To  obtain  an  even  grip  the 
flanges  should  be  equidistant.

These  couplings  consist  of  two  half  sleeves  tapered  on  the  outside 
and  two  forged  steel  rings  bored  to  match  at  each  end.  In  fitting 
couplings  to  shafts  the  rings  are  driven  towards  each  other,  forcing 
the  sleeves  to  grip  the  shafts.  Keys  are  required.

BEARINGS 

Bearings  (pillow  block  and  hanger)  in  ordinary  shop  practice  are 
spaced  about  8  ft.  apart  (see  page  93).  The  spacing  should  be  such 
that  the  shaft  deflection  is  not  greater  than  .01  ins.  per  ft. 

Length  of  heavy  fixed  bearings  2^  to  3 %  times  the  shaft  diameter; 
of  light  self  adjusting  3  to  43/£.  The  allowable  bearing  pressure  in 
Ibs.  per  sq.  in.  of  projected  area  babbitt  or  bronze  lined  is  100  to 
155  Ibs. 

In  locating  bearings  and  in  selecting  the  size  of  shaft  it  must  be 
remembered  that  additional  pulleys  are  often  installed  after  the 
shafting  is  in  place,  and  it  is  necessary  to  allow  for  them.

LUBRICATING  DEVICES  FOR  BEARINGS 

Oil  and  grease  cups.  Oil  cups  are  usually  cast  into  the  bearing 
cap  and  filled  with  waste  saturated  with  oil.  Instead  of  oil  cups, 
grease  cups  may -be  tapped  into  the  cap  at  each  end. 

Capillary  oilers  as  made  by  the  Dodge  Manufacturing  Co.  con- 
sist of  a  wood  block  fastened  in  the  bottom  of  the  bearing  sleeve, 
having  alternate  saw  cuts  through  which  the  oil  rises  by  capillary 
attraction  from  the  reservoir  below  the  sleeve. 


Oiling  rings  (see  figure).    The  rings  as  the  shaft  revolves,  bring 
oil  from  the  reservoir  to  the  shaft.

PULLEYS 

Ordering  Pulleys. — The  following  outline  can  be  used  to  advan- 
tage in  ordering  pulleys. 

1.  Service. — State  whether  for  single  or  double  belt.     If  neither  is 

specified,  single  belt  pulleys  will  be  furnished. 
If  greater  horse  power  than  a  double  belt  is  required,  the  horse 
power,  rev.  per  min.  and  service  should  be  given. 

2.  Description. — State  whether  solid,  split,  clamp  hub,  flange  or 

special. 

If  no  description  is  given,  plain  solid  pulleys  will  be  furnished. 
In  sending  sketches,  follow  the  instructions  on  page  111. 

3.  Diameter. — Specify  diameter  in  inches.    This  should  be  the  first 

dimension. 

If  exact  diameter  is  required,  mention  this  fact  and  state  whether 
measurement  shall  be  made  at  crown  or  edge  of  rim.  An 
extra  charge  is  made  for  exact  diameter. 

4.  Face. — Specify  face  in  inches.    This  should  be  the  second  dimen- 

sion given,  arid  should  be  specified  as  the  width  of  belt  to  be 
used,  unless  an  exact  width  of  face  is  desired,  in  which  case 
this  should  be  noted  on  order  by  having  the  word  "exact" 
follow  dimension  of  face. 

5.  Bore. — Specify  exact  diameter  of  shaft  in  inches.     This  should 

be  the  third  dimension. 

If  shaft  is  of  an  odd  or  special  diameter  make  a  gauge  to  accom- 
pany order. 

Never  send  orders  as  pulley  to  be  bored  I15/ie"  scant,  2%"  full 
or  about  ^4  *  under  3  ". 

6.  Crown  or  Straight  Face. — After  specifying  dimensions  of  pulley, 

state  whether  crown  or  straight  face.     If  neither  is  specified, 

crown  face  pulleys  will  be  furnished. 

Pulleys  for  belts  which  do  not  shift  should  have  crown  face. 
Pulleys  for  shifting  belts  should  have  straight  face. 

7.  Key  seat  or  Set  Screw. — State  whether  keyseated  or  set  screwed 

or  both. 
If  neither  is  specified,  set  screws  only  will  be  furnished.

If  keyseated,  state  whether  straight  or  taper. 

Pulleys  keyseated  and  not  set  screwed  should  have  taper 
keyseat. 

Taper  keyseats  will  be  cut  with  Y%"  taper  per  foot,  unless  other- 
wise specified.  Split  hub  pulleys  are  recommended  to  have 
straight  keyseat  with  set  screws  on  top.

In  making  sketches,  especial  care  should 
be  taken  to  indicate  those  dimensions  required 
to  be  exact.  The  bore  will  always  be  considered 
an  exact  dimension,  but  the  diameter,  width  of 
face  and  length  of  hub  are  dimensions  \vhich 
are  not  always  required  to  be  of  an  exact  size.

Cast-iron  pulleys  are  known  in  the  trade  by  the  terms— single 
belt,  double  belt  and  triple  belt  which  terms  refer  tc  leather  beating. 

Single  belt  pulleys  can  be  held  on  the  shaft  by  set  screws,  while 
double  belt  require  keys  with  two  set  screws  over  the  key  way. 

Single  and  double  belt  pulleys  up  to  40  ins.  dia.  are  balanced  to 
run  at  300  ft.  per  min.,  and  over  40  ins.  at  3,500.

Pulleys  for  shifting  belts  should  have  a  straight  face  and  for 
non-shifting  a  crown.  The  crown  up  to  12  ins.  in  width  varies 
with  different  manufacturers  from  %  to  l/£  in.,  and  above  12  ins. 
from  H  to  l/i  in.  per  foot.  When  a  belt  is  shifted  from  one  side  of 
the  center  line  to  the  other,  the  face  should  be  straight.

HANDBOOK  OF  STANDARD   DETAILS 


Steel  pulleys  can  be  run  at  higher  speeds  than  cast  iron  as  they 
are  stronger  and  lighter.  Furthermore,  tests  have  shown  that  belts 
slip  less  on  steel  than  on  cast  iron  or  wood. 

Steel  pulleys  are  of  split  construction,  no  keys  being  required, 
the  pulleys  being  held  to  the  shaft  by  compression  of  hub  by  bolts. 

Data  on  steel  pulleys  as  manufactured  by  the  American  Steel 
Pulley  Co.,  Philadelphia,  Pa.,  are  given  on  pages  122  and  123. 

Wood  pulleys  are  cheaper  and  lighter  than  cast  iron,  and  under 
certain  conditions  give  excellent  service.  They  should  not  be  run  in 
damp  places  nor  at  high  speeds.  A  wood  rim  of  hard  maple  seg- 
ments, properly  laid  up  in  glue,  has  nearly  three  times  the  strength 
of  good  cast  iron  for  resisting  the  stresses  set  up  by  its  own  rotation. 

The  tractive  pull  of  a  leather  belt  upon  a  wood  rim  is  greater  than 
upon  any  metallic  rim.  With  wood  pulleys  looser  belts  can  be  run, 
and  belt  slippage  can  be  reduced  to  a  minimum. 

There  are  no  standard  dimensions  as  manufacturers  have  devel- 
oped their  own  designs.  Below  are  sizes  manufactured  by  the 
Dodge  Mfg.  Co.,  Mishawaka,  Ind.

BELTING 

"Wide,  thin  belts  are  not  as  satisfactory  as  narrow  thick  ones.  To 
get  the  best  results  shaft  centers  should  be  from  20  to  25  ft.  apart. 
The  most  economical  speeds  for  belts  are  from  4,000  to  4,500  ft. 
per  min. 

Leather  Belts. — For  high  speeds,  the  leather  should  be  cut  along 
the  spine  of  the  hide,  and  for  low  across  the  shoulder. 

Single  leather  belts  are  7^  to  ^  inch  thick,  double  21^  to  2%. 

Single  belts  for  pulleys  up  to  11  ins.  dia. 

Double     "     "        "      from  12  ins.  and  up. 

Triple      "     "        "          "    20    "       "     " 

U.  S.  Navy  specifications  call  for  oak  tanned  single  leather  belts 
to  have  a  tensile  strength  of  4,000  Ibs.  per  sq.  in.,  and  double  3,600. 

Commercial  sizes — widths  increase  by  ^  inch  up  to  1  inch,  % 
inch  up  to  4,  and  ^  inch  to  7.  Above  7  ins.  depends  on  the  manu- 
facturer. 

Rubber  belts  are  made  of  duck  saturated  with  rubber.     They 
are  particularly  suited  for  running  in  damp  places. 
Rubber  belts  are  often  figured  as  averaging  ^  inch  thickness  per

Balata  Belts. — These  consist  of  a  cotton  fabric  which  is  thor- 
oughly impregnated  with  a  solution,  the  chief  ingredient  of  which 
is  balata.  Balata  belts  should  not  be  installed  where  the  tempera- 
ture is  over  120  degs.  F.,  and  they  should  be  kept  free  from  oil. 
The  following  table  was  furnished  by  R.  &  J.  Dick  Co.,  Passaic, 
N.  J.,  manufacturers  of  balata  belts. 

The  following  table  shows  the  horse  power  which  each  inch  of 
width  of  belting,  from  3  ply  to  10  ply,  will  transmit  at  the  speed 
given.

C  =  distance  between  centers  of  pulleys. 

R  =  radius  of  large  pulley. 

r    =       "      "  small       " 

A  =  arc  of  contact  of  large  pulley. 

B  =     "   "         "       "  small       "  

Length  of  open  belt      =  A  +  B  +  2\/C2  —  (R  —  r)2

BELT  DRIVES 

Power  may  be  lost  by  journal  friction  and  belt  slipping.  To  pre- 
vent the  former  the  belt  should  not  be  run  too  tight.  As  to  belt 
slipping,  this  may  be  largely  overcome  by  applying  a  dressing.

pulleys — hence  the  belt  can  run  in  either  direction.  The  arc  of 
contact  of  crossed  belts  is  equal  on  both  pulleys  and  is  always 
more  than  180  degrees.  The  gain  in  contact  is  lost  by  the  twist 
in  the  belt,  which  causes  it  to  run  unevenly  on  the  pulley. 
However,  the  arc  is  generally  taken  at  180  degrees  in  making 
calculations.  -

[T.  B.  Wood's  Sons  Co.,  Chambersburg,  Pa.] 

American  system  of  rope  transmission  has  one  continuous  rope 
winding  from  one  groove  or  sheave  to  another.  In  this  system  a 
uniform  tension  is  kept  on  the  rope,  by  a  traveling  tension 
carriage.

In  the  English  or  separate  warp  system,  a  single  endless  rope  is 
required  for  each  groove  or  sheave.  The  English  system  is  now 
little  used  except  in  main  drives,  as  from  engine  to  countershaft.

Wire  rope  may  also  be  used  for  drives.  The  average  speed  for 
wire  and  manila  rope  is  4500  ft.  per  min. 

The  larger  the  sheaves,  the  lower  is  the  operating  cost  as  the  rope 
wears  longer.  A  single  sheave  with  a  filler  is  not  suitable  for  trans- 
mitting more  than  300  H.P.,  hence  it  is  often  necessary  to  have 
pulleys  with  a  number  of  grooves.  U  grooves  are  preferable  for 
outdoor  service.  When  the  distance  between  the  driving  and  the 
driven  pulley  exceeds  150  ft.  an  idler  should  be  installed.

If  the  chain  length  in  pitches  comes  a  fractional  part  of  a  pitch, 
use  the  next  whole  number.  The  length  of  chain  in  inches  is  equal 
to  the  product  of  the  number  of  pitches  by  the  pitch.

Distance  A  between  centers  should  not  be  less  than  !*/£  times  the 
diameter  (2  R)  of  the  larger  sprocket  nor  more  than  60  X  P. 

In  using  the  above  formula  for  calculating  the  length  of  block 
chains,  the  length  should  be  a  multiple  of  the  pitch.  For  roller,  the 
length  is  a  multiple  of  two  times  the  pitch,  as  the  ends  have  to  be 
joined  by  an  inside  and  outside  link.

A  sprocket  wheel  should  not  have  less  than  15  teeth.  On  sprockets 
of  the  same  diameter  a  short  pitch  chain  will  last  longer  and  run  more 
quietly  than  a  long  pitch. 

As  to  tooth  forms,  the  Diamond  Chain  &  Manufacturing  Co.  has 
developed  a  tooth  having  a  constant  pressure  angle  and  a  variable 
space  angle.  A  large  pressure  angle  is  one  of  the  advantages  claimed. 
Besides,  an  elongated  chain  will  run  as  well  on  a  100  tooth  sprocket 
as  on  a  20.

Addendum  is  the  distance  from  the  pitch  circle  to  the  outside 
diameter. 

Dedendum  is  the  distance  from  the  pitch  circle  to  the  bottom  of 
the  working  depth. 

Clearance  is  the  distance  from  the  working  depth  to  the  bottom  of 

the  tooth.

Usual  width  of  face  of  spur  gears  is  2  %  to  3  times  the  circular 
pitch. 

Small  pinions  which  run  with  large  diameter  gears  should  be 
shrouded  as  the  shrouding  gives  additional  strength  to  the  pinion. 
The  shrouding  on  each  side  may  be  taken  equal  to  .  4  circular  pitch 
plus  %  in.

HANDBOOK  OF   STANDARD   DETAILS 


Tooth  Forms. — Gear  teeth  may  be  constructed  with  involute, 
epicycloid  or  hypocycloid  curves  (see  pages  23-22).  The  curve 
generally  selected  is  the  involute  above  the  pitch  line  with  radial 
flanks.  The  outlines  of  involute  and  epicycloidal  teeth  may  be  laid 
out  by  Grant's  odontograph. 

Involute  gears  to  be  interchangeable  must  have  the  same  angle 
of  obliquity.  Gears  with  cycloidal  tooth  outlines  to  be  interchange- 
able must  have  the  same  rolling  circle  on  both  flanks  and  faces. 

The  addendum  line  is  drawn  outside  of  the  pitch  line  at  a  dis- 
tance equal  to  one  divided  by  the  diametral  pitch,  or  to  one-third 
of  the  circular  pitch.  The  dedendum  line  is  inside  of  the  pitch  line 
by  the  same  distance.  The  clearance  line  is  inside  of  the  dedendum 
line  by  one-eighth  of  this  distance.  The  base  line  is  inside  of  the 
pitch  line  by  one-sixtieth  of  the  pitch  diameter. 

To  Draw  a  Gsar. — Draw  the  pitch  line,  addendum,  dedendum, 
clearance  and  base  lines.  Space  the  pitch  line  for  the  tooth  points, 
either  by  dividing  the  full  circle,  or  by  stepping  off  half  the  circu- 
lar pitch. 

In  the  odontograph  table  at  12  teeth  (the  number  of  teeth  in  the 
gear  to  be  drawn),  is  found  the  face  radius  2.51  and  this,  divided 
by  the  diametral  pitch  2,  gives  1.25.  With  compass  set  to  this  face 
radius  viz.  1.25  draw  the  faces  of  the  teeth  from  the  addendum

line  to  the  pitch  line,  from  centers  on  the  base  line.  If  the  num- 
ber of  teeth  is  greater  than  36,  or  if  the  pitch  is  small,  this  face 
radius  should  be  continued  to  the  base  line. 

At  twelve  teeth  in  the  table  is  found  the  flank  radius  .96,  and  this 
divided  by  the  diametral  pitch  gives  a  quotient  of  .48.  With  the 
compass  set  to  .48,  and  from  centers  on  the  base  line,  draw  in  all 
the  flanks  of  the  teeth  from  the  pitch  line  to  the  base  line. 

From  the  base  line  continue  the  flanks  of  the  teeth  to  the  deden- 
dum  line  by  straight  radial  lines,  and  round  them  into  the  clearance 
line,  completing  the  teeth. 

To  Draw  a  Rack. — Draw  straight  lines  at  an  angle  of  15  degs. 
with  the  radius  line.  The  point  of  the  tooth,  from  the  halfway 
point  to  the  point  b  must  be  rounded  over  by  an  arc  drawn  from 
a  center  on  the  pitch  line,  and  with  the  compasses  set  to  2.10  ins. 
divided  by  the  diametral  pitch,  or  .67  inch  multiplied  by  the  cir- 
cular pitch.

Stub  teeth  generally  have  a  pressure  angle  of  20  degs.,  and  the 
distance  from  the  pitch  diameter  to  the  end  of  the  tooth  less  than  in 
ordinary  teeth.  For  instance,  for  a  6  pitch  tooth  an  8  pitch  adden-

Horse  Power  and  Working  Loads  of  Cut  Cast  Iron  Spur  Gears 

Under  the  heading  W  L  is  given  the  working  load  or  number  of 
pounds  of  power  transmitting  strain  which  can  safely  be  brought  on 
each  inch  width  of  tooth  of  a  cut  cast  iron  gear  or  pinion  of  the  size 
indicated  at  left  of  table,  when  it  is  running  at  the  speed  listed  at 
top.  For  horse  power  and  working  loads  of  cut  cast  steel  spur  gear 
multiply  the  figures  in  the  table  by  204. 

Under  the  heading  H.  P.  this  is  converted  into  Horse  Power 
transmitted  at  the  speed  named. 

These  figures  should  be  multiplied  by  the  width  of  working  face 
in  inches,  for  the  power  of  the  gear  in  question. 

The  feet  per  minute  at  pitch  line  equals  pitch  diameter  in  inches 
multiplied  by  revolutions  per  minute  and  by  .2618.

Materials  for  Gears 

Gears  may  be  of  cast  iron,  cast  steel,  bronze  or  rawhide.  Cast  iron 
gears  can  be  obtained  either  with  cast  (molded)  teeth  or  generated 
(cut).  Cast  teeth  are  for  rough  drives  but  for  accuracy,  cut  teeth 
are  preferable;  in  any  case  a  peripheral  speed  of  1,100  ft.  per  min. 
must  not  be  exceeded  as  the  noise  becomes  excessive.  For  working

MITER  AND  BEVEL 

Miter  gears  have  their  axes  meet  at  90  degs.,  both  gears  being 
the  same  size.    Bevel  gears  have  their  axes  meet  at  other  than  90 


Center  Angle.— Divide  the  number  of  teeth  in  the  pinion  by  the 
number  of  teeth  in  the  gear,  the  quotient  is  the  tangent  of  the  cen- 
ter angle  of  the  pinion  and  cotangent  of  center  angle  of  gear. 


POWER  TRANSMISSION  151 

Increase  Angle. — Divide  double  the  sine  of  the  center  angle  by 
the  number  of  teeth  in  the  pinion,  the  quotient  is  the  tangent  of 
increase  angle  for  pinion  or  gear. 

Face  Angle. — Add  the  increase  angle  to  the  center  a/igle  of  either 
gear,  and  the  sum  is  the  face  angle. 

Cut  Angle. — Subtract  the  increase  angle  from  the  center  angle  of 
either  gear,  and  the  remainder  is  the  cut  angle. 

Back  Angle. — Subtract  the  increase  angle  from  90  degrees  and  the 
r  mainder  is  the  back  angle  for  either  gear. 

Diameter  Increase. — Double  the  cosine  of  the  center  angle  and 
divide  it  by  the  diametral  pitch,  the  quotient  is  the  diameter  in- 
crease, which  added  to  the  pitch  diameter,  is  the  outside  diameter. 
The  diameter  increase  is  not  the  same  for  pinion  and  gear.  They 
are  calculated  separate  from  center  angles  as  above. 

To  Find  the  Length  of  Face  on  a  Pair  of  Bevel  Gears. — Multiply 
the  secant  of  center  angle  of  pinion  by  the'  radius  of  gear,  and  take 
one-third  of  product.  Example:  A  gear  is  6  ins.  dia.,  and  pinion 
3  ins.,  find  the  fact  of  the  gear. 

3'' 
~-gr  =  .  5000  =  tangent  of  angle. 

Secant  of  angle  =  1.1174  X  3"  (radius  gear)  =  3.352. 

3.352 
Face  of  gear  =  — y-  =  1.11  . 

In  bevel  gears,  to  find  the  thickness  of  tooth  at  small  end,  divide 
the  distance  from  apex  to  small  end  of  tooth  by  the  distance  from 
apex  to  pitch  diameter,  and  the  quotient  is  the  ratio.-  Multiply 
the  thickness  of  tooth  at  pitch  line  by  the  ratio  just  found,  and  the 
product  is  the  thickness  of  tooth  at  the  pitch  line  of  small  end  of 
tooth. 

To  find  the  pitch  line  at  the  small  end  of  the  tooth,  multiply  the 
ratio  as  obtained  above  by  the  addendum,  the  product  is  the  ad- 
dendum at  the  small  end  of  the  tooth.

To  Draw  a  Pair  of  Bevel  Gears  at  any  Shaft  Angle.  (See  page  152.) 
— Draw  the  given  axes  A  C  and  D  C  meeting  at  the  apex  C.  Lay 
off  the  distances  A  B  and  D  G  equal  to  the  pitch  radii  of  the  gears. 
Draw  B  H  and  G  H  parallel  to  the  axes,  and  from  their  intersection, 
the  pitch  point  H,  draw  the  center  line  H  C  to  the  apex.  Lay  off  H  S 
equal  to  the  given  face.  Draw  Q  H  R  at  right  angles  to  H  C.

P  C  H  is  the  increment  angle  or  the  addendum  angle.  P  C  D  is

The  "backing"  is  the  distance  from  the  pitch  line  to  the  back 
end  of  the  hub. 

The  small  ends  of  the  teeth  are  at  the  "front,"  and  the  large  ends 
at  the  "back"  of  the  gear. 

The  working  pitch  diameter  of  the  gear  is  the  diameter  H  V. 
The  outside  diameter  is  P  T.  The  increment  or  difference  between

on  pages  158  and  159,  axial  tooth  angle  =  60  degs.,  pressure  angle  = 
30  degs. 

Worm  wheels  have  straight  or  concave  faces,  an  illustration  of  the 
latter  is  shown  on  page  157.  Angle  A  is  preferably  30  degs.,  although 
it  may  be  between  30  and  35.  Wheels  may  have  the  following  pro- 
portions in  terms  of  circular  pitch  P.  Width  of  face  =  2  P.  Dimen- 
sions of  tooth  on  pitch  line,  thickness  =  .49  P,  height  =  .35  P, 
depth  =  .45  P. 

CURVED  WORM 


Worms  are  either  straight  or  curved.  The  straight  has  a  constant 
pitch  diameter  over  its  entire  surface.  In  the  curved,  the  worm  has 
the  form  of  an  hour  glass,  the  object  being  to  get  a  greater  surface 
contact  than  can  be  obtained  with  a  straight  worm.  The  Hindley 
worm  is  of  the  curved  type.  To  get  the  maximum  efficiency  the 
worm  should  be  as  small  in  diameter  as  practical.  Length  generally 
six  times  the  pitch.

HELICAL  GEARS 

Helical  gears  (often  miscalled  spiral  gears)  have  angular  teeth, 
and  can  be  used  when  the  shafts  to  be  connected  are  not  parallel. 

The  tooth  dimensions  are  obtained  from  the  normal  pitch  (de- 
termined by  the  cutter  used)  which  is  the  same  as  the  circular  pitch 
of  spur  gears.  The  circumferential  pitch  depends  on  the  tooth  angle, 
and  when  this  is  45  degs.,  the  velocity  at  the  pitch  line  is  the  same  for 
both  gears,  but  at  angles  other  than  45  the  velocity  is  different. 
With  helical  gears  the  velocity  ratio  depends  on  the  tooth  angles 
and  the  diameters  of  the  pitch  surfaces.

[Boston  Gear  Works,  Norfolk  Downs,  Mass.] 


**- DRIVEN- 


The  driving  gear  is  the  one  having  the  greatest  tooth  angle,  the 
velocity  being  independent  of  the  pitch  diameters.  Gears  of  the 
same  hand  will  run  together  on  shafts  set  at  90  degs.,  and  those  of 
opposite  hand  on  parallel  shafts.  Helical  gears  are  preferable  to 
bevel  when  smooth  running  is  required — furthermore  greater  speed 
reductions  can  be  obtained  with  helical.

HERRINGBONE  GEARS 

Herringbone  or  double  helical  gears  consist  of  two  single  helical 
gears  reversed,  that  is,  one  right  hand  helix  and  one  left  hand.  The 
teeth  may  meet  at  the  center  of  the  gear  face,  or  the  teeth  may  be 
staggered  one  half  pitch  apart  as  in  the  Wuest  gear  with  a  groove  cut 
of  one  half  the  pitch  on  each  side  of  the  center  of  the  gear  face.  In 
Wuest  gears  the  teeth  have  a  pitch  angle  of  23  degs.,  and  are  of  in- 
volute form  with  a  20  deg.  angle  of  obliquity.

Specify  whether  wrought  iron  or  steel  pipe  is  required. 

Pipe  is  designated  by  its  nominal  inside  diameter  from  Y%  to  15 
ins.;'  above  15  ins.  by  the  outside  diameter,  the  thickness  being 
specified. 

The  outside  diameter  of  pipe  heavier  than  standard  has  the  same 
diameter  as  standard,  the  extra  thickness  being  on  the  inside. 

The  inside  diameter  of  casings  is  always  given. 

The  sizes  of  boiler  tubes  are  indicated  by  their  outside  diameter. 

Pipe  is  shipped  in  random  lengths  18  to  21  ft.  with  threads  and 
couplings,  except  extra  and  double  extra  strong  which  are  shipped 
with  plain  ends.  There  is  an  extra  charge  for  pipe  cut  to  specified 
lengths — couplings  not  being  furnished  unless  specified — pipe  so  cut 
is  always  measured  to  include  the  couplings. 

Standard  pipe  cut  to  given  lengths  is  always  furnished  with 
threaded  ends.  Extra  strong  and  double  extra  strong  have  plain 
ends. 

Pipe  is  furnished  either  butt  or  lap  welded.  Butt  welded  pipe 
may  be  obtained  up  to  3  ins.  diameter,  and  lap  welded  from  1^£ 
in.  up. 

Pipe  threads — see  chapter  on  Threads. 

In  cutting  pipe  to  order  all  dimensions  should  be  given  from  center 
to  center  of  valves  and  fittings.

Lap  welded  boiler  tubes,  as  manufactured  by  the  National  Tube 
Co.,  are  of  open  hearth  steel.  Sizes  including  4  in.  dia.  are  tested  to 
750  Ibs.  per  sq.  in.  and  above  this  size  to  500. 


STEEL  TUBES 

Cold  drawn  Shelby  seamless  steel  tubes  can  be  obtained  from  % 
in.  to  9  ins.  O.  D. 

Hot  rolled  can  be  rolldd  from  2  to  9  ins.  They  cannot  be  rolled 
smaller  than  2  ins.  O.  D.  nor  with  a  wall  thickness  less  than  3%  of 
the  outside  diameter,  provided  further  that  the  wall  is  not  thinner 
than  11  gauge.  Hot  rolled  tubes  are  desirable  when  it  is  necessary 
to  machine  the  outside  or  inside  to  finished  dimensions.

BRASS  AND  COPPER  TUBES 

When  ordering  seamless  brass  and  copper  tubes  state  whether  in- 
side or  outside  diameter  is  required,  otherwise  outside  diameter  is 
shipped.  In  designating  thickness,  Stubs'  (Birmingham  Wire 
Gauge)  or  Brown  and  Sharpe  is  given.  Tubes  can  be  obtained  with 
hard  or  soft  temper,  the  latter  should  be  specified  if  they  are  to  be 
bent  or  flanged.  They  can  be  obtained  in  a  variety  of  dimensions, 
the  following  table  gives  common  sizes.

The  Center  to  Face  and  Face  to  Face  dimensions  of  Reducing  Tees  and  Crosses 
are  determined  as  follows:  For  AA-Face  to  Face,  add  to  the  outside  diameter  E 
of  outlet  bead,  twice  the  width  F  of  the  run  bead. 

For  A-Center  to  Face,  add  to  the  width  F  of  outlet  bead,  one-half  the  diameter  E 
of  the  run-bead.

VALVES 

Check  valves  are  only  for  use  when  the  flow  of  steam  or  water  is 
always  in  one  direction.  Globe  and  angle  valves  should  be  installed 
to  close  against  pressure,  for  if  installed  the  opposite  way  they  could 
not  be  opened  if  the  valve  disc  became  detached  from  the  stem. 
Gate  valves  should  always  have  their  spindles  vertical. 

Standard  valves  are  for  pressures  up  to  125  Ibs,  extra  heavy  for 

pressures  up  to  250. 

Valves  under  6  ins.  have  screwed  ends,  over  this  size  the  valves

EXPANSION  JOINTS 

Of  the  joints  shown  on  the  following  pages,  the  copper  expansion 
joints  are  for  pressures  up  to  25  lbs.f  while  those  of  the  stuffing  box 
type  are  for  higher  pressures  as  in  main  steam  lines. 


OOPPER  EXPANSION  JOINTS 

B 


Copper  expansion  joints  A  and  B  are  recommended  where  the  ex- 
pansion and  contraction  does  not  exceed  J^  in.  A  is  particularly 
suitable  for  high  vacuum  systems.  Besides  the  joints  shown  there 
are  others  made  of  corrugated  copper  which  may  be  used  for  pressures 
higher  than  25  Ibs.  Pipe  lines  must  be  anchored  to  force  the  joints 
to  compensate  for  the  expansion  and  contraction  in  the  pipe.

CHAINS 
HOISTING  CHAINS 

The  working  load  of  a  chain  should  not  be  above  one  fourth,  and 
at  most  not  over  one  third  of  its  breaking  strength,  or  but  little  over 
one  half  the  proof  test. 

The  distance  from  the  center  of  one  link  to  the  center  of  the  next 
is  the  pitch  of  the  chain. 

Chains  for  hoisting  purposes  should  have  short  links  in  order  to 
wrap  snugly  around  the  drum  or  sheave  without  bending. 

The  life  of  a  chain  can  be  increased  by  frequent  annealing  and 
lubricating.  If  the  wear  is  not  uniform  throughout  the  length,  the 
chain  should  be  cut  and  pieced  where  partially  worn. 

Chain  having  the  trade  name  "B  B'B"  crane  chain,  dimensions 
of  which  are  given  on  page  222,  is  widely  used  not  only  for  cranes 
but  for  general  hoisting. 

Drum  scores  for  chain  are  given  on  pages  224-225. 

Rings  are  made  of  heavier  stock  than  the  chain — see  page  226.

ANCHOR  STUD  LINK  CABLE  CHAIN 


Studs  in  chains  keep  the  chains  from  closing  when  they  are  over- 
strained. 

' '  j 

One  shot  of  chain  =  15  fathoms  =  90  ft. 

Ships  built  in  the  United  States  have  anchor  chain  of  the  dimen- 
sions given  on  page  223.

The  table  shows  safe  working  loads  in  pounds  of  special  "CC" 
sling  chains  when  operated  at  different  angles.  When  handling 
molten  metals,  sling  chains  should  be  25%  stronger  than  in  the  table 
The  safe  working  loads  given  are  for  each  single  strand.  When 
used  double  or  in  other  multiples,  the  loads  may  be  increased  pro-

HOOKS  AND  RINGS  FOR  CHAIN 

Round  slip  hooks  should  be  made  from  the  best  hammered  iron 
three  times  the  diameter  of  the  material  in  the  chain.  Thus  a  slip 
hook  for  a  %  inch  chain  should  be  of  2^  inch  stock. 

Square  grab  hooks  should  be  made  from  material  twice  the  diam- 
eter of  the  chain.  A  grab  hook  for  a  ^  inch  chain,  use  1J/2  stock. 

Inside  diameter  of  ring  should  be  six  times  the  diameter  of  the 
chain  iron,  and  the  ring  stock  twice  the  size  of  the  chain.  A  ring  for 
a  %  inch  chain  should  be  made  from  1^  inch  material  and  be  4^ 
inches  inside  diameter. 

TREATMENT  OF  STEEL 

Annealing  gives  the  steel  a  finer  grain,  and  makes  it  more  ductile. 
Steel  castings  and  anchor  chains  are  frequently  annealed  to  increase 
their  tensile  strength  and  resistance  to  sudden  shocks. 

Hardening  steel  increases  its  tensile  strength  and  elastic  limit,  but 
decreases  its  ductility.  Steel  is  heated  to  a  high  temperature  and 
then  plunged  into  oil  or  water.  Cutting  tools  for  lathes,  shapers, 
etc.,  are  hardened. 

Case  hardening  causes  the  steel  to  have  a  hard  exterior  surface 
and  a  soft  interior.  Gears  and  armor  are  case  hardened. 

Tempering  is  reheating  hardened  steel  to  restore  a  part  of  its 
ductility.  Drills,  metal  working  tools,  etc.,  are  tempered.

Handles  can  be  obtained  with  plain  shanks  that  are  riveted  over, 
or  with  threaded  shanks.  The  latter  are  preferable  as  it  is  not  neces- 
sary to  drill  through  the  part  the  handle  is  to  operate.  Shanks  of 
handles  operating  wheels  or  cranks  turning  right  handed  should  have 
left  hand  threads  to  prevent  unscrewing. 

Handles  are  usually  of  drop  forged  steel,  and  are  finished  all 
over.

The  top  gland  may  be  of  composition  instead  of  cast  iron  lined 
with  composition.  For  large  rods  the  gland  in  contact  with  the  rod 
is  reduced  in  length  to  cut  down  friction. 

Studs  of  steel  or  bronze  with  steel  nuts.  Bronze  studs  with  steel 
or  composition  nuts  should  be  fitted  where  there  is  excessive  moisture. 
Hole  in  gland  for  stud  He  m-  larger  than  stud. 

The  part  K  may  be  cast  on  the  engine  cylinder  or  on  the  valve 
body,  thus  doing  away  with  bolts. 

It  is  important  that  the  gland  stud  nuts  be  equally  tightened  so 
the  pressure  on  the  rod  is  the  same  at  all  points  in  its  circumfer- 
ence. If  the  rod  is  well  oiled  the  friction  may  be  considerably  re- 
duced. 


For  low  steam  pressures  hemp  and  cotton  packings  are  suitable, 
but  for  high,  metallic  should  be  used.

SPRINGS 

In  general  a  helical  compression  spring  will  give  the  best  results 
if  its  outside  diameter  equals  eight  times  the  diameter  of  the  wire. 
In  designing  compression  springs  with  squared  ends,  two  inactive 
coils  should  be  allowed  for  squaring. 


250 


HANDBOOK  OF   STANDARD   DETAILS 


The  load  a  spring  will  sustain  can  be  increased  by  increasing  the 
diameter  of  the  wire,  diminishing  the  number  of  coils  or  decreasing 
the  outside  diameter.

ILLUSTRATION  OF  THE 
Required  a  spring  }/%'  0.  D.  that  will  give  a  resistance  of  42  Ibs.  when  compressed  to  a  length  of  3". 

1.  What  size  of  wire  is  required? 

2.  What  will  be  the  uncompressed  length  of  the  spring? 

3.  How  many  coils? 

In  the  table  we  follow  the  horizontal  column,  giving  the  values  of  D,  until  we  come  to  the  vertical  col 
captioned  .500  (1A"  0.  D.) 

Searching  down  this  column  we  find  45.7  Ibs.  as  the  nearest  W.  (safe  load)  value  to  the  42  Ibs.  required. 

Glancing  from  this  point  toward  the  left  we  find  the  size  wire  to  be  .092"  and  the  F  Value  (deflection  ol 
coil  under  one  Ib.)  to  be  .00063.

OF  THE  ABOVE  TABLE 

Assuming  that  the  spring  is  not  to  be  at  its  solid  height  when  compressed  to  the  specified  3"  we  have  3" 
divided  by  .092  equal  to  32.6  coils  as  the  number  in  the  solid  height  or  30  coils  as  a  desirable  number  for  the 
spring. 

There  being  28  free  coils  in  a  spring  containing  30  coils  we  have  28  multiplied  by  .  026  equal  to  .  728  as  the 
total  deflection  of  the  spring  when  resisting  a  load  of  42  Ibs. 

We  have  then:  .092  as  the  size  wire  required  3"  +  -  728  =  3 . 728  as  the  free  length.     Thirty  as  the  number 

Note:  The  above  tables  are  not  guaranteed  to  be  absolutely  correct,  as  allowances  have  to  be  made  for 
various  grades  of  material.  They  will,  however,  be  a  good  working  basis  for  general  estimating  and  experi- 
mental purposes.  [Copyrighted  by  W.  Barnes  Co.,  Bristol,  Conn.]

[A.  &  F.  Brown,  Elizabeth,  N.  J.J 

With  single  angle  couplings  the  angular  velocity  is  variable  and 
is  dependent  on  the  angle  of  inclination  of  the  shafts.  The  variation 
is  of  little  consequence  except  where  extreme  accuracy  is  required  as 
in  time  recording  machines. 

The  joint  shown  is  often  installed  in  line  shafts  of  motor  boats  and 
in  shafts  from  engine  to  driving  gear  on  the  rear  axle  of  automobiles. 

The  shafts  in  coupling  on  page  255  are  keyed  or  pinned  in,  while 
those  on  page  256  are  keyed  and  the  parts  held  together  by  bolts. 

Angle  couplings  are  sometimes  called  Hooke's  joints. 

The  type  shown  on  page  254  is  more  frequently  used  where  the 
angle  between  the  shafts  is  large.

MATERIALS   OF  MACHINE  PARTS 

Cast  Iron — weak  in  tension  and  strong  in  compression.  Tensile 
strength  22,500  Ibs.  per  sq.  in.,  compression  90,000.  Weight  per  cu. 
ft.  449  Ibs. 

Malleable  Iron — cast  iron  heated  in  retorts  with  an  oxide  of  iron. 
Malleable  iron  has  a  tough  outside  surface  like  wrought  iron  and  an 
interior  like  cast  iron.  Pipe  fittings  often  made  of  it.  Tensile 
strength  37,000  Ibs. 

Wrought  Iron — tough,  ductile,  weldable  but  cannot  be  tempered. 
Tensile  strength  50,000  Ibs.,  compression  55,000.  Weight  per  cu.  ft. 
485  Ibs. 

Composition  or  Brass— copper  65.3%,  zinc  32.7%.  lead  2%.  The 
lead  content  makes  a  soft  brass  that  can  be  readily  machined.  Navy 
brass  62%  copper,  36  to  37%  zinc,  1  to  1^%  tin.  Weight  per  cu. 
ft.  505  Ibs. 

Cast  Steel— has  a  lower  carbon  content  than  cast  iron,  and  is  used 
for  parts  which  would  be  too  weak  if  made  of  iron.  Tensile  strength 
60,000  Ibs.  Weight  per  cu.  ft.  490  Ibs. 

Bronze — as  ordinarily  understood  is  an  alloy  of  copper  and  tin, 
varying  from  8  to  25%  of  tin.  Other  metals  may  be  added  as  phos- 
phorus, making  an  alloy  known  as  phosphor  bronze  containing  82.2% 
copper,  12.95%  tin,  4.28%  lead  and  .52%  phosphorus.  This  bronze 
has  a  tensile  strength  of  about  50,000  Ibs.  Weight  per  cu.  ft. 
508  Ibs.

TAPER  PINS 

The  pins  should  force  the  parts  together,  and  in  proper  relation  to 
each  other  when  driven  home,  thus  preventing  the  pins  from  work- 
ing loose.  They  are  made  of  steel  and  finished  all  over.

HANDBOOK  OF  STANDARD  DETAILS 


GAUGES   FOR   PUNCHING 

As  punching  injures  the  metal  around  the  hole,  the  hole  should  be 
punched  ^6  in-  smaller  than  the  rivet  and  then  reamed,  the  finished 
hole  being  about  He  m-  greater  than  the  diameter  of  the  rivet.  The 
burr  caused  by  punching  must  be  removed  before  the  parts  are 
riveted  together. 

Drilled  holes  are  He  m-  larger  than  the  bolt  or  rivet.  When  holes 
are  drilled,  the  metal  is  not  injured  as  in  punching.  For  boilers  the 
plates  are  drilled,  as  they  are  also  in  many  cases  for  tanks.

The  spacing  of  the  rivets  longitudinally  in  structural  shapes  de- 
pends on  the  loads  to  be  carried.  In  ship  work  the  rivet  spacing 
in  frames,  beams  and  stiffeners  is  given  in  the  classification  rules 
(Lloyds  or  American  Bureau  of  Shipping)  under  which  the  ship  is 
built.

METRIC  SYSTEM 

The  fundamental  units  are — meter  for  length,  liter  for  volume 
and  gram  for  weight.  Multiples  are  obtained  by  prefixing  deka  (10), 
hekto  (100)  and  kilo  (1,000),  and  divisions  by  deci  (1/10),  centi 
(1/100)  and  milli  (1/1000).  Abbreviations  of  the  multiples  begin 
with  a  capital  letter,  and  of  the  divisions  with  a  small. 

MEASURES  OF  LENGTH 

10  millimeters  (mm.)  =  1  centimeter  cm. 

10  centimeters  =  1  decimeter  dm. 

10  decimeters  =  1  meter  m. 

10  meters  =  1  dekameter  Dm. 

10  dekameters  =  1  hektometer  Hm. 

10  hektometers  =  1  kilometer  Km.

100  square  millimeters  (mm.2)    =     I  square  centimeter  cm.2 

100  square  centimeters  =     1  square  decimeter  dm.2 

100  square  decimeters  =     1  square  meter  m.2 

MEASURES  OF  VOLUME 

1000  cubic  millimeters  (mm.3)    =     1  cubic  centimeter  cm.3 

1000  cubic  centimeters  =     1  cubic  decimeter  dm.3
