Empire Portable Forges
The use of portable forges is extending very rapidly. With a few tools as accessories, they each may be considered a portable blacksmith shop. One of the most successful forms of portable forge, operated without belts or bellows or any perishable attachment, is the Empire, manufactured at Troy, N. Y., by the Empire Portable Forge Co. The cut designated Fig. 1 represents a style designed for indoor or shop work, of which four sizes are made. They are made of cast iron, with a hood shutting up closely to confine the sparks, and to which a stove-pipe may be attached, making it as safe as a stove. Fig. 2 represents a small cheap forge for light work, suitable for mounting on a work bench. Fig. 3 represents a class of wrought iron portable forges, which are largely used by boiler makers, bridge builders, and for general railroad repairs. The Company make twenty-five sizes of Empire Forges. |
