THE REMINGTON DROP HAMMER.
The Remington drop hammer, the cut of which appears on this page, is of that class in which the hammer is raised by a stiff belt or board passing up between two friction rolls, and is so well known that we only describe the improvements.
These consist in the lifting arrangements being detached from the upright ways, and in such a manner that the lifter gets no far from the hammer, as it does in other drops. The lifter is made of a peculiar style adapted to this class of machines, very strong in all its parts. The friction rolls running parallel with each other are keyed strongly on a three-inch shaft, and run in fixed bearings. One of the shafts is turned on an eccentric, and on the end of this there is a shackle or adjustable lever, which is connected with a rod which runs down by the ways, and is connected with the base. On this rod are two damns, which are easily adjustable, to vary the height of the hammer, in order to give a light or heavy blow. An automatic trip is connected with the catch bar in such a manner as to enable the operator to readily give any number of blows he may require, and at the same time have free use of his hands. The lifter can be used with any other drop. For further information address E. Remington & Sons, Ilion, N. Y.
