Lubrication is secured by placing a store of oil, in the chambers F, of
the segmental bearings B, from which it is fed, as wanted, through the
apertures G, to the bearing surfaces of the spindle and bush. Lastly,
the exclusion of dust and grit is secured by forming a chamber H, upon
the top plate of the bush, with an annular cap which shuts down over it,
and encloses the spindle, in which chamber is placed packing yarn or
other suitable material to intercept all extraneous material of this
character.
The top plate is bolted down to the external portion of the bush, and
the whole enclosed, as shown in Fig. 1.
All experienced millers are aware that the attainment of the above
objects by a simple device is a very desirable achievement. By the use
of this improvement the adjustment can be readily and accurately made,
and the wear of the spindle is reduced to a minimum.
We can fit any size spindle from 3½ to 5 inches diameter, and have
three sizes of bushes, 7½, 8½ and 9½ inches square. In ordering
bushes, all that is necessary is to state the diameter of neck of
spindle and size of eye in bed stone, and the proper size bush will be
shipped. Satisfaction guaranteed.
We have some half dozen different patterns of bushes ranging in price
from $2 to $20--some having three and some four followers for wood or
metal.
Lighter Screws and Hand Wheels.
[Illustration]
These engravings illustrate the style of hand wheel and screw with cap
and washer that we make and furnish with our combined husk mills, and
when ordered we send them with the irons needed with mill stones. The
figure on the right shows the hand wheel, screw cap and washer in
position when ready for operation. The wrought iron screw is cut in a
lathe and is what is termed a square thread. The wheel cap and washer
are all turned and polished, making a good looking, durable fixture, as
well as an accurate means of adjusting the stone. We sometimes make
these of brass.
Lighter Levers and Arched Step.
[Illustration]
This shows our pattern for arched bridge pot and lighter lever for
geared mills or when an elevated step is wanted. The part holding the
steel on which spindle rests, is contained in a central lifting chamber,
which is turned to fit the body of the arch, like a piston, thus
allowing a perfect perpendicular movement without any liability to vary
from its true position; the heavy set-screw at the rear end of the lever
is to admit of more adjustment; the lever can be moved around at most
any required angle without interfering with any part of the step. We
provide means (not shown in this cut) to tram the spindle by screws
placed in the central lift part of the step, when desired.
