hlectricity in Slecl>Maklnt. In any aummary of the causes of our ‘utceas in sterl uianufactnre, great stress must be laid upon the early and multiplied adaptation oi electricity as a motive power in the thousand and ni«.- uses' to wbkh it has so admirably Icjn itself. Among other applications that come to tnmd. theje are: The overliead traveling Electric crane; the electric charging machine that picks up box containing % ton of mixture, thrusts it into the furnace and empties and withdraw;, it. tlie cfectric conveyer; the eicctrtc elevator for loading the blast furnaces; the electric buggies that receive the heated ingot after it has been lifted from the soaking pits and run it down to the mdl; electric machines for pushing the blooms in at one end of the furnace, and electric tongs for gripping them and pulling them at the other. These are few- of the s of electricity.
