Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing a Clear Exposition of Their Principles and Practice According to Franke, the constituents of stick-lac are, resin, 65-7; substance of the lac, 28-3 coloring matter, 0-6. Sced-lac. - When the resinous concretion is taken off the twigs, coarsely pounded, and triturated with water in a mortar, the greater part of the coloring matter is dissolved, and the granular portion which remains, being dried in the sun, constitutes seed-lac. It con tains of course less coloring matter than the stick-lac, and is much less soluble. John found in 100 parts of it, resin, 66-7; wax, 1-7; matter of the lac, 16-7; bitter balsamic matter, 2-5; coloring matter, 3-9; dun yellow extract, 0-4; envelopes of insects, 2-1; laceie acid, 0-0; salts of potash and lime, 1-0; earths, 6-6; loss, 4-2.

It therefore instantly disappears if water be introduced into ajar of it; some caloric is evolved, and the specific gravity of the water is diminished. If ice be introduced into this gas, it melts and absorbs the ammonia, while at the same time its temperature is diminished. The specific gravity of water saturated with ammonia, at 60 is.9054. It is the attraction of water for ammonia, which renders it necessary to employ mercury in obtaining the gasWater combined with ammonia, acquires its smell, and has a disagreeable taste; it converts vegetable blues to green. It is this liquid solution of ammonia which is meant in speaking of the volatile alkali. VVhen heated to the temperature pt 130, the ammonia separates in the form of gas. Whep its temperature is reduced to--46, it crystallizes; and when suddenly cooled down to 68, it assumes the appearance of a thick jelly, and has scarcely any smell. Compound substances--Alkalies.--Ammonia. Ammonia may be obtained by the dry distillation of bones and other animal matters; it is from such substances that it is obtained to supply the demand of commerce, and it is sold under the name of spirits of hartshorn. The product of the first distillation from bones, &c. is very impure; it is therefore improved by repeated distillations. Berthollet's experiments evinced that one thousand parts of ammonia consists of 807 parts of nitrogen, and 193 parts of hydrogen; but Sir H. Dayj having discovered oxygen to' be the alkalizing principle in potass and soda, was convinced of the probability of its existing in ammonia. His researches confirmed this opinion, and he concludes the proportion of oxygen in ammonia to be at least 7 or 8 per cent. He also succeeded in separating from it a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of Arts, Manufactures, and Mines, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing a Clear Exposition of Their Principles and Practices Knife-cleaning. - Specimens of those very useful machines which have lately been introduced for cleaning knives and forks are to be found in the building, and demand some notice. Mr. Kent's machine consists of a box or case, containing a couple of wooden discs, fixed near to each other upon a horizontal iron rod or spindle, which passes through the case, and is caused to rotate by means of a winch-handle. Each disc is, for about three-fourths of the area of its inner face, covered with alternate rows of bristles and strips of leather; and the remaining fourth part is covered with bristles only. The knife-blades to be cleaned are introduced through openings in the case, between the rubbing surfaces of the discs; and rotatory motion being given to the discs by a winch-handle, the knives are rapidly cleaned and polished. The machines exhibited by Mr. Masters are constructed upon the same plan as the above; but the rubbing surface of each disc is formed of strips of buff leather, with only a narrow circle of bristles around the edge of each surface, to clean the shoulders of the knives; small brushes are fixed beneath the holes in the case, through which the blades of the knives are inserted, to prevent the exit of dust from the apparatus. Mr. Price exhibited a machine for cleaning knives, and another for cleaning forks. The knife-cleaner consists of a horizontal drum, covered with pieces of leather or felt, and fixed within another drum or circular framing, lined with leather or felt. The knives are introduced through openings, in a movable circular plate, at the front of the outer casing, and enter between the surfaces of the two drums. The plate is fixed upon a horizontal axis, which extends through the case, and is furnished at the back With a handle; by turning which the disc is caused to rotate and carry round the long rectangular opening in the side, behind which two brushes are fixed face to face. Between these brushes the prongs of the forks are introduced, and the handles are secured in a carrier, which is made to advance and recede alternately by means of a throw-crank, and thereby thrust the prongs, into and draw them out of contact with the brushes. The carrier consists of two metal-plates, the lower one carrying a cushion of vulcanized India-rubber for the fork handles to rest upon, and the upper being lined with leather; they are hinged together at one end, and are connected at the other, when the handles have'been placed between them, by a thumb-screw.

Excerpt: ...of two inches from the same centre; the two weights R and S, though in the proportion of 2 to 1, will balance each other. The pulley. If the weight S were only two ounces, it would produce the same effect upon R, provided its distance from the fulcrum were proportioned to the diminution of its weight; that is, if it were three times as far from the centre c, as R. We have now to shew that the moveable pulley acts like a lever of the second order. Let the moveable pulley A, fig. 4, fl. II, be fixed to the weight W, with which it rises and falls, n comparing it with the lever alluded to, the fulcrum must be considered as at F; the weight acts upon the centre c, by means of the neck ch; the power is applied at D; and the line DF will represent the lever. The power, therefore, .as in fig. 3, is twice as far from the fulcrum as the weight, and the effect in both cases is alike, viz. the proportion between the power and the weight, in order to balance each other, must be as 1 to 2. It is evident, therefore, that the use of this pulley doubles the power, and that it will enable a Mtu to raise twice as much as by his strength alone. Or, as variety in illustration will sometimes catch the attention, and familiarize a subject to some whose ideas of it would not otherwise be distinct, the action of this pulley may be viewed in a light somewhat different from the above. Every moveable pulley may be considered as hanging by two ropes equally stretched, and which must consequently bear equal Earls of the weight; the rope FG being made fast at G, alf the weight is sustained by it, and the other part of the rope, to which the power is applied, has only the other halt of the weight to support; consequently the advantage gained is as 2 to 1. When, as in..
