Página 7 - ... usefully employed where hardness is necessary, and where its brittleness is not a defect ; but it should not be chosen for purposes where strength is necessary. When it is cast smooth, it makes excellent bearings for gudgeons or pivots to run upon, and is very durable, having very little friction.

Página 8 - ... the shrinkage is different, which causes an unequal tension among the parts of the metal, impairs its strength, and renders it liable to sudden and unexpected failures. When the texture is not uniform, the surface of the casting is usually uneven where it ought to have been even. This unevenness, or the irregular swells and hollows on the surface of a casting, is caused by the unequal shrinkage of the iron of different qualities.

RULE. — Multiply the power in Ibs. by the length of the shaft in feet, and by the leverage in feet ; divide the product by fifty-five times the number of degrees in the angle of torsion, and the fourth root of the quotient equal the shaft's...
