(He was a most excellent mechanic, with peculiar ideas of his own : for instance, he pre- vailed on my father to allow him to put in the lining-brick of No. 2 furnace in spiral instead of horizontal lines; and inas- much as one way was about as good as another, my father gave his consent. ) The blowing-apparatus for this furnace had 2 horizontal cylinders of 5-ft. Diameter and 6-ft. Stroke, driven by 2 Four- neyron turbines of 8-ft. Outside diameter and 15-in. Depth of bucket. On the upper end ...of the turbine-shafts was a 30-in. Pinion geared into a heavy horizontal cog-wheel of 8-ft. Diameter and 10-in. Face, in which were inserted the crank- pins, and to these were coupled the necessary connecting-rods and cross-heads to drive the cylinders. Each machine was separate and was operated independently. All this machinery was made by Merrick & Towne, Southwark Foundry, Philadel- phia. The blast was conducted to No. 2 furnace through the same pipe, under the canal, as to No. 1. The turbines proving great consumers of water, it became necessary to construct another canal as a feeder ; the current in the old canal being so great that it was almost impossible to tow a heavily-loaded boat against it, so that the water on the water-wheels frequently had to be checked, to permit boats to pass through.
