An interesting address on "The Machinery for
Marketing Machinery." was presented at the an­
The application of the principal of centralization
to compressed air work, while a comparatively new
departure, is attracting much attention in the
engineering world. A pamphlet that will be
appreciated by those interested in the subject has
just been issued by the Ingersoll-Sergeant Drill
Co. It describes the central compressed air power
plant of the Cleveland Stone Co., at Amherst, O.
Work was begun on the plant in July of last year.
The system, covering the ground as originally intended,
has been in operation since the early part
of this year. But extensions are now under way
which will mean an increase of about 50 per cent.
over the original scope of the enterprise. The
present installation handles the output of the
Gray Canon quarry, the largest sandstone quarry
in the world; but the air lines are being extended
to supply power to two neighboring quarries. The
system is a typical example of me modern idea
of centralized and economical power replacing a
number of scattered units operating at low economy
and under unfavorable conditions.
