Show OXY-ACETYLENE IS A GOOD WELDING V.. E. Dariing, manager of the Mon-Kr.;h Mon-Kr.;h Motor conipanv, 123-125 East Second Sec-ond South street, distributor of Prest-O-Lite welding gas, yesterday said: "jluring the last' few years considerable consid-erable progress has been made in the autogenous welding of metals by the cxy-acetylene process, and recently engineers en-gineers have realized its undoubted possibilities pos-sibilities in lowering costs of production. produc-tion. As an adjunct to the tool room, the saving elteeted by this process has been particularlv noticeable. "In the construction of jigs of the built-up tvpe. oxv-acetylene welding will be found of the greatest possible benefit. The majority of them can be built up from oid pieces of material, while the use of intricate forgiugs is done awav with. Parts can also be welded quickly together thai from their shape could not be screwed with anv decree of security. Bosses, ribs, webs, etc., can be built up direct from tiie feed rod. allowing material of lighter section to be used, and dispensing dispens-ing with a great deal of maehinerj-. Snap and other gauges of the fixed-limit fixed-limit tvpe can be reclaimed, when worn out at' oulv a trifling cost, by adding new metal lo the jaws and regrinding to the proper size. This is only one of the innumerable ways that the oxy-acetvlene oxy-acetvlene plant handles, not only efficients ef-ficients and quickly, but very cheaply and neatly, the numberless jobs winch come into the tool room from day to day.
