Not illustrated. 1876 edition. Excerpt: ...for about five hours. To go on was impossible, as our torches could not be kept burning: so we took refuge in a shed,--both men and horses were lodged in it,--and there we rested, our bearers all asleep around us, till four A.m., when we started once more, and reached home without further interruption at ten o'clock. June 26, 18--. My Dear M: There you have a faithful picture of a sugar-mill, such as we see in numbers in all the villages in this part of the country. I do not know whether they are different in other parts of India, as I never happened to see any till I came here. The bullocks walk round and round in a circle, drawing round the horizontal beam, upon which two men sit,--one at one end, to drive the bullocks, the other at the other end, feeding the mill with sugarcane, which is previously chopped up into pieces of about six inches' length. The end of the beam on which the driver sits is loaded with stones, in order to press down the top of the bent upright beam, to which it is suspended, as you see, by a chain. What is the use of that rude rectangular wooden frame to which the chain is fastened, and why the chain could not be fastened to the point of the upright beam itself, are questions not easily answered. If you asked the miller, he would think it quite sufficient to say that he makes his mill as his father did before him, (for these Hindoos are the most conservative people in the world.) But to proceed: the upright beam rests and turns round in a stone socket or basin, which is a good deal larger than the beam itself,--the spare space being filled up with pieces of sugar-cane. As the mill goes round, the heavy weight hanging from the top of the beam of course presses it against the side of the basin towards which it leans. The...

Our aim is to provide readers with the highest quality reproductions of fiction and non-fiction literature that has stood the test of time. The many thousands of books in our collection have been sourced from libraries and private collections around the world.The titles that Trieste Publishing has chosen to be part of the collection have been scanned to simulate the original. Our readers see the books the same way that their first readers did decades or a hundred or more years ago. Books from that period are often spoiled by imperfections that did not exist in the original. Imperfections could be in the form of blurred text, photographs, or missing pages. It is highly unlikely that this would occur with one of our books. Our extensive quality control ensures that the readers of Trieste Publishing's books will be delighted with their purchase. Our staff has thoroughly reviewed every page of all the books in the collection, repairing, or if necessary, rejecting titles that are not of the highest quality. This process ensures that the reader of one of Trieste Publishing's titles receives a volume that faithfully reproduces the original, and to the maximum degree possible, gives them the experience of owning the original work.We pride ourselves on not only creating a pathway to an extensive reservoir of books of the finest quality, but also providing value to every one of our readers.

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... is to be saved, and the blank is of no use, the face of the die is left perfectly flat and the end of the punch is sheared. Fig. 263. The cutting face of the die may be sheared by milling or planing to the desired angle which depends on the thickness of the stock to be punched and also the power of the press. A common method of shearing a die is shown in Fig. 267, which shows a section of a die used for punching a heavy spring. The end of the punch is left flat. The punching commencing at the center A, is continued with a gradual shearing cut as the punch descends until it reaches the ends BB, of the opening. The blank punched will be straight while the stock will bend somewhat unless it is quite stiff, in which case it springs back to shape when the pressure is removed. Fig. 264. When the punching requires an amount of power in excess of the capacity of the press, as in the case of the forging shown in Fig. 268, it is necessary to trim the flash occasioned by the process of drop forging, and at the same time punch the end to shape as shown in Fig. 269. It is obvious that the material removed is of no value as a product, and as it is necessary to use a light press, the die may be given a shear as shown in Fig. 270; thus making it possible to do the punching on a press whose capacity is not equal to the job if the die had been sheared as shown in Fig. 267. In order to facilitate the operation of grinding the face of a die, it is frequently made with a raised boss around the hole as shown in Fig. 271. Sectional Dies. In order to make it easier to work dies to shape, they are sometimes made in two or more pieces; these are fastened together when in use. In the case of a plain die of the form shown in Fig. 272, the die is made in two pieces...
