Replaced with only 4 sizes of Veclink

As many as 316 sizes of industrial and fractional endless V-belts can be replaced with only four reels of Veclink, the link V-belt. From these handy reels required belt lengths are quickly uncoupled, made endless and installed. Belt xéplacements for any type drive are always on hand.

The first spherical storage tanks to be cupplied to any of refinery in Britain have just been erected on the site of Bhell's new refinery at Stanlow, Ellesmere Port, on the Manchester Ship Canal. These three spherical tanks, designed and manufactured by a British firm, Whes- so Ltd. of Darlington, measure 35 ft.

Machines for brush manufacture

When it is remembered that in the month of January this year the number of dental and tooth brushes exported alone totalled 1,205,280, it is easy to understand that manufac- turing operations must be ex- pedited by remarkable effl- cient machinery.

The modern brush - making machines are not only efficient, but they also have a remarkable versatility in that, by means of a simple adjustment, it is pos sible to vary quickly the style of Urush being made.

The most recent development In the field of

machinery for brush making is the introduc- tion of an entirely new geared clum d

The new mechanism com"

prises a well-designed, compact, and totally enclosed gearbox by which the various movements of the maching are controlled, and many advantages are claimed for it. The greatest single bereit is the simplicity of the method of changing from one style of brush to another.

To alter the number of tufts in a brush involves the change of n single gear wheel and to vary other essential movements simple plate type cams are used.
