THE SHANGHAI COTION MILLS

|

Visitors to Shanghai on coming up the river would naturally observe that the Glasgow of the East is fast becoming also the Manchester of these parts. The wave of Westernisation in the direction of manufacturing industry, has, at | last swept over the land in spite of all official obstruction, thanks to the Chino-Japanese | treaty, concluded after the war. The many mills with which both the banks of the river. are studded are well worth a visit, though the description of one will almost do duty for all.

The three mills on the Yangtzepoo Road were built simultaneously and there was a bit of a race as to which would be a going concern firet. The Loou Kung Maw won the day and should therefore be considered the pioneer Mill in Shanghai. It is owned by a limited lability company and the opening ceremony took place on the roth March, 1897, under the presidency of Sir (then Mr.) C. J. Dudgeon, the Chairman of the Board of Directors,

The mill occupies a large area of ground, Just at the gateway in an unpretentious fitile

building is the manager's office. Passing this, one comes to the main building, which is the mill proper. But to begin the inspection with the engine room one has to go to the rear of the mill where the engine building is situated. The building is raised' some six feet above ground and the doorway is approached by a broad flight of stone steps Once inside. it will become apparent that ample provision has been made for elbow room and free admission of light and air in case ofany future expansion. The room is 70 feet long by 30 feet wide and,

30 feet high. Overhead is a powerful traveller for use in lifting any of the heavy 'parts of the engines which may be required to be moved for inspection, cleaning or repairs. The engines, it need hardly be said, are a standing testimony of the thoroughness and solidity of British workmanship. They are by. Vates and Thom of Blackburn and built on the triple expansion system and are horizontal with

releases the door which slips gylilotine wise into iron fastenings where it effectually closes the aperture and prevents the issuing of or smoke. Underneath the ground floor of the scutching room are several tuppels through which by a powerful current of air the inflam- mable dust of the mill in drawn off and blown: Into the open air, having its outlet near the chimney shaft, which is built of red brick, 195 feet high and 20 feet square at the bare.

We have to the best of our ability essayed to given clear description of the various machinery. but some of them are such marvels of human invention or ingenuity that their details baffle comprehensive description. A visit therefore to the mill would not only prove amusing but highly instructive.-Shanghai Mercury,

which is grooved for twenty-nine ropes and this huge wheel is twenty-four feet in diameter, six feet wide, and weighs forty-two tone. The ropes running carry the power to the main lines of shafting whence it is supplied all over the buildings to be served. The arrangements for lubrication are such that it is possible not only to keep the engines sufficiently oiled but also to keep them free from dust and super- fluous oil with ease and perfect safety, The en- gines are named Isabelle and Sofia, after Lady Dudgeon and Mr. Anderson, the spouses of

Two of the Directors.

The next place to visit in the bailer house, which is 70 feet long by 45 feet bread and 'roofed with galvanised iron. Here are three Lancashire boilers each 30 feet long by 8 feet in diameter with a working pressure of 180 lbs. The boilers which were solidly bricked in and covered with non-conducting composition were constructed by Thomas Feeley of Hyde, Manchester. The power plant on the whole is of a very costly pattern but the economy in fuel has amply repaid for the capital ex penditure.

The scutching room to be seen next contalas machinery by Lord Bros. of Todmorden. In these the raw material goes through its first process. Straight form the pod as it were the fibre is placed into a feeder and delivered automatically to the opener, thence it passed Into a scutcher attached and thence in the form of a lap to an intermediate and afterwards a finishing scutcher. From here to the carding engines and finally to the spinning machines. where the material comes out in the form of yam. The main building, where these pro- cesses are carried out is 425 feet long by 120 feet wide and consists of a ground and upper floor. On the ground floor are the cording engines, scutchers, and other heavy machinery and on the upper the spinning machinery have

been put up. Here are provisions for 50,000

spindles. Each spindle when working makes 7,000 revolutions per minute. The spinning machinery is by Tweedales and Smalley of Castleton, Lancashire. The numerous auto- matic registering contrivances to record the the minutest details are marvels of ingenuity. The whole of the upper floor is splendidly lighted and the ventilation is perfect through- out, considering the large number of oporatives that are employed here. The roof is slightly pitched rising 1 in 30 from the sides to the centro which allows a sufficient fall for rain water, to catch which is a specially designed gutter running all round the building, and the principal features of which are rapid disposal of water and freedom from leakage.

Part of the lower portion of the building is screened off for a packing room where the packing is done by means of an hydraulic machine.

Within the compound is a huge tank dug out
