Fay & Co. jig-saw; one J. A. Fay & Co. jointer; eight teninch wood lathes; one eighteen-inch pattern-maker's lathe; one No. 4 E. Fox trimmer, together with a complete equipment of small tools. The foundry occupies a room 48 by 48 feet in the Metal Shops, and is equipped with a twenty-four-inch Whiting patent cupola, a core oven, and the necessary sand, Iadels, and flasks for making castings. A No. 7 Buffalo steel pressure fan furnishes blast for the cupola. The forge shop occupies a room 36 by 48 feet in the Metal Shops, and contains ten latest improved Buffalo down-draft forges. Blast is furnished these forges by a No. 5 Sturtevant pressure blower, and all gases of combustion are exhausted under ground by means of a No. 9 Sturtevant exhaust fan.
