  • What Is A "Horse Power?" In May issue of "Cranes Valve World" we find an article entitled the "Relation of Horse power to Kilowatt." It is not our intention to reprint the entire article as it would probably be of especial interest to the steam and electrical departments only, but we feel that, the following paragraphs, which we clipped, may interest a vast majority of our readers. "The term "horsepower" as a measure of the activity of machinery was introduced by Thomas Savery, the inventor of an early typ- of steam engine. The earliest application of the steam engine was in the pumping of water from mines, work which had formerly been done by horses. Savery in his Miners' Friend, page 29. in the year 1702, says that an engine which will raise as much water as 2 horses working continuously in a given number of hours will do the work or labor of about 10 horses, since relays of horses must be used to keep the work going continous- ]y, aunh an engine, then, he called a 10-horsepower engine. "James Watt, who is generally known as the inventor of the : steam engine, adopted the term "horsepower" as a unit for expressing the power of his steam engine and defined its value in gravitational units; viz., foot-pounds per minute. The magnitude of Watt's horsepower was. iiowever, six or eight times as great asSavery's. The value A'as derived from experiments made under the direction of WTatt and Boulton. his business partner mattMiia eight Irom the bottom ol a deep well j by pulling horizon-tally on a rope j. passing over a pulley.

Watt added 50 per cent to this value, giving 33,000 foot-pounds per .minute, or 550 foot-pound* pe second.

SAFETY FIRST Suggestions Injure No One "If a suggestion was adopted doing away with one man's work, would he be laid off?" That question was asked of the Management a few days ago by an employee. Possibly you have had the same idea in your own mind. In the reply to the question, the management made it plain that a man who can suggest a method of saving lafor is too valuable to lose, and that not only will he receive an award for his suggestion, but he will profit tar more indirectly. Just such suggestions, out the authors in line for advancement. Only a little while ago a suggestion of this sort was received. The work done by the author and one other employee was rendered unnecessary.
