STEEL SPLIT PULLEYS

DODGE SALES AND ENGINEERING COMPANY of Mishawaka, Indiana
through its many Branch Warehouses, District Organizations and their accredited Sales Agencies throughout the world.
Foundation of the Pulley Industry 1882 Addition of the Steel Split Pulley 1917 liodge American System Rope Transmission
Human progress, whether social, political or indus
trial, has always been measured by the ability of the
person, the party or the organization to render service
to others.
The rewards of true service-giving come naturally
and quickly to him who is continually seeking that de
velopment which will afford the opportunity to expand
his present service.
Thirty-five years ago Wallace H. Dodge conceived
the idea of a split pulley made of hardwood, embodying
the fundamental principles of compression shaft fas
tening, and of an Interchangeable bushing system.
In this original Dodge idea was the basis for a new commercial and economic de
velopment which is now recognized as one of the most important branches of industrial
engineering. i
The Dodge Bushing System of 1882 remains unchanged in 1917; through its inter
changeability a range of 108,000 pulleys with fixed bores, faces and diameters may be
covered by an extrvne total of 2,700 pulleys of standardized bores and 40 bushings
of proper shaft dimensions; this is the Dodge idea from the commercial viewpoint.
From the economic viewpoint the factory owner now buys one pulley
which may be fitted to 40 shafts instead of one, at the slight cost of a
new bushing. In consequence, a pulley purchase of today is regarded as
a permanent asset.
Thus as early as 1882 Wallace EL Dodge, founder of Dodge Manufac
turing Company, was acknowledged the inventor, natentee and toaster
of the principles which today govern the manufacture of all stock pulleys.
Addition of "Standard" Cast Iron Split Pulley 1900
In 1900, the "Standard" Cast Iron Split Pulley, using
similar metallic interchangeable bushings, was added to
the Dodge line by purchase; for even then the split bushed
pulley was being copied in other materials than the orig
inal wood type.
The "Standard" Iron Split Pulley met with immediate
favor in industry the world over; that first demand for a
metallic pulley decreed as absolutely essential those same
qualities of strength and perfect balance possessed by the
original wood type
Pulley users were unwilling then, as now, to accept
lightness alone as a substitute for true-running and durability. At this time the
"Standard" Iron Split Pulley was the only metallic pulley which would maintain, an
absolutely round shape under all conditions of belt strain, a requisite necessary for
efficiency of operation.
Thus the "Standard" Iron Split Pulley became a part of the Dodge line fullborn; a
product that had profited by and attained perfection through the pioneer invention
of Mr. Dodge and the experience of others.
Dodge Iron Center Wood Rim Pulley
As the necessity for high speeds and unusual strains
increased the Dodge Iron Center Wood Rim Pulley was
developed to meet those severe conditions where rim veloci
ties far exceeded recognized limits.
It was discovered that increased strength against cen
trifugal stress was not to be attained by increasing the
thickness of the rim. Cast iron and wood had proved to be
two great pulley materials; their combined use was neces
sary in the perfection of this product for use as main driv
ers and for that particular service which involves a con
stantly recurring shock load or "hammer blow."
There is no pulley made which can be, and which is, balanced with the degree of
accuracy which obtains in the case of the Dodge Iron Center Wood Rim Pulley. It in
variably represents a conservative investment.
I
Dodge Branch Warehouses in the United States
And now, in 1917, we announce the further addition
of the steel type of split pulley as the final justification
of the Dodge Slogan, "A Perfect Pulley for Every Place
Oneida
Steel Type
Keystone
Steel Type
Our final satisfaction in this announcement is two-fold; first, in
being the only pulley manufacturer in the entire world who may
offer, without prejudice, the proper type of pulley for the work
in hand; and, second, in the .knowledge that we are furnishing,
in every case, the highest development of pulley construction,
whether of wood, iron or steel.
, Dodge Hangers and Bearings
It is generally understood that a hanger must act In the
capacity of an anvil, to absorb the shocks and blows of shaft vibra
tion. Sufficient strength is essential. -
In the Dodge line of adjustable ball and socket hangers there
Is strength, durability and interchangeability.
Dodge hangers of the drop, post and bracket type are carried
in stock by all Dodge dealers. It was possible during the tremen
dous increase of industrial equipment during 1916 to 6hip Dodgehangers in thousand
lots of a single size out of stock.
Dodge Self-Oiling Bearings, either capillary or ring type,
need no introduction to factory owners. Their dependability
and efficiency are so well recognized throughout the entire indus
trial field that their specification is practically universal as the
most reliable "roadbed for power."
Dodge Solid and Split Friction Clutches
Dodge Friction Clutches, as the means of independent
control over machines, groups of machines, countershafts or
' q main drivers, are in use in every important orancn oi lnaus-

Dodge Clutches are made for all kinds of service, for light
or heavy loads, or for slow or high epeeds. These clutches are separ
ate and distinct mechanisms in themselves, and are not in any way
a part of the pulley, sheave, gear or sprocket which may be used
in connection ,with them.
Dodge Clutches are manufactured in stock sizes from 10 inches to 72 inches, with
respective horsepower ratings of from 6 to 1500, always assuming that such a rating
is sufficient under the capacity of' the clutch to allow fr an ample margin of safety.
Dodge Rope Drives are now univer
sally employed because of their wide
adaptability for an unusual range of
service conditions.
As a method of power transmission
the American system of transmission
devised by Mr. Wallace H. Dodge and
Mr. W. B. Hosford offers:
First : As against belt drives in gen
eral, an appreciable saving in first cost of installation.
Second: An additional saving in depreciation of equipment. In belt
drives the most expensive part of the installation is the belt itself, which
Is also, the portion upon which the most wear occurs. Rope is the least ex
pensive factor in the Dodge System of Power Transmission and therefore
replaced at considerably less cost.
Third : An advantage in the quick picking up of power, the grip of the
continuous rope wrapped round and round the laboring sheaves being
equivalent to that of the mooring rope around a capstan.
Fourth: An unlimited capacity for turning corners, passing over or
around obstructions, communicating power to isolated buildings, or trans
mitting energy from the platform of a grain elevator, let us say, straight
to the roof.
Fifth: Contrasted with electrical transmission, less than a quarter of
the first cost, often less than a tenth ; less cost for maintenance ; and a sys
tem that the unskilled millwright can master in a day.
Dodge Rope Drives are installed throughout the world, principally in the
establishments of those manufacturers who are seeking the most efficient
method of the transportation of power between the driving force and the
' driven mechanism. Only in the Dodge line the power user may find "Every
thing for the mechanical transmission of power."
All are products worthy of the name "Dodge"; by the performance of
each we are ready to stand or fall, according to our recommendation for
their use. '
Dodge Service is country-wide; with Branch Warehouses and Sales
Agencies in every important city of America, the buyer of transmission
equipment is assured of prompt and efficient service.
Further completeness of the Dodg6
Line must come, eventually and inevit
ably; such additional progress is entirely
dependent upon the further perfection of
men and metals, and not upon our deter
mination to so serve the interests of in
dustry at large that you may feel justi
fied, and, in a measure, obliged to specify
Dodge Products for all exacting power
transmission requirements.

at Mishawaka. Indiana, you may receive,
without further obligation, any one or more of the three books.
