NAVAL ENGINEERS
INVENT ENGRAVER
New Device Makes Charts and
Maps in Metal.
22 Years Ago
Washington. A new method of en
graving charts and maps In metal has
been devised by the United States
hydrographlc office of the Navy de
partment. This process, the iven-w
tlon of J. H. Larrahee and T. Peter
Lampe, engineers of that office, re
sults in Increased accuracy and a con
siderable saving in time, as its opera-
iiim per mi is me engineer uj v-uinpne
charts and maps directly on metal
printing plates without the necessity
of preparing a finished drawing.
. Tills machine, named the Pantos-graver
by its inventors, produces a
chart plate from which charts nra
made which contain oceanograpliic
nnd topographic features necessary to
navigation, these plates being ap
proximately 90 per cent complete when
they leave the machine.
As partial evidence of the value of
this machine, Mr. Larrahee said, one
rf Ita nf f nrhmtinta fnr pnorrnvinfr
Foundings easily can engrave 4,500
I'gures in a day, whereas a skilled
lianil-eneraver can. engfavft. only about
300. ''
Laying an acid-proof etching ground
o?i a highly polished copper plate, the
operator sets the instrument for the
required reduction and compensation,
to make, allowance for any distortion
of the tracing original, due to paper
shrinkage, m6isture or other causes.
Orefully following the design on the
data print, the operator transfers the
design by the pantograph principle to
the copper plate by means of a dia
mond point, varying the depth ' and
width of the lines by weights sup
ported by this engraving tool.
Although there are a few symbols
which the machine cannot insert, it
was pointed out, such as bluffs and
sanded beaches, it is possible to attain
absolute uniformity in the . various
symbols used In navigation as well
as in the lettering, another of its In
genious devices being a method of in
serting lettering on a curved line.
Infant Is Rescued
by Novel Operation
Brooklyn, N. Y. Removal of a cop
per ring with a bronchoscope recently
from the throat of Joseph Kesselman,'
thirleen-months-old son of Mr. and
Mrs. Leo Kesselman, Intercepted the
possible death of the child from chok
ing at the United Israel Zion hospital.
About a month ago Joseph was play
ing with a toy and In some manner he
detached the ring and put it In his
mouth. The parents were aware of
the Incident at the time, but took no
alarm.
Later the child developed .difficulty
in swallowing, and after an examina
tion the family physician ordered him
to the hospital. An X-ray picture was
taken, which showed the ring lodged
behind the windpipe. , The baby re
mained there for observation and two
days later a second picture showed no
Elgns of the trouble maker.
Despite the evident departure, Jo
seph continued to swallow with In
creasing hardship and a third picture
again exposed the ring. By this time
the child could hardly make a sound.
With an instrument known as the
bronchoscope, consisting of a long
metal tube about half an inch in diam
eter and a small hook attached to a
tempered wire, the ring was removed
without any incision.
The tube, fitted with a small electric-light
bulb, was inserted in the
child's throat. It was then a simple
matter to reach down with the hooked
wire and entract the ring.
"The process is similar to fishing,"
paid ope of the doctors, "only in this
Instance yon do not wait for the fish."
Recovery was speedy apd the child
returned home the next day.
