HOfi FLIES INTO
SMALL PIECES
The 2500-pound rotor of the
old "hog" at the Oregon Pow
er company's plant, in use since
the mill closed, flew to -pieces
shortly before neen Saturday,
tossing several large fragments
through the roof of the house
but missing, by narrow margins
the workmen engaged in feed
ing slabwoo'd into the machine.
The heavy casting surrounding
the machine was also wrecked.
What caused the accident is
,not known. The rotor was of
cast iron, while present prac
tice is to make' them of cast
steel. It was running at a rate
of 900 revolutions per minute,
which gave a velocity of some
11,000 feet per second to the
outer rim of the rotor. Centri
fugal force would cause the
breaking of the wheel as soon
as a -weakness developed.
Now that the hog Is ioiit, of
