AWARDS OF PREMIUMS. 49 



and for keeping tlie fire alive wliile not in use without the un- 

 necessary consumption of fuel are quite ingenious, and might be 

 adopted with advantage in ordinary smitheries. 



This time and labor saving apparatus was exhibited by Mr. 

 G. P. Hewett, Hardware Dealer, No. 93 East Water Street, Mil- 

 waukee ; but the manufactory is in New York. They are made 

 of six different sizes, and at prices varying from $16 to $45. 

 They are useful for blacksmiths, coppersmiths, gunsmiths, gold- 

 smiths, farmers, quarrymen, brick-makers, gas-fitters, chemists, 

 miners, &c., &c. They are often employed on steam-boats and 

 for repairs on Railroads, &;c. From the printed circular of the 

 manufacturers we gather the following additional particulars : 



" The Forge can be set where most convenient for light and 

 room, and the smoke conducted to the chimney by a pipe. It 

 is compact — the Twier Iron is of a superior construction — heats 

 the iron in the quickest manner — the wind escapes from the hot 

 air chamber through several holes in the twier cap, which being 

 under the fire, prevents the twier from getting filled up with 

 coal and ashes, as it will where there is but one opening. For 

 out-door work and for safety in-doors, these Forges have great 

 advantages over others, having two slides by which the Forge 

 can be closely shut up, or can be placed in any possible position 

 necessary to prevent any interference to the fire by wind or rain 

 when in use out-doors, and for safety and many purposes in- 

 doors, (particularly for Jewelers, Dentists and for chemical ope- 

 rations,) all the fumes from charcoal and acids being conducted 

 through the smoke pipe, or when open they are entirely out of 

 the way ; and they are so constructed that fire or water cannot 

 injure the Bellows, which is in the cylinder under the fire bed."
