' years, Heat treating steel includes hardening, considerable uncertainty tempering and annealing. The carbon content of • in the area of demand and cost - steel determines if it can be hardened for tem -..the cost un- steel and annealing. Steel with less than 30 per certainties are grain, cent carbon will not harden noticeably. Hardening means making steel harder. This is done by heating the steel to a cherry colour and cooling it quickly in water or oil. Hardened steel is not only extremely hard; but also brittle. Hardening is the first stage in tempering. 1 btth d d empering stee means o arnii ng a es re hardness and toughness in metal. The degree of hardness, ., brittleness, or toughness is deter- mined by the job expected of the steel. In some tempering jobs, such as for a cold chisel,,, a degree of toughness takes the place of the - brittleness. Just for example, a cold chisel is heated to cherry red and the cutting end is cooled .quickly and polished with either a .file or a grinder. Colours can be observed moving from the still heated end towards the tip. The colours will. appear in this order; yellow, straw, brown, purple and blue. If you fail to recognize -the desired ccloiir and a gray colour appears, the metal will be annealed instead of tempered, and therefore, will be much too soft for use. A colour chart will appear at the end of this article: Following are the steps required to temper a cold chisel. (1) Heat about three inches of the cutting end " to cherry red. Do not overheat the thin part of the chisel. (2) Dip about one third of the heated part into water and agitate it slightly to prevent the for- ming ,of a sharp line between the hot end cold metal. Continue cooling the end until the cool portion can be touched lightly with the finger. (3) Quickly remove the chisel from the water and file or grind a bright surface on one side of the cutting end, so that the tempering colours may be observed, as they move to the cutting end. ._ (4) Hold the chisel with the point up and watch the colours carefully, as they move toward the cutting edge. When a purple colour reaches the cutting edge, quickly dip the heated end into the water and move it about rapidly for a few seconds. Then cool the entire chisel. After the chisel is. cooled • thoroughly, grind the cutting edge to the proper angle for cutting. You will note the, recommended colours for tempering various tobl.s in the following chart. Colour - yellow - kind of tool: scrapers, lathe cutting tools. Colour - straw - tool: pun-.ches', drills, knives. Colour a brown - tool: axes, wood chisels. Colour - purple - tool: " cold chisels, centre punches. -r. Colour - blue - tool: screwdrivers, springs, gears, saws. Colour - gray - soft, must be hardened again.• Bes t4n terest *124 SEMI-ANNUAL.

Goderich Elevator to expand dor ocean .boats The President of Goderich Elevators Limited has announced that the firm has begun a $600,000 expansion of its grain handling facilities at the Goderich harbour. George Parsons said a new, ship loading asystem will be - ins-talled to im- prove service to the vessels which take ,on grain at the Lake -Huron port:` • . A riew Ship:loading tower will be constructed next to the one the empany-currently has in operation. The additional tower will allow lake freighters td' receive grain from two loading spouts at the same time. • The Elevator's ship,. loading capabilities will increase- from 20,00.0 bushels per hour to 50,000 bushels per hour. Currently it takes approximately - th-ree A working days to load a maximum size lake freighter. Parsons said the increased capability would permit that same freighter to be filled in 16 working hours_... , The more efficient loading will mean less in harbour time for the ships, he said. The new tower will also allow . the company to load saltwater ships now. The ocean going vessels, which sit higher out of the water, than lake freighters, can not be accommodated by the tower currently in use. - "We'll be in a better position to ship export corn", said Parsons. • The company has yet to fill a salt water ship, however it's expected that ocean going vessels will take on grain here once the new system is in- stalled. Once the larger vessels can be loaded at Goderich grain will not have to be trans -shipped. Grain from Western Canada and Ontario is currently taken by lake freighter to Montreal and reloaded onto ocean going ships for delivery to export markets. The grain will retain its quality and the costs of rehandling will be reduced. The move will be beneficial to farmers as it will improve the ability to serve overseas markets. Chapman , Grain. System of -Chatham will. begin work on the project immediately'. "We're hoping -� It. will be corn- pleted by April or early May to take advantage of the spring movement of corn", said Parsons. The construction will involve the erection of the shipping tower, in- stallation of • silo :. and bridge cony; yors and an. electronic weighing scale. Grain passing through the sys:tenn will be automatically weighed which is an advance over the old loading system,,. which' involved the manual weighing bf the grain. A new grain dust collection system will be installed also. A vacuum mechanism will reduce the dust which escapes into the air when trucks are unloading at the elevators. The construction project is seen as another stop forward for the company, which has spent more than one million dollars in the past five years to improve©its facilities.' Most of the .grain passing through the new system will be corn. Corn. accounts for more than 75 percent ' of the annual •Ontario grain transfer at the elevators: the balance is Ontario wheat and barley. Between 3 and 5 million bushels • of corn are handled by the Elevator Company each year and Parsons expects the new ship 'loading system will' generatea minimum of one million bushels more corn annually. cm.nnmi SH Mr, Stnitli r resell $ milk producers; in the Counties of Oxford; Elgin and Norfolk, and resides on,. his dairy farm at Burgessville, Ontario.
