Adnnis, denn of the engineering school at Ilnrrnrd. ntid n government experi menter with uridine apparatus during the mu 1 Professor Adams spoke last night nt Joint meeting of the Krnnklin Insti tute nnd the American Institute of Klcctrleal Knglncoro in the Franklin Institute. His subject wns "Klectrlo Welding ns Applied to Shipbuilding." First Tried In 1877 Thc first electric w elding. Professor Adams said, nns done in I'hlludelphiii in 1S77 by I'rof. I'liliu Thompson. It was not, however, until 1MI tlmt the first patents were issued on the process. Itut at that time the power plants of the city were so inadequate that efficient Work in large amount was impossible. "Kleetric welding will replace rivet ing in the construction of ships," said l'rofessor Adams, "in Jut the degree of advance we mnke in learning the Intricacies of the work. To m mind, however, it will be many years before we can go without the riveter in the shipyard. , ., , , , "Under the plans for Hog Island some "00,000 parts were to have been welded. So far as I know that pro- i (ram was carried out." Xml New Kind of Ship An entirely utu- design of ship is needed to allow for the u-r of electric welding instead of meting, according to Dean Adams. Ho honed a design upon which experiments were being made by the Kniergeucj Fleet, Corpora -tiou when the armistice was signal. The design calls for the placing of plates vertically. Work starts from the stern nnd proceeds forward with huge por table spot welders to tack the plates together at the approximate spacing of rivets. Arc welding would then be used to close up the seams. An ex perimental plant was under construc tion when the war ended and assistance Mas withdrawn. ' Dean Adams showed a picture of n 125-foot barge built in Kugland nnd used in the rough ehnnnel service during the, war. Kvery part was welded. There was not a rlet in the barge. The speaker a No showed a picture of a welded boat that has been in serv ice iu Ashtabula harbor for four years. It has been caught in the ice and was once distorted by being squeezed be tween two boats, but was straightened out again and is now in service. Vincent Astor Called "a Profiteer" Albany, April P.
