THEMAFirmenbeschreibung
TEXTAmong the specialties of this firm's manufactures, we might mention Fire Brick Grates for Thompson's patent furnace for burning wet tan. This improvement is of immense value to tanners, enabling them to use as fuel the tan which was heretofore an encumbrance to them, and thus save not only the expense of its removal, but of purchasing other fuel. Besides the Stove foundries, Albany has several important establishments in other branches of the Iron manufacture, including one celebrated manufactory of Car Wheels, owned by George H. Thatcher & Co. This establishment, though not so large as some others in the country, has an excellent reputation, and when in full operation turns out over 100 wheels per day. Messrs. Thatcher & Co. manufacture the Atwood Patent Corrugated Wheel, the Dorsch Patent Wheel, and other patterns which experience has proved can be successfully cast and chilled, and possess strength and durability. In each wheel the proprietors .of these works use from eight to twelve varieties of the best American charcoal iron, and exercise great care and judgment in selecting and mixing them. Every heat is subject to a test in order to determine (and when defective, remedy) the exact temper or degree «of hardness. The New York Central Railroad and other important roads are chiefly supplied with wheels from this establishment.
