| TEXT | Their shops have capacity and tools for advantageously employing 200 men. Line of work varied, covering general forging, from lightest to heaviest, and smithing of all kinds, and full water cut or tool finishing. Shops and tools are built and managed with view to making anything required of wrought iron, as cheap and well as any establishment in the country can produce it. Works established in 1850 by C. D. De Laney, a thorough mechanic and pioneer in developing the iron interests in this country. Mr. De Laney is still connected with the house, owning controlling interest; relations of his who have come up under his instruction, and Mr. Joseph Howard, a gentleman who has had many years' experience in larger eastern forges with heavy hammering and smithing, constitute the firm, and embody in the working members a practical management. Early appreciating that it would be to the advantage of engine-builders to buy finished wrought iron work when they were busied with work or cramped for room or means of largely investing in heavy machinery, they built a larger machine shop in connection with the forge. Later, this has been made more complete, and now any weight or kind of forging may be fully finished here. However, it is the aim of the firm to as much as possible run the tools only on tool finishing, and taking surplus iron off work, as they can do this cheaper than machine shops of builders, and can control forging thereby. When parties have only a water cut to take off they gain much, and loss of metal turned to chips is thrown on a forge where it more properly belongs, for here metal costs least, and chips or turnings are of greater value, as they are cheaply re-manufactured without much handling. In furnishing work for Pittsburgh, eastern cities, and, in fact, all towns, De Laney & Co. pay all freight and assume all risk of transportation. During the war this house did intricate forged and finished work for 13 of the monitors; and since then of heavy work a 9 ton piston rod for National Armory, Springfield, some 3 ft. collar rolls for Union Mill, Bufialo, and a 10 ton main shaft for Cincinnati Water Works, are worthy of mention. |
