| TEXT | Of the various sheds the principal one is 420 feet long and 120 feet wide, and is built in three bays. In the centre bay is a 35-ton travelling crane made by Messrs. Henry Wren and Co., Manchester. In the south bay are three 4-ton Tangye travelling cranes. Here the material goes through the preliminary stages in boiler construction. The machinery comprises two powerful hydraulic riveting machines for the shell plates; another riveting machine of special design for the flues; three boiler-shell drilling machines, one of which is so arranged that five holes in the butt-straps can be drilled at the same time; two turning machines for boring out the flue-holes, and turning up the outer edges of end plates and angle rings; a powerful set of bending rolls; a plate-edge planing machine capable of taking in plates 30 feet long by 6.5 feet wide; two smaller machines for planing flue-plates and butt-straps; a corner-thinning machine; two powerful jib verticals; shearing machine, etc. Adjoining the south bay are the machine shop and smithy, in which there are a flue-flanging machine, flue-drilling and turning machines, steam- hammers, etc. Electric lighting is adopted throughout these works, which are fitted with every appliance for turning out boilers of the highest class. When fully employed the average output is four Lancashire boilers per week. |

| TEXT | Among the many great works in Glasgow, the Caledonian Boiler Works of Messrs. Penman & Co. have an exceptional reputation for efficiency. The firm started businees thirty years ago, and in the interval has made great developments.
At the present time the average turnout is four Lancashire steam boilers per week, and as the whole of the work is executed on the premises the works are necessarily of great extent, covering fully 3 acres of ground. The main buildings are of brick and substantially constructed; the principal shed is in three bays, and measures 420 feet long by 120 feet wide. In the centre bay is a 35-ton travelling crane, and in the side bays there is a number of small travelling cranes. The works are fitted up with the most improved tools and appliances, and the firm has spared no effort to bring their resources up to the highest point of efficiency. It sends its boilers to all parts of the world. |
