COhat With a Founder About the Making of Modern Car Wheels, WHAT IT COSTS TO SUPPLY A ROAD. That Omaha l1s to Have a Wheel Foundry Again Is Almost a Certainty—About the Business. It may be only a coincidence, but it s inter- esting just tho same to note the appearance in Omana just atthis time of Mr. W, Faw- cott, who started the foundry at the Union Pacific shops somo twenty odd years ago, and suporintended the manufacturo of all the car wheols used on the systom. He was hero about fiftoon yoars and was induced to re- wrn two or throo times after leaviug, as for somo reason nis successors did not seem to get along well. When he finally left for good it was but a short time until the manufacturo of car wheels hero was discontiuued. A snort time ago it was decided to again begin the manufacture of car wheols at the Union Pacific shops, and it is iteresting to note in this connection the reavpearaunzo of Mr. Fawcett, That geutleman was seon at the Millard yestorday afternoon and admitted that he was out of a job at the present time, He has been in the omploy of the Barnam & Rich- ardson Car Wheel Manufacturing company of Rochoster, N. Y., which had five factories, Mr. Fawcott belug connected with the ome at Jorsoy City, N. J., which was conducted under the name of the Washburn-Hunt Furnaco company. Tho senior member of the firm was Mr. William H. Barnum, whoso deaah occurred some two days ago, and now the heirs aro closing up sovoral of tho establishments, which is ow it bappons that Mr. Fawcett is now out on a toar of observation. Talked Alout Car Wheels. In opening of the car wheel industry Fawcott statod that the eastern factories could not compoto with thoso of the west in furnishing wheels for tho western roads, and the Chicago houso captured & great doal of the trade in this lime. When asked about the re-establisment of a car-wheel foundry here he swd that ho understood that it was soon to be effected, and that Mr. Mcloary was to bo the primo or. e master mechanio of the Union Pacific tells mo,” said Mr. Fawcett, “that they are usiug about 100 wheels a day. That would give omploymout to about twenty or twonty- five skilled or high-priced mechauics to turn them out. A factory much smaller than that would not pay so well, for nowadays all the mouey is made by the big concerns." “Can wheels be made horo as cheaply as farthor east (" “IUs just about a standoff. The raw wetal has to be shipped hero, but tnat is about counterbalancad by the shipping of thoold wheels back to the foundrios to be remelted. Labor is highor here, but I don't know that there is so very much difference 1n the cost of mauufacture.” What a Oar Wheel Costs. “What is the cost of a car wheel! “T'he Union Pacific is pa for each wheel. They ot the wheels from the foundry and mount them on the axles horo at tholr shops. They use the same kind of wheel for both freight and passenger work." *‘What do they weigh " he Union Pavitic folks insist ou a 600~ und wheel, but the New York Centrul, .ake Shore 'and somo others tako a 510 pounder. The Erio road fixes it at 5%, and 80 it goes, the gencral run being betweon b and 600, whioh latter is about the limit, Unlon Pacifio needs a heavy wheol to stand the wear and tear of the grades out 1n the mountains, The question of welght deponus oW~ ideas of the muster me- ontirely on the chanic.” 0w aro the old wheels disposed of ““They are bought up by brokers and sold back to tho foundries. They are worth about 18 por ton, which makes a differenco of about §.50 between an old wheel and a now oue. When they are remeited from 20 to 40 per cent new iron is added and they go out again, A passenger wheel 13 guaranteed to run 50,000 miles and a freight whesl must stand the strain for a year. Of coarse, there are thousands of whoels going out of service and others taking their places every day of the yenr. Testing the Wheels. “When whoels are cast, 1t isunacrstood by the founder and the road giving the order that one wheel out of fifty or one out of a day’s work is to bo broken by the mspectors, and if it fails to stand the test the whole day’s casting is condemnod and has to be done over. Thoso wheels are then no _bettor than the old ones, for it is not the wear and tear that hurts iron, but tho remelting, and condemned wheels Liave to bo toned up' with new iron the sume as old ones. Wheel tap- pers and inspectors have got it down so fine nowadays that thoy can tell by the ring of their hammor on o wheel whether the foundry cupola is running hizh or low." Whon askod if the object of his Omaha visit looked to his again making this city his nome, Mr. K'awcett replicd that ho was on his way to visit lis mother at Mauhattan, Kan., andhe had just stopped off hero to moot'n fow old friends. He said, howover, that it was a dead sure thing that the manu’ facture of car wheels at the Union Pacific shops was to be again bogun, L Western Pensions. Wasrivaro, D.
