Bronze Also Used Largely for Con- struction of Dams The New Yoric city board of Water Supply has contracted for approximately 91,000 tons of steel and 600 tons of bronze, brass and copper, i^r the most part this fabricated metal will be put under ground, "where moth aiid rust (Joth not corrupt," and the best scientific minds agree that mudi of it will stay where it is put long after the present generation is forgotten. The steel bulk is divided into cl£issifications. The requirements for structural steel supports in shafts will account for about 46,- 000 t<Mis; steel for reinforcing con- crete, 11,000 tons; steel sheet piling, 15,700 tons; structural steel, 7,500 tons. The balance will be used for steel and cast-iron pipes and fittings, steel interlining in shafts, gratings, ladders, stairs, covers and frames, steel nuts, bolts and castings and miscellaneous cast-iron and steel. In general, the specifications for the steel used by the board of Water Supply consists of maxi- mum limits for the sulidiur and I^osidiorus content of the steel. C^per acts as a corrosion in- hibitor and the usual specifica- tion is a minimum content of 20 per cent. The steel in^)ectors of the board of Water Supply are at the various foundries and machiiM shops to watch th^ material being made and fabricated. For analysis of steel and cast- iron a completely different labora- tory set-up fro mthat used in cement—different reagents, differ- ent standard solutions, different apparatus, different glassware, etc., is employed. The great gate-valves are made of bronze, as are also the needle and dieck valves and hydraulic cylinders. Altogether about 1,200,- 000 pounds, or 600 tons, of miscel- laneous brass, bronze and o^per have been omtracted for place- ment in the construction between the projected Neversink reservcrir not far from Liberty and the KensiCo reservoir at White Plains.
