Edward Porter Alexander, Military memoirs of a Confederate: a critical narrative, Chapter 15: Chancellorsville (search)
site of Franklin's crossing in Dec. Hooker had commenced his movement, on the 27th, by going with the 5th, 11th, and 12th corps to cross the Rappahannock at Kelly's Ford, above the mouth of the Rapidan, 27 miles from Fredericksburg. A picket, at this point, was driven off, a pontoon bridge laid, and the whole force, about 42,000 men, was across the river on the 29th, when the 6th corps, under Sedgwick, was crossing in front of Jackson. Hooker immediately pushed his force by two roads from Kelly's to Germanna and Ely's fords of the Rapidan — about 11 miles off, and, on arriving, the troops forded, although the water was nearly shoulder deep. The fording was kept up all night by light of large bonfires, and the next morning the march to Chancellorsville, six miles away, was resumed. Meanwhile, two divisions of the 2d corps had moved up from Fredericksburg to United States Ford, where they laid a pontoon bridge about noon on the 30th. By 9 P. M. they had crossed and united with t

nd advanced by a screw. A mode of making combs with economy of material was invented by Ricketts, London, some years since, and has become common. A slip, a little wider than a comb, is placed in a machine which has a descending cutter of peculiar conformation adapted to cut through the tortoise-shell or horn by a series of tapering cuts which form the outlines of the teeth of a pair of combs, as in the figure (w), the teeth of one comb occupying the interdental spaces of the other. Kelly's Machine for making parted combs has a bed-plate p which is secured by screws to a bench; from the bed-plate rise standards u which support an axle a turned by a winch h. On the axle is a crank which communicates motion by the collar c to the arm b, to whose lower side the cutter is attached. As the bar works up and down in the guide l, the cutter makes its incisions in the tortoise-shell t, which is intermittingly moved so as to be advanced one notch between each descent of the cutter.

hat similar operations for burning the carbon of pig-iron and eliminating other impurities, are considered under those heads. See also decarbonizing-furnace; reducing-furnace; malleable iron; Bessemer process; forge, etc. See list under metallurgy. Steel processes are considered under steel. See also Bessemer process; convertor; cementation-furnace, etc. A process for decarbonizing molten cast-iron by applying an air-blast in the hearth of a blast-furnace was invented by C. Shunk. Kelly patented in the United States, in 1857, a mode of decarbonizing molten crude cast-iron by running it into a cupola or vessel, separate from that in which it was melted, and blowing through it from the bottom a blast of air, so as to burn out the excess of carbon, — the blast being strong enough to furnish rapid combustion of the carbon, and thereby retain the temperature and fluidity of the molten metal until sufficiently refined, without the use of other fuel. Bessemer worked as an origi

two stirrup-bars are added and iron staples for the valise, if required. The kinds are numerous, according to the purpose, taste, or fashion of saddles. We may enumerate— Spanish.McClellan. Half-Spanish.Somerset. English.Jockey, etc. Side. The tree is the basis of the saddle, and determines its shape, as well as to a large extent its efficiency. It is usually of beech, strengthened by iron plates: the gullet-plates under the head, plates over the head and under the cantle. Kelly, 1810, made saddle-trees of whalebone lined in part with metal. Harness saddle-tree. Thompson, 1825, made a saddletree of steel or iron. Bielefeld, in 1855, one principally of guttaper-cha. Brooman, 1865, of wood and leather. Author man, in 1865, one of papier mache and horsehair combined and molded. As a means of making saddles adjustable to fit different horses, a Mr. Smith, in 1786, made the fore points of steel springs with gulletplates set out or narrowed by setscrews. Dun

The stile can only rotate in one direction, and has a locking device controlled by a foot-lever, so that the collector may prevent the passage of more than one person at a time. Kelly turn-table, with iron frame. Turn-ta′ble. 1. (Railroad-engineering.) A platform which rotates in a horizontal plane, and is used for shifting rolling stock from one line of rails to another. Devices common to all are the plat- form, wher surface; rollers on which it turns, gearing for rotating it, a central pivot on which it rotates, a circular track on which the rollers move, and solid foundations for this track and for the central pivot. Turn-table, with wooden frame. Kelly's turn-table (Fig. 6809) is centrally supported on a series of frusto-conical rollers turning on arms radially projecting from a collar, which revolves around the axis of the table.
