MANUFACTURERS OF ALL KINDS OF TANKS. TOWERS AND TUBS | LARGE WATER TANKS A SPECIALTY § LOUISVILLE, KY. a W. E. CALDWELL, Presipent. ESTABLISHED 1877. H. B. WiINTERSMITH, Vice-Pres. 1901. INCORPORATED 1892. R. E. MILLER, Secretary. ere<~s, INTRODUCTION E have always believed there is a demand for first-class work in every line, and it is this demand in tanks and towers that we have sought to supply. That our efforts have been successful is attested by the fact that our business has grown from a small local trade to one that now reaches into every State and Territory in the United States, and beyond to Canada, Cuba and South America. Our quarters have necessarily grown with the business until we nowoccupy a plant that covers nearly ten acres—the largest in the country devoted exclusively to the manufacture of tanks and towers. This plant is equipped with every modern and labor-saving machine used in such work, and enables us to manufacture our product with the minimum of expense and time. One of the principal factors in our success has been the continued use of Louisiana Cypress woodinour tanks. The durability of this wood is marvelous, and we were the first outside of its native State to appreciate its value for tank purposes. But this has now become a matter of general knowledge. The best authorities agree that it is from fifty to one hundred per cent more durable than any othér employed in the manufacture of tanks. The reason for this is gene- rally attributed to the fact that the wood is in its natural element when used asa tank, because it grows right in the water in swamps and bayous. Aside from its remarkable lasting qualities, Cypress has many other proper- ties that make it especially suitable for tank purposes. It shrinks and swells much less than other woods, doesn’t warp or twist, gives off no odor or taste or color, it holds paint better, and it has a positive affinity for hot liquids—steam- ing, hot or boiling hot, it doesn’t matter—the hotter the better. The adaptability of this wood for the various kinds of tanks used by Tan- ners, Paper Makers, Cider and Vinegar Manufacturers, and others, and some general information about such tanks is set forth in an illustrated booklet that we are just preparing and which will be sent toany oneon request. This booklet also gives “‘ Specifications in detail of the Very Best in Wooden Tank Construc- tion,” which will prove of interest and value to Engineers and Architects and to those users of tanks who want nothing but first-class work. Our tank towers are of four kinds, which are described in the following pages. We have been building these structures for a great many years, and have hundreds in use. While our towers are of such simple design that any car- penter or mechanic of only ordinary ability, can erect them, (and this is true of our steel towers as well as the wood) yet, where desired, we contract to erect them, and furnish the outfit complete ready for use. Weare always glad to supply intending purchasers with detailed plans and specifications of these structures, and the names of customers in their immediate vicinity that have our outfits in use. We also issue a booklet of testimonial let- ters from some of the largest concerns in the country, and it is worthy of note that a number of these letters refer to the towers having passed through cyclones without injury—which unroofed buildings, blew down chimneys and smoke stacks and uprooted trees,—as strong a proof as could be desired of the strength and stability of our work in this line. In addition to wooden tanks we also build steel and galvanized iron tanks of all sizes, having a shop equipped especially for this purpose. We give a list of sizes and prices of the galvanized tanks. ‘We have no list of the plain steel tanks, but will quote on any sizes upon application. WwW. E. CALDWELL CO.

CYPRESS LUMBER FROM THE SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN of December, 1891: ‘sCypress timber, owing to its beautiful finish and durability and lightness, has long been in favor in the Gulf Coast. States, and is fast grow- ing in favor in the more Northern States, especially among those who haye tested and know its many good qualities. ‘‘Cypress is especially adapted to BUILDING TANKS, TUBS, and VATS, and when used for such purposes IT NEVER WILL DECAY. ‘¢ It also makes better Sash, Doors, Blinds and Frames than White Pine, and many Railroads use it for Water Tanks. It stands the weather better than White Pine ; does not WARP or TWIST, and does not SHRINK or SWELL. x ‘‘NO LUMBER in the WORLD equals it for Tanks, Vats, Siding or Weather Boards, Exposed Floors or Shingles. Siding can be used and not painted, and will last fifty years. ‘¢The DURABILITY of CYPRESS is illustrated by the examples of ROOFS in Mobile and New Orleans in good order laid SIXTY YEARS 2go.’’ . FROM THE TRADESMAN of January, 1899: - **'The VALUE of VARIOUS WOODS for TANKS has been discussed to its capacity by people of experience, both past and present, and so thorough have these discussions been that the information gained has proved of advantage, not only to the manufacturer, but the buyer as well. The woods more commonly used are pine, poplar, redwood, cedar and CY- PRESS. COMPARISONS AND TESTS ARE STRONGLY IN FAVOR OF LOUISIANA GULF CYPRESS.’’ SEVEN REASONS Why Cypress Lumber is the Best Wood for Tanks: FIRST. It will last for ages without decay. SECOND. It is the only wood impervious to acids. THIRD. Itis not injuriously affected by the action of hot water. FOURTH. It shrinks and swells less than other woods. FIFTH. It warps and twists less than other woods. SIXTH. It has not the knots and defects found in White Pine, Cedar and other woods. SEVENTH. When seasoned, itis lighter than all other woods, assuring cheaper transportation. Ww W. E. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY.

The above prices are based upon tanks made of 2 inch material. To find the list prices of tanks made of 244 inch material, add 40 per cent. to above list; and add 60 per cent. to the list above to find the list prices of tanks made of 3 inch material. Also add 35 per cent. and 70 per cent. respectively to weights given of 2 inch tanks to ascertain the weights of 244 and 3 inch.

These tanks are exten- sively used in Woolen and Cot- ton Mills, Mines, Chemical Works, Tin Plate, Nail and Rol- ling Mills, Ice Factories, Brew- eries, etc., etc., etc. Our Rectangular Tanks are all thoroughly constructed and || finished. Just as much painsis Qi taken with the smaller sizes as with the larger. They are built of dry lumber of proper thick- ness; are heavily rodded with both horizontal and perpen- dicular rods at proper intervals (rods being supplied with nuts andcast washers that cover large surfaces) ; so that the joints in sides, ends and bottoms may be thoroughly drawn together and a water tight tank thereby in- sured. We generally furnish plain iron rods and washers, but we carry a stock of both Galvanized Iron and Brass Rods, which we can supply where required.

Orrioes AY ORANGE CiTy, lowa. Sioux CENTER, OWA, mmm Orange City,lIowa, Feb.7th,1902. W. E. Caldwell Co., Louisville,Ky. Dear Sirs: About four years ago our City purchased from your Company an 87 foot Steel Water Tower and 65,000 gallon Tank which now forms a part of our City water system. On the second day of July,1900, @ cyclone unroofed our City Hall, hurling a large portion of the roof against the Steel Tower striking it at the second section from the bottom. The portion of the roof striking the Tower was smashed into kindling wood, a large timber about ten inches square being broken in two where it struck one of the tubular uprights. Nevertheless the Tower was not moved from its base in the least, nor thrown out of line in any Way, the damage to it being but slight. The Tower is strongly con- structed, pleasing in appearance, and the people here believe it to be the best one an the market. Very truly yours, ae € Cx Mayor. W. E. CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. 31 WATER WORKS. The adaptability of the elevated tank system for water works for small cities, towns and villages, of a population of 25,000 and less, has long been recognized, and for this purpose there is nothing else equal to our Patent Sectional Steel Tower with either a Cypress or Steel Tank. Such an outfit makes a handsome appearance, will last indefinitely, and is certain to give the best of satisfaction, as hundreds of our customers will testify. We make a specialty of furnishing water works jobs, and are pleased to give any information in this connection desired by towns purposing to install complete water works, or outfits for fire protection only.

CALDWELL CO., LOUISVILLE, KY. Special Combined Wood and Iron Towers. This Combined Wood and Iron Tower is designed so as to do away with the features that have always made a wooden tower so objec- tionable; thatis, there are no mor- tises and tenons to impair the strength of the structure, nor any brace seats or openings to collect water. These have always been the weak points in a wooden tower, especially the last named, as, of course, where the water could lodge in the sockets or brace seats it was a question of only a short time until the timber would rot out and give way; and an elimina- tion of these objectionable features makes the durability of our Com- bined Wood and Iron Towers fully fifty per cent. greater than that of any wood tower yet designed. Of course, with no notches or holesthe sutfaces of the tower are smooth and unbroken,and can therefore be kept thoroughly painted through- out. It will be seen that the tower is built on the same lines in general as our Sectional Steel Pipe Tower, the only difference being that wooden, instead of steel, columns and struts are used. The sway bracing is of iron, the same as in our steel tower, and we employ cast-iron connections to receive the struts or longitudinal ties which bind the sections together. We also retain another distinctive feature that has made our Sectional Steel Tower so successful which is the short sections in which it is built, which minimizes the cost of ]// erection. The tower will be found in every way fully deserving of the claim we make for it, that it is as much su- | perior to any wooden tower as our standard Patented Steel Towers are to the ordinary light iron or galvanized steel towets with scarcely no factor of safety that are so often palmed offas first class constructions. aqaa My Soe =; {INNATE init wget ae W.

For the benefit of those concerns that prefer to buiid their own towers and are situated so they can do so advantageously, that is, buy the timbers required and have them framed for less than they would cost with freight added if purchased from us, we would be glad te supply complete working plans and bills of material for either our special wood and iron tower illus- trated on page 32 or our all wood tower illustrated on page 34. This will insure the design of the tower being not only correct (which is, of course, of the first and greatest importance), but incomparably superior to the old style wooden tower with its defective features mentioned in the comparison made elsewhere between our special wood and iron tower and the old style wooden tower. There is another advantage in using our plans, which is a certainty of having no surplus material in the construction. The ordinary run of car- penters and mechanics have not the technical knowledge necessary to enable them to correctly design a structure of this kind, and, in fact, are apt to lose sight of the great weight contained in a comparatively small volume of water, 5,000 gallons of which, for instance, weigh 40,000 pounds, or more than 20 tons, and 50,000 gallons, more than 200 tons. And tobe on the safe side they generally get twenty to twenty-five per cent more material in the tower than s required by the best practice, thereby unneces- sarily increasing the cost that much to the purchaser. So, the cost of our plans is nearly always, many times offset by the cost of material saved when the tower is built from our plans. Of course, in purchasing the complete tower of us, the customer is assured of getting the best material throughout, and material that is thoroughly finished, all ready to go together, which naturally relieves him of all trouble and worry in this connection, a consideration of nao little importance. We will also furnish the iron work only of these towers where desired, letting the customer supply his own timbers or wood work. Where we do this we will make no charge for the plans and bills of material. USEFUL INFORMATION—WATER Doubling the diameter of a pipe increases its capacity four times. Friction of liquids in pipes increases as the square of the velocity. The mean pressure of the atmosphere is usually estimated at 14.7 lbs. per square inch, so that wie Pertort vacuum it will sustain a column of mercury 29.9 inches or a column of water 33.9 eet high. To" find the pressure in pounds per square inch of a column of water, multiply the height of the column in feet by .434. Approximately, we say that every foot elevation is equal to 44 lb. pressure per square inch; this allows for ordinary friction. To find the diameter of a pump cylinder to move a given quantity ot water per minute (100 feet of piston being the standard of speed), divide the number of gallons by 4, then extract the square root, and the product will be the diameter in inches of the pump cylinder. To find quantity of water elevated in one minute running at 100 feet of piston speed per minute, square the diameter of the water cylinder in inches and multiply by 4. Example: Capacity of a 5- inch cylinder is desired. The square of the diameter (5 inches) is 25, which, multiplied by 4, gives 100, the number of gallons per minute (approximately). To find the horse power necessary to elevate water to agiven height, multiply the total weight of the water in pounds by the height in feet, and divide the product by 33,000 (an allowance of 25 per cent. should be added for water friction, and a further allowance of 25 per cent. for loss in steam cylinder). a The Oa of the Steam Piston, multiplied by the steam pressure, gives the total amount of pressure that can be exerted. The area of the Water Piston, multiplied by the pressure of water per square inch, gives the resistance. A margin must be made between the power and resistance to move the pistons at the required speed—say from 26 to 40 per cent. according to speed and other conditions. To find the capacity of a cylinder in gallons. Multiplying the area in inches by the length of stroke in inches will give the total number of cubic inches; divide this amount by 231 (which is the cubical contents of a U. S. gallon in inches), and product is the capacity in gallons. To find the number of gallonsina Tank, multiply the inside bottom diameter in inches by the in- side top diameter in inches, then this product by 34; point oft four figures and the result will be the average number of gallons to one inch in depth of the Tank. The following table is arranged to show at a glance the equivalent pressure due to columns of water from 10 to 400 feet in height. Also more particularly to show the number of gallons of water delivered, and the height to which it will be projected through nozzles from one-quarter inch to two inches diameter.
