| THEMA | Beschreibung |
| TEXT | This large manufacturing establishment, located at the corner of Second Street and Stevens, is a branch of the Reading, Pa., Iron Works. The large, three-story brick building, whose dimensions are one hundred by one hundred and fifty feet, was built by John Kaighn, and originally used by him for the manufacture of agricultural implements. It was afterwards used by John H. Dialogue, the ship-builder, as a machine and boiler-shop, and also for a foundry. Previous to 1864 it was known as Griffith?s Pipe-Finishing Mill. In 1864 the Reading Iron Works purchased the entire property, introduced now machinery, made other improvements and began the manufacture of wrought-iron tubes, hand and power screw-cutting machines, screwing-stocks and dies, drill-stocks, dies, taps, reamers, tongs and other tools used by gas-fitters and plumbers. A twenty-five horse-power engine drives the machinery of the works. Fifty workmen are regularly employed. The location of the works, near the Delaware River, and near the terminus of the Camden and Amboy, Camden and New York, New Jersey Southern, and Central Railroads, affords easy and quick access to the seaboard and inland towns and cities, where the products of manufacture are sent. The superintendent of these works is C. W. Thompson. |
