some time in successful operation on one ol' the prin~
c'i-pal railroads in the country, effectually irevents

. It acts independently of the nia1ntracki'a1_ls, being
laid down, or removed, withoutcutting or displacing

“It is never touched by passing trains, except when
in use, preventing their running oil the track. ‘It is
simple in its construction and. operation, requiring
only two Castings and two Rails; the latter, even it
much worn or used, not objectionable.

These Ropes are manufactured on an entirely d
most exclusively used in the collieries and on the railways in Great Britain, where they are considered
to be greatly stiperior to hernpcn ones, or iron chains, as regards safety, durability and economy. The

plan upon which they are made etfccttially secures them from corrosion in the interior, as well as the

"acture.
Many of these ropes have been in constant operation in the—di'ti‘erent mines in England, and on the
Blackwall and other inclined planes, for three and four years, and are still in good (,-ondition.

‘ The above Truck has now been in use from one to two years on several

and to satisfy these who have used it, as may be seen by reference to the cer-

such as additional springs in the bolster of passenger cars, making them de-
lightful riding ca.rs——ar.lapting it to tenders, trucks forward of the locomotive,
and freight cars, which, with its original good qualities, make it in all re-
