I certify that F. M. Ray’s Patent Equalizing Railroad Truck has been in
use on the Philadelphia and Reading railroad for some time past, under a
passenger car.

For simplicity of construction, economy in cost, lightness of material, and
extreme ease of motion, I consider it the best truck we have ever used. Its
peculiar make also renders it less liable to be thrown oil the track, when pas-

AILROAD SCALES.---THE ATTEN-
tion of Railroad Companies is particularly re-
quested to Ellicotts’ Scales, made for weighing load-
ed cars in trains, or singly, they have been the iii-
ventors, and the first to make platform scales in the
United States; supposing that an experience of 20
years has given a knowledge and superior advan-
tage in the business.
The levers of our scales are made of wrought
iron, all the bearers and fulcruins are made of the
best cast steel, laid on blocks of granite, extending

made of wood. E. Ellicott has made the largest
Railroad Scale in the world, its extreme length was
one hundred and twenty feet, capable of weighing
ten loaded cars at a single draft. It was put on the
Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad.
VVe are prepared to make scales of any size to
weigh from five pounds to two hundred tons.
