Ray’s Patent India Rubber

Savannah, Ga., May 22, 1850.

FOWLER M. RAY, E ., _

Sq

Dear Sir: I have no
ing used on our road your springs and Fullcr’s, tnat I
consider yours decidedly the best in every particular,
and in this opinion I am sustained by all our oflicers.
Fuller’s spring has a tendency to split, and also to
chafe or abrade by the constant friction on the cast
iron plates or disc : and in my opinion is not near so
elastic as yours. .

Your springs, which have been in use on our road
for 12 or 15 months past, and in constant use under
both passenger and freight cars, are to all appearances
as elastic, sound and good, as whi-n first put in use.

VVe are new building eigty-five new cars, of which
for fifty-sets the springs have been ordered of you.

E. CRANE, Esq., '

Dear Sir: It is now about two years since I first
tried the experirrient of usinga set ofRay’s India—rub-
her Springs upon one of our merchandise cars, and al-
though tlie car has been in constant service since that

-— time, I do not on examination find the slightest diffe-

rence either in the thickness or elasticity of the mate-
rial.

The same result has followed wherever we have ap-
plied them. either for wheel or draw springs on En-
gines, Tenders or Cars. At presentwc use no other;
either in replacing old springs or birlding new cavs~—
and I am perfectly satisfied that for economy. durabi-
lity, safety, and ease of motion, that Ray’s India-rub-

.ber is the best article for Springs which has been pre-

sented to the public.
Yours respectfully, J. HUNT,
Supt. Connecticut River Railroad.
EDWARD CRANE, Esq,,

Dear Sir: Having applied to cars of the Boston and
Worcester Railroad Corporation, Ray’s Vulcanised
Rubber Springs (where they have been in use for some
two years last past), I have had occasion to observe
their operation, and am free to say in answer to your
inquiries, that they retain their elasticify perfectly dur-
ing all changes of atmospheric temperature: and are
in my opinion a most valuable acquisition to Railroad
Cars——are not liable to derangement, as is the case
with steel springs ; while at the same time it costs less
to apply them. Respectfully yours,

HESE SPRINGS ARE THE CHEAPEST,
the lightest and most durable of any yet known.
They are easily applied to new or old cars, and there
is small possibility of any accident occurring to them.
Other parties through Mr. Ray set up claims to an
India Rubber Spring which, though the same in prin-
ciple, is very inferior in its working and durability.—-
Actions are in progre.ss for an Infringement on Ful-
ler’s Patent against parties usingtliat Spring.

The superiority of l<‘ullcr’s Spring over. that claimed
by Mr. Ray is frilly established and has frequently been
testified to. The following are from gentlemen who
have had much experience with both Springs.

“It will afford mo pleasure to recommend your springs
to the companies in this region, in preference to Ray's
which I am confident are inferior in mechanical ar-
rangement ‘go yours.” _ JOHN M’R.AE,
Engineer S. Carolina R. 3., Charleston.

“ I do not hesitate to allow you to say that I concur
in Mr. M’Rae‘s opinion that Ray’s springs are infer-
ior in mechanical arrangement to Fuller’s. I repeat-
edly expressed that opinion long before Mr. M’Rae
had seen your springs (as I believe) and entertain it
still ” WM. PARKER,

Gen’l Supt. of Baltimore and Ohio R. R.

Oflice of Sup’t Norwich & Worcester R.R Co.
. December 26, 1849.

“I most fullyconcur in the opinion of .7130. McRae,
Engineer of S. Carolina Railroad, that ‘Rays Springs
are inferior to Fuller’s Springs;’ and shall with plea-
sure recommend them to all ‘Railroad Coinpanii-5 for
adoption. 1 have used both springs on this road and

prefer Fuller’s Spring.’_’

“This company have cars fitted up with both Ra ’s
and Fuller’s ‘Metallic India Rubber Spi'in_,gs,’ an 1
do not hesitate to say that Fullcr’s arrangement is
very much superior to Ray’s.

W. RAYMOND LEE, Supt.

The following result has been obtain 1 by experi
ment upon one railroad.

Springs, . 13l'7l “ 1911 lb,-,,_
Difference, . $5906 “ 444 lbs.

Not only is-there an advantage in the cost, but ow-
ing to the great reduction in weight, the car can be
made lighter throughout, and so an enormous saving
in weight may be ellizcted in a Train.
