Wliere two men are operating, each does an equal amount ot labor. The motion is the same as rowing. The operator always sits facing the direction in which the car is being run. The car is so constructed that it can not tip off the track in making curves, no matter how fast it is being propelled Our car runs backward as well as forward on level and straight track, which is considered a great advantage over other \elocipedes. Axle revolves under friction rollers. These rollers are four inches in diameter, with brass boxes which run on five-eighths hard machinery steel journals. PATENT WHEELS. We use a patent anti-buckling all steel wheel, twenty inches in diameter, suspension tension ; machinery steel tire FLANGED and HARDENED. This proccss of making greatly increases strength. Steel staples are riveted in countersunk hole^ in lire. Bessemer steel spokes, doubled with conical-shaped heads, made cold, pass through staples, and heads are hooked in recesses m huos-compleling sure, strong, and perfect foundation and suspension. The hub is composed of three pieces • the tension is produced by screwing the box through the outer spoke receptacle against the inner spoke receptacle forcing them apart, thus drawing the tire toward a common centre, making it perfectly true and round. By reason of one spoke pulling against its opposite, we have the only successful anti-buckling wheel in the market. The wheel is very strong, light, and pretty elastic, and so simply constructed that a person of ordinary intelligence can take it apart and put it together. THE STRONGEST LIGHT WHEEL IN THE WORLD. The above described steel wheel, weight sixteen pounds, used on Velocipede Car, was recentlv tested before a special Committee of the Franklin Institute, Philadelphia, Pa., and stood a solid pressure or strain, in one position of 6 500 lbs and m another position of 7,300 lbs., bearing on the hub of wheel.

The Hand Car is a good on*. I am well pleased with It, Norfolk Soathem R. R. Co.; A. BI. Hawkins, Srpenrisor. After iin oxperience of 20 years as track man, I consider yonr Hand Ca;- the best I have ever seen. The dead centre being done away with, per- fectly economizes the power and makes its speed very great. I can accom- plish as much in one month with the use of your car, in section work, with four (4) men, as I could with six men with the ordinary car in use on most railroads. I have ten sections, and an extra floating gang. With your car on each section, and one with the extra force, I can well afford to do away with one man from each section, as I know that the use of your car will more than compensate for the loss of one man from each gang. The reduction of eleven men at $1 per day, or $'X per month to each man, is $S86 per month reduction, which will pay sny railroad company to save. Lake Creek R. R. ; B. T. Hardesty, Montgomery, Texas. The Section Hand Car gives me perfect satisfaction. Peunsboro & Harris vlUe R. B. Co. ; M. P. Kimball, Prest., Pennsbero, W. Va. We are well pleased with your narrow gauge Hand Car. It is light, strong and speedy. It is worth to us a saving of one man's time. Somerset Ry. Co.; W. M. Ayer, ^>apt., Oakland, Me.

No. II— "Kalamazoo" Steel Baggage Truck. It is through the constant, .leniand by Railroad Companies for stronge.. lighter and more durable i^ailway Appliances that we liave experimented and placed upon the market this new feature or construction of a Railway Baggage Truck. We claim that it will outwear six wooden trucks, as it is made entirely of steel, is stronger, ^and is not affected bv exposure to the weather as arc those made of wood. Our Trucks are made of 2 x ly, x U inch T shaped steel; the lower part of the T acts as a brace throughout, and will ^tand almost unlunited weight. They are thoroughly braced, extra strong, well finished and painted. To Railroad Companies the advantage and economy in purchasing our Steel Trucks can readily be seen, as we can fur: h at n slight advance on price of Wooden Trucks.
