The NqfÉi Inïproveâ Liltinr Jacks. .;•■?■ -THE GREATBéT UABOR-SAVil^G INVENTION Of f HE AGE IN LIFTING JÂCKS y^ If " is thb- NORTON IMPROVED COMPOUND JACK. In întrocUieing the ahove Jacks, we wouldbriefly call atten- tion to a féw of the many, advantages they possess qver any «ther Jacks now in use, especiîilly for Rail>\avyor heavy work. They combine thç threegreatest4)oVveis known in Mechani- cal Sciçnce, the Lever j Screw and Gears, with the three giçatest éléments of success, Simplicity, Durability and Cfaeapness. The superiority pf the, Screw ôyer.any other method for Hft- ing, and especially lowering, heiv*'}- weights, i« too \yell known to require comment hère. The Norton Jacks are Screw Jacks', operated with a Ratchet Lever, hhving the up and down or " Pump Handie" motion, found .sô convenient in Hydraulic Jacks. They are ail con- structçd with patent Safety Stop Motion, preventing înjuji-yto Jack of load by running the screw out of the nut. • ^ For lightncss\, speedy safety y ease in operating^ cheapness., durability and gênerai utility they st^pd without ^ rival. The Norton Ball-bearing Jack» are sold at priées much below the Hydraulic, with which they succ^ssfully compete for heayy work in locomotive sljops and bridge building; and without Ball-bearing, at so nearly the côstof the ordinary Screw Jack that when their value and'conVenience at^ compared with thèse, true economy is greatly in favor of (heir pti|:chase and use, as in- dicated by the following suggestions, which do npt overstate their t^^ real advantages in practice* r' '••v< •.,^.. /■•■ * \ \ -■ \ A. o\ Norto ■ i' ■ . \ \'" V ■-■•.,; r;:\;,:;.r •;::'...;,.^;^' ■.-.•• A. o\ Nortort , Boston, Mass., U.S. A>i Coaticook, P.

The coiuhioti Sciew Jack imist hâve a larj^c screw to support its load; the X^^rtoii docs tliis by a standard aiul sliell, t'ull\ siip\ porttng a small,-casily-working screw. * When the scicw of thc comnion J^ick is well nui out, hcavilv loaded, bcing uusupported, ît is li.qhliTto bending of "upscttiug," or stri^ing the threads, thereby rcndenng it useless. With thc Norton Jack this cannot occur, the shell taking ail the side strain and also preventing ail injury tf) the screw. , The screw of the common Jack, exposed to gases, «lirt and grit, at>d the action of the weather, is soon destroyed by'wear and corjosion, \vhile the Norton is so encloscd J)v thc shell that ' it çannot be spoiled by grit or rust, and reniains for nionths with- out care, readv for instant use. ' The common Screw Jack retjuires continuakj^hanges of levers in use, their position is awkward, and the sci(Ê^ruris up slowly ; while the Nortonjs quickly set in place, op^pted ' rapidly and easily, making a great saving in time and montfy. The common S<îre^- Jack requires consi(lëral>le space hori- zontally to work the levers ; the Norton will \iork nicely in ex- tremely small spaces, where the common Jack cannot be used, and on any side, — a great object in shop or car work. < '' .

They are made of the best" malléable iron, with steel gears arid phosphor bronze huts, and the balls and bearing plates and ail other parts are ôf the best material and workmanship. They do any and ail work that can be donc by Hydraulic Jacks, and as easiUi wjthout expense fo^ alcohpl or-uepairs, and are readily operated and perfectly safe even in the hands pf un- skilled men. , Each p^rt is interchangeable, and in. case ,of breakage cah be replaced at triflîjig cost, while their price is niuch less than tt^at of Hydraulics. ^_ , ' ^ \ Our Railway Jacks, withoiij ball-bearing, which havè berfii in Use on thè Canadîan Pacific Rîulway for the past three years (see itimonial), are made of same material as the Ball-bearing, and Atk much cheaper. In fact, they çtre the cheapest Ratchet Jacks ««Me tuorld^ being no dearer than the -old-fashioned Sçrew Jack of tWi same' material and capacity. it the same t;me, one man can do more work, and do it easiei with the Norton Jack, than two with the Screw or Bottle Jack. 'se extrcmely low priées are rtade as en induecment to Railvmy Companies^ in full confidence that when once tested in pr^c^cal work, the saving of time and labor will be so apparent, that în every branch of their ser\ice where jacks are required, the Norton Jiick yvill be specified and iised in prefe;rence to ôthëfS. ^ ■•'4.< c ./«s. >>. 4 ■:■ "l..- ■r^ . •/ A. 0.
