One of tlie advuntajres this invention claims over allothcj-B. is the of tivo peculi-rly cnnstruct^dside-clamping plates, in cnibnation with a orrespondin;^chair. The inside plnte has iwn (itronf: horizontal tongueiv,with vertical slots in the ends of the rails, and Go»Tespnd-ing ones in the outs de plate. Uvdiivint tTough two keys,they clamp and h ck the platei firmly together, so that nei-her cao move without the AnotJicr preat advantage is, the allowance which ism«dcfor expansion and contraction between the tongues and I slots in the rails, so that thi-y can not shove to-rethnr, as inthe present mode of f istenin:: them—each joint actio? in- dependent of the other. This mode of sfcuring rails mayhe considered past im]>rovenieiit. It will be seen thai onepart assists and takes ilie strain off the other, in such a man-ner that tliere is no i^anicnlar strain on any i>art of thejoint, which must wear smooth and make a perfec ly saferoad, thereiy doimr away with Uie breakinprof rails, wheels,and axles, preventiner the loss of life and ;truction ofproperty, and savinp: at least fifty per cent, on the wear ofthe rolling stock nf the road.
