The KansasCity Cable Railroad Co, (Ninth St. line)has adopted our grip. They did it becausethey got tired of buying cable to saw outgrip dies. Very truly yours,Vogel & Whelan Cable York. Points on Cable Railway Construction. W. S. L. Bayley. Concrete:—Mix cement and sand, undercover if possible, and then add gravel and stoneall in the order of i, 2, 3, 4, or better. Labor:—Give every man a bybVeim. What is the cost of a good horse ?Ans.—%YZi. What is a fair days work for a car horse ?Ans.—A 16-mile what speed are they driven ?Ans.—7 miles per hour. What is the cost per day for the keep in-cluding everything ?Ans.—50c per day. What do you get for him for farming —%\K. sions are such it requires the diggingof miniatur^canals through the streets to accommodate itsworking, and as the lower die is in a rigid frameprovision must be made for this to clear thecarrier pulley, then when the cable is in the gripit is at a point six inches above it, so when it isrequired from any cause whatever to stop the carthe cable is performing the function of a file uponthe lower die, the result is obvious. Now letssee if we cannot provide another solution to thisgrip problem without being called crazy expert^ Time and Time Keeper:—The time keepershould be a man of true character, and ought tobe financially interested in the work.
