(A communication.)—Granted June 3 ; Enrolled Uec. 3, [Reported in Newton s London Journal.^ This invention relates to a mode of connecting the axle-boxes ofrailway axles ^vith the framing of the carriage, whereby the axleswill have a slight horizontal play, suflScient for them (when tra-velling over curves) to take a line parallel to the radius of thecurve over which they may be passing. This is efi^ected by con-necting the axles to the carriages in the manner shown in the an-nexed engravings. For four-wheel carriages the apparatus i» Fig. 3. Fig. 2. Fig. Fig. 4. shown in figs. 1, 2, 3, and 4. a, a, is one of thetwo main side-beams of the framing of the carriage ; and as side case of the car-riage is similarly furnished for the support of the axles, a descrip-tion of the parts pertaining to one end only of an axle wUl sufficeto explain the nature of the invention. a, a, are four arms or brackets, bolted, two on each side, to thebeam a ; and at their lower ends they are coupled together, inpiiirs, by a bolt or pin 6. These pins each carry two links, c, c ;and through their ends a coupling-pin is passed, and secured in itsplace by rivet-heads or otherwise, d, d, are two rods or bars, pro-vided at each end with eyes, for the purpose of being connectedrespectively at their outer ends by the coupling-pins of the linksc, c, and at their inner ends, of being jointed together by the coup-ling-pins e, e, and intervening links /, /.
