. Locomotive engineering : a practical journal of railway motive power and rolling stock . oints of this adjustable pieceare the right angle to go down into thethreads of a screw, while a 60° notch canbe formed with sides of any unequal of the most important improve-ments lies in the fact that the angles areformed by outside grinding. There are nonotches to grind into, and the gage canbe trued, or made in the first place cheaperthan the old form. It is manufactured by Coffin & Leighton,of Syracuse, N. Y. An Improved Claw Bar. Mr. J, W. Gray, foreman of the WestShore roundhouse at Kingston, N. Y., hasrecently patented a claw bar that has beenused with success for some time on thatroad and several others. The improvement consists of a head inwhich the bar works, said head forming ahook to help hold the spike to be with-drawn ; the fulcrum of the bar is formedin the head and the movement of the levercauses the spike to be lifted up straight,doing no damage to the tie or the spike. This device takes hold of the spike side-wise and can, therefore, be used between. guard rails, around frogs, in road cross-ings and other places where an ordinarybar cannot be used at all. For yard workthis bar has proven itself a great im-provement over the old form. It will pullanything with a head to it. i i i The air-brake men meet in St. Louis,April 9th. 211
