Feb. 16t* JOSEPH DAVENPORT. S- C. THOMSON & CO., JIANUFACTURERS OF For Railroad Switches, Merchandise CarsStores, Cemeteries, Iron Sales, & Railroad Avenue and Market St., NEWARK, N. J. rv_. PATENTED JANUARY 31ST, 1854. THE ATTENTION OF RAILROAD COMPANIES is respectfully invited to an examination or the merits o thvaluable invention, which offers to add largely to the safely of life and property. The valuable features of this arrangement of axle are, a saving of full fifty percent, in motive power on crookedroads : the rails are protected from being destroyed by the flanges of the wheels coming in contact with them onthe curves, as is the case with the stiff or rigid axle, whiih not only destroys the rail but puts a constant strain uponthe wheel and axle, causing the wheel on the inner rail to trip or revolve upon the rail under the weight of the caran d its load, while the opposite wheel is traversing its greater distance; the tendency of which, is to wear thewheel flat, and cause it, or the axle, to break sooner or later. There is less danger of the car leaving the track fromits having become spread. Axles fit
