Something entirely new in the line of adust guard is shown herewith. It is madeof cast iron, and is introduced into from the front, entirely ignor-ing the old time-honored slot pro-vided as a receptacle for dust guardsat the back of a box. This deviceis made up of a cast-iron frame, into whichis cast a circular slot /j-inch wide anddeep to receive a strip of babbitt metal hav-. ing the proper curve to fit the dust guardbearing on the axle. The babbitt is heldin contact with the axle by means of twocoiled sijrings around the ]i-\\\c\\ roundspindles shown at the ends. When in po-sition, this guard is entirely within theoil space of the box, standing against theend walls and held in place by the tensionon the springs. It is the invention ofMr. Daniel Focer, a P. engineer atCape May Citj-, N. J., and has been inuse under tenders on the Atlantic Cityruns for some time. i i ^ handholds.
