AMERICAN AND JOURNAL. 145 A NEW DESIGN 52-FOOT TRACK SCALE WITHMECHANICAL HUMP. KAILUCJAI). At West Biowiisvillc Junction, , tlic Pennsylvania Rail-road have recently built a new 5j-foot liacU scale which incor-porates a ninnber of important improvements and interestingdetails. With the scale has also been constructed a mechanicalhump, which, for a distance of 25 ft. from one end of the scaleplatform, can be given an inclination varying between i and 4per cent, grade as desired. This scale is provided with a me-chanical relieving gear, doing away with the customary deadtrack, and is arranged so that the platform is independent ofthe weighing mechanism, thus eliminating the effect of snowand ice, wind pressure, or dirt on the empty balance of the scale. It will be noticed by reference to tlie illustration that allwooden substructure has been eliminated and a most substantial
