Kolland has contrived an articulated shoe in three pieces, the two lateral pieces being kept apart by double steel springs, which press upon them from the toe on their internal border, and thus effect the desired dilatation. Hatin has a simpler shoe (Fig. 509). It is a light shoe, with nail-holes dis- tant from the heels, and provided on the internal border with a small cHp, upon which rests a V spring, fixed by its point upon the toe of the shoe. The branches of the spring lodge in the hoUows of the sole and of the frog, and press upon the shoe, and thus pro- duce a slow dilatation. Steinhoff has also invented a shoe with springs. It has recently been proposed to obtain the dilatation by means of a strong sole of cautchouc, placed between the shoe and the foot, leaving the frog full; very thin where it rests upon the shoe and the foot, and becoming thicker toward the inner border of the shoe, which it overlaps. First it rests in the groove of the bars, and then portrudes upon the flat of the shoe, and bears on the ground at the time of rest. This elastic mass, compressed at the moment of contact, slightly dilates the shoe, which is articulated, or, what is better, very nar- row at the toe, and square; the heels, also, are thus slowly and gradually FlO 509.—Hatln's Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Liautard, Alexandre Franc?ois Augustin, 1835-.
