The Kirlloii irolley catcher is presented to the trade as a strictlyup-to-date design embodying numerous points of advantage. It is positive in its working, having a permanent stop on the reeland in the case, with an action so devised as to prevent the partiallocking of the reel. When used on single truck cars where there isconsideralfle oscillaling molinii ii will nni catch and pull the wheelfrom the wire. When the wheel does leave the wire the mechanism catches quicklyand has the advantage of having an action devised to retard the un-locking should the pole rebound. Owing to the simplicity of the catcher, the liabdity of parts workiiig loose is reduced to a mininuuu. The reel spring is housed insidethe case thereby protecting it against the entrance of rain water,which would cuise the lo rust and C(inse(p\entl> shorten it.; TRDLLEV CATCIIKR The construction of the case is such as to allow ample room for thetrolley rope so that with the pole down, the reel will take up theslack. The lower part of the case has a large opening, so access canbe had to the reel without removing it from the case and the rop;may be unwound without taking the catcher apart. This also pro-vides a drip so that in wet, sleety or freezing weather the reel can-not become blocked. These catchers are manufactured in the companys own factory, andit can guarantee superior workmanship and the best of material. .\.sample catcher sent on 30 days approval. ♦<-* E. W. BUSS CO.
