Saturday several persons of distinction, and a nut
ber of Mechanical Gentlemen, were present at MI
DODD'S Coach Manufactory, Crawford-street, Mr
tague-square, to see the first carriage finished on t
new principle of Mr. ACKERNANN'S Patent Movea4
Azle. Among the Gentlemen of note in the sciet
of mechanical inventiN, was Mr. BRVNELL, wh,
Government works at Portsmouth, Woolwich,
have raised him into such just estimation, and who,
conjunction with the personages present, after a •
nute investigation of the improved construction,
after seeing the different evolutions of the Carria;
pronounced the improvement to be original and m
useful. The principle cf the Patent Moveable At
is, in fact, a simplification of the complicated stn
tut e of the old carriage, and the following are I
main advantages which it gives : first, a short n
within a space little exceeding a foot from its o'
centre, so as to make the most abrupt turnings wi
out incurring the dangers so frequent on the old pl
During this short turn, the equipoise is kept sec'
and unerring on the four w heels, it rests equally
each, and thus the liability to accident is most nr
rially removed. Another advantage is, that it ach
of a highoe fore wheel, and therefore prevents
unequal action and repair of the fore, as comp:
with tke hind wheel, which was previously unan
able. But the great desideratum is observable in
structure of the perch-bolt ; this, on the old
united the upper and lower carriage, and by its
posite action caused a double and contending frictii
which necessarily led to great wear and tear, m!
expense, and not unfrequent accidents. This is grey
obviated by the new principle, which, instead
having this two-fold and opposite working of
perch-belt, throws the stress upon six points
main actior. being the simple motion of a pivot, wl
regulates the pole, and of course the wheels.
greatest air of lightness is also obtained by this
ciple, in addition to its more complete security.
those who wish it, a carriage may be made full
teen inches shorter than on the old plan, and
much less timber, iron, &c. The saving in ICI
-and also in draught, must be very considerable.
Carriage still remains at Mr. DODD'S, and cannot
to excite the atrPnrion of Gentlemen who feel an'
*et in machinery of this description.
