leels much p!ea-nrc ~ being able to announce
to the American Public and the World, that
he has completed II Railroad Locomotive ana
Car. Letters Patent were issued to him 10y
the United States, on the | Eth of June, $3.50.
The Car is SO constructed that i: will carry,
say from 10 to ID times the burden OF the Cars
now III use, without any possibility OF injury
to the track which CONSISTS of Il plain wooden
rail Of moderate dircusiuls, ob!iating the
necessity OF any iron whatever on the whole
extent OF the Road. "a both the Car and
Locomotive carries with il an endless chain or
rrlcf weighing t-um los 10 lbs pounds to the
yard, 3 inches by !. or I inches square, which
IT takes ur, carries forward and lays in front
uf the driving wheels with great cxaCtness
and precision. over this heavy track the Car
ana Locomotive travels, securing the wooden
track beneath il from any possible iEldry.-
This iron track or cham il composed OF
straight rolled iron bars, inch thick and }
or inches wide, according to the size You
may wIsn the chain, cut into pieces of "a
inches in length. with hole drilled or punch
ed inches from each end of the bar, and put
together with iron or steel bolts of an inch in
diameter, so as to overlap eact other one
half % its own length; thus when sufficient
number of pieces are put Together IT will form
IA continuous bar or track 3 by i. or 4 inch>
drivin. wheels and wooden track Il constant
! support of at least double the length Of each
bar. This track is Land by means Of Hanged
| pullcys in the advance aud rear of the dri-
/ wing wheels over which i: passes and Is laid
| smoothe on the wooden rai' beneath IN front.
| The advance and rear wheels are connected
| by means of Il PLAIN intermediate wheel or
! pulley. which, by means of lever. adds TO
the adhesion on tie track enabling the Lo-
| como'iyc to smrnount double or triple the ell
! ovation the present Locomotive can, thereby
greatly diminishing the expense of excava-
tiuns. This Car is equally well adapted with
is enormous load to Plank Roads, or 10 any
well Graded or Nc Adamized Roads
Mere words or terms are inadequate to con-
vcy To the mental vision "a fac Snile, or any
thing like correct idea of this grand yet
simple machinery; hut rs soon as practicable
the public shall be furnished with cngravings,
when the inventor hopes that the generous
patronage Of Il liberal and enlightened peo.
pie. NAV at once be cheerfully ard freely ex-
tended 10 advance the interest. peace and
prosperity Of our nation in the promotion Of
the great public good, and that it will receive
the attention of those now engaged m the
Railroad business. lie honestly believes that
il will only be niece ssary for men OF science TO
see the car with its appendagrs, To be imme-
diatrly convinced Of its great utility. and
that its adoption will most certainly facilitate
the use of Railroads, by doing away with a
yery heavy cxpcn.c--viz: the iron.
