A VALUABLE IMPROVEMENT Having occa.
sion yesterday to stop In ut the Office Of the Me-
tropolitsu Street Railway Company, on Seven.
Ia .Nr lt.l
decided improvement made to the turntables
used at each end Of the route passed over by the
cars Of this company. This 10 the result Of an
experiment made by @. W. Emmsrt, esq tho
able and efficient superintendent Of tho road, and
II will be saving to the company Of at least the
interest Of SIS 900, as the labor Of man hereto
fore employed at each turn. table can be dis.
peused with. Heretofore 1t required 4 man to
turn the table every time a car arrived at tho
end Of the route, and TO stop II when the car
bad turned sufficiently, and 10 place his foot on
what Is termed the dog, to prevent tho table
from turning too far. Now, when the car Is once
on the table, the conductor, by the aid Of long
rod with hook attached, can, while in the car,
raise the "dog," which will remain so raised, by
the support Of q dropping, hinged prop, until
the table Is turned sufficiently, when the prop Is
tripped and the dog" drops into a niche, thu,
stopping the table at the proper place. To COM
papies having roads with halt dozen or more
Of thosc examinations, as is the case In New Or
leans and other cities, where this kind Of car Is
used, this simple improvement would save to
them Thousands Of dollars in single year. We
are pleased to see our citizens rank 80 well In the
business Of improving and even invsuting useful
machinery.
