city. formerly of the Central Pacific
Railroad, and at present section boss
on the Virginia and Truckee railroad.
has invented a railroad switch chair
which is destined to prove of great
value and convenience to railroad
men, and add TO the comfort of the
passengers. The new chair is now
in use on the Virginia and Truckee
Railroad. II contains three sliding
steel blocks beveled into the Tugs of
the chair, the outer n being
screwed down to prevent them NOV
ing backward and forward, the blocks
forming tor being adjusted toy the
ends of the two stationary rails
so as 10 fit the end of the
movable rail. One Of these blocks
is two inches thick, one, one
inch, and one one-half inch in
thickness. which, by shifting, gives
seven different lengths to the rail,
thus accommodating the greatest ex-
pansion and contraction Of the
track. The cost of these blocks of
steel is only 12l cents per pound.
