TRIAL ON TIE ". q ". r. r., LAST SATURDAY.
On Saturday last Miltimore newly patented
Oar Wheels were placed in nacoupleof trucks, and
then placed under the passenger car OF the mail
train OF the Wilmington and Western Rail Road
for teet. The axle upon which these wheels
reyolve is stationary, being firmly secured
in the boxing, requiring no alteration in the
trucks. The wheels are adjusted upon the axle
to suit either the broad or narrow gauge. A
sleeve is made to fit upon the axle between the
wheels, which keeps them securely in their
places. The sleeve may revolve or net, accord
ing to the friction or pressure OF the wheels
against 1t. -,
The advantage of this new wheel is readily
seen on railroad having short curves. There
is no sliding OF the wheel on the outside track.
as is now the case where the wheels are fastened
to the axle, and all reVolve together. With the
new patent, the outside wheel in rounding curve
simply makes more revolutions than the inside
wheel and prevents the shrill creakng noise by
the sliding of wheels, which ia SO very disagree
able to travellers of nervous sensibilities,
The trial on Saturday was very satisfactory
one in every respect, and fully met all the claims
OF the patentee.
We learn that similar trials have been made
on roads in all parts Of the country with the
same success, and that several Influential rail
road companies are about to substitute them for
the old fashioned wheels.
