for which he refused twelve hundred

that he viii recover.
1t is with much pleasure that we
note any new invention in the mechani-
cal, or any new discovery in scientific
departments and more particularly when
the inventor is an irhabitant of this
State. L. B. Clogston, formerly of
Boston, but now resident of this place,
has invented and patented saw frame
and gear for raising and lowering a gang
of saws, which will make revolution in
saving marble. The saw frame is con
structed of wrought iron, the sides are of
four inch gas pipe, and the ends are con-
structed of thick boiler iron. The SUI
periority of this frame over the one for
merly used is It's lightness, (being about
one-third as heavy the ease with which
the saws can be placed in and removed
from the frame, and also the ease with
which it can be handled, and being light
er it can be run at greater rate of
speed. The gearing or machinery for
feeding is intended to take the place of
the Merriman screw and bevel gear
This consists of two upright smooth
pieces of iron in the place of the
screw in the Merriman gear. Upon
these upright pieces there is placed
a clump in such position that as the
saw lowers, this slides down with ease
but when an attempt is made to raise
the gang of saws up this clump takes
hold of the upright side-irons with a
grip and holds the gang down in its
place, solid. When the gang is to be
raised handle IS taken hold of and pull
ed down a little, which throws the
crump into such position that the gang
can be raised with ease. The claims of
this invention over the Merriman screw
and bevel gear are First, the simplicity
and cheapness of construction Second.
there is no loss of power holding the
gang firm and doing away with the heavy
jolting stroke; Third, the ease and
quickness with which the gang can be
raised or lowered Fourth, it will do one
third more work in the same length of
time and with the same amount of pow
er. The use of this clamp is a new and
important discovery in mechanism, and
can be used in various ways. The feed
ing gear is new and novel arrangement
which | will not attempt TO describe,
suffice to say, it must be seen in order
to be understood. The whole making
the most complete set of machinery
for saving marble ever invented.
