structing metal arches for bridges, I propose
to construct hollow trunks, either of four or
SIX sides, formed of fiat plates, or some offat
plates and some of lattice bars, the SAID
trunks having q section of the form of q
trapezoid when four sided and of the form
oftwo t~rapezoids when placed base to

of the arch or chord of two metal pieces,
n of which receives the end of the chord
on its face and Is supported by t%runions
In bearings on the top of the other piece
which is bedded in the foundation SO that
the piece supporting the end can turn
readily as required by the expansion and
contraction Of the arch" Mr.. Valleley is
a prominent and leading member of the
Canton Wrought Iron Bridge Company,
and hopes and expects by his patent to be
able to furnish wrought iron and steel
bridges of the same strength and capacity
at a much lower price than all former
patents,
