A marine brake WAS exhibited on FRI
day on the steamer Florence. 1t was
invented by John McAdam. At the
stern of the steamer, on each side, is a
fin or fat board of iron eight and a half
feet by Blk feet in size. 1t is close to
the rudder, ana fits into the deadwood
when not in operation. When extended
the fins are at right angles with the Iud-
der when amidships. There are power.
full springs on both starboard and port
sides. These are worked from the
pilot house by trigger, and detach the
pin from the deadwood, and the pres
sure OF the water completes the open
ing. A wlndlass winds the pins back to
the sides of the boat again.
The trial trip was made up the East
River. Going at full speed against the
tide. with engines reversed as the brakes
were applied, the Florence stopped
short inside of her own length, before
back turn was completed.
Shippers of coasters at anchor were
astonished to see the Florence dash up
at tel,-knot rate to within 100 feet and
then come to hal alongside. One
amazed skipper rosred out:
"Porf your helm Hard aport,

lin and Carew, who have stated their
case to members oi congress, and Mr..

champion their cause.
