the most complete device of the kind
that has ever been made. Capt. Little

GEO. G. TOWNSEND, c. f., Frostburg, Md
My Dcar Sjr-llaving had your "Pin Pull
er" in almost constant use in the load-house
at our new mine for the past five months,
and having subjected it to the most thorough
tests as to its strength and efficiency, now
take pleasure in bearing witness to the perfect
it has given in every respect
In its construction the machine is extreme
ly simple, compact and inexpensive, while in
its action it is quick, sure and perfectly auto
matte. 1t never strains or breaks the car in
any way, and there are no springs or other
small parts to fail or get out of order. 1t pulls
the ordinary cnd-gate pin without the inter
ventiOn of the cross lever on each car, which
IS used in many places, and is readily adapt
ed to open end-gates which are fastened with
a cross-latch, or to work in places when the
car, having been dumped, continues to move
forward, tn make room for the next loaded
car, as in the Mitchell Dump" or when cars
are dumped from trestle with or without a
movable tip.
To anyone needing a machine of this kind
| can recommend your pin puler" as by
iar the best and cheapest one in the market.
Very truly yours, JAMES LITTLE,
Superintendent
