Marietta Journal: Some weeks ago we
gave statement about Mr. J. Bolan Glover,
Jr., son of Superintendent Glover of the
Marietta and North Georgia railroad of this
place, having invented and patented "car
axle lubricator." One of the greatest
troubles in running trains is keeping the
journals oiled to prevent friction, catching
on fire, or getting so hot as to melt. Our
friend Bolan, who is a mechanical genius.
has successfully Invented a lubricator that
does tie work efficiently. His invention has
been tried on cars on the Marietta aud North
Georgia railroad, and the test has proven
to be the very thing needed. The car has
run 900 miles before the oil needed replen-
ishing in the lubricator, thus showing how
great a saving of time and labor this axle
lubricator will be.
