J. BLUFoRD's EXHIBIT.
An exhibit that attracts general attention
from all spectators is that OF Mr. !. Blu
fords, in the eastern wing Of the main hall.
Mr.. Bluford is an electrician OF excellent stand
ing. and within tho past two years in this
city has done, perhaps moro in the way of
electrical manufactures than any other man
in the entire South. He has mastered the
science in a practical manner and by his e1-
hiblt tells TO the world that his products are
more than ordinary.
one OF them Is destined to act "a the happy
solution for the street-car noise matter II is
q raw hide pinion for electric cars. When
this pinion is made of brass or steel the noise
that is now 80 Objectionable ensues but with
the rawhide matters are happily different
The hide IS pressed between two brass side
pieces. and the cOgs are then cut Just in the |
same way steel would be. The whole con- |
trIvance IS almost as hard as brass but is not |
quite so heavy, piniOn not weighing |
over ten pounds. and nets admirably with the |
exception that it does not last quite as long |
The raw hide however, can be purchased |
cheaper than steel. and as a consequence |
there is q large demand for the new pinion.
The City Railway Company has sent Mr.. |
BlufOrd a large order and are using the pin |
ions as fast as they can be turned out from |
the factory.
Mr. Bluford also exhibited motor that to |
I, bo, ,l.a -
rided improvement on the Edison motor. |
The armatures are above the boxes, and the |
oil used does not flow down to them as with
tho Edison motor. Thus the improvement |
made by Mr.. Bluford causes the arinatures to
last longer. and az all times there is a per-
fectly clean machine
One of these motors, with fifteen horse
power. Is used by the Virginia Shoe Com
pany, and the latter are very complimentary
when they speak IN reference TO the machine.
