PATRICK HARAN'S FENDER.
II VIII Bc Tested on Ono of the Traction
COmDany's C.frS Today


Patrick Haran, of Green Ridge was
engaged yesterday putting a fender on
one of the open cars of the Scranton
Traction company. The fender was in
vented by Mr.. lHaran. and 1t is expected
that everything will be in readiness to
give 1t a trial today.
Mr.. Haran is a machinist by trade
and Is employed as a foreman at the
Delaware and Hudson roundhouSe at
Green Ridge. He has given much
thought and attention to the fender
problem and the appliance that is now
about to be tested is the result.
1t has a number of points of su-
periority. it Is claimed, over any fender
now In use. One of the principal ones
is that it is fastened to the trucks of
the car instead of to the body. thereby
avoiding much of the upward and
downward motion which keeps the or
dinary tenders bobbing about at dis
tance of from three to fifteen inches
from the rails. An automatic arrange
ment keeps the fender close to the rail
at all times. On paved streets, such
as we have in the center of the city. the
fender can be kept within two or three
inches of the pavement
The rim of the fender Is supplied
with a rubber cushion filled with air to
prevent injury to the person the fender
may strike. Spiral springs which al
low the fender to recede when an OBJ
ject Is struck also assist materially in
breaking the force of the blow. A
number of experts who have examined
the fender pronounce II one of the best
yet devised. 1t remains to be seen II
today's test will justify all that has
been predicted for it.
