Improvement Of the Driving Chain.

New YORK Sun.
A large share OF the attention Of cycle
investors is now directed toward the i'm
provement of driving chains. In the
cheaper grades of wheels particularly.
which are now turned out IN such great
numbers. the chains are seldom OF the
carefully constructed sort that Is neces-
sary to high grade bicycle. As a con-
sequence. complaints are frequently heard
about the wearing and stretching OF the
chains. The most nearly perfect chain
that has ever been constructed viii
stretch to some extent-aftsr a few days
use, but II the trouble Is experienced with
the chain after a months use II Is GER
tain that the chain has not properly
hardened links and rivets. II cannot be
denied that many poor chains are placed
upon supposedly high grade bicycles. and
such Is more apt to be the case so long
as the demand for bicycles continues
TO be so active. With the chains OF the
majority OF high grade bicycles little or
no trouble is experienced after they have
once been properly stretched. It Is the
complaints OF the riders of cheaper
wheels that have started inventors on a.
hunt for the perfect chain. A recently
patented chain has created considerable
favorable comment In the trade. In this
chain the pins are slotted on three sides
20 form q neck. The side plates are shsp-
ed 70 fit the neck Of the pin and have
an enlargement al the center or the slat
large enough 10 allow the pin TO pass
through. The narrow portion OF the slot
is Just wide enough 20 receive the neck
OF the pin. IL Is said that the heads OF
the pins hold them tightly IN place and
the parallel sides OF the neck prevent
any rotation In the side plates. The blocks
are Of the usual pattern. The parts be-
ing interchangeable. IL Is possible for the
rider to repair break in the chain with
y. L.
10 carry an extra link In the tool bag.
The chief point claimed for the chain
Is that IL may be adjusted without the
usual bother with the rear wheel chain
adjusting devices. IL is said that the
chain may he tiRhtened by turning each
pin In the chain through q half circle.
As 70 Is evident that the turning OF every
pin would shorten the chain too much
II Is necessary 20 turn only few pins
at regular intervals.
