No longer is the bicycle looked upon as
a toy. 1t has become one OF the greatest
time savers of the age. The improvements
made in the machine which are innumera-
bic, have for their object the decrease OF
weight without any sacrifice of strength
or durability. One of the most valuable
improvements in this respect was the
substitution of the wood for the steel rim
The most successful manufacture of wood
rims in this city or In the country Is Mr..
Il. A. Lord, whose factory Is at 20 CliI-
ford ST., where he has a plant made up OF
the most improved machinery for the pro-
duction OF bicycle rims of the hig hest
grade and durability. These rims are
made of maple and ash, and are composite
thus securing the greatest strength.
Straight grained maple and ash, cut from
the plank are used. These are scarfed and
Joined in such a way that when the inner
and outer parts are joined together there
is no weak point in the whole piece. The
parts are subjected to a pressure OF ten
tons. They are next turned to the desired
shape and size by special machinery in
vented by Mr.. Lord. When completed
they weigh but Is OF. will bear a mans
weight and can be sprung, hut will inn
med.ately return to the proper shape. The
superiority OF Mr.. Lords rims is conced-
ed by bicycle manufacturers everywhere,
end his trade in them all over the u. ,.
is very heavy, while large mum bers OF
them are exported. Although he has been
making them only about a year the BUSH
ness has grown to vast proportions, and
he mas now on hand orders that will take
him a year to complete. He also does an
extensive business in the manufacture CT
handsome, durable and convenient screens
for windows and doors, for which he hiss
received the highest commentator. MIR.
