ANOTHER DEVICE
BEING PATENTED ny A PADUCAH
RAILROAD MAN.
Mr.. Finis Fields Has an Improved
Way Of Working Tackle at
Wrecks.

Mr.. FINS Fields, foreman of the
local I. g. wrecking crew who has
devised an appliance to permit the
safe movement of trains with a bent
axle or broken fange. has stlll an
other patent which he Is having re-
corded at Washington.
The second invention pertains to
the tackle in working wrecks, and
makes II possible TO do work quicker
and with less chance of delay from a
weak anchorage.
At present wnen the wrecking
crew goes out to work a wreck and
has to pull a car or engine on the
track, a hole is dug under the track
and chains linked around the rail.
This affords an anchorage for the
tackle. but sometimes the track pulls
up. and Mr.. Fields having had much
trouble from this source, set about to
find a remedy.
The device is simple and does away
with the digging under the track. II
is two-piece iron clamp which fits
over the track and comes In on the
sides, making a solid piece, the track
being the center. A heavy bolt IL
run through the top SO that the two
pieces come together about the track.
A large iron ring Is run through the
top and this is the anchorage for the
tackle. Besides doing away with the
digging. is an improvement in anoth-
err way, for, instead of making the
strain upward, which sometimse pulls
up the track. the new arrangement
is clamped on tn far side of the
fish plat" and this gives the pull
straight down the track. and II there
is any give-way at all will be in the
rails pulling in two, or stretching
and this is impossible. Since Mr..
Fields two patents have been sent
away and the public has become &C
quainted with the value of them
Mr.. Fields has received many offers
from local capitalists who want to
back" him, but he has refused all
offers.
