NEGRO INvENTs BRAKE SHOE.
Has Interested Railway Men in an
Appliance for Locomotives.

-AAgfgAAeAAANN A4A A@OGCAAAOAAhNSss
Louisville, Ky, Jan. I5.-In his in
vention and patent of an improved
brake for locomotive wheels, Henry
II. Urquhart, colored, believes he has
something which will make him a
wealthy man. The invention is highly
approved by thOrOughgOing and eX-
perienced railroad men. who predict a
large measure of acceptability for it.
To most people a description of the
new brake would be unintelligible, but
it is in the shoe, that part of the brake
that fits against the surface OF the
wheels, that the most marked improve
ments are said to have been made. The
method of attaching the shoe to the
head of the brake is also said to be
better than that now employed At
present the brake is made from a
piece of resilient iron, curving SO as to
yield under the pressure that is ap-
piled to it.
BY the present manner of fastening
it to the head a bolt is used. which
when the pressure is heavy. is held di-
rectly against the surface of the wheel
1t often breaks when the engine is go
ing at high rae of speed and results
in more or less serious consequences
T7rouhart's plan will do away with
all danger of breakage, he claims. The
head is fitted directly into the body of
the shoe and the attachment IS away
from the wearing surface. Aside from
that advantage the shoes are rever-
sible. Several of the leading railroads
notably the Southern and the Illinois
Central, are investigating the new in
vention with view to equipping their
engines with it.
Urquhart is in negotiation with
manufacturers for the sale of his prod
uct Urquhart is 3S years of age, and
has been employed around railroads for
twenty years. His home is in Pa
ducah. but ne is in Louisville at pres
emit The improvements were suggest
ed to him by the frequent breaking Of
the style brakes now in use.
