STREET CAR
LUBRICATOR
IS SUCCESS
WELD COUNTY MEN TEST PAT
ENT ON GREELEY SYSTEM
NEW DEVICE IS WINNER
Invention May BE Introduced on all
Traction Lines Throughout the
Country Following Intro
ductiOn on Local Lines

Greeleyites who rode on street car
No. 26 yesterday probably noticed
how smoothly it rounded the sharp
curves. The explanation was in
test being made of Days guard rail
lubricator, a device for oihng the
inside rail of curves operated in the
same manner as sand box is used
on a locomotive or traction car.
According to officials of the Gree
ley and Denver Railroad company
the test was most satisfactory and
there is strong probability that the
new invention will be installed on SO
many of the local cars as are neces-
sary to keep the inside rails proper
ly fabricated.
Under the name of the National
Invention company we'll known
Weld county men have perfected the
invention and will begin introducing
it in all of the larger cities of the
country. The device is simple. being
a small tank filled with oil under the
car that can be released at any
curve by the pressure of the motor
mans foot. The cost for equipping
n car is but $25 and less oil is re-
Quired than under the old sysytem of
having track walker grease the
tracks at certain intervals.
Many advantages are claimed for
the invention. Economy, safety and
simplicity are combined. The lubri-
Gator will obviate the necessity of
having man employed to grease
curves, saving the wage paid for this
work: it will apply the oil evenly so
that great humps will not be smear
ed about the track Unfortunately
and over foot crossings, and it will
quired when daubed on the tracks
with a brush.
Greater safety is also insured. It
is a we'll established fact that dry
rails and wheels are prevalent
cause OF cars jumping the tracks. 30
that this danger is reduced to a
minimum. A great saving is also
effected in the longer wear Of the
wheels and rails through being
properly oiled wheh used the hard
est
A model OF the invention was on
exhibition at the convention Of street
railway men held in Denver last
summer. It attracted favorable no.
tice OF officials from car lines all
over the country and was the sui
ject of an extended write up IN Of
ficial papers Of the railway men.
Officers of the company are W. L..
Day, president: G. M. Robbins. treas
urer. and r. d. Jesmer. secretary.
The headquarters Of tho comapny
are at Weldona. where It II probable
that a factory Will be established.
Within the newt few days It II ex-
pected that the lubricators will be
tested on the cars OF the Denver
tramway and negotiations are pend
ing for tests in other western cities.
Experts who have seen tho new in
vention in operation express great
confidence in II AZ necessity for all
street cars and predict its wide
adoption.
Greeley will shine in reflected
glory should the invention come in
to general use. as It WAS here that
the first car was equipped. In recog-
milton OF this the company has prom
ised later to install number of the
1ubricators on the Greeley system
free OF charge.
