LOCAL MAN INvENTS A NUT LOCK FOR BOLTS

The model which is now on eXhi-
bition at the La Dow < Peterson store
has been locked and unlocked about
fifty times and there is no precepuble
wear on the threads. The feature
that makes it particularly practicable.
IL is claimed, is the fact that it is
device Inexpensive to embody in n
bolt and at the same time does not
weaken the bolt.
1t is a well known fact that a great
percentage Of the accidents to ma
chinery of any kind is due to the
luoSening of the nuts As preven-
tive for This double taps are used on
the bolts of a great deal of machin-
cry and iron work but even this Is
not sufficient protection. The need
for nutlocking device Is strongly
felt and If Mr.. Humphreys invention
