page_text: I ROBERT GRINDLE of Standard Works Sheepcote St Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Axletree Maker do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows:-
This Invention has for its object improvements in Carriage Axles by obviating
noise and rattle in the working.
To accomplish this I screw a Metal Cup D into the inside of Axle Bush F figr 1
by which means the Axle Bush F works on the axle H between Leather Washers K. K
and screwed up and regulated into its working position by a right and left hand
nut A and C To prevent the right hand nut A screwing up the friction of the Wheel
revolving a Metal Cup B is applied which will fit on the squares of the right hand
nut A. and take an inner bearing on the flat G which is made on the axle H between
the right and left hand as shown in figure 2.

page_text: I ROBERT GRINDLE of Standard Works Sheepcote Street Birmingham in the
County of Warwick, Axletree Maker do hereby declare the nature of my inven-
tion for IMPROVEMENTS IN CARRIAGE AXLES and in what manner the same is
to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement, reference being made to the drawing with my Provisional
Specification:
The Invention has for its object improvements in Carriage Axles, by obviating
noise and rattling in their working. »
According to my Invention I am enabled to dispence with the ordinary Metal
Collett and at the same time secure a sufficiently large surface bearing at each end
of the Axle Bush.
To accomplish this I screw a Metal Cup D into the inside of the Axle Bush F
a Cavity being cut in the Nave of the Wheel to receive Cup D which is secured
in its position by wedges by which means the Axle Bush F works on the axle H
between leather washers K K and screwed up and regulated into its working
position by a right and left hand nut A and C.
It having occurred to the Inventor that the right hand nut
may after much
use become slack and screw up by the friction of the wheel revolving
He claims the right of applying between the right and left hand nut A and take
an inner bearing on flat G which is made on the axle H between the right and left
hand nuts as shewn on figure 2.
Therefore when the wheel is screwed in its working position by the right hand
nut, the Cap B is inserted into its position and locked by the left hand nut C and
Linch pin.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is
First the screwing of a Metal Cup D into the Axle Bush F as shewn in figure 3
and shewn in reference to figures 3 to 6 inclusive of the drawing accompanying
my provisional specification.
Second the locking of the right hand nut by means of the Metal Cup B as shewn
in reference to figures 1-9 and 10 of the drawings accompanying my provisional
specification.
Third constructing the axle H with a flat bearing G between the right and
left hand screws to receive the Metal Cup B as shewn in reference to figures
2, 9 & 10.
In witness whereof I the said Robert Grindle have hereunto set my hand and
seal this first day of June one thousand eight hundred and eighty six.
