understood and readily carried into effect, I will proceed to describe the
Drawing hereunto annexed, in which the same letters of reference are used to
indicáté similar parts wherever they occur..
DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING.
Figure 1 represents a Plan, Figure. 2 a side elevation, and Figure 3 a.
section, of a castor constructed according to my Invention. Figure 4 shows a
Plan, and Figure 5 a side elevation, of another arrangement of castor, differing
in the means by which the castors are affixed to parts of furniture, but similar
in construction so far as my improvements are concerned; and I may here
remark, that my Invention simply relates to the mode of applying wheels or
rollers to castors, and the Invention is not confined to any particular shapes.or
árrangements of the other parts of castors, but the same may be varied in
pattern and construction to suit the object desired... The castors shown in the
Drawing have each two wheels or rollers a, a, as is shown, and it is the
application of two wheels or rollers to each castor; as herein shown and a
described, that constitute the novelty of the Invention.
In witness whereof. I. the said Henry Pane have hereunto set me
