aforesaid Solicitor do hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as
follows:-
At the present time all axle clips for springs of carriages or other vehicles are

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
An Improved Method of Manufacturing Axle Olips for Springs of
Carriages or other Vehicles.
We, GEORGE SKIDMORE of 139 Oxford Street, Mesty Croft, Wednesbury, in
the County of Stafford, Fitter and Turner, and THOMAS JONES of Walsall Street
Wednesbury, aforesaid, Solicitor of Her Majesty's Supreme Court of Judicature
do hereby declare the nature of our said invention and in what manner the same is
to be performed to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:-
Our invention has for its object an improved method of manufacturing axles
clips for springs of carriages or other vehicles by which we cheapen the production
of such articles to a considerable extent besides producing a much better finished
article. Hitherto axle clips have been forged by hand or cast in malleable iron
by which processes considerable difficulty has been experienced in getting the
outsided corners up sharp and this we effect in a simple cheap and easy manner by
our new mode of manufacture.
In order that our invention may be clearly understood and more easily carried
into practice we have appended hereunto a sheet of drawings upon which we have
fully illustrated the nature of our said improvements.
Figure 1., is a view of a length of iron or steel rolled to the required section of the
axle clip.
.
Figure 2., is a view showing the axle clip as completed by our mode of
manufacture.
In carrying our invention into effect we roll the length of iron or steel into the
section shown by A at Figure 1 and of any suitable length for cutting transversely
into a number of the required articles and convenient for placing upon the lathe
and this rolled length of iron and steel we cut, saw, or otherwise sever into a
number of pieces which form the axle clip B Figure 2. By this mode the outside
corners or angles at 'and 62 are crossed and the angles brought up sharply. It
will be obvious that the section, shape and size of the clip may be varied by an
alteration of the rolled sections from which they are cut.
