ULLER’S PATENT INDIA RUBBER CAR
SPl{lNGS.——These Springs have been in use
for nearly four years, with 1110.~‘t complete success,
and they are now in useupon most of’ the principal
roads in this country. They are made oi’ the best
tnaterizil, are ccontnnical, light, and very easy in
their tnotion—all persons using them are guaranteed
against adverse claims.

Railroad companies are cautioned against the
statements made by the New England car company.
The India rubber used by the patentee is the best
that can he’Inat‘.e, and doesnotconilict with any ex-
isting patent. The rediculous statement that a pa-
tentee may not vend his own invention needs no re-
mark. - ‘ . »

The patent for these springs was granted to \V.
C. Fuller, in Oct, 1845, in the United States an:l in
England; A Mr. Ray claims to have invented an-
other spring, which counsel advise, is a mere eva-
sion of Mr. Fuller’s patent, and proceedings are be-
ing taken to stop that inlritigetnent.

“The New England Car Company” have pub-
lished an article from the pen of Mr. Hale, president
of the Boston andVVorcester railroad, expressing his
opinion concerni ng these springs—hut they l1a ve for-
gotten to publish the whole of that article; it is
therefore given in full now, and the portion omitted
by the New England car company is printed in ita-
ics, that the public may judge of the manner‘ in
which this “company” pervert Mr I-.lale’s meaning.

INDIA‘, RUBBER SPRINGS Eon RAILROAD (JARS.

. “Of the numerous uses to which the wonderlul
elasticity and durability of India rubber, renders this
material applicable, we are hardly aware of one, in
which it has been more successful than in forming
springs for railroad cars. VVe have had occasion
to observe, for some months past, its application to
this use, on one of the passenger cars on the New-
ton special train ofthc Boston and W'orcester rail-
road. - It is there used not only for the springs on
which the car rests, but for the springs attached to
the draw bar, at each end ofthe car, to prevent any
jar on the sudden commencement, orinterruption ot
the motion of the car. For both these purposes it
appears to be admirably adapted, and we do not
learn that during the period in‘ which it has been
used, any defect in it has been discovered. It ren-
ders the movements of the car. extremely easy, and
protects it more efiectually, we think, than any other
spring which we have seen in use, from every harsh
or unpleasant motion, either vertical or horizontal.
It is also simple in its form and application, ex-
tremelylight, and-little liable to get out of repair.
During the .perio_d of.soine,mouth,s, in. which we have
seen the springs in operation, there is no apparent
wear or diminution of its efiiciency. Each spring
is composed of sovorvzl ci7‘c7tla7' lag/c7's or 7'i/zzgs of I /trlia
rubber, a l/tin metallic plate ‘of Me srzmc size being in-
lcrposcrl be/rocen cm:/L of tire lag/crs. From Me simpli-
city of its form, it cr.1.n7_zol be C’.’l2]JL’7LS'l'l7L’, and it culmils of
being mrulc more or less clnslic almost at gzzleosnre. The
invention, we understand, was first patented in Eng-
land, wltcre it has been inlrozlnccd into general use on
seveml of (be, principal railroads, and we have no doubt
it will come into verycrclcnsiuc use in. this country. T/to
patent for this invention, we nnderslrmol, has been
granted to Mr. W’. C. Fuller, in England and France,
and also in this country/. Mr. Kne1>iIt«, of New York,

AILROAD SCALES.---THE ATTEN-
tion of Railroad Companies is particularly re-
quested to Ellicotts’ Scales, made for weighing load-
ed cars in trains, or singly, they have been the in-
ventors, and the first to make platform scales in the
United States; supposing that an experience of 20
years has given a knowledge and superior advan-
tage in the business.

The levers of our scales are made of wrought
iron, all the bearers and fulcrums are made of the
best cast steel, laid on blocks of granite, extending
across the pit, the upper part of the scale only being
made of wood. E. Ellicott has made the largest
Railroad Scale In the world, its extreme length was
one hundred and twenty feet, capable of Weighing
ten loaded cars at a single draft. - lt’WaS put on the
Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Railroad.

‘We are prepared to make scales of any size to
weigh from five pounds to two hundredtons.
