HILLED RAILROAD VVHEELS.-—THE
undersigned are now prepared to. manufacture
their Improved Corrugated Car Wheels, or Wheels
with any form of Spokes or Disks, by anew process
which prevents all strain on the metal, such as is
is produced in all other chilled wheels, by the man-
ner ofcasting and cooling. By this new method oi
manul'acture, the hubs of all kinds of wheels may
be made whole—-that is, without dividing them into
sections—thus rendering the expense of handing un-
necessary; and the wheels subjected to this process
will be much stronger than those of the same size
and weight, when made in the ordinary way. ‘
