ICOLLPS I’.A’l‘EN'l‘ SAFETY SVVITCH

, for Railroad T urnouts. This invention, for

some time in successful operation on one of the prin-

cipal railroads in the country, eliectually revents

engines and their trains from running oil’ t e track
at a switch, left wrong by accident or design.

It acts independently of the main track rails, being
laid down, or removed, without cutting or displacing
them. . _

It is never touched by passingtrains, except when
in use, preventing their running oil the track. It is
simple in its construction and operation, requiririg
only two Castings and two Rails; the latter, even it
much worn or used, not objectionable;

‘Working Models,oI'* the Safety Switch may be
seen at Messrs. Davenport and Bridges, Cam,l,3ridge-
pprt, Mass, and atthe office of the Railroad Journal,

ew York. ,

FRENCH AND BAIRD’S PATENT SPAEE ARRESTER.

F O THOSE INTERESTED II“ _ -

Railroads, Railroad Director
and Managers are respectfully invi
Led to examine an improved Spark I
Arresteilrecently patented by the un
dersigned.

Our improved Spark Arrester:
have been extensively used durin g th« 1
last yeargon both passenger &: freigli 5
engines, and have been brought U ;
such a state ofperfection that no an ‘
noyance from sparks or dustfrom tha E
chimney ofenginesion which the) '
are used is experienced.

These Arresters are constructed or ___.___...______._._______ ,
an entirely different principle from any net-etolore onereu to the public
The form is such that a rotary motion is imparted to the heated air
smolre and sparks passing through the chimney, and by the centrifu-
gal force thus acquired by the sparks and dust they are separated from
the smoke andsteam, and thrown into an outer chamber of the chimney
through openings near its top, from whence they fall by their yowr _
gravity to the bottom of this chamber; the smoke and steam passing‘
off at the top of the chimney, through a capacious and unobstructec
passage, thus arresting the sparks ,without impairing the power 0
he engine by diminishing the draught or activity of the fire in the furnace. — . I

These chimneys and arresters are simple, durable and neat in appearance. They are now in use
on the following roads, to the managers and other ofiicers of which we are at liberty to refer those who
may desire to, purchase or obtain i'urther,ini'o_rn1ation in regard to their merits A ‘ J .
