958 Saunders, Charles, New Yard, Great Queen Street —Inventor.
Newly-designed park brougham with circular frontglasses, and round back ; also an elegant double sofa back,with fluted roof, and self-acting ventilators, in glassframes. It has a detached driving boot, connected toside cranes that pass under the body, connecting the hindaxletree, and dispensing with perch carriage, this being-much tighter. By this mode, the body has the ease andmotion of a chariot. Being hung with long braces, itdestroys all the drumming noise which is too frequentlyheard in close carriages. It has also got the exhibitor’snewly invented double lever wheelplate, locking on twocentres to shorten the carriage as much as may be re-quired, bringing the fore and hind wheels closer together,and the axletree does not lose the centre of the body whenthe carriage is being locked. B shows the top bed, which

forms a part of the top carriage. The central part ofthis bed is allotted to receive three levers be c, which arejointed at each end with a perch bolt. The middlelever b is bolted to the under carriage, and the top andbottom levers c c are respectively attached to the allottedtop bed b by fulcrum pins on which they turn; e'e is thewheelplate attached to the top carriage, the figure ofwhich is made up from curves struck from the centre offulcrum pins, making two distinct circles (as will beevident on inspecting the drawing). A is the frictionplates attached to futcliells, and having the same curvesas the wheelplate, forming a bed for that to slide over.When locking, the carriage draws the lever b from itsrecess, and causes the upper or the under lever (as thecase may be) to accompany it; but immediately thecarriage is changed to straight draught, the same effect isobtained as if there was a central bolt attachment. Thisinvention is applicable to any carriage.

The advantages of the improved elliptic carriage spring,with registered hoop or cap, are—1st. That the cap givesgreater elasticity to the spring, and imparts to it an easyand quiet motion. 2nd. The concussion, or jar, commu-nicated to the spring by the rotation of the wheels uponthe road, is received by the blocks of elastic material,which, acting as a non-conductor, prevent any vibrationbeing given to the upper half of the spring to which theupper beds and body of the carriage are attached, thusproducing a soft, easy, and pleasant motion, and releasingthe body from the disagreeable noise and vibration causedby the action of the old elliptic spring. One of the newsprings is exhibited as a testing machine.
