cient adhesion to the surface with out digging it up, and adapt themselves to any turn of the carriage. The under part of these feet are formed into short strong brushes, supported by iron teeth, that would take effect in the event of the other part failing.

In going down a hill these propellers are lifted off the ground, by the guide at pleasure, so that the carriage proceeds entirely by its own gravity: if the descent should be steep, or the motion too rapid, the guide then makes use of a break, by which the motion can be retarded or entirely stopped. If the carriage is proceeding upon a level,

the lifting of the propellers alone stops the carriage gradually, but quickly if ascending an inclined plane. This application of the propellers affords also easy means of making a turn in the road, simply by lifting them on one side, and allowing them to act on the other, which is done by the mere pulling of a cord: the guide has also the power of producing the same effect by turning a lever in front of him, which, by means of a pinion, operates upon a toothed sector on the circular frame that surrounds the front wheel; either of these modes may be employed, or both of them in conjunction.
