This brake has been in operation more than a year, and is giving the most unqualified satisfaction. Several roads in Michigan, Indiana, and Illinois are now using it. It is found to possess important advantages over any other brake in use. It can be instantancously applied and as readily released, and the disagreeable noise which attends the releasing of the ordinary AIR BRAKE is entirely obviated.

The simplicity of its construction renders it less expensive as well as less liable to get out of repair, and we guarantee it to be as effective in its operation as any brake known.

The Chicago, Danville, and Vincennes Railroad was the first to adopt it, and we would refer to that Company for evidence as to its practical workings after a trial of several

months' constant use.

We will equip a trial train on any road, without charge if found unsatisfactory.

Wheels for City and Steam Roads, with or without axles, Driving Wheels and Chilled Tires, Brass and Iron Castings for Cars, Engines, Bridges, Roads, etc. Iron Trucks and Wrought-Iron Work for Cars, Frogs, Switches, Boring Mills, Hydraulic Wheel Presses, Axle-Lathes, and Railroad Machinery, executed in the best manner and on reasonable terms.

This is the oldest manufactory of chilled wheels in the country. The stock used is selected with great care, and is of such kinds as the experience of Mr. LOBDELL (thirty-five years, during which time he has made the subject his constant study) has found to be the best. All parts of the manufacture receive his personal attention.

His recently patented COMBINATION WHEEL will meet the wants of the age; it is stronger, admits of a better chill, and is better adapted to heavy engines and cars, and high speed, than any other wheel. The recently patented Hollow Spoke Wheel is free from the defects heretofore existing in this form of wheel.
