SHAMROCK-GLONA RUBBER BELT. 



SINCE the advent of motor cycling tlie question of transmis- 

 sion has been much discussed, and it is clear that the ruliber 

 and canvas belt' has been the conqueror in this contest. 

 The "Shamrock-Glona" has a grooved bottom part, by means 

 of which the greatest possible flexibility is obtaint-d. It is made 

 in separate lengths, thus allowing the utmost care to be given 

 to the details of manufacture. After preparing the canvas

core, which constitutes the strength of the belt, it is so covered 

 with a superior quality of rubber as to insure an equal distribu- 

 tion of the same at the sides of the belt. This belt is made all 

 through of an angle of 28 degrees in sizes of from ^ inch to 

 1% inches. The latter size is designed specially for side car 

 work for high-powered machines. [The Hanover Rubber Co.,

LITTLE WONDER LAWN SPRINKLER. 



A NEW lawn sprinkler termed the "Little Wonder" is illus- 

 trated in a cut herewith. This sprinkler is made in gray iron, 

 enameled red, and the spray is produced by a new and improved 

 method on which a patent has been applied for. It gives a finely 

 divided misty spray, distributing the water evenly over a circle 

 the circumference of which, of course, varies in size with the 

 amount of pressure used, but the "Little Wonder" works well

with eitlier light or heavy pressure. The distinctive thing about 

 this sprinkler is its price. It is being put on the market at a 

 rate which will allow it to be retailed at 25 cents. This invention 

 is being put on the market on June I, and shipments of the 

 sprinkler can be made after that date. [W. D. Allen Manu-

■■ROYAL" PRESSED METAL HOSE RACK. 



In line with the present tendency towards the ui 

 metal in building construction, a new article in the 

 racks is being introduced — the "Royal," made of 



wires, which

 pressed into shape; the top folds of the hose are protected from

Special attention is called to the feature of the attached pins. 

 As each successive fold is withdrawn, one end of the supporting 

 pin drops, releasing one fold of the hose, the pin remaining at- 

 tached to opposite side of the rack, ready for immediate use 

 when the hose is returned to the rack. These supporting pins 

 are of pressed metal, and are of so large a radius that the hose 

 will not pinch at the folds. They are non-corrosive. The 

 "Royal" racks may be attached, to the wall, to the standpipe. or, 

 by means of a nipple, direct to valve. [Wirt & Kno.x Manufac-

 is shown in the cut herewith. It is not unsightly as arc some
