29496. ''W. N. Clark's nidder hanger." (Patented September 3, 1867.) 

 James B. Clark, Chester, Conn. 

 "Advantages claimed for this banger: To ship the rudder one has only 

 to enter the tongue (which has the rudder already attached) in the 

 grooved iilate from the top just far enough to get it steady, and then let 

 it down, when it will go to its place without furtlier care. Hence arises 

 the iir.st great advantage which this hanger possesses over the old way, 

 viz, the ease and dispatch with which the rudder can be shipped under 

 all circumstances.
