TRANSACTIONS OF THE 



No. 3 represents a light road wagon, upon half-elliptic springs, with either 

 leather or panel boot, and double perch, to which a top may be applied by increas- 

 ing the weight of the running gear. This wagon has a three-fourth seat; they 

 make either one-half, three-fourth, or full seat, to accommodate either one or two 

 persons, and weighing from 140 lbs. upwards. Instead of making a hole through 

 the front axle, taking at least one-third its strength away, they clip the kino- bolt 

 over it, leaving the full strength, and enabling them to make the axle much lighter. 



No. 4 represents one of their light 

 cutters for the road; it is an origi- 

 nal style, made from their own 

 drawings, and is called the Port- 

 land cutter; it is extremely light, 

 but being constructed upon true 

 mechanical principles, of choice 

 hickory, and thoroughly stayed 

 and braced, with steel shoes, will 

 Figure 4. carry a weight of 500 lbs. with 



perfect security. They paint and decorate them in fine taste, and upholster with 



the finest moquets and plushes. 



No. 5 represents one of their 

 pony, or small family sleighs, 

 which, for symmetry, style, and 

 comfort, is unsurpassed. This is 

 also original; the decorations are 

 in black and gold, upholstered 

 with crimson plush. They also 

 build a compact sleigh for four 

 persons, which, by removing the 

 front seat, is changed into a cutter.
