THE TORSION SPRING 
iii its various applications as 
WAGON SPRINC, 
SEAT SPRINC, 
and TONGUE SPRINC, 
has been in use over Six Years, and for the last two 
years has obtained an enviable reputation wherever in- 
troduced. The principle of applying the clastic proper- 
ties in the 
Twist or Torsion of a Steel-Rod 
to mechanical purposes, has long been in familiar use 
as a d«or spring, but not to any great extent lor other 
purposes till a recent date. Its simplicity, and the ease with which it can be applied to nc:irly all purposes, for which a 
spring is used, can not fail to produce an entire revolution in the manufacture of springs. It lias been subjected to the 
severest tests, which wero possible to apply, and has passed through the ordeal with a success gratifying and complete. 
It was awarded the First Premium and Modal over the Elliptic and all other competitors, at the American In- 
stitute, New York City, iu Nov .mber, 1S70. It is now being applied by the War .Department to Government Wagons going 
on the Plains. 
1. Itoccupiesbut little space. 2. It is light, weighing from 25 to 00 pounds complete. 3. It is sold very much lower than 
the common spring. 4. It can be applied to any kind of farm wagon, without change of construction. 5. A wagon 
will weigh from 400 to 1,500 pounds less, than when supplied with the common truck spring. 6. It can be instantly re- 
moved. 7. A wagon will last two or three times as long, when used witli the Torsion Spring. 8. Twenty per cent 
greater loads can be carried by a wagon using it. 9. A horse can draw twenty per cent more on a wagon with this spring 
than without. 10. It never loses its elasticity. SE.VD FOR CIRCU1.A.RS.
