[November, 
THE TORSION SPRING 
in its various applications as 
WAGOftl SPRING, 
SEAT SPRING, 
and TONGUE SPRING, 
lias been in use over Six Tears, and for the last two 
years has obtained an enviable reputation wherever in¬ 
troduced. The principle of applying the elastic proper¬ 
ties in the 
Twist or Torsion of a Steel-Rod 
to mechanical purposes, lias long been in familiar use 
as a door spring, but not to any great extent for other 
purposes till a recent date. Its simplicity, and the ease with which it can he applied to nearly all purposes, for which a 
spring is used, dan not fail to produce an entire revolution in the manufacture of springs. It has been subjected to the 
severest tests, which were possible to apply, and has passed through the ordeal with a success gratifying and complete. 
It was awarded the First Premium and Medal over the Elliptic and all other competitors, at the American In¬ 
stitute, New York City, in Nov mber, 1870. It is now being applied by the War Department to Government Wagons going 
on the Plains. 
1. It occupies but little space. 2. It is light, weighing from 25 to 60 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 with 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. SEND FOR. CIRCUTL ARS.
