CAPTAIN BOLTON’S PATENT for am IM- 
‘ PROVED RUDDER, and the MEANS of 
PRESERVING fee RUDDER. 
~APTAIN BOLTON’s invention of 
& an “* IMPROVED RUDDER” 1s de- 
{cribed, in the fpecification, as a rudder 
prepared with means for enlarging its 
breadth, whenever this fhall be necefiary. 
It is made in two parts; or, with a 
flit of fufficient width, paffing, at the ex- 
terior edge, down the middle of its thick- 
nefs. In this aperture is inferted a trian- 
gular piece of wood, or plate of metal, 
which hangs on a centre- pin paffing through 
its head, and through the whole thicknefs 
ef the rudder; has the head, for conve- 
nience in turning, femi-circular, and fur- 
nifhed with teeth to fuftain it at any par- 
ticular degree of extenfion; and, when not 
actually employed to enlarge the breadth 
of the rudder, fills the flit which was 
made to contain it. A bolt, pafling 
through the head of the rudder, or at its 
back, is made to throw out or draw back 
the moveable piece of wood, or plate of 
metal, whenever it is moved to right or 
jeft. The piece of wood, or plate of me- 
¢al, when thrown forward by the bolt, 
gives a confiderable extenfion of the rud- 
der’s breadth at its lower extremity. 
That part of the invention which re- 
{pects the ** Prefervation of the Rudder,” 
accomplifhes this end by fo hanging it 
on the flern-poft, that it may be lifted at 
pleafare with a fcrew, or any other of the 
~gnechanical powers. In the draught ac- 
companying the fpecification, that mode 
* exhibited in which the invention has

been tried in aétual ufe. AQ flide or bolt, 
fixed by ftrong braces to the ftern-poft, is, 
by pintles and goofings, conneéted with 
the rudder. A fcrew-bolt paffes through. 
the licad of the flide; and, when turned 
by a lever at its fop, above the deck, 
ferves to elevate that flide. “The rudder 
being hung upon the flide, and firmly af- 
tached to it, is, at the fame time, 
railed. 
Thefe inventions are obvioufly adapted 
to prove effentially ufeful to the feaman. 
There are many. occafions on which an 
extraordinary power of rudder is wanted, 
and, onall fuch, Mr. Bolton’s contrivance 
for enlarging the breadth of the rudder 
will undoubtedly be of fervice. The lofg 
of the rudder by its touching on a rock, © 
is, in very many inftances, the caufe of 
the lofs of the veffel to which it belongs. 
This will be almoft always effeétualiy 
prevented, if rudders be hung in fucha 
manner that that they may be {crewed 
up or otherwife elevated at pleafure.
