Definitions

- the body of the cross-tie is made of a rolled iron girder of T cross section. It is proposed to cut these cross-ties from the girders as they come from the rolls while hot, and to stamp the lugs O O at the same handling. Then, while still warm, the ties are to be immersed in a bath of melted asphalt or some other weather-proof paint, thus insuring their being able to resist rustby exposure in use.

UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE HENRY REESE, OF BALTIMORE, MARYLAND.
IMPROVEMENT IN RAI LWAY-TIES.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 163,254, dated May 11, 1875; application filed April 2, 1875.
To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HENRY REESE, of Baltimore city, State of Maryland, have invented a new and Improved Railroad Gross-Tie; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of this specification, in which- Figure l is a side elevation, partly in section; Fig. 2, a plan View.
The object of this invention is to furnish at a minimum cost an iron cross-tie, practically indestructible and permanent, in place of those made of timber, which last but a few months, and whose renewal is a source of great and never-ending expense to the railroad corporations.
Arepresents a T-iron cross-tie, on which are placed, at the proper interval, rails B B, whose inner base-flanges b b are overlapped and held by the fixed and bent lugs C, while the outside ones I) b are retained by the adjustable clamps D. The tapering plates or wedges E E pass under, while they are also guided and held by, the bent lugs O, fixed to jars.
It will be perceived that the body of the cross-tie is made of a rolled iron girder of T cross section. It is proposed to cut these cross-ties from the girders as they come from the rolls while hot, and to stamp the lugs O O at the same handling. Then, while still warm, the ties are to be immersed in a bath of melted asphalt or some other weather-proof paint, thus insuring their being able to resist rustby exposure in use.
What I claim is- A T-iron railroad cross-tie provided near each end with oppositely-facing bent lugs O O, in combination with the U-shaped clamps D and wedges E, as and for the purpose specified.
HENRY REESE.
