Similar letters refer to similar parts in the two gures.
The contrivanee consists of a drum-shaped skeleton of steel, (or other suitable materiah) around the outside and midway between the two sides of which is a grooved guide A, the whole being a peculiar-shaped wheel adapted to run upon a single round-top track B. Within the drum is a freelyehanging car C, sus- 25 pended from the axle D ot the wheel. At the extremities of this axle are two freely-moving flanged wheels E, which run upon elevated rails F on either side, keeping the carriage upright when running straight away and con- 30 pended within, the position of the carriage, 40
