No. 27338.—18th February, 1910.—ROBERT McGAFFIN, of Hastings Street, Hastings, New Zealand, Contractor and Flax-miller. Improvements relating to automatic flax-catchers.*

Extract from Specification.—I employ a mutilated worm-wheel—that is, a wheel having sections of teeth with spaces between said sections—so that a continuously rotated worm-pinion partially rotates the wheel when in gear with a section of teeth, while when between the sections the wheel is at rest. The wheel is rotated to bring one section of teeth after the other into gear with the pinion by a pusher-rod at the end of a lever, which is vibrated by the rising of the upper feed-roller.

[NOTE.—The above extract from the specification is inserted in place of the claims.]

(Specification, 2s.)

No. 27666.—30th April, 1910.—MICHAEL WOODS, of 309 Pigdon Street, Princes Hill, Carlton, Victoria, Australia, Engineer, GEORGE WASHINGTON GILBERT, of 60 Queen Street, Melbourne, Victoria aforesaid, Sharebroker, and JOHN LITTLE, of 9 Nelson Road, Camberwell, Victoria aforesaid, Engineer. Improvements relating to the dressing of stone.

Extract from Specification.—This invention broadly consists in the use of dressing-tools having an exceedingly high peripheral velocity, each tool rapidly and evenly removing a relatively small amount from the protuberances of the whole of that part of the stone within its sphere of action. The tool then infeeds or moves inwardly towards the stone into another plane and treats its allotted portion again in that plane, and so continues until regularity is acquired. . . . In one apparatus the stone reciprocates, but in the other the stone maintains one position and the dressing-tools reciprocate.

Extract from Specification.—Consists in providing a combination rail composed of a metal trough and a core of wood, cement, stone, brick, or other suitable material, in which the wheels of the locomotive or other rolling-stock, adapted to light traffic, travel along the upper face of the core, and in which part of the metal casing for the core serves to guide the wheels of the rolling-stock against lateral deviations. A thin metallic trough-like receptacle is provided, preferably made of rolled iron or steel plate, in which the core is placed, and this core resting in the base of the trough-like receptacle, which is secured to the top of the ties, has its support low down with regard to the ties, and having a broad bottom, and being held in the metallic receptacle, is very firmly secured against all strains incident to service.
