  • Patent number: 4068823
    Abstract: The apparatus comprises: an elongate rigid member of sufficient length so as to sit transversely on a pair of rails; a pair of spaced hydraulic jacks fixedly mounted to the rigid member and each provided at its head portion with a fitting element adapted to engage the under portion of the bolster of a railway car truck; and hydraulic conduits connecting the jacks to an external power source; the apparatus is inserted sidewise between the wheels of the car truck and, once positioned on the rails, it is manually rotated at one end to bring the jacks in vertical alignment with the bolster; the power source is energized to exert a lifting pressure on the bolster so as to free the suspension springs of the car truck from the weight of the car.

  • Patent number: 3939734
    Abstract: The disclosure herein is concerned with an automatic transmission in which rotation of an input shaft engages a first centrifugal clutch assembly which, in turn, drives reduction planetary gears and, as the input speed picks up, a second centrifugal clutch assembly comes into play whereby the entire system between the input and output shafts rotates as a unit. The clutch assembly consists of an extensible roller bearing provided with a series of circumferentially spaced openings in which are received roller weights arranged in pair and in contacting engagement with adjacent surfaces of pressure discs which, together with co-acting clutch discs, also form part of the clutch assembly.
