Abstract: A track rail fastening system includes a rail cushion positionable laterally between a first fastener assembly and a second fastener assembly. The rail cushion includes a first full-length pad and a second full-length pad, and a pin field formed by a plurality of deformable pins. The first full-length pad and the second full-length pad define a first rail cushioning plane. The deformable pins in the pin field define a second rail cushioning plane. The cushion is deformable between a rest configuration where the cushioning planes are spaced, and a loaded configuration where the cushioning planes are co-planar. Primary, lower load deformable pins are configured to deflect such that under sufficient load both the primary, lower load deformable pins, and secondary, higher load pins engage an underlying substrate.

Abstract: A novel method of entering a pictorial competition of the type in which the position of an object omitted from a picture is required to be identified is in the form of a sheet on which a multiplicity of crosses or other indicia are displayed, the crosses being applied to a pictorial entry coupon in the position selected by the entrant. The crosses may be in the form of transferable markings on the sheet or the sheet itself, bearing the crosses, may be adhesively secured to the coupon by the entrant.
