19,973. Jeppsson, N. Sept. 12. Weigh-vehicles.-Fig. 1 shows a railway wagon. Bars b bridged by the plated have rollers c adapted to bear on the axles a. The pointer k and scale o are-pivoted on the pin m of the plate d, which has a second pin n forming a pivot for the arms l, p jointed to the levers i, j, carrying pins h mounted in slots g in a frame forming part of the body. The load in the vehicle depresses the pins h, and, the pointer and scale moving in opposite directions, the weight is recorded. The plate d is connected by a fork q to pins s mounted in slots r. When the pins are pushed downwards and sideways by handles, the bars b are moved clear of the axles. The draw-bar x is connected to the plate d by the catch y and bar u, so that, should the weighing- apparatus be in operation, a pull on the bar immediately throws it out of gear. The pointer has an adjustable band a'.
