Railway buffers and bearing springs.
The advantages of these buffer springs are, that they are combined in their action, whereby a greater power of resistance is offered with a less weight of steel than any other spring now in use, and at a less cost.
The grooved steel bearing springs possess great strength, combined with durability and cheapness in their manufacture, doing entirely away with spring fittings.
They are made by Bradley and Co, who are manufacturers of every description of railway buffers and bearing springs, Rishworth patent springs, and Price and Hawkins' patent fish plates.
For further information, application should be made to Bradley and Co., Broomhall, Sheffield.
