INTRODUCTORY 'N presenting this, our Third Annual Catalogue, we take pleasure in calling to your notice, illustrations of our latest improved patent Section, Inspection, Telegraph and Steel Velocipede Cars ; also our new Steel Bag-age Trucks We have, hy oarof.il study, expensive experiments, tliree years' experience, special machinery, and by using carefully selected material, been enabled t.^ produce good., that for utility, durability, strength and safety, have proved highly satisfactory to our customers and ourselves. We call the attentioa of those interested to the 'superior points of excellence of our production. OUR BUSINESS. About three years ago this Company commenced, in a small way, to manufacture a cast and wrought iron Three-Wheel \e ocipede Car, the weight of it being two hundred pounds. The main principle of the car was considered by practical railroad men to be far superior to anything of the kind ever invented, but we received some complaints, calling our attention to excessive weight, imperfect castings, imperfections in workmanship, etc. We consequently set out to improve our car about eighteen months ago, and by December 1st, 1884, we commenced to ship our all steel and malleable ikon velocipede CARS, weight only one hundred and thirty-five pounds, and each car constructed to carry either one or two men We have shipped smce that time nearly one thousand cars, and are happy to say. with three exceptions, they have proved themselves highly satisfactory to the purchasers, as will be seen by rofen ing to the flattering testimonials in this catalogue. We insert only a few testimonials, but have over five hundred on file in our otflce (most of which are unsolicited), which are always open for KALAMAZOO RAILROAD VELOCIPEDE COMPANY. ^"''"''' '''' '''''' steadily increasing '^'^" ^^""'^'^"^ ^^''^ '« every mon,h° We ^ve in creauc n. of ^ "^ P^«' J^"''- ""^ "^'^' '" °"" '"""'^ ^^"'^^ ^^^'"^^«^>- building. 60 X 1G5 feet"^ a"^ dde^T "„ '^ "-'^ spee i naS I'ITT' 'T latest We lected OUR ctory VELOCIPEDE CARS ARE USED BY ce of Sup'ts Bridges and Buildings.

PEDE have lelves only n for KALAMAZOO RAILROAD VELOCIPEDE COMPANY. by the liancls and feet, and is easily run by eitheu one or two men. Wliere two men are operating, each does an equal amount ot labor. The motion is the same as rowing. The operator always sits facing the direction in which the car is being run. The car is so constructed that it can not tip off the track in making curves, no matter how fast it is being propelled Our car runs backward as well as forward on level and straight track, which is considered a great advantage over other \elocipedes. Axle revolves under friction rollers. These rollers are four inches in diameter, with brass boxes which run on five-eighths hard machinery steel journals. PATENT WHEELS. We use a patent anti-buckling all steel wheel, twenty inches in diameter, suspension tension ; machinery steel tire FLANGED and HARDENED. This proccss of making greatly increases strength. Steel staples are riveted in countersunk hole^ in lire. Bessemer steel spokes, doubled with conical-shaped heads, made cold, pass through staples, and heads are hooked in recesses m huos-compleling sure, strong, and perfect foundation and suspension.
