Win. Hajior of this city is the mventor
of a front wtteel steering inechau.sm
for motor vehicles, ana his appUc.
uon, which has been pending oefuie the
U. S. patent otbee for the past toupie
of years has been allowed, according
to instruction received by Mr. ilaylor
from Thomas K. Robertson, commis
sioner of patents at Weihingion. U. C.
Mr. tiaylur is accordingly much euted
over his success thus tar, and he no
doubt has an Invention that will prove
of much value and be a money maaer
for the inventor.
This invention relates to steering
mechanism for front wheels of motor
vehicles and the primary object of the
invention is to provide means whereby
the pivot point of each frontw heel la
directly in alignment with the vertical
axis of the wheel, whereby a perfect
pivot action of the wheels will be had
when turning and eliminates the pre
sent method of having the steering
or pivot Joints Inside of the front
wheels, which permits undue wear of
the tires in turning and strain on the
steering gear.
The invention also provides an Im
proved hub for steering wheels, and an
especial improvement in the construc
tion of the stop axle for spindle so as
to provide a guard for the same and an
additional support for the wheel In
case the spindle Is broken.
Other improvements are also found
In the specifications, and Mr. Haylor
feels that he has perfected an Invention
that will prove to be a great step for
ward in the improvement of steering
apparatus for motor vehicles.' He ex-
necta it to be adopted by leading man.
