724,438	Apr. 07, 1903	Steam and Governor Connection for Twin Engines	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: My invention relates particularly to a peculiar arrangement of connections between the boiler and the twin engines of a traction-engine, although, of course, not necessarily limited to such use. In traction-engine construction it is essential that the mechanism be as compactly arranged as possible, especially in the matter of width of the machine. It is therefore customary to place the engine on the top of the horizontal boiler, and if two engines are used they are mounted side by side upon the top of the boiler. Heretofore considerable difficulty has been experienced in so arranging the steam connections and the throttling -governor that each cylinder will obtain the same quantity of steam, and difficulty has also been experienced in so arranging the oil-cup as to equally distribute the oil to the two cylinders. The object of my present invention is therefore to so arrange and group the steam connections, the throttling-governor, the oil-cup, and the driving connections between the governor and crankshaft as to insure an equal distribution of steam and oil to each cylinder and without increasing the width of the machine.
737,209	Aug. 25, 1903	Detachable Fuel Box for Traction Engines	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide a o fuel-box and support which may be easily attached to or detached from a traction-engine. Claim: The combination, with a traction-engine, of supports carried at the rear thereof, and a fuel-box provided with a pair of forwardly extending arms which may be detachably supported to the rear of the engine by said supports.
738,162	Sep. 08, 1903	Belt Tightener for Traction Engines	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to produce means by which the traction-engine may be moved backward easily by hand-operated mechanism, thus enabling it to be adjusted while at work, such mechanism being also of a character to hold the entire engine in adjusted position. Claim: The combination, with a traction-engine and the driving-gearing thereof, of an adjusting-worm, suitable supports therefor, and means for swinging said adjusting-worm into or out of mesh with one of the driving-gears.
738,884	Sep. 15, 1903	Detachable Trunnion and Supplemental Wheel for Traction Engines	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide a to convenient means by which a plow-beam or the like may be attached to a traction-engine and also to provide means by which the width of the traction-wheels may be increased. Claim: A plow-beam trunnion for traction-engines consisting of a stud-shaft, and means by which it may be detachably connected to the drive-wheel.
741,042	Oct. 13, 1903	Quick Release Belt Tightener	John N. Kailor	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In the operation of a threshing-machine the separating-shoes are driven by a belt which is held in driving engagement with the pulley of the cylinder by means of an idler-pulley, the arrangement being such that by withdrawing said idler-pulley the shoes may be stopped independent of the cylinder. Claim: A belt-tightening idler and support therefor, consisting of a pivoted arm, an idler journaled thereon, an adjusting-screw pivoted to said arm, a nut carried thereby, and a notched bracket adapted to receive the screw and support the nut.
		Quick Release Belt Tightener	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN
764,658	Jul. 12, 1904	Spark Arresting Smoke Stack	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In the applications of smoke-stacks to traction-engines it has been customary heretofore to arrange an inverted conical screen in the upper end of the stack, means being provided by which the screen could be lifted a short distance out of the stack, so as to thus leave a freer opening for the smoke when there are no sparks therein. The arrangement of the screen within the stack has been necessary, because if the screen is arranged outside the height of the stack is so materially increased that difficulty is experienced in going under trees along the road and through covered bridges and the like. With the screen inverted and entirely within the stack the draft is cut down to a very considerable extent and difficulty is experienced in burning light fuel such as straw, wood, &c. And for this reason, operators are inclined to lift the screen out of the stack, and thus run the risk of fire. Claim: The combination, with a smoke-stack, of a spark-arresting screen having a closed end adapted to be inserted into the upper end of the stack, one end of said screen being provided with means whereby the screen maybe arranged upon the stack with its closed end either up or down.
795,269	Jul. 25, 1905	Belt Guide	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In the operation of threshing and other similar machines it is common to drive the machine by means of an endless belt of considerable length and an engine set some distance from the machine. Difficulty is experienced in getting the driving-pulley of the engine in exact alignment with the driven pulley of the machine, and it is necessary to provide some means for properly guiding the driving-belt in order to compensate for the lack of accurate alinement for the two pulleys. Claim: A belt-guide consisting of a suitable standard, an idler-carriage Journaled thereon, an idler journaled on said carriage, a pair of guide-rollers carried by said carriage to one side of the idler, the axis of the journaled connection between the carriage and standard passing to one side of the axis of the idler and intersecting the plane of the axes of the guide-rollers substantially in the plane of the belt, and means for holding the idler-carriage in various positions of angular adjustment on the standard.
797,557	Aug. 22, 1905	Power Steering Gear for Traction Engines	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to provide a structure which may be readily attached to a traction-engine and by means of which the operation of shifting and steering wheels may he accomplished by the constantly-rotating flywheel or belt-pulley of the engine. Claim: A power steering-gear for traction-engines consisting of, a friction-disk, means for supporting said disk adjacent the face of the engine-pulley with its axis substantially radial to said pulley, intermediate driving connections between said friction-disk and the steering-gear, and means for swinging said disk in a plane substantially radial to the engine-pulley whereby the face of the friction-pulley may be brought into contact with the engine-pulley on either side of the axis of swing of the disk to rotate said disk in either direction.
812,784	Feb. 13, 1906	Band Cutter	Henry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In a band cutter and feeder construction several knives are attached to a rotating shaft; but heretofore with but few exceptions the knives have been perforated and slipped endwise over the carrying shaft being spaced apart by suitable intermediate thimbles. In such construction difficulty is experienced in removing the knives for sharpening, as it is necessary to withdraw the entire shaft from its bearing. In such an arrangement there is also difficulty in returning the several parts to initial position, so as to insure balancing of the structure. Claim: The combination, with a shaft and spacing-sleeves carried thereby, of a boss carried by one of said sleeves and extending axially into a socket formed in the adjacent sleeve, the said boss having one transverse dimension of less magnitude than a parallel dimension at greater distance from the axis, a knife having an open notch formed in one edge thereof and fitting said boss, the said open socket being of less width at its open end than the width farther in, whereby the knife when applied to the boss may not be transversely withdrawn, and means for clamping the sleeves together upon the knife.
812,823	Feb. 20, 1906	Sawmill Feed Drive	Henry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In a sawmill construction it is necessary to provide means for driving the log-carriage past the saw first in one direction and then in the other. The object of my invention is to provide a simple mechanism for accomplishing this driving movement, said mechanism consisting of a minimum number of parts and the arrangement being such that the driving action will tend to maintain the parts in either the forward or reverse driving engagement as soon as driving engagement has been established. Claim: In a reversing mechanism, the combination, with a pair of main shafts, of a jack-shaft, a permanent driving connection between the first main shaft and the jack-shaft, and a belt-driving connection between the second main shaft and the jack-shaft, a frictional a reversing mechanism, the combination, with a pair of main shafts, of a jack-shaft, a permanent driving connection between the first main shaft and the jack-shaft, and a belt-driving connection between the second main shaft and the jack-shaft, a frictional driving connection between the jack-shaft and the said second main shaft, and means for shifting the jackshaft without destroying the driving connection between the same andi the first main shaft to bring either the belt-drive or the friction-drive into actionable driving connection between the jack-shaft and the said second main shaft, and means for shifting the jackshaft without destroying the driving connection between the same andi the first main shaft to bring either the belt-drive or the friction-drive into action.
813,037	Feb. 20, 1906	Throttling Governor	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to produce a throttling governor of very few parts, the structure being such, however, as to be economical of construction and such that the adjustment of the governor-valve in order to attain different governing speeds may be accomplished by an adjustment of the entire ball-head and also such that the sawyer's lever may operate to throw the valve closed by operating directly upon the ball-head instead of operating directly upon the valve-stem. Claim: In a throttling-governor, the combination, with the main body, and its valve-seats, a valve mounted therein in conjunction with said seats, a valve-stem carrying said valve, a rotatable ball-head engaging said stem, means for rotating said ball-head, whereby variation in speed of rotation thereof will cause movement of the valve, and means for adjusting said ball-head bodily whereby the normal position of the valve relative to its seats may be varied.

Claim: The combination, in a speed controlled governor, of a pair of rotatable members axially movable toward and from each other, a yielding connection between said members urging the same in one direction, a toggle connecting said members with one arm of the toggle extending beyond the knuckle, a governor ball mounted upon said arm of the toggle and movable along the same across the knuckle, and means for shifting said governor ball along said arm during its revolution.
911,703	Feb. 09, 1909	Gang Plow	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: The object of my invention is to produce a plowing structure, especially adapted for use with traction engines, of such character that a large number of plows may be simultaneously drawn, each plow doing its particular work correctly irrespective of the inequalities of the ground, and so that the traction engine will be subjected only to the my invention. Claim: ln a plow, the combination, with a draft-frame, of a plow unit comprising a plurality of plows, and a connection between said plow unit and the draft-frame, said connection comprising a pivot substantially horizontal and substantially at right angles to the line of draft, and also comprising a substantially vertical pivot, and means for adjusting said last mentioned pivot toward and from vertical.
969,746	Sep. 06, 1910	Boiler	Harry C. Clay	Columbus, Bartholomew County, IN	Abstract: In the manufacture of traction engines many portions, like the king-post, the engine, etc. must be attached to the boiler shell and it has heretofore been customary to provide the boiler shell with threaded openings into which threaded clamping bolts are passed, said clamping bolts passing through castings forming part of the members mentioned. with such a construction it is difficult, after a time, to maintain steam tight joints, and recently the Canadian Government has passed an act condemning such construction unless reinforcing plates be arranged inside of the boiler shell at the points of attachment. Such a reinforcement is objectionable for many reasons, and the object of my present invention is to produce a construction by means of which castings, such as the king-post, journal bearings, engine, etc. may be attached to the boiler shell by removable bolts in such manner that a perfectly steam tight boiler shell may be maintained and in such manner that the expansion and contraction of the shell will not injuriously affect the said connections.
