Hand-truck
A small vehicle to be propelled by one man. It may be a platform with three or four wheels, with swivel lock on the front for turning easily; or the common warehouse truck, consisting of two long handles held together with cross-ties, terminating with axle and wheels and a purchase-plate. Handwriting Impressions on Cast Iron.--This is accomplished by the use of a carbon ink, which leaves a substantial and hard body-one that will not be destroyed with molten cast iron.
A Boston gentleman discovered the method, which consists of writing backwards upon ordinary paper with prepared ink, and from right to left, instead of the usual way. The paper is fastened to the mould surface and the metal poured over. The paper burns away of course, but the carbon ink resists the action of the molten iron and leaves an indented impression of the writing upon it. See EMBROIDERY IMPRESSIONS IN CAST IRON.
