| CRESCENT CHAIN AND BOLT. | LEFEVER CHAIN. |
These several devices go to further lessen the troubles with chains which are so great now, in the argument of some people, but have been so slight in practice notwithstanding.
| CIRCULAR CHAIN. | REMINGTON CHAIN. |
In the very rare event of a chain’s breaking on the road, the [Missing Link] will be handy; it costs but a few cents, and can be carried in a vest pocket. The cut explains its use. A break is most liable to be in the block, but if a link goes the rider need not tear his hair; there are devices to meet that case, and to get another piece in is not very severe, even without their aid. Chains are “stretching, breaking,” etc., in their habits, we are told. Yet each rider may consider the chance of the trick’s being played on him nearly the same as of lightning’s striking him, and if he will only take a little care of his chain, he can count himself insured.
