Iron block and ball latch.
The gates and railing are of very superior construction; they are the work of Mr. Turner, of Hinde Street, Manchester Square. They have been pronounced by the Government officials as requiring little attention, and that the gates open and shut better than any other gates in the park. Page 144 gives an elevation of one of the iron standards. Each is two feet in width; there are ten of them; four, those belonging to the carriage entrances, being surmounted by lamps. The small size of this volume will not allow a full illustration of the ornamentation to be given, but it admits that important part, the construction, to be clearly shown. Page 145 gives a section of one of the standards, d is a layer of concrete, 1 foot 6 inches in height and four feet in width, which goes all through; a is the York landing, 6 inches thick and 5 feet square; b is the brickwork, this goes all through; c c represent the blocks of Portland stone; and e is the granite curb 8 inches by 10 inches in section, within the entrances.

Page 146 gives the plans of the standards at different heights, showing the several plates given in the section; and on page 149 is a section of the wrought-iron coupling-bar with its brass bush.
The gates move on a hardened steel socket of circular form, working within a steel box, as shown in the section.
