MR BRUNTON'S ADZING MACHINE.
(to thb bditob of thb timbs) Sib,— Knowing something of laying rails, I was interested in seeing the machine invented by the Railway Engineer. There is no mistake about it — sleepers prepared by it, instead of by hand, will be a great earing, not only in the cost of laying, but in the coat of maintaining. Besides, they can be done at much less cost. One of the men now at work on the Mataura line laying rails, told me that they found a great difference in laying the few they had put in the road already. Accuracy of bed and also of width improved at once even the appearance of the road when laid, and there was hardly any necessity for ever using a guage, which before was in constant requisition. — Yours, Ac , Ax Old Plate-iaym*. Invercargill, 14th August.
