The Americans never would have placed long- bodied cars on their lines unless they had found a different connexion between body and wheels from that which obtains with us. Their plan is to support the car at the ends, and allow the set of wheels at one end to move independently of the set at the other...an English invention brought under our attention yester- day, which seems to be several strides in advance of any plan yet made public. The model was exhibited at the premises of Messrs. Roberts, Morris, and Deakin, of Flinders-lane east, who are the agents for the patentee, and the process is described as Cleminson's Patent Radiating Axle. It has been submitted to the department of Victorian Railways, which has undertaken to give the invention a practical trial as soon as the necessary apparatus can be manufactured in the Williamstown workshops.….The Argus (Melbourne, Vic. : 1848 - 1957) Tue 8 Apr 1884 Page 1ROBERTS.-On the 5th inst., at Maesbury house Kensington, South Australia, Leonora Soames relict ofJohn Roberts and beloved mother of Mrs John Morris- (Northcote) William Henry Roberts Brighton (late of Messrs Roberts, Morris, and Deakin), J S.
