钢马领。
在此期刊上有关“火灾和电器”的文章之后，列出了钢马领和巴顿快照的随附描述：
大约二十年前首次引入钢马领时，它遇到了很多偏见。与衣领相比，这是一个根本的变化，甚至不愿意进行试验。这种不利的感觉是坚硬而坚定的，因为被认为新领子会伤害马的肩膀。这些批评家未能意识到，与不均匀和填充的表面相比，坚硬，光滑的表面更容易射击。当农民和机械师使用用手柄硬和光滑的工具时，这是一个事实。直到对使用这些人的人的持续审判，对使用它们的人的需求不断且不断增长的需求，这种偏见是否消失了，因此，其介绍性进度很慢。1893年，美国战争部采用了钢衣环，用于炮兵服务。纽约和几个大城市已经采用了它的消防部门，很快就受到了该国其他许多主要城镇。由于已经建立了他们的实用性，他们现在从未听到他们会伤害马的旧呼声。汤姆森项圈从质量优质的薄层钢上压制； possesses great strength, and is lighter than those generally used. The trace being attached to the front section of the collar side, is supported by a plate-spring operating between the front and rear sections of the collar-side, which relieves the horse’s shoulder from sudden shock. It has a liberal range of adjustment in length and width, and the facility with which one collar can be made to fit any number of horses of about the same weight is one of its important advantages. The collar and its fittings are put together with bolts, and can be quickly taken apart for the purpose of changing the size or making repairs. The parts of the collar that rest on the neck and shoulders are galvanised, which prevents galling in warm or wet weather and will heal sores made by the padded collar. It is almost indestructible, and can be renewed at small cost to look as well as new. Like all inventions embodying a radical change from those in general use, the steel collar has worn down prejudice, and its success has been recognised by the iarge number now in use in fire departments.
