CARLTON \V. ROBERTS, OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS.
IMPRGVEMENT EN CLOCK-CASE$.
Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 134,1438, dated December 24, 1872.

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a front view of the clock-case, and Fig. 2 a top or plan view thereof.
Like letters of reference made use of in the several figures indicate like parts.
