L.M. Clement Turntable Drive U.S. Patent #427,970, May 13, 1890

Were you familiar with Lewis Clement's turntable drive patent? I tripped across it, and thought I'd pass it along in case you hadn't seen it.

Is this for cable cars, railroad or both?

It appears to be for street railway service – with the 1890 date most likely cable cars. There is a passing mention to street installation – but it really does not say outright.
