NAVAGATION

Boughton, C. V., Buffalo, has been established in his present business since 1886, at which time he patented
a car seal for sealing car doors in transit. He then organized the Buffalo Seal and Press Company, under the laws
of the State of New York, for the purpose of manufacturing, and since the beginning has produced mulions of these
articles yearly, finding his market over the entire world. His latest success is the Telephotos, an instrument
that gives free communication between vessels at sea from lighthouses as well as upon land. This instrument has
been adopted by the United States and English navies. It is very rapid, and messages to the extent of 480 words
have been transmitted to ships six and eight miles distance in thirty-one minutes. Mr. Boughton has this invention
patented all over the world and covered by some eighty patents.
