capacity is 7-i cubic feet, and in this respect it is best in its class. Area over 

 ladders for harvest purposes 92 square feet. 



The fore carriage turns by a pin and two iron plates, and is checked by a 

 chain fastened to the frame at one end, the other end running on a rod, which 

 is fastened to the slide frame. The axles for each wheel are separate, being 

 2f inches square, and fastened to a 9 2 -inch solid wood axle -bed by a |-inch 

 bolt at the ends, and at the shoulders by a strong clip and two f-inch bolts. 



The diameter of the fore wheels is 3 ft. 4 in., with 4° inclination, and 

 10 spokes; that of the hind wheels is 5 ft., with 4*^ inclination, and 12 spokes. 



The spokes are 1| in. x 3j in., and mortised with a round tongue and 

 shouldered. 



The tyre is 4 in, broad x f in. thick, and thus broader than any other 

 waggon in the class, which accounts for its low drai:ght, as compared with 

 the others ; for when being drawn along the oat-field the wheel sank less. 

 The mean draught per ton of gross load was 50 '5 lbs. on the hard road, and 

 189 • 1 lbs. on the field ; and thus on the road it showed the highest draught, 

 and in the field the lowest draught in the class. 



The weight of the waggon is 19 cwt. 1 qr. 15 lbs., and the load is well 

 placed.
