GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



August, 1917 



The chief problem in converting an old i ai- into a strviieable trailer is to make it " track " the car ahead 

 that is pulling it. The heavy steel straps bolted to the " tongue " are extended back of the axle, and there 

 connected with one of the steering-arms by two more steel straps. The length of the two " arms " must be 

 the same, of course. 



Canvas extracting-room built over an old touring-car converted into a trailer. There are two floors 

 made of 1%-inch lumber, the lower one just the size of the frame of the chassis, and the upper one, twelve 

 inches higher, is six feet wide. The space between which may be used for carrying supers, supplies, etc., is 

 closed at both ends by a hinged door. 



The framework above the floor is in sections, which, being held together by Van Deusen hivi» clamps, can 

 be quickly taken apart and stored away when the trailer is wanted for other purposes.
