 carbon steel. It is 2 inches wide, i y\ inches high and, properly supported every 24 inches, it will safely 

 carry a load of 3000 pounds. Weight, per foot, 2 pounds. 



Splice Clamp for Double Bead Steel — Fig. 550 



Fig. 550 is the Splice Clamp for Louden Double Bead Steel Track. It is of malleable iron and is 

 held firmly in place on the under side of the track by four bolts. It is easily attached, holds the flanges 

 of the track level and makes it just as strong at the joint as at any other point. Care should be used to 

 see that the nuts on the four bolts are drawn tight. After the nuts have apparently been made tight, 

 the bolts should be set by striking them a heavy blow on the head with a hammer. After this is done 

 it will be found the nuts can be drawn still tighter and the clamps will hold securely. 



Enough clamps for the track are furnished with every shipment. 



Weight, each, I 'a pounds.

 Gentlemen : 



I would be pleased to get your new General Catalog. 



I have replaced a . . . . Hay Carrier and track with the Louden Junior on account of jumping track and bad 

 registering when rope was twisty. 



The Louden hugs the rail under all conditions. The swivel takes the kink out of the rope. It is hard to beat. 



Yours truly, 



Ph. Block.
