Louden Cross Braced Double Post Cow Stall— Fig. 812 



Specifications of Standard Size 



Size of Tubing. The stall posts, stall partition, top- 

 rail and cross brace are all made of the best quality of 1?^ 

 O. D. steel tubing — smooth and exceedingly strong. No 

 second hand pipe or tubing is used in the construction of 

 our stalls. 



Width. The standard width of the stall is 3 feet 6 inches 

 (42 in.) but this may be varied to suit requirements and the 

 top-rail will be cut to suit. 



Height. The total height above the stall floor is 5 feet, 

 3 inches (63 in.). The standard height of the manger curb at 

 the sides is I 1 inches and at the bottom of the cut-out where 

 stanchion is anchored is 6 inches. Distance from stanchion 

 anchor to the underside of top-rail, 4 feet 7 inches (55 in.). 



Length of Posts. The stall posts are 5 feet 5 inches 

 (65 in.) long and with the standard High Built-Up Curb they 

 go 15 inches into the cement. The lower ends of posts and 

 partitions are indented to insure a better hold. 



Stall Partitions. The cut shows our No. 3 Single Bend 

 Partition which we recommend and which we furnish unless 

 otherwise specified. The lower end of the partition goes 

 5 inches in the cement. It stands 3 feet 6 inches (42 in.) 

 above the stall floor at the inner end and the same distance 

 out from center of curb at the bottom. Our No. 2 or No. 5 

 Partition, described on another page, will be substituted it 

 preferred. 



Stanchions. The cut shows our Tubular Steel Stan- 

 chions, Fig. 861 , which we recommend and furnish with stalls 

 unless otherwise specified. If preferred, we will furnish our 

 Wood-Lined Stanchions. Fig. 937. at the same price, or our 

 Five-in-One or Quick Adjustable Stanchion at an advance 

 in price. 



Finish. All the parts except the U bolts which are 

 sherardired. are finished with our Special Dairy Barn Paint, 

 or will be galvanized if ordered. 



Illustration. The cut shows two stalls and one end 

 section on the cross alley where the end curbs are located. 

 When there is an alley at each end of a row of stalls, an 

 extra end section is required for which an extra charge will 

 be made. 



812 Stall Complete includes: 2 Stall Posts; 1 Stall Parti- 

 tion: 42 inches of top-rail (more or less): I Cross Brace. 

 10 inches long (more or less): 5 Interlocking Dust-Proof 



Couplings; I Tubular or Wood-Lined Stanchion; 1 Stanchion 

 Holder; 1 Guide or "Hold-Open" for Stanchion, and I Stand- 

 ard Stanchion Anchor. 



End Section Complete includes: 2 Stall Posts; 1 Stall 

 Partition; I Cross Brace, 3 inches long (more or less); no 

 top-rail; 2 Interlocking Dust-Proof Couplings; I Right Angle 

 Corner Coupling, and I Single Piece Elbow. 



Weights. The Standard 812 Stall complete with Tubular 

 Stanchion and 42 inches of top-rail weighs 70 lbs. The 

 Standard End Section, complete, no top-rail, weighs 45 lbs. 



Note: Stalls wider or narrower than 42 inches and 

 requiring longer or shorter top-rails will weigh a pound or 

 two more or less. The Wood-Lined. Five-in-One or Quick 

 Adjustable Stanchion will also add a little to the weight. 



Note: When one end of a row of stalls is joined to a wall 

 the end section at the other end will be counted as a part of 

 the stalls, but if a wall flange or a partition next the wall is 

 used, or a post is set between the stanchion and the wall or 

 is extended up to the ceiling, an extra charge will be made 

 for these parts.

Gentlemen: 



Have now had 46 cow stanchions and stalls, calf 

 pens and litter carrier installed for nearly three years 

 and cannot speak too highly of the equipment. 



It is in just as good condition now as on the day it 

 was installed. In addition to its strength and dura- 

 bility, it gives the cows a comfort, freedom from lice, 

 light, airiness and ease that convince me 1 would not 

 go back to the old fashioned wood stanchions for any 

 price. 



Several new barns have been built in this vicinity 

 and they have also been equipped with Louden 

 Stanchions, which proves that they appeal to the 

 farmer who is alive to his own interests. 

 Yours truly, 



J. O. Lysne. 



The Couplings, a transparent view of which is shown by Fig. 933, are interlocking and practically 

 dust-proof, two bolts only being required to hold the parts together. The upper ends of the couplings on 

 the top-rail, where dust is most likely to settle, are perfectly smooth ; also the side ends on the stall 

 posts are smooth where the cows are hkely to rub. No 

 other couplings begin to compare with these. They are the 

 strongest and most durable, and are the easiest to clean 

 and keep clean. 



The Manger Construction. The cut shows one of our 

 Standardized Mangers with High Built-Up Curb (standard 

 height 1 1 inches) with a cut-out where the stanchion is anchored, 

 so it will only be the standard height at this point. By this 

 means the cow cannot nose her feed out on the stall floor and 

 at the same time there will be plenty of throat space for her to 

 lie with her head low down in the manger, or to turn her head 

 to the side in the stall. The cut also shows our latest design 

 of High Built-Up End Curbs for the manger and the stall floor, 

 to prevent the feed and the bedding from getting out into the 

 alley. These curbs and mangers with their corners so com- 

 pletely rounded, and all so smooth and perfectly molded, are 

 positively the "last word" in manger construction. Fig. 933. Patented Sept. 20. 1910; July 25, 1916.
