Tools and Appliances for Constructing Louden Standardized Mangers 



Fig. 970 represents the Louden Cut-Out Form to make the 



cut-outs in the Louden High Built-Up Manger Curb. The forms 



are set in between the boards used in constructing the curb where the 



stanchions are to be anchored. No cutting of the boards nor extra 



work of any kind is required to make the cut-outs and they will all be 



uniform in size and shape. The anchors which connect the stanchions 



to the curb are easily attached to the forms and the cement being slushed 



around them will make a better bond than if they were set afterwards. The cut 



shows one of our large sherardized U bolt anchors connected to the form. 



There should be 4 to 6 forms for each installment according to the size of the 



Fig. 970 barn and the speed required in doing the work. 



Fig. 1074 is a top view of our Curb Gauge, by means of which the 

 form-boards for the curb will be held the proper distance apart, and 

 equal distances from the stall posts. No measuring or cutting of boards 

 is required. There should be 8 to 12 gauges for each installment. 



Fig. 1013 is a perspective of one of 



the Louden Manger Templets. There 



are seven different sizes — one for each of 



the three sizes of concrete mangers and one for each of the 



bottoms of two sizes of galvanized mangers. No other device 



has ever been made that will begin to compare with these templets 



for ease and rapidity in the construction of cement mangers as well as for 



the excellence of the work.
