Louden Spring Balance Manger Divisions — Fig. 1020 



Specifications 



The Dimensions. All of our Manger Divisions are 

 24 inches high where the hinges are placed. The other 

 dimensions are given in Plate 14. page 104. 



The Material. All the Divisions are made of No. 18 

 galvanized sheet steel. Each Division is reinforced entirely 

 around the edge with heavy iron, giving it great strength 

 and rigidity. 



The Brace Rod is made of 1 j^s O. D. steel tubing and is 

 attached by malleable iron clamps which are bolted to the 

 reinforcing irons so as to hold them rigidly in place. 



The Springs. The lighter spring is made of ^ inch 

 and the heavier spring of Yg high-grade spring wire — the 

 best that can be procured. Generally two springs are used 

 on a section of 4 divisions, 3 springs on a section of i di- 

 visions and so on. If the heavier springs are used a less 

 number may be required. 



The Finish. The sheet steel of which the divisions are 

 made is galvanized, and then the whole is coated with 

 our Special Dairy Barn Paint. If the fittings are to be 



galvanized there will be an extra charge for this extra work.

 inches (more or less) of 1 rs O. D. Tubular B race Rod : 1 Keeper

Louden Hold-Down Hook for Manger Divisions 



Fig, 1 186 is a side view of our Hold-Down Hook for Manger Divisions. 

 Usually this hook is not needed. The manger springs could be adjusted so 

 it would be impossible to root up the divisions but it would make them 

 heavy to lift for cleaning. By using our Hold-Down Hook the cows cannot 

 root up the divisions, and at the same time they will be easy to lift. The 

 hook catches automatically and is easily unlatched by pressing a finger on 

 its upper end. The hook catches against a plate secured to the concrete by 

 two anchor bolts. 



Keepers like that shown by Fig, 1072 are 

 secured to the inner side of the curb, as shown 

 in Figs, 1018 and 1020 to support the lower 

 corners of the divisions and prevent husky cows 

 from pushing them out of place. Fig. 1072
