The Emancipator Box. 



special tempered steel axles | inch in diameter. The axles are bolted into the supporting casting full size and 

 no weak shoulders. The wheels are strong enough to carry tons more than will ever be required in a litter 

 carrier. The flanges of Louden Track Wheels are made so that each flange has two bearings against the edge 

 of the track, instead of one which ordinary wheel flanges have. This prevents the wheels from wabbling on 

 the track. This is a valuable, patented and exclusive feature. The Louden Double Bead Steel Track 

 (Page 175) used with the Emancipator Litter Carrier is made to stand great strains, and is strong enough 

 to carry any load you can pile on the carrier box. 



Carrier Box 



The Emancipator Carrier Box is built of heavy galvanized steel, 

 reinforced with angle iron. You can't overload it. Fill it full of sand 

 or water, rush it over the track — you can't do it a bit of damage. 

 The box is water tight and will hold every drop of liquid manure; no 

 spilling of liquids along the walk. The most valuable part of the manure 

 is saved. The box is built regularly 48 inches long, 27,' 3 inches wide 

 and 22 inches deep. 



Dumping Device 



Here again is the Louden Carrier in the lead. This exclusive arrange" 

 ment was adopted after thoroughly testing and discarding other plans. 



The box is hung to- the exact fraction of an inch to make the balance Fig. 723. 

 most perfect. The trip lock in the end of the box is adjusted so that it 

 is impossible to dump the box unless it is so desired, yet makes it an easy matter to dump the box with 

 a shovel or fork. This trip lock is also arranged so that the box may be dumped with a rope, where the 

 track arrangement used will allow the carrier to run by gravity to manure pit or spreader. The rope 

 can be used to return the carrier to the barn for reloading. The box, on account of its correct balance, 

 can be righted with pitchfork or shovel. No touching with hands is necessary. 



The Best For You 



If quality, workmanship, durability, and perfection of mechanism count with 

 you, install the Emancipator Litter Carrier. There is none like it; none to com- 

 pare with it; none that will give you that lasting satisfaction of having made a 

 wise investment. It is tested and true. It is used the world over, and it is backed 

 by the oldest, largest, and best known litter-carrier manufacturer in the world. 



Track 



The Louden Double Bead Track, Fig. 571 (Page 175), is used with the 

 Emancipator Carrier. 



Louden track is stronger, more reliable in use, easier to put up, and is in every 

 other way SUPERIOR to other styles of track used for this purpose. It will 

 not buckle to one side or let the carrier run off as side-hitch tracks will do. We 

 warrant all our goods to be SUPERIOR to anything of the kind on the market, 

 and we do not ask purchasers to keep any article which will not fill the 

 warranty. 



A recent test in the Louden factory proved conclusively that, under exactly 

 the same conditions. Louden tracks will carry almost double as much weight as 

 other tracks. Every article bearing the name Louden is far stronger than 

 necessary for practical use and is built that way to handle safely the unusual 

 strain that might be placed upon it. 



Roller Bearing Track 

 Wheels 



Each wheel used on our 

 steel track litter carriers 

 is fitted with 1 7 tempered 

 steel roller bearings. Size 

 of bearings for steel track 

 carriers -i^xl inch. These 

 revolve around a J y -inch 

 cold rolled steel axle or 

 shaft. The ends of the 

 steel roller bearings work 

 against our special pat- 

 ented revolvable washer. 

 This reduces friction to a 

 minimum. Also eliminates 

 excessive wear, prevents 

 binding or grinding to- 

 gether of the rollers. The 

 Louden Trolleys with 

 roller bearings travel 

 easily and outlast any 

 other trolleys of this kind 

 that are made. 



In speaking of Louden equipment, Walter J. Domes, Crescent Hill Ayrshire Farm, 

 McCoy. Oregon, writes: 



"I have been using Louden Stalls and Stanchions and Feed and Litter Carriers for several 

 years and am more than pleased with them. Will install two more carriers this summer. 



"Were it not for my Louden equipment I would not be able to keep my herd of 100 

 registered Ayrshires in the shape they are, nor would I receive the high score I do by 

 the Dairy Inspectors. 



"My two cow barns cost me over $8,000.00 and have several hundred feet of Louden 

 track."
