Feed Carriers 



There are a great many advantages in having a Feed Carrier. A carrier can be run under the 

 silo chute or spout from grain bins, and enough feed loaded into the carrier to feed 20 or more cows or 

 other stock. With a feed carrier operating on an overhead tracit you always have clear right of way, with 

 no obstructions to hinder or take time in removing. You can run the carrier along the feed alley in 

 your barn, or out over the feed bunks in the yard, distribute the feed and get through with that part of 

 the work in less than half the time it would take you otherwise. If you are weighing your feed, attach 

 your scales to the carrier frame and weigh out the feed as you go along, if you are feeding a balanced 

 ration, partitions can be placed in the carrier at small extra cost, so two or more kinds of feed can be 

 handled at the same time. 



You will often find it convenient to have your feed track connected by means of switches with the 

 track for the litter carrier. By doing this you can get your feed carrier to all parts of the stable, through 

 narrow alleys, and where it would not be possible to operate a truck running on the floor. The tracks 

 for Louden Feed Carrier and Litter Carrier are the same, and can be connected up to secure any sort of track 

 arrangement your building may call for. 



Louden Double End Feed Carrier 



The Louden Double End Feed Carrier is a large carrier, built extra strong for heavy work. Each 

 end of the carrier has a sloping shovel board, so two men can work at it handy. The carrier is furnished 

 regular with the Louden Emancipator Worm Gear Hoisting Device. The carrier can be furnished and 

 used, however, with any type of Louden Hoisting Gear and Trolley. The Emancipator Worm Gear 

 Hoisting [)evice is the same as that used with the Louden Emancipator Litter Carrier, and is the most 

 powerful lifting device used with any carrier. One man can easily raise and lower 600 or 800 pounds. 

 The track wheels being large and roller bearing, the loaded carrier can be pushed along the track with 

 scarcely an effort. There are no brakes or ratchets to bother with, and absolutely no danger of the 

 carrier dropping down and smashing. 



The Hoisting Device 



The Worm Gear Hoisting Device, used with all Louden Carriers, is a marvel of efficiency and 

 simplicity. The worm castings are riveted solid to the main shaft. These engage the pins or lugs on 

 the special sprocket or pin-wheel, causing it to revolve. This gives a lifting power at the ratio of 40 

 to ]. One pound pull on the hand chain will lift 40 pounds in the carrier box. (See Fig.881, page 158.)
