Sprocket Wheel and Chain 



The carrier box is supported by chains. These chains operate over the special 

 sprocket wheels, the surplus winding up on the storage drum. The carrier is 

 fitted regular with chains 7 feet long. On special orders the carriers can be fitted 

 with chains permitting the box to be raised and lowered any distance up to 

 20 feet. The chains are a special electric weld. Each link is true, they fit the 

 sprocket perfectly, and there is no chance for the chain to slip or for anything 

 to give way. 



Trucks and Wheels 



The wheels are 4 inches in diameter at the tread, and are reinforced and 

 strengthened by heavy webs. The castings supporting the wheel are extra 

 strong, and are attached to the main frame by heavy knee joint swivels. The 

 bearing surface of this heavy swiveled joint is 21 inches in diameter. It is the 

 strongest connection between the main frame and truck castings used on any 

 carrier. The large track wheels cause the loaded carrier to travel along the track 

 easily and smoothly. The trucks and wheels on the Double End Feed Carrier 

 are fitted for Louden Double Bead Steel Track. 



The Feed Box 



The feed box is made with regular box straps, and the bottom is tongued 

 and grooved like a wagon box. The corners are bound with iron and the upper 

 edges have regular wagon box straps. They are well constructed throughout, and 

 are warranted superior to anything of the kind on the market. The box is 

 76 inches long, 20 inches deep, 29 inches wide, and will hold 15 to 18 bushels 

 of feed or grain.

The Standard Feed Carrier is the same as 

 the Double End Carrier except the box is built 

 with shovel board in one end only, and m the 

 illustration the carrier is shown with a Stand- 

 ard Hoisting gear the same as with the Standard 

 Litter Carrier (Fig. 720, page 161). The carrier 

 can be furnished with any style of hoisting 

 gear, or for any style of Louden Track. The 

 carrier is built for long service. The box is made of clear, straight grain, select lumber with heavy, strong 

 reinforcements. The bails which support the box are made of Axl J i-inch steel straps. In addition to 

 offering ample strength for carrying heavy loads, these bails provide a stiff support to hold the sides of 

 the box always in shape. i i • 



The carrier illustrated is one of our best sellers and it cannot be recommended too strongly. It is 

 neat, serviceable, and no better single end carrier has ever been offered. 



Construction of Track 

 Wheels 



Each wheel used on our 

 Steel Track Feed 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^-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.
