By the use of our reverse curves and 

 switches the Wire Track Litter Carriers 

 may be run around either inside or out- 

 side curves. Figure 797 shows our re- 

 verse curve as it appears when used inside 

 of building, where it is attached to and 

 supported by the joists or ceiHng.

Figure 753 is a detail view of our Patent Spring End Stop, the most complete device of the kind ever 

 invented. It is composed of two malleable iron pieces bolted together so as to slide freely on the track, 

 and connected to a special spring as shown. The wheel yokes of the carrier straddle the pointed ends 

 of these pieces and cannot run off. The spring eases off the momentum of the carrier and starts it back 

 on its return trip. The spring and the pieces "A" can be easily removed from or replaced upon the track. 



Figure 755 is a detailed view of our Improved Anchor Loop which goes over the top of the post as in 

 Figures 745 and 1068 (page 188). It is made of 0000 wire, the same as the track, and will stand any strain 

 that can be put upon it. Figure 756 is our Patent Anchor Yoke with malleable casting for anchor bolt, 

 as shown in Figures 1068 and 745. It will stand a tremendous strain. Anchor Loop, Figure 755 and 

 Anchor Yoke, Figure 756 are included with the Complete Anchor, Figure 745, page 188. 



Figure 757 shows different ways of looping the track and guy wires. The upper is the common way 

 of twisting the wire around itself. The lower is our Improved Clamp Loop. The first is good enough 

 for a moderate strain, or where the wire is double, as in our anchor loops or anchor yokes; but when 

 there is only a single loop the Clamp is much stronger and better, as well as easier made and attached 

 and detached. All that is necessary is to remove the bolts which hold the clamps, and it can be hooked 

 into an eye, which cannot be done with a twisted loop.

Gentlemen: j l u I ( I 



I have used your Stanchions and Manure Carriers since last fall and am wrell pleased with them. In fact. 1 

 don't know how 1 got along without them before. The manure I notice is far better this spring. The horse manure 

 used to burn in the pile, and now 1 get it mixed with the cow manure and it improves them both. 



Respectfully yours. 



Matt Schmitt.
