 Manner of Attachment to Brick Wall 



Fig. I2IOI2-A illustrates our improved 

 method of attaching Open Back Racks to 

 brick or cement walls. This is done by means 

 of steel clamps which are adjustable up and 

 down between the angle iron uprights at either 

 end of the frame. 



In new construction bolts or 2 x 4s are 

 usually set in the wall to which these clamps 

 are attached. If bolts are used they must be 

 spaced the proper distance apart lengthwise. 

 Complete measurements with full information 

 will be furnished upon request. 



Where the walls are already constructed 

 the frame may be as securely attached with 

 expansion bolts. 



The vertical adjustment of the clamps 

 allows for any up-and-down variation in the 

 spacing of either the 2x4s or bolts. 



See page 199, for sizes in which the Open 

 Back Racks can be furnished. 



Operation of Racks and Feeding 



Loft and Front Aisle Feeding 



Filling the rack from front aisle is illustrated in Fig. 1221. Here the back 

 is the movable portion and operates the same as the front in other installations. 

 The locking open device and the releasing is the same as illustrated and 

 described on foregoing pages. When filled and released it occupies but a small 

 amount of the aisle space. The heavy spring pressure holds the hay to the 

 front feeding surface and keeps it within easy reach of the animal until entirely 

 consumed. 



In stables arranged 

 for feeding the hay 

 from the loft, our 

 racks may be used 

 with exceptional ad- 

 vantage and are very 

 conveniently filled as 

 shown in illustration. 

 Chutes are not neces- 

 sary as the opening of 

 the rack is sufficiently 

 wide to catch the hay. 

 Where the ceilings are 

 exceptionally high, we 

 suggest the use of 

 Special Hay Rack, 

 which has greater 



height.
