Solid Steel Shaft 



The shafts used on all James Carriers are of cold rolled, solid steel, I J,4 inches in 

 diameter. The quality of material is the same as that used in factories for line shafting, 

 where its strength and success have been fully proved. 



The solid steel shaft will not bend — it may spring a trifle with an overload, but when 

 the weight is removed it immediately springs back into place. 



The solid steel shaft is rolled to exact size, and fits the bearings and sprocket perfectly, 

 leaving practically no chance for any play and wear. Tubing, on the other hand, though 

 often used for carrier shafts, is not suited to the purpose, because it varies in size, and can- 

 not be made to fit accurately ; and because tubing once bent, remains bent. 



Lifting Chain 



The lifting chain or cable is the weakest point in many carriers — the limited winding 

 space on the shaft making it necessary to use small chain or cable of insufficient strength. 



The lifting chain on James Carriers has the full length of the shaft on which to wind ; 

 heavy, straight link chain is used, this being strongest and best suited to the purpose. 



It IS attached to the center of the shaft and winds up in such a way that it forms an 

 open spiral — the chain does not climb upon itself, causing it to rub and wear. Chain is 

 tested for five times the load it will have to carry. 



The three point suspension distributes the load equally along the shaft; and gives a 

 double purchase, making it easier to raise the tub. 



High Lift Feature 



The long winding space on the shaft makes it easy to transform the carrier into a high 

 lift carrier, by merely putting on longer lifting chains. There is plenty of room on the 

 shaft for all the chain required for any ordinary height of ceiling. 



The James Carrier tubs raise closer to the track than others, thus ofttimes avoiding 

 the necessity of excavating when there is a rise of ground just outside the door; the carrier 

 more readily clears the spreader or wagon, and the manure can be piled higher when it is 

 necessary to let it accumulate in the yard. 



The "Big Boy" Carrier with tub, in raised position, measures but three feet from 

 bottom of track to bottom of tub. 



Removable Track Sections 



Used to permit closing of sliding doors; also used where two tracks cross, and for 

 other necessary openings. When removed, automatically sets stop blocks, making it im- 

 possible for a carrier to run off the open ends of the track. 



Standard length is fourteen inches, but for driveways, etc., can be supplied any length. 



I-Beam Track 



(PATENTED) 



The James Track has many important advantages not possessed by other tracks. 

 In the first place, it can be quickly and easily put up, even by inexperienced help — 

 in fact, is easier to erect than any rod track. And once in place, it is there to stay.
