Supports for James Track Outside the Barn 



(PATENTED) 



STEEL ARCH SUPPORT: As shown on page 206. Constructed of l%-^a. 

 O. D. pipe, galvanized, with malleable fittings and Yi-m. U-bolts on top and iV.-in. bolts 

 in coupling clamps. The uprights in each pair of posts are five feet apart, on centers set in 

 concrete. Very satisfactory track support. Furnished any height. 



Supports Alongside the Barn 



Sometimes it happens that it is necessary to carry the I-Beam track along the outside of 

 the barn. 



If a Combination Carrier is being used, it may not be possible to run the rod track 

 out into the yard directly from the door ; in such case the track can be supported from 

 the side of the barn, carrying the I-Beam track to a point from which the rod track can 

 be run out as desired. 



Or m some barns where the rows of cows run crosswise, it may be desirable to bring 

 the track out of one door and m to another in order to reach certain parts of the stable — 

 especially if it happens that alleys are too narrow to permit the passage of the carrier. 



Track supported from the side of the barn may also be used in cases where a swing- 

 ing crane cannot be extended from the door itself, some other building, for instance, being 

 in the way. It is easy to carry the I-Beam track to a point from which a crane may be 

 swung. 



This track support is furnished in two styles. 



STEEL SUPPORT: Made in two sizes. One, constructed of 2^'8-in. O. D. 

 galvanized pipe, the brackets which hold the supporting rods being fastened to the barn 

 with %-in. lag screws. The supporting rods are '/2-in- diameter. Struts are 2%-in. 

 O. D. galvanized pipe, fastened to the barn with malleable flanges and Yz-m. lag screws. 

 The other, made of 1 /^-in. O. D. pipe, painted, with j^'i"- ^^% screws. 



No threaded fittings are used, the pipe frame being put together with clamps of best 

 malleable. The entire structure can be erected with no tools excepting a hammer and 

 a wrench. Blue prints showing details and prices furnished on application. 



WOOD SUPPORT: A similar structure can be built of wood, in which case 

 we furnish only the supporting rods of Yl m. diameter, with brackets and lag screws for 

 attaching to barn and the wood frame.
