The James Combination Carrier 



(For I-Beam and Rod Track) 



This carrier has back of it all the quahty, reputation and experience that have made 

 James Carriers and James Equipment famous and successfuL 



For the smaller barns, it is one of the most valuable and most sensible labor savers ever 

 put on the market, and is proving a big winner. It is not, however, adapted to the larger 

 barns, say fifteen head of stock or more, because the capacity of the tub is limited by 

 the strength of the anchorage of the rod track. 



The James Combination Carrier has all the advantages of the I-Beam track inside 

 the barn — the celebrated James track that can be bent to any curve without the use of 

 heat, doing away with the expense for special curves; the "button-on" hangers that 

 make the outfit easy to erect, a tub that can be quickly dropped to the floor for loading, 

 and that "stays put" on the track while being filled — track can't sag, hence the carrier 

 moves only when you push it ; and other features that make barn cleaning easy. 



This carrier also has all the advantages of the rod track outside the barn. You can 

 stand at the barn door, give the carrier a shove — it runs out, dumps at the desired point and 

 returns automatically to the barn. Saves walking through the wet yard and snow. 



The tub dumps to either side, giving you more dumping space and making it more con- 

 venient to dump into wagon or spreader. Latches at the ends of the tub lock and unlock 

 simultaneously; work surely and easily; and are protected so they will not clog with manure. 



The trip block which dumps the tub can be locked to the track at any desired point. 

 When the trip strikes this block, the tub dumps to whichever side is loaded the heavier. An 

 ingenious device makes the trip positive, so that dumping is certain. 



Carrier returns automatically to the barn when empty. 



The long life tub is the same in materials and construction as the "Big Boy" carrier 

 tubs, described on page 187, the only difference being in size. 



Heavy straight link lifting chain is used, this being strongest and best adapted to the 

 purpose. It is attached to the center of the cold rolled, solid steel shaft, so that in winding 

 up it forms a very open spiral, preventing rubbing and wear. No cable to wear out and 

 break. 



The carrier is very easy running because of the narrow tread on both the I-Beam 

 track and the rod track, and because each tracker wheel contains eleven long, cold rolled 

 steel bearings, making it almost frictionless. 



Whether the carrier is on the rod track or on the I-Beam track, or passing from 

 one to the other, it can't jump off. The ingenious keeper makes that impossible. There 

 is but one way to get it off the track and that is by deliberately hfting it off. 



The direct hoist is used; so geared as to raise the load in the shortest time possible 

 without undue effort. 



The Absolute Control Clutch and Brake described on page 201 is a most important 

 part of the Combination Carrier. Turn back to that page and learn its advantages.
