The James Feed Car 



(PATENTED) 



SPECIFICATIONS 



TUB: Constructed of selected lumber; bottom and ends 20-gauge galvanized steel, the 

 design makmg it easy to shovel. Corners bound with corner iron. 



SIZE: Extreme length 68 inches, width 26 inches, height 24 inches. 



PERFECT CONTROL CLUTCH AND BRAKE: Of malleable and bar steel. 

 For e.xplanation of operation see page 231. 



HOIST: Chain and sprocket type. Made of the best iron and steel. The frame 

 carrying the lower sprocket is adjustable to take up the slack, thus making it pos- 

 sible to overcome any wear. So geared as to make possible the raising of heavy 

 loads in the shortest time without undue effort. (See page 231.) 



CHAIN GUIDES: Malleable. Prevent hand chains running off the hoist wheel. 



SHAFT: Of \Yj,-m. cold rolled solid steel shafting, same as used in factories for 

 line shafting. (Page 235.) 



LIFTING CHAIN: Heavy straight link chain, tested for five times the load it will 

 have to carry. Three-point suspension; in winding up forms an open spiral pre- 

 venting rubbing and wear. (Page 235.) 



TRACKER WHEELS: Made of gray iron; 4% in. in diameter mounted in swiveled 

 tracker wheel frames. Travelers arranged tandem. Tracker wheel axle of steel 

 with oil pocket; journal machined and surfaced. (See page 233.) 



TRACKER WHEEL FRAME: So constructed that wheels cannot jump the track. 

 May be removed only by hand. (Page 233.) 



BAIL: Heavy channel steel. Extends nearly to bottom of tub. So shaped as to permit 

 the greatest freedom when shoveling. 



BEARINGS: All bearings that get wear in operation are machined, to assure accurate 

 fit and smooth surface; this reduces friction, lessens wear, increases ease of operation 

 and adds greatly to life of carrier. Bearings that are left merely cored, as they 

 come from the foundry, are covered with sand roughness, which cuts into metal 

 like so much emery. Hence the great importance of machined bearings. (See 

 page 228.) 



CAPACITY: Approximately 1 6 bushels. 



WEIGHT: 250 pounds.
