As shown on page 256. Constructed ol 2',s-in. O. D. pipe, galvanized, with malle- 

 able fittings and ' Vm. U-bolts on top and 'n.-in. bolts in coupling clamps. The 

 uprights in each pair of posts are five feet apart, on centers set in concrete. Very satis- 

 factory track support. Furnished any height. 



Supports Alongside the Barn 



Sometimes it is necessary to carry the I-Beam track along the outside of the barn. 



1 1 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 

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

 be run out as desired. 



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

 the track out of one door and in 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 lY^-m. 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 258-in. 

 O. D. galvanized pipe, fastened to the barn with malleable flanges and '/^-in. lag screws. 

 The other, made of I %-in. O. D. pipe, painted, with -^^.-m- lag 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 '/2 in. diameter, with brackets and lag 

 screws for attaching to barn and the wood 

 frame.
