James Combination Litter Carrier 



(PATENTED) 



SPECIFICATIONS 



TUB: Constructed of 1 8-gauge galvanized sheet steel. Built on a framework of angle 

 iron; angle non at side edges being I x 1 x ' « in.; at the ends 1 x 1 x '/'g in.; end 

 of tub reinforced with steel plate iVi y. |. « in. Well riveted, all rivets galvanized 

 and are -f^r in. ; except corner rivets, which are ' 4 in. Gudgeon support is riveted 

 to the two thicknesses of steel on end of tub. Tub is self-cleaning. 



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

 For explanation of operation see page 231. 



HOISF: Direct type; hoist wheel is 1 1 in. in diameter; raises tub quickly; made of 

 best iron and steel. 



CHAIN GUIDES: Malleable. Prevent hand chain running off hoist wheel. 



SHAFT: 1 I 4-in. cold rolled solid steel shafting, same as used in factories for line 

 shafting. (See page 235.) 



LIFTING CHAIN: Straight link chain, tested for several times the load it will have 

 to carry. Three-point suspension ; in winding up forms an open spiral, preventing 

 rubbing and wear. (See page 235.) 



The distance from the top of the tracker wheels to the bottom of the Combination 

 Carrier Tub, when raised, is 44 inches ; when lowered the distance is 8 feet. 



TRACKER WHEELS: Made of gray iron. Large diameter. Mounted on swiveled 

 tracker wheel frames. Tracker wheel axle of steel with eleven long cold rolled steel 

 bearings. 



TRACKER WHEEL FRAME AND KEEPER: So constructed that wheels can 

 not jump the track whether on rod track, I-beam track or passing from one to the 

 other. (See page 233.) 



BAIL: Channel steel, reinforced by corner bail braces. 



LATCH AND TRIP: Latches at both ends, locking and unlocking simultaneously. 

 Tub dumps automatically when trip strikes the trip block; trip block, of malleable 

 iron locked to cable with a set screw 1 x '/<4 in., can be locked at any desired point 

 on the track. 



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: Tub is 40 inches long, 22 inches wide, 16 inches deep, and measures 

 approximately 5 bushels. 



WEIGHT: Approximately 145 pounds. 



No. 000000 rod track must be used with the combination carrier.
