The priming ladder should be triangu- 

 lar ; that is, to the Kentish fruit ladder, 

 wide at the base and narrow at the 

 top, should be added a single prop. The 

 lower end of the prop should diverge 

 into two branches, to receive a wheel 

 like that of a wheel-barrow. When low- 

 ered, the ladder is placed and wheeled 

 on this prop. When reared, the prop 

 being attached to the ladder by a rope, 

 it is pulled towards you by raising 

 the ladder by one of its lower rounds. 

 If well made this ladder is perfectly 

 wieldable, and safe at the height of up- 

 wards of twenty feet. The ladder is 

 easily detached from the prop, and used 

 singly, if required.
