HOW IT IS USED. 
The frame is set level around 
the grave and the pall bearers 
place the casket on the straps 
With a little pressure of the 
foot upon a small treadle on 
the side of the frame, the 
casket will descend slowly and 
silently into tbe grave. Then 
the operator draws up on two 
small cords, so as to ^buckle 
or disconnect the straps under 
the cofiBn, when by turning the 
crank the straps are rewound 
on their respective drums. 
With each apparatus we 
furnish a complete set 
of Wrenches, one Crank 
Lever and a Water 
Proof Cover.
