 N A R R O W GAUGE RAILWAYS
Narrow Gauge Railways can be divided into four general classes:
I. Industrial Railways II. Portable Railways
IV. N a r r o w G a u g e Public Railroads for Freight a n d Passenger Traffic
I. Industrial Railroads
This term is given to the inter-plant narrow gauge road, which
is formed into a system to facilitate the constant handling of rough,
half-finished andfinishedmaterials, coal and all other commodities.
Such industrial railroads are generally m a d e permanent, that is
when they are laid they are formed into a system that reaches
everywhere desired and are not being constantly changed from
II. Portable Railways
place to place.
Every plant requires a different system, on account of the
arrangement of the buildings and of the machines and the kind of
materials to be transported. For this reason track sections must be
cut to various lengths, curves must be m a d e of different lengths,
radius, etc. W e engineer this work, draw the plans tofityour plant,
and build each piece accordingly in our o w n plant.
Before any of the material is sent out, the entire system is laid
out in our assembly room, marked according to the blue prints,
which are afterwards furnished to you, and every piece is m a d e to
fit accurately. W e can only do this when steel ties are used, and for
this reason steel ties are preferable. However, there are m a n y other
reasons for this preference, such as durability, economy of instal-
lation, etc., etc. Industrial railroads of this character m a y be
embedded infloorsof concrete, brick, earth or wood. T h e traction
power used is optional, and m a y be hand, animal, steam locomotive
or electric power.
In some places, particularly in boiler rooms, it is desirable to
have a floor that can be kept clean, and on which fires m a y be
Page 6

drawn out without injury. For this purpose w e supply cast plate
track and floor plates which are cast with a diamond checkered top,
thus affording an excellent foot-hold for the workmen. This will be
appreciated in m a n y factories. In addition, cast plate track and
floor plates are always level, m a y be cleaned with ease, and m a k e
an attractive, durable and sanitary floor.
It is the purpose and intent of the portable raihvay to effect a
means of transportation that is both economical and rapid, where
the basis of operations is constantly changing from place to place.
T h e rails, tics and joints are fastened together, and are de-
livered in this form to the customer. T h e sections are then merely
laid on the ground, coupled together, and the railroad is ready for
traffic. T w o m e n m a y carry a section anywhere, lift and relay an
entire system in a short time. This is m a d e possible by the angle
joint which allows the ends of the rails to slip in.
Curves, crossings, switches, turntables, turnouts and all
auxiliaries are m a d e to accompany portable track in portable form.
T h e traction power used m a y be either hand, animal or light loco-
motive power.
III. N a r r o w G a u g e Sidings
In some instances plants, quarries, logging camps, etc., are
situated at a distance from railroad facilities on account of cheap-
ness of land, lower taxes, or other reasons, and the quantities to be
transported are too small to warrant the building of a standard
 KOPPEL
gauge siding. In these cases, we recommend our narrow gauge
siding, which can be installed and Operated at a much lower cost
and serves the same purpose as a standard gatige. W h e n materials
to be transported are of such a nature permitting automatic unload-
ing, d u m p ears can be used to advantage, which m a y run on an
incline situated next the standard gauge railway and unload auto-
matically into the standard gauge car. The power is optional, and
m a y be electric, steam or animal power, and the track is permanent.
IV. Narrow Gauge Public Railroads for Freight
a n d Passengers
In places where the distance is long and the number oi passen-
gers or the amount ol freight to be carried is small, the question <>l
narrow gauge road enters into the situation, as it occupies less space,
costs less to equip and to build the bed, permits of sharp curves,
requires less expensive rails and ties, serving the purpose in every
respect.
\\V have built m a n y such railroads in all parts of the world.
( )ne of these is the longest 24-inch gauge road in the world, located
in Southwest Africa. It has proved very satisfactory and has boon
in successful operation since completion. The track i^ permanent.
TRACK
As will be seen Irom the foregoing, it is most desirable that our
customers specify the manner in which track is to be used, that i>
to say, whether it will continue in the location in which it is laid
for an indefinite period (permanent track) or continually be trans-
ferred from place to place (portable track).
W e furnish track lor both permanent and portable use.
Permanent Track
Rails m a y be laid on steel or wooden ties, the latter being used
when it is economy to do so, on account ol the nearness of supply.
Pane 7
W h e n wooden ties are used, the rails are fastened thereto by
means ol spikes or tirefonds. W h e n steel ties are used, the rails are
fastened by our special clips and bolts. Fishplates and bolts m a y
be used in both instances to connect the rails.
Portable Track
The rails are mounted on steel ties for several reasons, the
principal ol which are that they are considerably lighter and that
it affords a simpler and more durable method of fastening, allowing
the sections to be handled continually without injury; whereas rails
spiked on wooden ties become loosened when continually handled,
the rails spread, thus derailing the cars and causing loss ol lime and
danger to the workmen.
Tin- di Herein rail sections are m a d e continuous by means of our
special angle joint which is firmly bolted on one end of the rails
and the c])(\ tic*. T h e ends ol the rails ol the next section can be
readily placed in or out ol these angle joints, thereby eliminating
all bolting in the laying or lilting ol rails. The sections are made up
in 15-foot lengths. Corresponding sections, consisting of curves,
switches, crossings, etc., are also made, and lies are so formed that
they rest on ungraded ground and do not slip or buckle.
Gauge of Track
A n item which .u\<\^ materially to an economical and a practical
transportation system is the selection ol the proper gauge. By the
gaugeismeant the distance between the inner edges of the rail-heads.
A smaller gauge will permit ol shorter curves, requires less spate,
and costs less to maintain than larger gauges.
For most purposes a 24-inch gauge is most desirable, and has
proved practical for long public roads as well as the short
industrial and portable roads. However, in some case's a smaller
gauge, such as IS or 20-inch, or a larger gauge, such as 30, 36 or
42-inch is required. W e are prepared to furnish all gauges, but
recommend IS, 20, 24, 30, 36 and 42-inch as our standard makes.

 SPRING SPLIT SWITCHES
Figure 7719 shows a switch operated by a ground throw with spring attachment. T h e
device sets the switch points either w a y and yet allows a car to pass in a direction opposite
to the points without changing the position of the ground throw and without danger of
derailing the car.
This advantage is secured through the operation of the spring attachment which holds
the point rails tight against cither side to which the points are thrown. Cars going in the
opposite direction to that in which the points arc set simply press the points a w a y from the
main rail and pass on, allowing the points to return to the position in which they were set.

with the exception that this switch cannot be set to either side, but leaves the track open for
one w a y only, as there is no ground throw.
This Spring Split Switch is used chiefly in such places as passing sidings, or turnouts,
where it is intended to automatically switch cars in one direction only, permitting them to
trail out w h e n passing in the opposite direction.

H o w to Ascertain the Frog Number

T h e number of a frog is the ratio of its length to its width, length by the s u m of the mouth-width T and the heel-width H ,
i. c, the quotient of its length, divided by its width. the quotient will be the exact number o I" the frog.
T h u s in the abovefigureif the length A — B from point to heel
For example, if in the above figure the total length L of the
of frog is 5 feet or 60 inches, and the width H of the heel is 15
inches, the number of the frog is the quotient of 60 • 15 =4. frog is 7 feet 4 inches or 88 inches, and the width H is 15 inches,
A method of determining the frog number is to measure the and the width T of the mouth is 7 inchc•s, then the frog number is
entire length L of the frog, from mouth to heel, and divide this 88 inches: (15 + 7) = 4 . Frogs are known by their numbers.

Patent applied for "IDEAL" C L U T C H B O L T T R A C K Fig. 1496

W e supply this Track in sections as shown by Fig. 1375, either completely mounted on
Steel Ties and fitted with Rail Connection, or shipped knocked down, arranged for ocean
transportation.
This Track can be supplied in any length desired, but not longer than 30 feet.
TIES
W e supply Steel Tics, as shown in above Fig. 15027, of 4 1 x-inch width for rails of 12
to 14 lbs. per yard, 5-inch width for rails of 14 to 20 lbs. per yard.
These "Ideal" Ties have no holes whatsoever and consequently do not lose anything in
weight or strength. This is one of the greatest features, and there is no other type of portable
track which offers the salne advantage.
FASTENING OF RAILS TO THE TIES
This is performed by our special Bracket and Clutchbolt as shown by Figs. 1375 and 15027.
The Bracket is riveted to the Tie on the inside of the rail, so that the rails are kept free from
tilting outwardly under the wheel pressure.
THESE BRACKETS
are made of pressed Steel, reinforced with ribs, so that they cannot spring or bend.
THE CLUTCHBOLT
has a threaded nut tilted up, so that a socket wrench can be used to tighten it up when the Tie
is lying on the ground.
W h e n the Clutchbolt is drawn up tight by nut, it bears against the lower part of the Track,
so that it is held rigidly and the Track can be lifted by the rails without their moving.
CONNECTIONS OF SECTIONS
This is performed by our "Ideal" Rail Shoe, as shown below by Fig. 1376. It can also
be arranged by plain Joints, as shown above by Fig. 140d.
RAIL S H O E
S a m e is made of Pressed Steel and goes all around the base and web of the rail, thus effect -
ing a great strengthening of the joint and affording quicker mounting and dismounting. T h e
rail shoe has a shelf on the ground end withflarededges, so that the next section of Track can
be dropped down on this shelf and easily pushed into position without troublesome shifting
to justfitthe shoe; see illustration Fig. 1248. It is provided with an open hole in the base, so
that any dirt collecting in same, drops out instead of being pushed back into the Shoe, which
would keep the rails from coming together. T h e Shoe is provided with two bolt holes which
are reeommcndablc to use when the Track remains permanent. O n e bolt hole only m a y be
used when the Track will have to be shifted a great deal.

AUTOMOBILE TURNTABLE

Fig. 14831

The above Fig. 14831 shows our standard automobile turntable. It is
made 14 feet diameter and consists of structural steel frame work supported
on an independent spider, both being connected to a center pivot with cast
steel supports. An angle ring is provided which is embedded in concrete
in the bottom of the pit on which the wheels of the spider run. A n oak top
is usually provided as shown in the cut, but steel top of checkered plate
can be furnished if desired. The cover in the center is removable and we
recommend providing a pit underneath, which a workman can enter and
thereby have easy access to the undcrpart of the automobile. These turn-
tables are very easily installed, never wear out and should be used in even-
garage, as they economize room and soon pay for themselves by the assist-
ance they give in making repairs, cleaning and oiling.

Spring bearings add greatly to the life and ease of handling of Industrial cars. T h e usual type, with single spring above the bearing, increases the height excessi\ely and also
causes excessive strains on the pedestals and boxes. Our special design of double flexible spring bearing, as shown in the accompanying cut avoids these difficulties.

STANDARD ALL AROUND AND END DUMP CARS
With Square Bodies

Cars as shown herewith in Figs. 14927 and 14928 are built in capacities ranging from 12 to
27 cubic feet. They are especially designed for use in mines, tunnels and for other services where
small over-all dimensions are an important factor on account of the usual small entries and sharp
curves.
In order to secure a m a x i m u m capacity, the bodies are built rectangular. They are fastened
on the frame and running gear by a strong hinge. The cars are provided with doors, which arc-
latched and unlatched from the rear of the car. This latter feature is of great advantage, as it
makes it unnecessary for the operator to approach the dump, an operation which is often both
difficult and dangerous.
W e supply these cars with square axles and cast-steel wheels with rollers in hub as described
on page 56

These illustrations show the KOPPEL DIRECT

C H A R G I N G S Y S T E M for building Concrete Roads, as
used in the construction of General Coleman du Pout's
Memorial to the State of Delaware.

In order to provide an economical system for build-

ing concrete roads, the K O P P E L C O M P A N Y has
developed equipment which makes the transporation
of the concrete aggregates from the source—which may
be quarry or standard gauge switch—into the mixer
almost automatic, also eliminates the rehandling and
loss of material, which were caused by the old system,
where the stone and sand were piled along the road.
Various kinds of mixers can be used in conjunction
with this K O P P E L S Y S T E M , and in some cases the
separate crane is omitted, while a boom is attached
n directly to the mixer. (See line drawing on page 67).
As can be seen from the plan shown above, a narrow gauge railway is laid from the storage- type) which rest on trucks. These trucks are hauled to the mixer, a crane or derrick located
bins to the mixer. Back of the mixer, a distance equal to a day's work, a switch is located, and between the tracks lifts one bucket to the loading skip, dumps it and swings the empty bucket
Irom this switch to the mixer two tracks run forward over, and places it on a truck on the other track. After both loaded buckets from one truck
The material is loaded at the bins in correct proportions into steel buckets (improved are empty, the crane lifts the truck over to the other track. (Continued on page 67 I.

(Continued from page 66).

With this plan there is no interference between the loaded and empty trains.
As the mixer moves back, track sections are lifted up from the end of each track, and sent
back on the empty train.
With this system work is not delayed by bad weather; there is no loss of material; the
materials are kept clean, are exactly proportioned, are delivered just where and when the mixer
needs them, and the number of men required for operation is the minimum.
After exhaustive tests, we introduced the system herein described, and same has proved
highly satisfactory during the last four years.

Gentlemen:-
Enclosed you will please find B/L covering shipment to you at
Koppel, Pa., of one square box double side dump-4 yd. capacity Dump car, the
same having been loaded in P. R. R. car 278284 and shipped Jan. 24th,- 1912.
We wish to thank you sincerely for the use of this car during
the time you had it with us for a "try-out".
The car was used here for hauling clay, gravel,and loose earth
only. We find that it is an excellent car, very much better than the
average two way dump car It has an exceptionally well built truck, the
bed rests solidly on the truck, the bed Is low and stoutly built. The
car dumps very easily when loaded and returns to the upright position with
ease. When dumped the material runs out freely and the bed In dumped
position clears the dumped material very nicely. In dumping any car, we
find that the initial lift requires the most men, thle Is greatly alle-
viated by the manner in which you have your bed supported »n the truck.
Our shovel engineers say it is a very nice car to load as the bed is low
and broad and long thus obviating the necessity of getting the dipper so
exactly above the center of the car and also preventing much of the spill-
ing over the sides of the car when loading. The oar alBO has a strong tend-
ency to stick to ths track. It is self-evident that when you built the
car, you had a single mind for the user of the car only.
Yours truly, .__

Gentlemen:-
With reference to the 16 Care of the Koppel standard
type, 4/yd. capacity, for gauge of 36", 2-way dump, which we recently
purchased from you, it will perhaps be gratifying for you to know
that these care are serving us most satisfactorily. The principal
points about this car, which, in our opinion, make this the best car
we have ever used, are:-
The very large area of the body, making tne load of
this car by steam shovel very easy.
The low loading height of the car and its well-
balanced construction, which make it wholly stable.
We have never yet handled a car of any type which is
more easily dumped than yours. In the dumping of this car, with an
ordinary heaped load, the body practically goes over of itself on the
releasing of the chains; the load is immediately diecharged and the
operator, taking advantage of the rebound of the body is able to
easily bring the body baok to position.
We are running these cars at present in trains of 6
and the 6 cars are readily dumped and righted to position in 2 minutee,
which we consider very satisfactory.
The combination hinge and rocker device, which you
have designed for this car has proven equal to the several claims
you have made, and we find that the combination of acute dumping angle,
low loading height and the throwing out of the material clear of the
body and track is of very great value for a car in railroad and steam
shovel service.
The steel underframe construction is the best of any
we have ever seen, although when this was first on our work, it was
a bit rigid. This stiffness, however, has been worked out.
Should we ever again require any equipment of this
type, you may be assured that the order will be plaoed for "Koppel"
equipment.

Cars of this type are built with a hopper bottom and designed to deposit the load between
the rails. T h e style of door and the method of opening depend upon the capacity of the car
and the requirements of the service, for which it is intended.
These cars are m a d e for various gauges and are practically unlimited with regard to

There are no standard designs for these cars as the conditions, under which the cars are
to be used, vary practically in every case and depend upon the material to be transported,

 MINE AND QUARRY CARS
Our patent mine car bumper as shown in the accompanying cuts,
permits the use of the all steel mine car with its well-known advan-
tages and at the same time provides it with a resilient wood bumper.
The wood planks, which compose these bumpers, are enclosed
at the sides and rear by steel sills, preferably Z-shaped, which are
riveted to the steel floor of the car by their upper flanges and hold
the bumper planks by the lower ones.
This construction stiffens the floor of the car and transfers the
buffing shocks to it without danger of damage, also permits the
repair and replacement of the bumper planks with a m i n i m u m of
time and labor.

These buckets are designed primarily for handling concrete and such other mater-

O n account of the long opening, which can be m a d e as narrow as desired, these
buckets are particularly well adapted for use infillingnarrow concrete forms. They
arc provided with legs which permit lowering of the bucket on to framework so that
it will not swing out of position while the contents are being poured into the forms.
The legs allow setting of these buckets on the ground where they- will stand in up-
right position for loading and prevent damage to the door when being lowered onto the
ground.

All wheels are carefully bored; constructed with wide tread, so as to insure smooth running.
Most of our cars, with the exception of our standard brick cars, are equipped with cast steel

 PRESSED STEEL GUSSET PLATE
FOR BRICK AND DRYER CARS

T h e Figs. 12009 and 12010 shoyv our special pressed steel gusset plates for
inside and outside uprights.
These plates provide a perfectly rigid support for the uprights and absolutely
prevent rocking in any direction. This gusset brace has the unqualified approval
of m a n y brick manufacturers, w h o state that it is the most rigid and yet the most
simple brace they have ever seen on any dryer car.
T h e advantages of our pressed steel plate over a casting are:
First—It is not possible to m a k e a castingfitneat and close, and therefore
there will always be rocking in all directions and poor support for the uprights
when a cast brace is used.
Second—Our pressed steel gusset brace is m a d e the same size as the cast
piece, but the material used permits the assembler to h a m m e r all edges tight to
connected parts; this, of course, cannot be done with a cast brace.

KOPPEL
ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES AND ELECTRIC DRIVEN CARS
 INTRODUCTION
WE show here a few typical designs of electric driven cars, locomotives and storage
batter)-industrial trucks which have been developed by us in our work as builders of
industrial and narrow gauge railroads.
Electric locomotives and electric driven cars and trucks are the ideal means of handling
material in any plant whose extensive character, quantity and bulk of material handled,
or distance from a source of raw material or shipping point, is such as to preclude the use of
hand-pushed cars.
A s compared with steam or gasoline locomotives they' minimizefirerisks, give uniform
tractive effort, have higher overload capacity, require no attention; consume no power in
intervals of loading and unloading, and do not require skilled mechanics as operators.
W h e r e it is inadvisable to install trolley wires on account of overhead cranes, clearances,
etc., storage battery power-supply should be used.
During the last few years the designs of storage batteries have been developed to a
point where they can stand severe vibration, jarring, etc., without being damaged and it is,
therefore, possible to use them to great advantage on small locomotives and cars.
In a large number of industrial plants, warehouses, brick plants, etc., it is not possible
to install an industrial railroad by means of which all points can be reached and for such
conditions we have designed the E L E C T R O M O B I L E , a storage battery industrial truck.
These trucks, on account of their short turning radius, can be operated wherever material
can be hand-trucked.
In connection with these electric driven cars w e m a k e everything in railway material
and our Engineering Department will be pleased to give you any technical information and
prices on either our standard material or special material suited to your needs.

Pipe, in telescopic courses as above illustrated, is made by us in

sections of any diameter and length desired, from plate steel with riveted
lap seams. T h e longitudinal seams are double riveted, while the circum-
ferential seams are single riveted. All shop rivets are driven hot by
hydraulic machinery. Edges of plates are carefully sheared and beveled
for caulking all around. All seams, joints and scarfs are caulked inside
and outside. In each individual case this pipe is tested, and painted to
meet requirements.

of the construction of the bearings
being such that a slight adjust-
ment, more or less on either side,
will cause the bearing to turn in its
race and keep the shaft in perfect

Lever through the platform and are riveted to the frame. A bell crank held at the lower extremity of the
left hand upright connects through rods to a second lever which engages a large sector gear on the
controller and causes the truck to move forward or backward.
Brake Pedal The truck however, cannot be started unless the operator stand upon the brake pedal, conven-
iently located on the operating platform. Standing on this brake pedal releases the brake which is
normally held tight on the brake drum of the differential by a tension spring. When the brake is
released a non-arcing switch drum in the controller is revolved and closes the circuit between the
battery and controller.
Pedal Lock The simple act of taking the foot off the brake pedal cuts off the current, applies the brake and
stops the truck, and at the same time locks the brake pedal so that the truck cannot be again started
at the speed stopped by stepping on the brake pedal. To release the brake pedal, the controller handle
must lie in the neutral position.

Electromobile L u m b e r Tractor
Just as the Electromobile Crane Truck consists of a standard Electromobile and a standard
make of Jib Crane, so does the Lumber Tractor consist of a standard Electromobile Tractor type
EJ and a detachable Lumber Bolster, the main part of which is a standard heavy caster and caster
wheel.
The lumber is carried on the usual two-wheeled Lumber Buggie and the long end rests on the
Electromobile Lumber Bolster to which it is fastened by chains. The Electromobile Lumber Bol-
ster is so designed that, besides being attachable to the rear end of type EJ or EJS, it may be
attached to the front end of any standard type of Electromobile, thus providing an efficient means
for the occasional hauling of long material such as pipe or structural steel.

It is often found to be more convenient to push cars running on industrial railroad track,
rather than to pull them by means of an Electromobile. For this purpose, the Tractor (or any other
standard type of Electromobile) is equipped with heavy steel plate bumpers, as shown opposite,
in Fig. 1703. Besides serving their purpose as bumpers, these heavy steel plates also afford the
necessary protection for the driver and the battery required when the Electromobile is used for
switching and spotting cars.

Special Bodies
All bodies shown can be secured in size and design adapted to all our Carrier Trucks and Trailers

Design Each body shown in the following pages is

the result of the combined experience of the
Koppel Engineering Department which has,
during the past 40 years, been called upon to
devise equipment for the economical disposition
of every conceivable sort of Industrial Trans-
portation.
Each body has been designed for the definite
purpose of lowering the operating costs of the
work it is intended to accomplish.
Efficiency First cost, maintenance cost, operating cost
and the value of the work performed considered,
these special bodies and the Electromobile and
Trailers constitute the nearest approach to
100%, efficiency so far made in theirfieldsof
operation.
Self -Clearing All Koppel Special Bodies are self-clearing,
and it is not necessary to rake out or shovel out
the material.
Dumping It is not necessary for the driver to leave the
platform to dump the bodies. Dumping is
accomplished from the platform by simple and
trouble-proof mechanism.
Removing Lifting hooks on each end of body permit it
Bodies to be removed easily lor access to batteries
through special door in platform.
Material Every particle of material which goes into
these bodies has been selected because 40 years
of experience has proved that material to be
the best adapted for the continuous perform-
ance of its particular duty.
Construction The same care is given to the construction of
these bodies as is devoted to the other Indus-
trial Transportation devices which have made
Koppel equipment standard throughout the
engineering profession.
Additional Special designs of bodies for various purposes
Designs are continually being developed by our Engi-
neering Department. Descriptions and draw-
ings of these will be sent you and can be pre-
served in this catalog binder for reference
purposes.

Fig. 1698

This body is specially designed for handling heavy material which has pronounced adhesive
qualities, a m a x i m u m dumping angle of 60 degrees being obtainable. T h e dumping mechanism
is a simple and efficient arrangement of levers operated by sprockets and a chain. T h e body, after
reaching the 60-degree dumping angle, will automatically recede from the highest position as
operator continues to turn the crank. This eliminates any possibility of the body falling off.
A chute is provided at the front end of the body, by means of which the load is thrown clear
of front wheels or dumped directly into a hopper.
Lifting hooks on each end of the body permit it to be removed easily for access to batteries
through special door in platform.
T h e Body is made in capacities from 14 to 30 cu. ft., according to the weight per cu. ft. of

Electromobile Trailers
Constitute the logical solution of the many baffling trans-
portation problems arising daily in overcrowded Industrial
Plants and Freight Terminals.
Designed and built by acknowledged experts in thefieldof
Industrial Transportation, these devices yield a degree of effici-
ency hitherto unknown.
One Tractor and Six Trailers will do the work of three carrier
or elevating platform trucks and cost less, and the Tractor never
needs to stand idle.
One of our lightest Electromobiles has been operated con-
tinuously for twenty-four hours a day (stopping only for change
of battery) for several years, displacing ten laborers.

The special construction of these Electromo-

bile Trailers makes them the most durable trucks
on'the market.
The frame is made of 3-inch rolled channel
section, connected by rolled angles. The bolsters
are reinforced by '-4-inch cover plates and are
provided with pressed steel center plates. The
trucks also are constructed of rolled channel
shapes in sizes to suit the different diameter of
wheels specified by customers. The T-Handle is
made so that the trailer m a y be moved by hand,
and the standard Electromobile coupler is made
to suit this T-Handle construction. The swivel
trucks are radially connected, which construc-
tion makes them follow the tractor perfectly on
any curve or sharp turn. Wheels are provided
with roller bearings and can be furnished with
rubber tires when desired.

The view above shows Type A in operation in brickyard carrying 2,100 lbs. of bricks from kiln to car. Road conditions here
are severe but not prohibitive. Truck in one trip does work requiring ten tofifteentrips of one laborer by old method—300lbs.of brick
to wheelbarrow at very slow speed—and displaces thereby three to four laborers, saving its cost in less than one year.

ELECTROMOBILES IN OPERATION
W h e n we placed this machine on the market, w e had only one excuse for
so doing.
W e didn't say, " B u y the Electromobile because it is the most modern
method ol transportation in and around manufacturing plants, warehouses,
etc.," although of course it is.
W e didn't say " B u y the Electromobile because it will make a good impres-
sion on chance visitors."
W e didn't say, " B u y the Electromobile because it is new and novel."
W e simply said, "The Electromobile will save you time and money," and
proved it; that is the big reason w h y so m a n y Electromobiles arc in service
and the only reason w h y you should use them n o w — a reason that is stronger
than ever before and constantly becoming more powerful.
The Electromobile is the most modern, the neatest and most unobtrusive
method of hauling in itsfield,but these advantages are only incidental and
secondary to the money, time and labor saving feature of this device.
With an Electromobile haulage system you will be practically independent
of labor conditions in this department at all times. Emergencies of all other
characters will also find you always well prepared to meet them.
The Electromobile cannot be overworked, or as one user puts it, "It will
stand a remarkable amount of abuse."
The harder you use it and the busier you keep it, the sooner it will pay for
itself and begin to show a profit for you.
If the Electromobile displaces only T W O laborers, it will pay for itself in
a year.
It never gets tired; you can work it twenty-four hours per day every day
in the year if you wish, and it will unfailingly do all that is expected of it year
in and year out.
The following pages demonstrate actual instances of Electromobile labor-
saving service — instances which speak for themselves.

in fact, we were among the first in our line of work to make
the experiment with them, and since that time have constantly
increased the nuraber in use.
The 3aving in labor is very marked, especially if heavy
