November, 1903 THE CANADA LUMBERMAN '3 Fig. 3 shows a loaded carriage passing a hanger, and that the construction of hangers, of supports, and carnage, enables this to be done with safety and ease. Fig. 2 shows a load of seven railway sleep- ers attached to the carriage, and the next load ready in the trolley. In that picture the haul- ing rope is shown clipped up on both sides of opposite side of the carriage, the same pro- cedure being followed at'the starting platform, and the new load is immediately attached, af. ter taking the precaution referred to above to prevent the carriage starting prematurely.
