Another kind of horse-fork is made to nm on one spar only, which is not rigid, but merely 1 Rk ON l-RVMEWORk suspended from the ridge-tree. In this case the four small wheels which carry the fork run on the one spar instead of two, clasping it, so to speak, turned inwards instead of outwards on the frame to which they and the fork are attached, and leaving a space between each pair, so as to clear the iron bolts by which the spar is suspended. This principle will answer instead of the fore- going one inside a barn, while it admits of being arranged to serve for stacking outside, as seen in Fig. 82; and the framework that carries the fork-equipment will answer well to sustain a rick-cloth in showery weather. Yet another kind, made by Mr. Wright, of Cardiff, used for stacking only, and not applicable to the inside of a barn, is attached to a pole and suspended from a boom, as seen in Fig. 83. The
