. The Civil engineer and architect's journal, scientific and railway gazette. Architecture; Civil engineering; Science. 266 THE CIVIL ENGINEER AND ARCHITECT'S JOURNAL. [August, The framing to be all of good English oak; sides and ends to be 12 in. deep and If in. thick, also of oak or elm, and connected with kneed straps to the cross sheths, e, these straps to be 2i in. by 1 in. thick, sunk flush with the surface of the deals, and fixed with A in. bolts. The distance between the outside of the upper soles at the hinder end to be such as to allow them to come between the innef sides of the under- soles when the wagon is being emptied. The door or back end to be made to lift off. The end of the soles to be hooped with iron, 2 in. broad and i in. thick. The joint or hinge, g, for the coup, to be formed according to the sketch, so as to give a broad surface to bear on. The wheels to be 3ft. diameter, and the naves cut and hooped with iron, and to weigh cwt. qrs. lb. each. The axles to be turned and of the best scrap iron, and the whole to be completed in a substantial and workmanlike manner. Remarks.—If it be objected that the upper soles, b, are placed diagonally, they may be put parallel with the inside of the under ones, which then might be shortened at the long end, and the crook, h, for traction attached to the under side; but in this there is a disadvan- tage, for if they come in contact with other wagons, the shock will be given to the coup, which throws a considerable strain upon the joint or hinge. The size of the wheels might be reduced to 2 ft. 6 in., but I do not think them too large, viz. 3 ft. The next description of wagon, shown in the annexed engravings, Figs. 3 & 4, does not tip from a joint, but slides along rollers or WAGON, BRANDLING JUNCTION Fig. 3.—Side Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations
