Wheelbarrow as Tennis-Court Marker
Tennis Courts may be Laid Out Quickly by the Use of a Wheelbarrow to Which a Can Containing a Thin Lime Mixture has been Fixed, as Shown
Many home tennis courts are not provided with a marker, and the use of a wheelbarrow for this purpose has been found convenient. A can provided with hooks at its upper edge was attached to the front of the wheelbarrow, as shown in the sketch, and the lime mixture, very thin, poured into it. Holes were made at the lower edge of the can so that the liquid ran onto the wheel and was transferred to the court. The holes must be made large enough so that they will not clog quickly, and the mixture must be very thin. It is easy to cover the outline several times if necessary. Hence, to use a thin mixture will be found economical, rather than to waste time removing sediment from the spout.
