The rear wheels are 57¾ inches in diameter; the fore wheels are smaller, in order to turn under the body of the reach.
The driver's seat is a lock-box of three compartments, the two end ones being for spare revolvers and revolver-cartridges. The middle compartment is for the following articles, viz.: 1 wheel-grease can and spatula; 1 self-oiling axle-grease syringe; 1 hand-hammer; 1 wrench.
On the rear of the wagon is carried a 25-gallon water-keg, fitted with bronze screw-bung and a spigot. Under the body of the wagon and above the reach and rockers are carried the spare double (1) and single (2) trees, and the following intrenching-tools, viz.: 2 long-handled shovels, 2 spades, 2 pickaxes, 2 axes.
To the foot-board is attached a dash-board lamp, which when not in use may be carried in the compartment under the driver's seat.
A boot to protect the driver is also provided.
The wagon has a double cover; the first, of water-proof canvas, covering the top only; the second, of cotton duck, extends down the sides and far enough in rear to lace at the ends. A stout canvas cover in rear of the driver's seat prevents the load from being thrown to the front.
No special place is provided for the two canvas water-buckets, which should be carried where they can readily be gotten at.
To fill the axle with oil remove the screw-washers and fill the spindles by means of the axle-grease syringe.
