They are less liable to catch on the sides of the Elevator trunking, and no breaking and tearing as is common to the cheap wired or rough iron cups secured to the belt in the ordinary manner. Cheap cups made in the usual style, wired tops, for old mills and repair jobs, constantly on hand.
Our Improved Fastening.
This is of special advantage, has been used since 1869, and all who use and see it pronounce it vastly superior. It is a copper clasp nicely contrived to firmly clamp the bucket to the belt. It perforates the belt and cup through two or three slotted openings. The cup can be easily removed from the belt; it does not cut the belt so as to weaken it; it prevents the cups from tipping as they pass down. The expense is some more than screws, but those having put up common warehouse elevators with this fastening, think it the cheapest article in use.
Bag Trucks.
The frequent calls for this useful article has induced us to prepare for and make them in large quantities, until we find ourselves supplying the leading retail and jobbing houses of the west cheaper than they have been heretofore supplied by eastern makers. It is a better constructed and more desirable tool than will generally be found. We make a box truck also, similar in style.
Conveyor Flights.
Of all sizes required, made of sugar or maple lumber. They are smooth, uniform and of desirable shape. In ordering, give dimensions of face or front of flight and size of hole you intend driving the tenon into; also, the size and kind of wood the shaft is made of.
