Book 3 — Three-Caster Truck for Moving Crates and Furniture
Reading edition
A convenient truck for handling heavy objects, especially in the home where commercial devices for this purpose are not available, is shown in the illustration. It consists of a frame built up of three 1¹⁄₄ by 2 by 14-in. strips, fixed to a disk, ⁷⁄₈ by 12 in. in size. Revolving casters are mounted under the ends of the arms, giving great freedom of movement in transporting loads. The three-caster arrangement is better than the use of four casters, because it accommodates itself to irregularities in the floor.—Armydas E. Sturdivant, Muncie, Ind.
