1851 Great Exhibition: Official Catalogue: Class IX.: John Maynard and Son

122. MAYNARD, JOHN, and SON, Bedford — Designers and Manufacturers.

Improved Bedfordshire one-horse cart, having the body without either slot or mortice; mounted on an improved iron axle. The wheels are made with an improved iron hub, oak spokes, and ash felloes, patent half-round hoop tire. The side and front raves are fixtures, broad, and set nearly flat, so that the load may be carried up wide and square; the side raves, being arched over the wheels, admit of the body lying direct on the axle, bringing the floor of the cart near the ground, which is an advantage in draught and loading. The shafts, being bent, bring the body level when at work. It is furnished with an iron regulator, of simple construction, which is used when emptying manure in small heaps upon the land, or, when descending steep hills, it is fitted with hind and front ladders. Constructed to carry 30 cwt. with one horse.
