If the shafts are fixed,' as in some of Busby's carts, to the side of the cart, or a crank shaft used, instead of being a continuation of the sole, the greatest power of draught may be combined with the lowest centre of gravity, but this arrangement increases the cost.HI. The Improvements Recently Introduced.Under this head we propose briefly vibram five fingers referring to some of the most approved varieties of carts. The Scotch tilt-cart is a great favourite with many. The distance between the shafts is 20 to 22 inches. The shaft and frame are of ash, the spokes of oak, the fellies of elm, and the axle of iron. It holds 1 cubic yard of earth, is 5 feet long, 4 wide, and 16 inches deep ; with wings it presents a superficial surface of 50 feet, and will carry from 12 to 14 cwr. of straw; its cost is about 12/. In the west of Eng. land, vibram fivefingers Milford of Thorveton is well known as a successful competitor for the premiums for carts and waggons of the Bath and West of England Agricultural Society.At the Yeovil Show, in 1856, Milford obtained the prize for a cart with solid sides, having iron work in the thickness of the wood, and furnished with spring catches for the tailboard. The Judges remark on this :—" It was thoroughly well turned out of hand, hut susceptible of further improvements in construction, and especially in the form of the projecting ends of the hottom frame, which strike the ground when the cart is tipped, and which, being straight, are subject to a cross strain more likely to break them than if curved (as in a cart exhibited by Lane), so that the end grain of the wood should strike the ground instead of the side."Although his materials and workmanship are good, perhaps there is scarcely enough attention paid by Milford to principles of construction. vibram five fingers kso There are too many opportunities given for the lodgment of wet. Busby, by greater attention to these points, has succeeded on several occasions in carrying off the prize from Milford. Busby's wheels have less dish than Milford's; this lessens draught. The axle he employs is iron; this enables him to keep the body lower, although his wheels are slightly higher than Milford's. The mode of tipping is in itself good, and affords a ready means of adjusting the load, so as to preserve a level on hilly roads. This gives great relief to the horse. There are likewise fewer five fingers shoes places for the lodgment of wet, and fewer nails and mortices than in most carts.
