This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 Excerpt: ...only two spools would be necessary, for the middle spool (Fig. 192) is used as a support to keep the top line of cans from sagging. When a boy turns the crank or windlass at Fig. 190 the can-laden belt of clothes-line moves over the spools; the cans on top, being all upside down, go down into the water in that position at Fig. 194, and come up on the under side of the spool filled with water. When they reach the top spool (Fig. 190), they turn upside down and empty the water into a wooden trough placed there to catch it, and from the trough the water runs into the barrel (Fig. 196). Fig. 193 shows the clothes-line with the wooden spreaders attached by a wire and the tin can attached to a spreader. Fig. 192 shows a front view of the middle or supporting spool with a broomstick shaft. This spool and the lower one (Fig. 194) are both made of "hard-bread" crates. Fig. 195 shows some wooden washers, which are simply pieces of boards with holes bored through them, and used each side of the "hard-bread" crate to prevent it from rubbing against the upright posts. Fig. 197 shows the end of the spreader, the wire, and the notches in the flat stick to hold the wire when it is bound to the rope. A "hard-bread" crate may not be handy for my readers, but a slatted cylinder is an easy thing to make. To make the round end or wheel A B C D E F G H), it is first necessary to have a square piece of plank; then saw off the corners (H-G F-E D-C A-B), as shown by the dotted line in Fig. 199. The corners may again be cut off, as shown by the finer inside dotted line, and your wheel is done. But for the ends of the spool of Fig. 201 we need a square hole through the centre of the wheels, as shown by the dotted line at U (Fig. 199). To get the centre o...
