Scientific Construction When a large audieifae in a theatre pr any other public gathering is stampeded and becomes parfic stricken, they all try to get out of the door at ow ef The result is usually a complete blocking of the exit. If the passage way could give back and expand--become larger as it were, the mass of humanity would free itself and the blockade would be broken. "/ ^ The WEST McHENR Y SPECIAL Spreader is equip ped with expansion chambers at the rear of the box and just ahead of the beater wheel. When tlie load is moved back, packed and solid as it is, there is room for it to EXPAND ifs the beater wheel penetrates this load. There is no jam­ ming, packing or,congestion which means heav.y draft. Be-., cause the load does not pack, the beater wheel runs freely and easily and discharges its load without adding any par­ ticular additional draft to the horses. One of these expansion chambers is located on each side of the box near the beater wheel. This forms what we call the NO-CHOKE BOX. This patented feature of this MODERN Spreader will, in itself, reduce the draft on any spreader that does not liaA&e it, at least 15 per cent. By eliminating this heavy draft the beater wheel does not ha££ the friction which it otherwise would have and this removes the strain from the horses and the strain from the machine.
