Herr Dump Car: 1925

"Herr Dump Car Mfg. Co., 1925." A new sidewalk in Washington, or the capital's Maryland suburbs. View full size. National Photo Company glass negative.

Balance

I was looking for a counterbalance when I noticed the rear wheels are farther apart than the front. Keeps it from tipping.

Pullar vs. Herr

The Pullar dump wagon dumps off the back of the vehicle, like a modern dump truck. Abraham Herr's dump car dumps off the side...

Patented

US Patent number 1487201, filed April 24, 1919.

[Also 1416975. - Dave]
