Trolley (horse-drawn)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

   Jump to: [5]navigation, [6]search

          The trolley of a [7]tram or [8]trolleybus is something else, as
          is a [9]trolley car.

   Among horse-drawn vehicles, a trolley was a goods vehicle with a
   platform body with four small wheels of equal size, mounted underneath
   it, the front two on a turntable undercarriage. The wheels were rather
   larger and the deck proportionately higher than those of a [10]lorry.
   A large trolley is likely to have had a headboard with the driver's
   seat on it, as on a lorry but a smaller trolley may have had a box at
   the front of the deck or the driver seated on a corner of the deck and
   his feet on a shaft. With a very small trolley, the 'driver' may even
   have led the horse as a pedestrian. They were normally drawn by a
   single [11]pony or [12]horse but a large trolley would have a pair.

   It was primarily an urban vehicle so that, on the paved roads, the
   small wheels were not a handicap. In any case, the axles would
   normally be sprung. It was typically used by market [13]fruiterers and
   [14]greengrocers but commonly also by [15]coal merchants. These would
   have a headboard to stabilize the front row of sacks which then held
   up the next and so on. The deck was at a good height for taking the
   bags onto the coalman's back and there was no protruding rear wheel to
   obstruct his access to them.

   Many ended up with [16]rag and bone merchants who were likely to add
   side and tail boards to keep their purchases aboard.

   The largest and sturdiest trolleys were those used with [17]lift vans.

   As in many fields, as time went by, people used the word without
   understanding its detailed meaning so that it became applied less
   precisely and other configurations were given the name and some
   trolleys were known by other names. For example, the electric [18]milk
   float is more a trolley than a [19]float, as is the brewer's 'dray'
   seen at horse shows.
