| #9. Slip tongue wheels
This sketch was done by an art student from Vernon Secondary School - Kathy Stogneff
These high wheels were designed to lift the short logs up off the ground for hauling
It took a 4 horse team to pull the wheels - 2 were attached to the wheels and 2 to the sliding tongue which operated a hoisting device that raised the logs.
On steeper slopes, the tongue was pushed back to lower the logs down so that they could act as brakes
