dpgibbons Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Presumably the protection was provided for stone that had already been finished (ie dressed), but I imagine that was not required for stone shipped in a roughly hewn state. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Northroader Posted September 5, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 5, 2018 Is the banding around the stones some sort of aid to assist crane attachment in lifting the stones on and off the wagon? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trog Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Just found this. Large granite blocks no sign of ropes or chains. But does seem to have some form of protection to too edges. 15358149481351582743350183664849.jpg The blocks could be restrained from longitudinal and lateral movement by timbers nailed to the wagon floor. Their own weight should be enough to stop them from moving upwards, and jumping over the timbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
