Note the canvas spool. It didn't move--a team of horses pulled the canvas out for lay-out. As has been pointed out here before, Cap Curtis was onto something, but this unit needed improvement. When the mechanisms were engaged for load-out, the canvas suffered greatly from being dragged for spooling.
