Notes
Horse-drawn trolleys were first used in Lancaster in 1874, but were soon replaced by electric models. The trolley ran from Penn Square out to the furthest reaches of the county. Open-car trolleys with a bench but no sides would be used during the summer and closed-car trolleys would be used during the winter. Trolley service ended in Lancaster in 1947

Notes
From advertisement in folder:
" We now offer to the most particular (wagon) builder a fifth-wheel with gear connections for drop center work which is ideal in every respect. ..has a connection for spring carrier to take the weight off the horse. Can be used on pole or shafts."
Internet: The term fifth wheel comes from a similar coupling used on four-wheel horse-drawn carriages and wagons. The device allowed the front axle assembly to pivot in the horizontal plane, to facilitate turning.
