Bonus Material Amber's stall cleaner.
"You see," Amber said, pointing to the drawing she'd made in the sand of the stable yard. The stable's owner stood beside her squinting down at her brilliant design. "This is an automatic stall cleaner. After the horse defecates, the stable hand turns this crank, which turns the main drive arm, which turns the secondary drive arms, which activates the scooping arm. The arm pushes the unwanted substance over against the wall into a tin tray. Then the stable hand pulls the rope, which lifts the back end of the tray and slides the refuse into the bucket outside the stall. After that all your stable hand will have to do is empty the buckets. Loads less work. See?" The stable owner looked from the drawing to
Amber and scratched his head. "And how much steel did you want for this
contraption?" |
