"Lest We Forget"
We got up at 6 Ocl. to met the 8 ocl. train to get the spreader Cullerne was agraid that he might miss the train and looose the spreader because Starry called him down about the work. We left the north yards at 9:30 am and ran to stony plain arr. at 4:30 20 miles
I hope that I'm reading "spreader" properly, but it really doesn't look right. I just don't really know what type of equipment it is. It could be "spacer" but that looks like "ea" after the "sp". It certainly isn't "speaker" although it almost looks like that's what it is. So, at least for now, I'm going with "spreader". I'm open to suggestions!
By the way...Happy Valentine's Day...I hope everybody either bought or received roses today!
Dave, it is a spreader. Wikipedia describes it here:
