Another view of bicycles being delivered to Warwick Goods
yard where they will be loaded in to wagons via Coventry No 2 goods shed. The
wagon turntable in the foreground was a space saving device and was operated by
using shunting horses. The horses pulled the wagons using chains (see image 'lnwrrm908') and when the wagon was positioned on the
turntable the chain would be looped around the stone block seen on the left and
the wagon pulled. Being locked on the table meant that the table itself rotated
until it was in the desired position. C1890s
