has gloss | eng: :A tram (trolley) or trolleybus is something else. Among horse-drawn vehicles, a trolley was a goods vehicle with a platform body with four small wheels of equal size, mounted underneath it, the front two on a turntable undercarriage. The wheels were rather larger and the deck proportionately higher than those of a lorry. A large trolley is likely to have had a headboard with the drivers seat on it, as on a lorry but a smaller trolley may have had a box at the front of the deck or the driver seated on a corner of the deck and his feet on a shaft. With a very small trolley, the driver' may even have led the horse as a pedestrian. They were normally drawn by a single pony or horse but a large trolley would have a pair. |
