Abstract
The present disclosure of a board bundle cradle is for use with the free end of a dip stick having a pivoted work carrier at its free end having a hook which has a horizontally rotatable work carrier movable through an arc of the order of 106.degree. horizontally relative to the pivot. The board road board bundle cradle has a pair of spaced apart end frames each of which has a base member adapted to receive and support a bundle of boards to be laid into a board road. A major and a minor board bundle containment member upstands from each end of each base member and extends from the upper portion of each major support member. Spacer means between the spaced apart end frames rigidly secures the frames together. The portion lying between the upwardly forwardly inclined member and the upper free end of the minor board bundle containment member defines the loading mouth of the cradle through which a bundle of boards to be laid are introduced to the base members of each end frame. The cradle is carried by the hook on the horizontally rotatable work carrier and is engagable with the spacer at the upwardly forwardly inclined member of each end frame to rotate the cradle containing a board bundle alternately ninety degrees for presenting the boards for laying both longitudinally and transversely of the direction of the board road to be laid.
