Tumbrel
A tumbrel (alternatively tumbril), is a two-wheeled cart or wagon typically designed to be hauled by a single horse or ox. Their original use was for agricultural work; in particular they were associated with carrying manure. Their most notable use was taking prisoners to the guillotine during the French Revolution.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tumbrel )〕 They were also used by the military for hauling supplies.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tumbrel )〕 In this use the carts were sometimes covered. The two wheels allowed the cart to be tilted to more easily discharge its load.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tumbrel )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/tumbrel )〕 The word is also used as a name for the cucking-stool and for a type of balancing scale used in medieval times to check the weight of coins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Medieval Tumbrel )〕
