Tour Scotland photograph of a box type farm cart at Fife Folk Museum, Ceres, Fife, Scotland. The un-sprung cart was a simple, sturdy, one horse, two wheeled vehicle used by roadmen, farmers and the like for small loads of relatively dense material like road metal or dung. In Australia and New Zealand, it is frequently called a dray. Elsewhere, that is a name occasionally used. The name dray is also used for a wagon. A sprung cart, by contrast was a light, one horse, or often, pony, two wheeled vehicle with road springs, for the carriage of passengers on informal occasions. It was a class of vehicles with the name varying according to the body mounted on it.
