WAGGON, a wheel-carriage, of which there are various forms, accommodated to the different uses they are intended for. The common waggon consists of the shafts or rads, being the two pieces which the hind-horse bears up; the welds; the flotes, or cross pieces, which hold the shafts together; the bolster, being that part on which the fore-wheels and the axle-tree turn in wheeling the waggon across the road; the chest or body of the waggon, having the staves or rails fixed thereon; the bales, or hoops, which compose the top; the tilt, the place covered with cloth, at the end of the waggon. See MECHANICS, No. 58.
