Tumbrel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

19th-century illustration of a tumbrel conveying prisoners to the guillotine

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 infamous use was taking prisoners to the guillotine during the French Revolution.[1][2] They were also used by the military for hauling supplies.[2] In this use, the carts were sometimes covered. The two wheels allowed the cart to be tilted to discharge its load more easily.[3][2] Many tumbrels also had hinged tailboards for the same reason.

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.[4]
