This was the model G-221 trailer that was
used to transport search lights. It had a manual winch mounted on the
front of the trailer which was operated by large hand wheels. The M-1
drawbar hae a flexible tongue which would split allowing the back of the
trailer to drop down to facilitate the loading of a 4 wheel search light
dolly. The winch would pull the searchlight into the trailer and the
weight shift would level the trailer off to the point where it again could
be locked.
The M-1 also had the additional side
piece bolted on the the top to make the trailer sides appear higher. This
trailer was equipped with 4 leveling jacks.
