Number 6 - the Utility Trailer/Gilly Wagon

Okay, to be honest, I don't remember what this unit is for. It's a trailer which gets hauled behind the generator truck. It is open on the top and at the rear. There are holes in the sides as if there used to be two rods forming a sort of rack.

It may have held the canvas and poles for the marquee, possibly other tents as well. Hence, I am calling it the "gilly wagon", which translates from Circusese as "utility wagon".

A trailer like this could also be used to haul ringcurb, large props and rigging.

One of the side ribs has come off this wagon, the aforementioned racks/rods are missing, and one side is not lettered. It will need a bit of touch-up paint.

Next on the list is the cage wagon (and the only life forms currently on the show).
