Carret

Carret refers to a type of cart or wagon, typically with two wheels, designed for carrying goods or people. The term is often used in historical contexts and can describe various forms of simple wheeled vehicles. These vehicles were historically important for transportation and trade before the widespread adoption of more complex machinery. The design of a carret usually emphasizes simplicity and functionality, with a frame built from wood or metal and attached to an axle. Propulsion could be provided by draft animals such as horses or oxen, or in some cases, by human power. The specific design and size of a carret could vary significantly depending on its intended use and the region in which it was employed. In some cultures, similar vehicles have different names but serve analogous purposes. The evolution of the carret reflects the development of basic engineering and the need for efficient movement of resources in pre-industrial societies. While less common today, the concept of the carret persists in modern depictions of historical settings and in certain specialized applications.
