I've written some fairly extensive notes on the subject.  I posted them
in two short articles on Mel Wright's website on busker organs.  The
more recent one is

  Carts for Small Organs by Wallace Venable

It follows about five years of experience with the one described in

  Box-Cart for a Grind Organ

Since I wrote the "Carts for Small Organs" piece I have constructed one
along the lines of the folding cart. I don't have a photo of it posted,
but it is the blue cart in two COAA Rally photo collections:

The Mel Wright website also has another design:
