The engineis then stopped, and the set is let down bythe tail rope, which is still attached, tillthe first tub (if there are no full tubs stand-ing) reaches the shaft. Whilst going down, spraggs are put into the tub wheels, by means ofwhich the tubs are afterwards let down to the shaft as HAULAGE. 1857 Fig. 3911 represents the knock-off link used at the other end of the set. When the rope has tobe disconnected, the cotter at C is removed, and the link L is pushed off by the foot.
