The power is usually communicated from the steam-engine or othermotor, by gearing or belting to a line-shaft which is placed in front of, and par-allel with, the line of batteries. On this shaft are pulleys, opposite to those ofthe several cam-shafts, to which they transmit, by belting, the power necessarytor the stamps. The same shaft imparts motion, by means of countershaftingand belting, to the rock-breaker and to the pans. For the latter a line of Floor. I, I!,,,/. Bren/ar ( Bait in /> Tanks E.
