This is a rope hoist; has a lock blockwhich enables a mechanic to hoist a piecewith one hand, and leaves the other freeto adjust the piece in the machine.

The heavier theload, the greater the pressure to hold therope. This is said to be a new principle inhoists, and the many fromrailroad and other machine shops speakvery highly of it as a device which canbe depended on when wanted.
