The sliops of the Delaware &Hudson Canal Co. have long enjoyed thercputation of having one of the best equip-ments in the way of lifts, cranes, etc., many of the earliest efforts in the designof lifts were made here. A more complete and satisfactory in-stallation of these tools is not easily con-ceived, filling, as they do, all require-ments at machines and other places about which is uni(iue and as efficient for thepurpose as any device of the kind evermade. Four cylinders 18 inches diameter,having rams with a lift of .^o inches, arebuilt so as to project above the floor:Lbout ,36 inches, and are placed to clear I. Jj_4J loi,:— J
