The free air passesout through a circuitous route, and, it is stated, is practi-cally dustless. The accumulation of dust can be removedby unscrewing a cap at the bottom of the separator drum. The illustration shows the dust exhauster attachment ap-plied to one of the Abrasive Machine Tool Companys No. 3surface grinders but the application could easily be made tomany other types of machines. The question simply resolvesitself into a matter of piping to the machine and designingthe proper collector for sucking in the dust at the point whereit is generated. Application of the parts is then easily Motor Driven Dust Exhauster System Self-Loading Type Electric Truck AN industrial self-loading truck of improved design hasrecently been placed on the market by the IndustrialTruck Company division of the Cowan Truck Com-pany, Holyoke, Mass. The truck is of all-steel constructionand is guaranteed for 5,000 lb. capacity. It has a quick act-ing elevating mechanism and elevates in five seconds whenequipped with 28 cells and six seconds with 21 cells. The lifting mechanism is operated by an independent,heavy duty, series wound motor and worm gear platform lifts vertically, the rise being A]A in. Theplatform may be stopped at any point going up or down, andrequires only three seconds for full lowering. The rear endis equipped with a heavy bumper which effectually takesall shocks, and protects the lift platform. A drawbar attach-ment also is provided which enables the truck to be used asa light duty tractor. An automatic brake and circuit breake
