G-McGiffert Loader Loading First Tier on Large Flat Car—Observe Method of Passing Under. bodying many excellent points, they also lacked cer- tain features, one of which was their inability to load several cars from one spot without moving the loader, a very desirable requisite, especially where a consid- erable quantity was to be loaded at a given point. To obviate this difficulty, and eliminate the necessity of switching the loader back to the other end of every empty train, and also to facilitate greater speed in spotting cars another device was introduced (Cut E), based on a different principle. This arrangement consisted of a derrick and der- rick-supporting platform, which was blocked up in position over the track, the blocking being of suffi- cient height and width to allow an empty car to pass between the supports and under the derrick platform. Placed upon any car, it was moved from point to point along the track, and when in position, was cap- able of loading several cars without moving. The earlier forms of this machine consisted entirely of blocking, but this blocking feature later developed into adjustable spuds or legs, so that the derrick plat- form could be raised or lowered as conditions demand- ed. This type of loader came into use about 1894,.
