PNEUMATIC LIFT. Ridgwaytype, oil governed. A tube extends from areservoir down the inside of the hollow pistonrod. The reservoir is filled with oil. Whenthe hook is lowered, the oil is drawn into thepiston rod through the check valve. Thechain wheel and needle valve govern the flowof oil, which by its non-compressibility pre-vents vibration of the load and holds it atany desired height. This device eliminatesthe jerky motion of the plain air lift. Type of the Craig Ridgway & Son Com- pany, Coatesville, 372. AIR-OPER-ATED HYDRAU-LIC CRANE. Com-pressed air pressure ina supplementary cyl-inder forces the waterinto the lifting cylin-der. A water valvegoverns the flow ofwater and holds theweight steady orlocked by closing thevalve. 152 AIR-POWER MOTORS AND APPLIANCES.
