The bell-crank arm on thehandle holds the clutch fast in its lockedposition. 30. PNEUMATIC BELT SHIPPER. The device consists sim-ply of a small air cylinder with a piston travel, such as will give the belt the proper throw; the cyl-inder is piped from each endto a two-way cock, the plug ofwhich has a bar with a loopedcord within reach of the opera-tor. Attached to the piston isan arm <?, which extends downto the bar carrying the shifterforks—air does the rest. Sec-tion 31 explains the whole thingfor a belt requiring but onemovement. Machines having a backingbelt are provided for by the ar-rangement shown in section 32,in which the piston and beltshifter are held in a centralposition by two coiled springswhen the belts are on the loosepulleys. The springs are com-pressed, and their resistance iseasily overcome, when air is admitted to the opposite ends or thecyhnder, which action will put the belt on either the forward or back-ing TRANSMISSION OF POWER. 31
