The shops of William Sellers & Company, Philadelphia, arenow building for the Baldwin Locomotive Works new shops,two loo-ton high speed traveling cranes, each with two 50-tontrolleys, for a span of about 75 ft., and for a shop about 340 Each crane is to be driven by electric motors on thehanging platform, and is to have the following speed per min-ute : 100 ft. and 200 ft. on runway, 50 ft. and 100 ft. on ,^pp^po^i:^/|J^ >1 E \.MKK ■■ ( . West Superior for the construction of/these vessels, which are,as the illustration shows, really whale-shaped, and which, theinventor claims, present the largest space for cargo combinedwith a form adapted to resist storms and other obstacles to navi-gation, and to present the least resistance to propulsion. The steamer is necessarily arranged somewhat differently fromthe barges, the principal changes being in the house arrange-ments above the deck. The hull is the same as that of thebarges excepting in the run aft, which is more like an ordinarysteamer. The vessel shown in the illustration will carry about2,600 net tons on 15 ft. of water, and with this draft the cabindeck will be 15 ft. above water. The general dimensions are :2S0 ft. long over all, 30 ft. beam and 22 ft. moulded has Hodge fore-and-aft compound engines, with cylinders26 and 50 in. in diameter by 42 in stroke.
