It was necessaryin this case to provide a large number of hoisis which couldbe easily and started and stopped, and could be runfrom a central line of shafting. The pattern finally adoptedwas that made by the firm of Volney W. Mason «& Company,of Providence, R. I. In the building there are 61 of these hoisting machines,driven by a main line shaft having its bearings in the top of.
