It may be added that there is also avariety in the driving appliances. The beltdrive is by a two-speed countershaft andthree-step cone for a 4-inch belt. diameter of the cone is 26inches and the minimum 18 Indies. Thecountershaft pulleys are 20 inches in di-ameter, and run at speeds of 225 and 270 drive is by a 15-horsepower motor, 3 to1 variable speed. When the drum typecrane is furnished, it is operated by a 3-horsepower speed motor. The ground space occupied by the ma-chine is 10 feet in length, width 10 feet,while the extreme height is 11 feet. It isscarcely necessary to add that the mate-rials are of the best, and with the recentimprovements in high-speed tool steels,the output of these fine machines will notlikely be surpassed in our time.
