. Spons' dictionary of engineering, civil, mechanical, military, and naval; with technical terms in French, German, Italian, and Spanish . n the incline by the single tail rope to R,at which point the main rope, which is necessary to pull the set on to the kep, is attached. The drumman sometimes brings the set out of this way by the brake whilst the engine is working another gradient on the second west way is not heavy enough to allow this method to be adopted. On the No. 1 plane there are two stations by the side of the main way, to which sets aretaken several times during the day. One of these stations is in the cross-cut way and theother is in the second south way. When a set is intended for the station in the latter way,it is taken to L L, Fig. 3898, and there the ropes are knocked off; the full set stands at MM,and in order to get theropes to this point, a pieceof rope, the length of theset, is attached to the twoends, which are then pulledby the engine opposite to theends of the full set. Thuseight connections and dis-connections are necessary foreach set led from this sta-tion. The arrangement of the Stiition on Second ¡South Way. ¡Station on Ciosb-cut Way, station on the cross-cut way, which was made some time after the station just described, is muchbetter. Here, Fig. 8899, the way from X to Z is made to dip gently inbye, and when the empty 1852 HAULAGE. set is brought inbye both rope ends are knocked off at X X, and the set runs forward by itself toZ Z ; the ropes are then connected to the full set standing at Y Y. 3900.
