One of the pits isserved by a pneumatic hoist for car-rying motors and motor shells alongits entire length, while armaturesare handled by a hand-operated chain hoist. Planshave been completed for an air-operated traveling crane totransfer car bodies and trucks from one track to jacks are now used for lifting car bodies torelease the trucks. Two lo-hp air compressors, feeding acylindrical tank of 125 cu. ft. capacity, furnish power forthe hoists and jacks, as well as for car cleaning
