CABLEWAYS 271 in cars from the mine to the loading station of the tramway,where it is weighed and transferred into a hopper andthen into the tramway buckets to be carried down themountainside and discharge into shaker screens located atthe tipple. Single Bucket System The single bucket system is a modification of the two-bucket system. But one bucket is used, which operatesback and forth on a single stationary track cable and iscontrolled by the endless traction cable. Power is neces-sary for the operation of this type of tramway and may Tiesupplied by a steam or gasoline engine or may be obtainedfrom an electric power line. The capacity of this type of tramway is considerably lessthan the two-bucket system. In another type of single-rope tramway, one rope servesas both the load carrying and the traction cable, thecarriers being attached to the rope at intervals as it movescontinuously in one direction. The cable passes around thelarge sheaves in the terminal stations and thus the loa
