                                                        Allis's Hoisting-Engine.—Fig. 70 shows a hoisting-engine built by the E. P. Allis Co., of Milwaukee. The drum is driven by a pair of Reynolds girder-frame Corliss engines. They are fitted with improved brake and reversing-gear, etc. The conical rope drum is 18 ft. in diameter at the large end. 8 ft. at the small end, and 12 ft. 9 in. long. The cylinders are 16 in. diameter by 36 in. stroke. Engines of this style are built with different sizes of drums and cylinders to suit the requirements of different locations. |
