Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Design of Electric Overhead Cranes: Crabs, Gearing and Brake Mechanism
The introduction and development of the electric motor, which has revolutionized so many of the methods of manufacture and transporta tion, has, perhaps, in?uenced the design of no other single auxiliary apparatus in the productive industries more than that of cranes and hoists. The present treatise on the subject, therefore, has been written with the intention of placing on record the present practice in the design of overhead cranes, electrically operated, and of presenting such data as will aid the designer of such apparatus to properly calculate and proportion the various details, and supervise their construction.
