Electric Crane Construction (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt From Electric Crane Construction This Book Is Based Chiey On Notes And Data Compiled By The Author In The Course Of His Work, And Is Intended Primarily As A Reference Book For Engineers Engaged In The Design And Construction Of Electric Cranes, And For Those Who Require To Instal, Test, And Use Them. It Is Hoped, However, That It Will Also Be Of Some Interest To Students, And That Some Of The Chapters, Such As Those On Structural Steelwork, Machinery, And Toothed Gear, Will Be Of Use To Engineers Engaged On Other Classes Of Work. The First Seven Chapters Each Deal With One Of The Principal Types Of Crane. Each Of These Chapters Commences With A Description Of The Construction And Duty Of The Crane, Not With The Idea Of Imparting Elementary Information, But As A Recapitulation Of The Purpose For Which The Crane Is Intended. The Stresses And Other Points Peculiar To The Type Of Crane Are Next Dealt With, And Then Drawings And Descriptions Of Typical Cranes Are Given, Test Figures Being Also Added In Several Cases. Points Common To All Forms Of Cranes Are Dealt With In The Succeeding Chapters And In A Final Chapter Crane Installations Are Discussed And Described. The Description Of The 160-Ton Revolving Cantilever Crane In Chapter Vi. Is Taken Partly From An Article In T He Engineer And Partly From Information Supplied To The Author By The Makers. Figures To Which An Asterisk Is Appended Are From Blocks Supplied By Engineering. About The Publisher Forgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books.
