Intended for lowering a body into a
SHAFT or incline, the revolution OF the
drum Il regulated by . brake arrang-
ed handy to tho man attending to the
bucket. Another brake governs the
gearing OF the drum to tho shaft by
means OF q clutch. When II Is desired
to hoist, the clutch Is connected, the
brake thrown Off aud the horsepower

being hoisted has reached the surface,
the clutch Is dlssngagsd, aud tho shaft
may revolve until the horse stops,
without affecting the drum. When It
