ELECTRIC ELEVATORS

The earliest application of the electric
motor to elevator machinery consisted in
operating an ordinary drum hoist by a
motor belted to it in the ordinary man.
ner. Probably one of the first elevators
thus operated in the United States was
at the Pemb erton mills at Lawrence,
Mass, in 1884. The writer also assisted
IN installing machine OF this kind at
the American Institute fair at New York
in 1887. The latter machine, which was
a fair sample of the electrically driven
belt hoist, consisted of Morse-Williams
belt-power screw hoist belted to counter
shaft which in turn was operated by
Sprasue electric motor, constantly runn-
ing, after being started by means OF an
ordinary pIotor starting box. The move.
ment of the car was controlled, as in any
power hoist, by means of hand rope.

machine, which was equipped with the
brake and safety devices com on in such
machines. The electric motor simply
took the place of any other power such
as steam. gas or water engine, ana
possessed the advantage of being more
Flexible and cleaner. and, perhaps, slight
y more efficient. but otherwise retained
all the disadvantages OF the ordinary
power hoist and therefore was not APP
plicable to high-cass passenger service.
The successful operation Of the electric
street car motor, with its direct gearing
to the car axel and reversiblity with fix
ed brushes, led to the rapid introduce
ton of sim liar motors to analogous uses,
and about 1858 the drect.geared electric
elevator, in which the motor shaft was
directly connected with the hosting
machine. and was started, stopped, reg.
ulated and run IN either direction from
the elevator car, first made its appearance.
Since that time various modi 6cations of
the hosting machinery. motor ana reg
ulating devices have been made and two
distinct types OF electric hosting me-
chanism have been commercially de-
veoped-the winding drum ma ,hine, in
which the hosting cables, attached to the
elevator car, are wound on drum
rotated by motor in either direction,
and the screw and sliding nut machine.
