the most powerful appliances of the
kind in the world. But the amount of
the fluid needed to make them operate
is surprisingly small 1t requires about
one-tenth the amount of force to charge
!. these magnates that it does to push an
ordinary trolly car along the street
They are horseshoe magnates with
poles seven and one-half inches apart.
At the upper end is a plate of soft steel.
The poles are ten inches long and the
upper seven and one-half inches are
wrapped with insulated copper wire.
The working Of the magnet is SIM
pie. When a plate or beam is lying
anywhere else than where it is wanted
the magnate, attached to the crane
tackle, in place of the ordinary sling
or hook, is lowered and it's poles placed
on the load to be moved as near the
centre as practicable. Then the cur
rent is turned on and the underlying
plate CT BEAM is held fast by the mag
netic attraction. The crane is then put
in motion in the usual manner and the
beam is transferred to the spot where
it is wanted. When it is fairly placed
in its new position the current switch
is turned off and the action of the mag
net ceases. The only reason why such
magnets have not been long in use is
because of the fear that the load would
drop if there was any temporary fail
ure of the current. This is always pos
sible, though it is becoming less so
every day with the improvement in
electrical apparatus.
To guard against accidents the insu-
lated coils are inclosed in water-tight
brass casing and the whole magnet is
covered in with half-inch sheet steel.
If these magnets prove success when
tested by time larger sizes will be en-
ployed. When used in connection with
electric cranes, which are now becom-
ing common, only two hand switches
will be required to move iron or steel
loads. OF course, loads of other ma
terials could be picked up equally we'll
by an electric magnet with heavy
keeper and hook attached to ii for the
ordinary sling.
