PULLEY BLOCKS.


Lots Of Them Used on Land Nowadai
as Well ~ on the Ocean
Pulley blocks were formerly mad,
with a rope strap placed around th'
block on the outside. Now. IN wOodeA
blocks. the strap Is made OF iron. and
Is placed Inside tho shell. Many very
large blocks and great numbers Of
SNAIL ones are now made entirely Of
Iron. There are fewer deep-water ships
Than there were. their place having
been taken largely by steam vessels
ana therefore fewer blocks are required
10 supply the demand. but great num-
bers are required for the coasting fleets
and yachts. Within comparatively re-
vent years the use OF pulley blocks on
ana has increased enormously. 80 that
the aggregate consumption OF blocks
continues very large. Wooden blocks
are made most commonly with an ash
'hell AMI llgnun.-vitac fheaves: in
smaller and medium sized blocks the
she'll also Is sometimes made OF llg-
num-vitae. The use OF wire rope in
derrioks Is familiar. Wire halllArds are
now used 10 some extent on yachts. a.
well az wire standing rigging. and
where such halliards are used metal
sheayes are substituted for those Of
wood. The blocks Of a big heavily
SPARED steam yacht. say barkentins
rugged. might cost 81 800. On the great
number OF sallboats and small yachts
there are used many little blocks OF
galvanized iron. On shore there are
now used In cities immense numbers OF
little blocks for pulley lines for drying
clothes Such blocks are made OF iron
and Of wood In various styles: In a city
like New York hundreds OF thousands
OF such blocks are In use. The demand
for the very largest OF blocks Tor land
use has also grown within very recent
years such blocks are now used very
extensively on the heavy derrlch en-
ployed In the construction Of the tall
modern buildings Big blocks used on
derricks with Manila rope are made
with wooden shells and iron shoayes
blocks used with wire rope are an iron.
The use Of iron blocks Ia Increasing
