An Enormous Magnet
scottish American.)


In an engineering shop in Paisley there
Is an electro-magnet capable OF picking
up load OF three TONS which is used 20
transfer iron or steel beams OF plates
from one part OF the shop 20 the other.
The magnet used ~ In the form OF tho
ola-fashioned horseshoe. The poles OF
tho horseshoe are seven inches apart, ana
are connected at the upper end by soft
steel plate one inch In thickness.
The working OF II Is very simple.
When q plate Is lying anywhere else
than where It Is wanted the magnet, at
tached to tho crane tackle In place OF the
ordinary sling or hook, IS lowered. and
its poles placed on tho load TO be moved,
as near the centre as Practicable. Then
tho current IS turned on. and the un-
DERIVING plato or beam Is held fast by the
magnetic attraction. The crane IL then
put into motion In the usual manner.
and tho plato Is now transferred 10 thu
spot where 1t Is wanted and the cur
rent switched or.
The only reason why such magnet have
not been long in use II because Of tha
fear that tho load would drop II there
was any temporary failing OF the cur
rent. This is always possible. though tt
Is becoming less SO every day with the
later improvements In electrical appasa-
