NO. 2-rELFER SYSTEMS.

nv [-l6IFGn 81 GM0s
Observation-Disclosures systems con-
sist of motor driven carriages or troll
leys, under control of individual OPP
orators, running on an overhead mon
orail. Freight is handled by hosting
platforms loaded with goods from the
vessel or from the warehouse floor to
the proper clearance height by means
of the hosting motor on the trolley;
the load Of freight is then transport
ed along the monorail to its point of
destination, where it is lowered to the
warehouse floor or to the vessel, as
the case may be.
by having a number of trays or
platforms for each trolley, on which
the freight can be piled, the trolleys
may be kept busy moving loaded
trays between warehouse and vessel
| and returning the empties. The best
arrangement is to have the track or
monorail form closed loop, without
switches. This loop extending into the
warehouse and out over the vessel.
(The cantihver portion over the wat
er may be hinged to clear vessels).
BY this means, the trolley or trolieys
on each circuit move continuously IN
the same direction, SO that interior
ence between them is avoided.
GAS a matter of detail, the trolley
with large wheels running on a i
rail. supported on the top flange OF
| an Ibeam, is preferable to one Win
small wheels running on the bottom
| flange of an I-beam, for the reason
that the first named arrangement
permits Of higher speeds and freer
movement at the curves than the lat
ter.
Misunderstanding can be car
ried over surface obstruction, such as
railway cars, depressed tracks, etc;
Freight may be moved as far IN
shore as desired.
Movement of freight between YES
Sc, and warehouse can be made with
less expense for labor and trucking
than for conveying system.
THE operator is at all times d.
rectly over the load, thus 1nsuring
good control of the movement with
consequent saving of time.
"This system can handle practical
tlv all freight coming to the terminal
| up to the lifting capacity of the troll
Hey, say three tons.
"The trolley track may be housed
over. thus protecting the freight our.
| ing transit between warehouse and
vessel. :.
"Disadvantages-High cost OF In
stallation.
"The entire length of the circuit
must be covered by the trolley be
tween loads. thus requiring number
of trolleys to get the required ca
lpacity. n,.
Switches are heavy and difhcuit
to operate. (Where circuits can be
] arranged without switches the sys
Item is greatly improved.)
Each trolley requires an operator

proposition.
"Conclusions-We may conclude
from the above that the Teller system
| is best adapted to handling freight
| where a number of surface obstruc
tions have to be crossed or where sui
ficient tonnage OF freight has to be
transported a considerable distance
/, inshore.
Recommendations use OF the
| Teller system is recommended under
the above conditions. Under normal
conditions, l.. e., for comparatively
short movements between warehouse
and vessel, it is not to be recon
lmended. as its capacity under these

conditions is not as great as that of
conveyors, cranes or gantries.
NO 3-SToRAGE BATTERY
TRUCKS.
Prescription - Storage battery
trucks for warehouse work are built
in number of forms; a convenient
arrangement is that in which the body
Of the truck is so arranged that it
can be run under platform or tray
on which freight has been piled, raise
it just sufficiently to clear the floor,
and transport the trayload of freight
to it's point of destination; the re-
floor and releases the truck.
"F'or long hauls trailers are often
used to advantage, but for work
around dock warehouses the hauls are
usually too short and the working
space too CONSTRUCTED to make their
use advisable.
Storage battery trucks can only
be considered as an adjunct to other
systems, as they can only be used in
and around the warehouse where
there are no surface distractions and
where there is reasonably smooth
floor. Hand trucks for short hauls,
say up to IS feet, may also be used
! to advantage for shifting freight and
as an adjunct to other systems.
"Advantages-Can carry loads up
to 1000 pounds at speeds of about SIX
miles per hour.
Economical to MAINTAIN and oper-
ate.
Can be operated by common Ia
Dor, can enter box cars and other
CONSTRUCTED places and can ascend
steep grades.
"Disadvantaees-Ca be used only
in the warehouse or where there is a
reasonably smooth floor.
Cannot cross surface distractions.
other systems.
"Conclusions-We may conclude
from the above that storage battery
trucks are best adapted to work in
and around the warehouse. where
the hauls are about rs feet and over,
and that they can be used to the
best advantage for transporting tray
loads of freight to and from the 9TH
er handling units.
Recommendations The use o!
storage battery trucks is recon-
mended for use in and about the
warehouse, as outlined above, where
sufficient tonnage is handled to keep
them busy, and where the average
hauls exceed rs feet.
The use of trays, preferably
equipped with small wheels, is also
recommended in connection with
these trucks, for the economical
transfer of freight between the
trucks and the other handling units
The use of hand trucks for light
loads and short hauls is also recon-
mended.

MOVING PICTURE FEATURES

How a sensational newspaper re-
port prejudices the mind of the public
against a young trained nurse, who Is
placed on trial for murder, but who
is absolutely innocent of all wrong,
and how her future happiness is jeop-
ardized by what is supposed to have
been one false step, is said to be
shown in most gripping and enter
tanning manner in Public Opinion"
the Lasky photoplay in which Blanch
Sweet will be seen here today. An
unusual feature of the story is the
efforts of the spirit of the woman the
nurse is supposed to have poisoned, to
direct the hand of justice towards the
guilty person. Throughout the story,
until the murderer is finally forced to
confess, the spirit of the dead woman
tries to bring the guilty to justice.
Lasky's staff worked for four days
before they succeeded in taking one
scene in "Public Opinion" which ap-
pears on the screen for not more than
fifteen or twenty seconds. The prob
lem was to make the spirit of the MUIR
dered woman enter the court room to
guide the jurors, the district attorney
and the Judge in obtaining verdict
1t was necessary that the spirit of the
dead woman appear among the people
| in the court room. The scene was
gone over again and again until the
proper effect was obtained.
Tomorrow is the day for another
Keystone comedy, and as Sam Bern,
ard would say, Suficiency!" Bernard
will be seen in "The Great Pear
Tangle." Another installment of "The
Girl and the Game" will be seen to-
morrow also.
