of115, which is usual for electric light

GIANT ELECTRIC MAGNET
LIFTS HEAVIEST FREIGHT

There have been big changes In the
methods OF handling unwieldly freight
since electric power came to the aid
OF the factory and foundry man. One
OF the most interesting examples Is
the giant lifting magnet. which IL
used to load and unload pig iron.
Pig iron 10 heavy and hard to han
die. II takes two men TO carry a
single pig and In moving car load to
the yard pile II Is q slow, heart-and'
ha nd breaking job and costly one.
That was the old way.
Today and electric hoisting magnet
is lowered over the car or barge, the
power is thrown on and the magne-
tism grabs and grips a whole ton at a
time. one pig hanging to another.
Then the derrick swings over, stops
above the yard pile. the current is
shut off and down drops the pigs.
When iron or steel Is handled in
large quantities, either in raw or I'm
ished form, this method effects an
enormous saving over the old system
and has performed many feats never
before possible. A large load OF
kegged nails was recently recovered
from the bottom of the Mississippi
river after havaing been lost in a
wreck. A similar rescue Of coiled
, wire from the Ohio river near Pitts
bughr Is another recent performance.
Industrial transportation. where
weights are heavy and the bulk un
wieldy is another problem which cleo
triciity Is solving with new efficiency.

tories. has been pronounced one OF

Perhaps the connection between
