Publisher's Synopsis

The Bleichert system of wire rope tramways is most com plete in all its appointments; it can be operated in any locality; it is well adapted to the transportation of all kinds of materials, and is especially recommended for heavy service, and where steep grades and long spans occur. Every detail has been thoroughly worked out and proved by actual practice. The materials used are of the strongest and best, and the workmanship first class in every respect. All parts of the machinery are made to standard gauges, so that repairs can be made promptly and cheaply. The general design is such as to make the action of the tramway as nearly automatic as can be, so that but little labor is required in the Operation of these lines. The cars can be raised or lowered at any terminal or intermediate station by our special hoists. From one level to another, or from one ?oor to another, in a warehouse or factory for instance, and upon arriving at the desired elevation or ?oor, can be conveyed by our suspended or shunt rails to any point for loading or unloading. Scales are furnished of special design for weighing the loaded cars or counters which will automatically register the number transported.
By means of specially designed cars the buckets can also be trans ferred from the hanging rail to surface tracks and taken directly to the working faces of the mine or quarry, as the case may be, brought back and sent over the line. Without re handling of the material.
