Hoisting Appliances by International Correspondence Schools
"Hoisting Appliances" by I.C.S. Staff is a technical publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the mechanics and design of various lifting and hoisting devices used in industries such as mining and construction. The book provides detailed explanations and illustrations of components, as well as specifications and uses for various hoisting systems. The opening of this publication outlines the use of hoist indicators, which are crucial devices for
showing the position of cages or skips in vertical shafts during hoisting operations. It discusses different types of indicators, such as column and dial indicators, and emphasizes their importance for safety and accuracy. The text describes the mechanical aspects of the indicators, including how they work and their reliability, and leads into subsequent sections that will cover additional hoisting apparatus like drums, reels, and braking systems. The technical language and detailed explanations suggest that this book is aimed at professionals or students in engineering or industrial operations who are looking for in-depth knowledge on hoisting appliances.
