Excerpt from An Elementary Treatise on Hoisting Machinery: Including the Elements of Crane Construction and Descriptions of the Various Types of Cranes in Use
In an elementary work of this Character it is not possible to enter into calculations, but the mode of treatment must be restricted to the description of practical details and of types in actual service from the point of View of the practical man, whether crane maker or user. All crane calculations are applications of the principles and problems laid down in many text-books of statics, to which reference can be made. We will indicate briefly the nature of the problems, and then go on to the practical work of the book.
