Section 11.—CHAINS AND LINKS.

For Hooks, Swivels, &c., see [Section 43].

[191]. Ordinary long or short link chain. It is sometimes made to exact pitch to fit a snug or sprocket wheel. See [Nos. 1250] & [1251].

[192]. Stud link chain.

[193]. Flat chain for use on flat rim double-flanged pulley.

[194]. Square link pitched chain for sprocket wheel.

[196]. Ordinary pitched link chain. Links drilled to templet.

[197] & [198]. Pitched chains to drive wheels with ordinary and special teeth.

[204] & [205]. Drive chains. See Ewart’s patent, No. 2752-76, and others. These chains are replacing belts for many purposes, as they give a positive drive, do not stretch so much, and last longer, besides which they are easily detached at any point, and a damaged link can be readily replaced.

[206] & [207]. Thrust chains, with friction rollers at each junction, used in hydraulic multiplying cylinder gear in some cases.

[208]. Ewart and Dodge’s patent chain, with renewable seatings between the links.
