Section 23.—CONVEYING MOTION TO MOVABLE PARTS OF MACHINERY.

(See also [p. 62].)

[2038]. Jointed tube for a travelling, hydraulic, steam, or compressed air, hoisting, or other engine.

[2039]. A travelling wheel may be driven by a long pinion without affecting the travelling movement of the wheel.

[2040]. Travelling spur gear similar to last, to convey continuous motion to a travelling machine.

Hydraulic transfer. Two rotary motors (hydraulic) are used, one as driver, the other as motor, and connected together by two pipes forming the suction and delivery pipes, by which a continuous circulation is kept up, and the motor driven by the driver, the latter being driven from a shaft or engine. The pipes may be taken a great distance, if made large enough.
