the crab, the chain or rope is wound on and the load lifted, and by the motion of the carriage is transported to any place within the range of the rails. It is known as an overhead crane. The foundry-crane has a traversing carriage on the jib, which permits the point of suspension to be moved out or in from the central post; the range being from the outer end to the mid-length of the jib. The traversing-carriage is moved by an endless chain descending to the floor of the foundry. In Morrison's steam-crane, the crane-post forms the steam-cylinder, and is fitted with a piston having a flexible piston-rod of wire rope, which works steam-tight through a stuffing-box at the top, and passes over two pulleys, itself forming the chain for lifting the load. The downward stroke only of the piston is utilized in lifting, and the steam induction and eduction are governed by slide-valves operated by hand-levers. In Evans's steam-crane, a vertical boiler forms the crane-post and revolv

Condie made the piston stationary, the cylinder moving in guides. Morrison made the hammer of one long bar of wrought-iron, the piston being welded thereto, and forming pscends, which steam, thus condensed in bulk, re-expands in the up-stroke, economizing steam.
