 Gravity Bucket Carriers 
 
 Consisting of a continuous series of buckets pivotaily suspended 
 between two endless chains, represent the highest development 
 of the conveying art. As the buckets at all times maintain 
 their carrying position by gravity, a single Carrier can transport 
 material horizontally, vertically and again horizontally, or in any 
 desired path. 
 
 These Carriers have the Following 
 Advantages : 
 
 1. The material is carried and the buckets are supported by rollers. 
 
 Destructive friction and injury to the material itself is 
 therefore eliminated, and the power required for operation 
 reduced to the minimum. 
 
 2. The ability of the one machine to elevate and convey avoids 
 
 transfers, which are ahva>'s troublesome, take up valuable 
 space and necessitate deep pits. The dri\'ing connections 
 are also correspondingly simplified. 
 
 3. The material is readily discharged at any desired point. 
 
 4. Their operation is silent, and as they are run at slow speed 
 
 there is no vibration. 
 
 The Peck Carrier is the highest development of this type of 
 conveyor — m its inherent design, details of construction and 
 accuracy of workmanship. 
 
 Construction 
 
 The earliest Gravity Carriers merely had the buckets hung 
 as close together as practicable, to prevent material as delivered 
 to them, from falling between; but even when an actual contact 
 existed initially, the natural wear and elongation of the chains 
 caused an increasing separation, permitting the sifting of material 
 between the buckets, so that, in the aggregate of a day's run, 
 this amounted to a large quantity of material that had to be 
 cleaned up. 
 
 A great many devices have been tried to overcome this 
 difficulty: some ingenious, many complicated and cumbersome, 
 most of them abandoned after a few installations; and all failures 
 as compared with the one simple, obvious and entirely successful 
 plan of using overlapping lips on the buckets. The advantage 
 of this lip is now generally recognized as an essential feature of 
 modern installations.

 The use of the overlapping hp, however, introduces a 
 mechanical difficulty illustrated in the accompan}'inp; 
 diagram. 
 
 In following the course of the buckets 
 it will be seen that their natural position 
 on the lower run is with the rear of each 
 bucket overlapped by its follower. As it 
 starts to ascend, its rear end therefore 
 cannot get free; it cannot maintain its 
 upright position, and its load would be 
 spilled. 
 
 m 
 
 Natural Lap 
 
 The difficulty may be overcome by the use of special 
 mechanism, exterior to the Carrier itself, which tilts 
 the buckets before they enter the lower run, and reverses 
 the natural lap. 
 
 A'leans must then be used to hold 
 
 them securely in this position so that 
 
 they ma\' be free to ascend without 
 interlocking.

 1 he Peck Carrier is so constructed that the ob- 
 jection just described does not exist; and its construc- 
 tion IS as tar in advance of other ox'erhipping Carriers 
 as these were over the "close contact bucket" type. 
 
 The buckets are suspended from exten- 
 sions ot the inner hnks be\'ond the chain 
 joints, so that in passing around the corner 
 wheels they travel on a larger circle than 
 the chains, as will be seen from the diagram. 
 They are thus automaticall}' separated at 
 the turns, and as no 
 overlap exists at these 
 points, it is immaterial 
 which way the buckets 
 are lapped along the 
 ower run. 
 
 Natural Lap 
 
 This is the only overlapping Carrier in which, 
 through its entire path, the buckets can always 
 maintain their carrying position by gravity, It is 
 the only one in which a fully loaded bucket can 
 make a complete circuit without discharging. 
 
 In all others the buckets after discharging have to 
 be manipulated by special mechanism to correct the 
 direction of overlap.

 The same correct principles will be

 Buckets. These are one-piece malleable 
 castings, smooth and of uniform pitch. The 
 overlapping lips are A shaped, so that they will 
 not carry material and spill it at the turns. 
 
 Chain. We are the largest manufacturers 
 of malleable iron chains in the world. The 
 Carrier chains are made of malleable iron, 
 because it resists the corrosive action of wet 
 coal and wet ashes better than steel, and because 
 the wide seat for the ends of the bushings and 
 pins cannot be obtained in a link of bar steel 
 without useless weight in the body of the link.

 Supports. The Peck 
 Carrier runs on T-rails 
 supported by cast-iron 
 chairs set on the floor 
 along the lower run 
 and spaced six feet 
 apart. The chairs on the 
 upper run rest on channel 
 irons, extended for walk- 
 way. The upper chairs 
 also carry rails over which 
 the Discharger travels, as 
 shown. The lower run 
 chairs provide ample 
 clearance beneath the 
 buckets, to guard 
 against any interference 
 
 with them. The vertical runs are prevented from any swaying by 
 T-rail guides, in front and back of the rollers, yoked by cast chairs 
 
 for attaching to wall or steel frame. 
 
 Guards. The entire lower run is 
 usually protected by wide steel guards 
 which cover the chains and insure 
 delivery of material into the center of 
 the buckets without spilling.

 Discharger in Operation 
 
 Discharger. This engages the cams on the sides of the buckets. 
 The form of the discharger-tracks and bucket cams is such that 
 the contact is a roUing one, without friction or noise. 
 
 We furnish Fixed Dischargers which ma\- be dropped to inop- 
 erative position; Movable Dischargers that may be set by means 
 of a hand-winch, located conveniently to operate at any desired 
 point; and Automatic Dischargers which h;ive a slow, continuous 
 travel, autom:itically reversing at the ends ot the path. 
 
 Wheels. These 
 are >FLINT-R|M-< 
 
 (See page 112), and 
 engage with the chain 
 rollers. \\'e invari- 
 ably use wheels at 
 the upper corners and, 
 where space permits, 
 at the lower corners. 
 
 Corners. Suitable 
 cast pedestals are fur- 
 nished for the Corners, 
 as shown h\ accom- 
 panying illustrations. 
 
 The Driving Cor- 
 ner IS entireh' self- 
 contamed and fitted m 
 our factory; the motor, 
 when used, being 
 mounted directly on 
 it, usually with Link- 
 Belt Silent Chain drive 
 to counter-shaft.

 Hand-operated Winch for Moving the Discharger 
 
 Winches. The above illustration shows our standard hand 
 winch, which controls the position of the Movable Discharger. 
 When pawl is released, the rope unwinds as the carrier pushes 
 the disharger along the tracks. To reverse the direction, rope is 
 wound on drum by hand wheel; and ratchet and pawl hold the 
 discharger at desired stopping point. 
 
 Equalizing Gears. The 
 head shaft is regularly fitted 
 with a set of equalizing 
 gears. With chains of long 
 pitch the variations of the 
 diameter of the polygonal 
 sprocket wheel impart a pul- 
 sating or jerk}' motion to the 
 chains, greatly increasing the 
 strains upon them unless 
 counteracted by such a device. 
 This transmission consists 
 of a wave line (exaggerated 
 in the cut) spur gear and 
 eccentric pinion, the number of elevations and depressions 
 of the spur wheel equaling the number of teeth in the conveyor 
 wheel. The pulsating motion imparted by these gears exactly 
 counteracts the variations of chain speed and eliminates the 
 destructive strain set up by the constant accelerations and 
 retardations that would result from use of circular gears.

 Diagrammatic view of Chain Joint 
 
 The chain joint is a most essential feature. 4-34-2 
 The bushings are forced into and held securely as 
 integral parts of the inner links ; the pins, in the outer links. All 
 movement, therefore, at the corners takes place between the pins 
 and bushings, which afford a long bearing surface and are readily 
 renewable. No wear comes on the links themselves to destroy 
 them or impair their strength. The rollers turn on the bushings, 
 which are case-hardened on both outer and 
 inner surface. 
 
 >FLINT-RIM-< Self-Oiling Roller 
 
 All our Rollers are made of car-wheel iron, with 
 >FLINT-RIM< tread, and are hollow, forming a reservoir for 
 oil, which is introduced through a "Bennett" spring oiler, by a 
 syringe furnished for the purpose. The feature which makes the 
 roller truly self-oiling is the felt ring in the bore, which prevents the 
 oil from all escaping in a few hours, as in most hollow or waste-filled 
 rollers, but which supplies it slowly and uniformly to the surface 
 to be lubricated. Vanes are provided in the oil chamber to 
 splash the oil on the felt washer, and an oil hole to feed oil to 
 the slot in bushing for lubrication between pin and bushing.

 Caution 
 
 As the result of many years' observation and 
 experience, we offer the following sufjgestions to 
 engineers, and purchasers of Carriers: 
 
 I^on V use steel chains or buckets for handling ashes 
 — they will not prove durable, on account of corrosion. 
 
 Don't assume that the rollers are chilled because 
 they have been cast in a chill and have the appear- 
 ance. Break one and see. 
 
 Don't use chilled rollers and ordinary cast-iron 
 sprocket wheels. If the wheels are not chilled the 
 hard rollers will soon cut them out. 
 
 Don't believe that a roller with a hollow chamber 
 containing more or less cotton or wofil waste is trul\' 
 "self-oiling"; in a large proportion of such rollers all 
 the oil escapes in an hour, and the roller then runs 
 unlubncated. 
 
 Don't use curves on the upper corners. The^- will 
 require frequent renewal, and even when of large radius 
 take more power and very greatly increase the wear 
 of the rollers both on the tread and in the bore. 
 
 Don't use a Carrier without ctoss-rods between the 
 chains. The weight of the buckets and load will cause 
 the chains to tilt inwatdly, and the rollers will bear on 
 the inside corner of the rails instead of on the tread. 
 
 P a f. c T u- e I V . 
 
Umlk-McBlit (D^mupMimy 
 
 Caution 
 
 Do// t use chains without bushed joints. The 
 insufficient bearing in the ends of the links will soon 
 cut them out as well as the pins. The rollers also 
 will wear the pins, and the first warning is usually 
 a breakdown. 
 
 Do//'t be satisfied with one or two small drilled 
 holes in the bushing for admitting oil between the pin 
 and the bushing. These holes immediately fill up with 
 dust, and the chain joint remains unlubricated. A 
 long slot must be provided in the bushing to insure 
 lubricant getting into the chain joint. 
 
 Do// V be persuaded that some device over the con- 
 tact of the buckets is "just as good" as an actual 
 overlap. None has stood the test of long service nor 
 has had an\' wide use. 
 
 Do//'t accept a nominal overlap; it should be at 
 least an inch to be effective. 
 
 Do/l't have less clearance beneath the bucket than 
 will allow it to make a complete revolution. 
 
 Do// V receive a chain "knocked down." The pins 
 and bushings should fit tightly in the links, and should 
 be pressed in at the factory. 
 
 Do//'t let first cost govern wholly; a good Carrier— 
 which will probably not be the cheapest initially— 
 should, under ordinary conditions, cost little or nothing 
 for repairs for five years.

 Peck Carrier 
 
 Handling Coal and Ashes in a Boiler House 
 
 Power Plants 
 
 The Peck Carrier is the recognized standard means of handl- 
 ing coal and ashes in the modern boiler house. 
 
 Plate 3069 shows the tvpical arrangement in the majority 
 of installations. 
 
 The coal, received from cars or wagons in track hopper, is 
 fed at a regular and uniform rate by means ot an apron or recip- 
 rocating feeder, directly to the lower run of the Carrier, or through 
 a crusher to the Carrier if the coal is of large size. The Carrier 
 elevates it and deposits it in over-head bins (A), from which it is 
 drawn as required to the furnaces. 
 
 The ashes are drawn from the pits beneath the boilers into the 
 lower run of the Carrier, and elevated by it to an overhead bin 
 (B), from which they may be drawn, when convenient, to cars or 
 wagons.

 Peck Carrier Spanning R. R. Track 
 
 The illustration shows the Peck Carrier equipment, of the 
 Celluloid Co., Newark N. J. showing, in outline, path of the Car- 
 rier, and photograph of where it spans the railroad track and 
 driveway, paralleling the front of the power house. The views 
 also show concrete-steel ashes bin. 
 
 The total length of this Carrier is 550 feet and the buckets 
 are 24"xl8", this giving a capacity, at the usual speed of 40 feet 
 per minute, of 40 tons per hour. 
 
 The coal is delivered from the tracks in foreground, and passes 
 successively through concrete scale-hopper, reciprocating feeder 
 and crusher, before passing into the Carrier. 
 
 This equipment was installed in 1908.

 Cement Plants 
 
 The Peck Carrier is rapidl}' supplanting the older com- 
 binations of belt or screw conve\'ors and elevators for the more 
 important duties in cement mills. Constructed as it is, with 
 relativel}' few wearing parts and these of the best design to resist 
 wear, the cost of maintenance and power is far less than with the 
 types of conveyors replaced; but ot even greater importance is 
 its reliability and freedom from stoppages which are always 
 serious in a continuous process like the manufacture of cement. 
 In this feature ot reliabilit\', the Peck Carrier is unrivaled. It 
 is extensiveh" used and is in increasing demand for handling 
 raw cement-rock, hot and cold clinker and finished cement. 
 
 We believe it will be but a short time before the use of this 
 Carrier for all but very short conveyors — and in all cases where 
 material has to be both conveyed and elevated — will be universal. 
 
 While the standard construction meets the needs in most 
 cases, special features, particularly' desirable in cement mills, have 
 been developed for facilitating repairs and still further reducing 
 maintenance charges. 
 
 These Carriers are in operation in the mills of the —

 Cement Clinker Storage 
 
 The above view and those on following page, show the Peck 
 Carrier handhng chnker at the mill ot the Chicago Portland 
 Cement Company, Oglesb}-, 111. 1 he advantage of making the 
 burning and grinding departments, to a considerable degree, 
 independent ot each other, is apparent, and ma\' be readily 
 accomplished b\' carrvmg a considerable amount of clinker in 
 storage. \\ ith provision tor this storage the mills rmw be stopped 
 temporanh' without shutting down the kilns, or some or all of 
 the kilns ma\' be out ot ser\ice while the mills are operating at 
 full capacit)' with chnker drawn trom storage. The clinker 
 itself is also improved and more readily ground after storing for 
 a period of time. 
 
 The Carrier shown abo\e receives the hot clinker directly 
 from the kilns on its lower run, elevates it and deposits it in the 
 storage yard beneath, shown in the illustration, or if desired, 
 directly in the mill building. The clinker may be drawn from 
 storage into the lower run ot the Carrier, elevated and conve^'ed 
 to the mills. 
 
 The length necessar}', approximate!)- 900 feet, the high lift, 
 the intense heat of the clinker and its abrasiveness when cold, 
 together with the fact that this Carrier operates 24 hours daily, 
 make one of the severest possible tests of a conveyor. No other 
 type would perform such exacting service successfully. 
 
 In use since 1905.

 Anthracite Coal 
 
 Aside from its lower maintenance cost and other advantages 
 to which attention has been drawn, the Peck Carrier has one 
 quahfication which fits it preeminently for the handling ot anth- 
 racite coal — at the mines, in storage plants and in wholesale and 
 retail 3''ards; viz., the coal may be handled with the least possible 
 breakage. The importance ot this is fully realized by shippers. 
 
 1. The coal ma\' be put directh' into the Carrier buckets with 
 the least possible drop. 
 
 2. It IS elevated without an^' intermediate transfer. 
 3 It ma\- be discharged at any desired point. 
 
 4. It is carried without disturbance between the desired points. 
 
 5. The Carrier runs at slow speed and the coal is not broken 
 b\- impact.

 Feeders 
 
 The most satistactory uperation, together with the maximum 
 capacity and highest efficiency of conveying machinery, is assured 
 hy the use of automatic feeders. The entire contents of car or 
 wagon ma}- he dumped at once into receiving hopper, and where 
 equipped with proper feeder the flow from this hopper is entirely 
 independent of the amount of material in it. or of the size of 
 opening from which the material escapes. 
 
 While we manufacture several t\pes of feeders, two are most 
 generally applicable, as illustrated. 
 
 The Apron Feeder 
 
 The Apron Feeder (shown on opposite page) is simpl\' a steel 
 belt conve\'or, and is used where the coal has to be carried some 
 little distance from the hopper. Advantage may be taken of this 
 also to gain something in height by inclining the conveyor as 
 shown in the illustration. The amount of material drawn from 
 the hopper by it is perfectly uniform and dependent on the size 
 of the opening and the speed of travel of the feeder. 
 
 The Reciprocating Feeder 
 
 The Reciprocating Feeder which is used where the Carrier 
 is immediately adjacent to the track-hopper, consists of a recipro- 
 cating plate beneath the hopper, and actuated by an eccentric. 
 On its forward stroke the plate carries the material with it as it 
 flows from the hopper, and on its backward stroke it is withdrawn 
 from under a certain portion of this material, which falls into 
 the Carrier. It will be seen therefore that the capacity can be 
 controlled by the rapidity of movement of this plate and by the 
 length of its stroke, and is entirely independent of the opening 
 in the hopper, which is always made of such size as to permit a 
 ready flow of the largest pieces.

 Link-Belt Coal Crushers 
 
 Crushers are an es- 
 sential part of the coal 
 handling equipment of 
 the modern power 
 house. Even where 
 small coal is regularly 
 received, the Crusher is 
 essential as a safe-guard 
 against emergencies, 
 which may force the 
 receipts for a time of 
 mine run coal. 
 
 Reciprocating Feeder 
 
 delivering from Hopper to Crusher 
 
 We make a wide range of styles and sizes of these machines, 
 to meet all of the conditions of crushing coal, coke or kindred 
 materials. Our standard power house Crushers are arranged 
 with adjustment of bearings sufficient to separate the rolls 
 entireh' and let coal flow through without crushing, when desired. 
 
 For satisfactory operation, 
 the material should be 
 uniformly supplied to the 
 Crushers by one of our 
 Feeders.

 Link-Belt Crane Unloading Barges at Wharf 
 
 Storage of Coal by Locomotive Crane 
 
 Special Catalog on request. 
 
 The practice of carrying a considerable storage of coal adja- 
 cent to power plants as a precaution against emergencies is 
 becoming very general. The Locomotive Crane makes this 
 possible with a very small initial OLitla\' and at a low cost of 
 handling the coal, both into and from storage. 
 
 We have manufactured and installed Revolving Locomotive 
 Cranes in large numbers, in connection with our coal storage 
 work, for the past fifteen years. 
 
 They have been designed throughout for this work, the hardest 
 and most continuous service to which cranes of this type are 
 subjected, and which therefore calls for the highest degree of 
 efficiency, durability and ease of operation. 
 
 We believe our cranes are exceptional m this respect, as most 
 of the others on the market have been designed primarily for 
 industrial service, which is much less exacting.

 Parallel Track System of Coal Storage 
 
 This system employs two parallel trestles of moderate eleva- 
 tion, say 10 feet to IS feet, and about 30 feet apart, so that a 
 standard gauge crane on one trestle can lift coal from cars on the 
 adjoining trestle. The Crane may work on either trestle, load, 
 mg or unloading coal on adjoinmg trestle. 
 
 Where ground space permits, the trestle may be dispensed 
 with altogether and the tracks laid on the ground. Where 
 larger quantities of coal are stored, additional tracks may be 
 utilized in a similar manner, and irregular or otherwise useless 
 yard areas may often be advantageously used for coal storage. 
 
 As the Crane will easii}' handle eight loaded cars on a level 
 track, or a smaller number on grades, it serves the purpose of 
 a switching locomotive. 
 
 When not required for handling coal, a lifting block, or 
 magnet, may be substituted for the grab bucket, and the Crane 
 used for ordinary industrial purposes. 
 
 Our Cranes are steam or electrically operated.

 Circular Storage System 
 
 This system is suitable for capacities of from 6,000 to 40,000 
 tons. The Crane travels on a circular track around a central 
 track hopper, into which coal is dumped from radroad cars. 
 The coal is taken from this pit by the grab-bucket, and deliver- 
 ed to the storage pile, which, when full, assumes the outlme 
 shown in the plan. 
 
 When the pile is full the circular track is completely covered. 
 By continuing the track system, and building more pits, a suc- 
 cession of storage piles can be formed with a single crane. 
 
 When reloading, the coal is taken from the pile by the grab 
 bucket, and is delivered directly into cars or carts. 
 
 This system has a capacity of from 40 to 100 tons an hour 
 according to the size of bucket and crane employed. 1 he length 
 of the boom depends upon the storage capacity required. 
 
 This IS the cheapest storage system for large bodies of bitum- 
 inous coal, and combines a low cost of handling with low invest- 
 ment cost.

 Link-Belt Conveyor Type Car Unloader 
 
 Car Unloaders 
 
 Increase the convenience and rapidity of unloading coal. 
 They are low in first cost. 
 
 A vet}- large amount of the coal consumed in industrial estab- 
 lishments, particularly in the Middle and Western states, is 
 received in flat bottom gondola cars, from which it has to be 
 shoveled at much annual expense. To reduce materiall}' this 
 item, and at the same time greatly increase the convenience and 
 rapidity of unloading, we manufacture three t\'pes of unloading 
 machines; 
 
 First — The Hinged-Conve^or (illustrated) , or the 
 Bucket-Elevator type. 
 
 Second — The Telpher equipped with selt-filling 
 clam-shell bucket. 
 
 Third — The Revolving Locomotive Crane with 
 self-filling clam-shell bucket. 
 
 The Elevator and Conve>'or Unloaders are comparatively 
 low in initial cost, and are a most profitable investment as an 
 adjunct to the power house Carrier where the coal is merely 
 unloaded and taken directly to the bunkers. 
 
 Where it is desirable to store a certain proportion of the coal 
 adjacent to the power plant, the Locomotive Crane is usually 
 employed; and the Telpher may be most advantageously used 
 for unloading coal at a distance from the power house, or for 
 storing it at some point not immediately adjacent.

 Sprocket Wheels, Rollers and Truck Wheels for 
 Conveyors, Carriers, Trucks and Cars 
 
 1 hese wheels are made by a special process, perfected by us 
 after many years of investigation and experience. They give a 
 hard, smooth bearing surface, free from sand. This surface 
 extends to a depth of '4 -inch to >^-inch and prolongs the life of 
 the wheel far beyond that of ordinar\' cast iron. The life of 
 sprocket wheels made by the ^ FLINT-RIM^ process is pro- 
 longed because it not only insures but maintains the correct 
 diameter and pitch.
