THE HOIST 
 
 T HE G & G HOIST is sturdy and dependable. It is designed 
 for economical and efficient raising and lowering of light loads 
 (approximately 500 lbs.) at industrial plants and for the removal 
 of ashes and rubbish from all types of buildings. 
 
 The illustration shows our Model E, elec¬ 
 trically operated, telescopic Hoist spec¬ 
 ially adapted for use in industrial plants. 
 This Hoist raises loads of 500 lbs to grade 
 level at a speed of 60 feet per minute. 
 That part of Hoist shown telescopes be¬ 
 low grade level. 
 
 Model E Hoist is equipped with a 1 Yl h.p. 
 motor, totally enclosed (series wound for 
 direct current; squirrel cage for alternat¬ 
 ing current), and has graphite-filled oil¬ 
 less bronze bearings. 
 
 The Hoist is also equipped with an auto¬ 
 matic upper limit and lowers by gravity — 
 thus consuming only half the usual amount 
 of current and permitting a very rapid 
 lowering speed. 
 
 A single handle controls lowering and 
 raising operations and should the oper¬ 
 ator’s hand be removed from the lever, 
 the brake is automatically applied and 
 the load comes to an instant stop. 
 
 Steel cable used is “ non - rotating ” which 
 eliminates the twisting and additional 
 stress common to the ordinary type of 
 cable. Cable drum is grooved and gears 
 are machine cut throughout. 
 
 No part of Hoist has a factor of safety 
 less than 8, based on the ultimate strength 
 of the material when a load o f 500 lbs. 
 is raised.

Why It Saves Labor 
 
 Showing how ONE MAN, unaided, 
 can “hook" and raise filled G & G 
 Swing Bail Cans without leaving grade. 
 
 T HE G & G MODEL E HOIST not 
 
 only provides a safe and dependable 
 method of raising and lowering lighter 
 loads at industrial plants but it is also 
 a great saver of labor. A G & G Hoist 
 will pay for itself—in a comparatively 
 short time—in the money saved through 
 its use. 
 
 The Model E Hoist is so simple in con¬ 
 struction and operation that the average 
 laborer can readily understand and op¬ 
 erate it. It is practically “fool-proof.” 
 Its automatic upper limit feature guards 
 against raising the load too high. Should 
 the operator’s attention be distracted and 
 his hand removed from lever, brake is 
 automatically applied and load comes to 
 an instant stop. 
 
 It is suggested that G & G patent 
 swing bail cans be used as contain¬ 
 ers wherever possible. They are 
 especially constructed for heavy 
 duty and the operation of this 
 model is, by these cans, made a 
 one-man job (see illustration 
 above). 
 
 Owing to the small area necessary 
 for the hoistway (preferably 4 ft. 
 square, though this may be re¬ 
 duced or enlarged to meet special 
 conditions) the G & G Hoist can 
 be located at strategic points in 
 an industrial plant where it would 
 be impractical or impossible to in¬ 
 stall a larger lift or hoist. The 
 G & G Hoist thus provides a most 
 direct connecting link between de¬ 
 partments—speeds up production 
 and saves an endless amount of truck¬ 
 ing labor. 
 
 Showing operation of G & G Door Opening and 
 Closing Device—in this case adapted to a Model 
 A Hoist but which can be used with ALL 
 MODELS of G & G Hoists. Device operates 
 automatically when Telescoping Handle is re¬ 
 volved. Checkered Steel or Vault Light Doors 
 open and lock and close and lock as Hoisting 
 Head is raised or lowered. Spring Guard Gates 
 —WHICH SWING OUTWARD ONLY—auto¬ 
 matically close up opening at grade level be- 
 tween the opened doors.

Where the Need Exists 
 
 T HERE are hundreds of situations in 
 industrial circles where the installation 
 of G & G Hoists will reduce the number of 
 men employed in raising and lowering of 
 loads—and in saving days of labor in the 
 
 aggregate-by speeding up the handling 
 
 of materials by direct motion transfer. 
 
 The range of usefulness cf a G & G Hoist in 
 industrial plants is almost unlimited. There is 
 a definite need for a G & G Hoist wherever 
 quick, safe, dependable and economical raising 
 and lowering of lighter loads is necessary or de¬ 
 sirable and, therefore, it may be said that a 
 
 G & Q Hoist is needed in every) modern industrial 
 plant. 
 
 G & G Hoists can be easily installed in old or 
 new buildings on any floor or in boiler room 
 where there is an opening preferably 4 ft. 
 square. 
 
 Complete G & G equipment includes G & G 
 doors (checked steel or vault light) ; G & G 
 patent spring guard gates; automatic door open¬ 
 ing and closing device; electric warning gong; 
 operator’s ladder; G & G patent swing bail cans 
 and can truck, which should be installed as a 
 unit for efficient operation. Doors open and 
 lock, close and lock automatically by operation 
 of telescoping handle. 
 
 The G & G Hoist is especially valuable in 
 the quick and economical raising and low¬ 
 ering of Ashes, Bags, Bales, Barrels, Bas¬ 
 kets, Boxes, Cans, Carboys, Ice, parts of 
 finished and unfinished Machinery, Rub¬ 
 bish, Tires, Trays, etc., and other loads 
 within its scope.

And Its Performance Record 
 
 G & G HOISTS are saving time 
 and money in many types of in¬ 
 dustrial and commercial buildings— 
 and in many different ways— every¬ 
 where. 
 
 The Packard Motor Car plant in¬ 
 stalled two G & G Hoists the latter 
 part of 1918 for use in connection 
 with their core ovens. Since that 
 time two additional hoists have been 
 ordered— without solicitation. 
 
 The Kelly-Springfield Tire Co. uses 
 a G & G Hoist for the direct transfer 
 of tires to and from their New York 
 City storage. The Norwalk Tire & 
 Rubber Co. uses a G & G Hoist for 
 transferring pans of rubber between 
 floors. 
 
 C & G Hoists are daily proving their efficiency at manufacturing plants 
 and service stations of the Willys-Overland Co.; Ford Motor Co.; 
 Canton Motor Co.; Lang Motor Truck 
 Co. and other automotive companies. 
 
 The Riches-Piver Co.-manufacturing chem¬ 
 
 ists—use a G & G Hoist at their Lyons Farms, 
 
 New Jersey, plant for raising and lowering 
 barrels, boxes, carboys, etc. 
 
 S. Kann’s Sons-one of Washington City’s 
 
 leading department stores-use a G & G 
 
 Hoist for the quick and quiet removal of 
 ashes and rubbish and raising and lowering 
 light loads. 
 
 Scores of railroads-including the Chicago, 
 
 Milwaukee & St. Paul; Pennsylvania L'nes 
 (East and West); Canadian Pacific; Union 
 Pacific; Rock Island Lines; Southern Railway; 
 
 New York Central Lines; Central R.R. of 
 New Jersey; Chicago & Northwestern; Chi¬ 
 cago, Burlington & Quincy; Alabama Great 
 Southern; Canadian Northern; Illinois Central 
 
 and many others-are saving money and time 
 
 in their lowering and lifting jobs at many 
 types of buildings through the use of G & G 
 Hoists.

Other Models Too 
 
 IN ADDITION to the Model E, electri- 
 * cally operated, G & G Hoist described 
 on page 2 (also illustrated on this page) 
 there are four other standard models.

 Overhead Crane (illustrated on this page) 
 operates electrically. Upper part of Hoist 
 telescopes below grade when not in use.

 The Model D Hoist raises a load of 300 
 lbs. at a speed of 60 ft. per minute and 
 is designed for use where it is desired to 
 raise loads 6 or 7 ft. above grade and 
 as much, as 3 ft. away from hoistway. 
 
 The Model B, Telescopic Hoist, with 
 Overhead Crane (illustrated on page 7) 
 operates manually. The upper part of 
 Hoist telescopes below grade when not 
 in use. Built to raise loads of 300 lbs. 
 at a speed of 30 ft. per minute but its 
 capacity can be increased—by guy rods 
 running from top of Hoist to building 
 wall—to 500 lbs. Both the telescoping 
 and the hoisting handle act upon com¬ 
 pound gears and the pressure exerted 
 upon the hoisting handle in raising the 
 load is only 7 lbs. for each 100 lbs. of 
 weight. Hoisting handle does not re¬ 
 
 volve when brake is used to lower load. 
 This not only makes it possible to lowe~ 
 rapidly but protects operator from pos¬ 
 sible injury.

Other Models Too ( Cont .) 
 
 The steel cable used on G & G Hoists is non- 
 rotating” which eliminates the twisting and addi¬ 
 tional stress common to the ordinary type of 
 cable. Cable drum is grooved and gears are 
 machine cut throughout. 
 
 All manually operated Hoists are equipped with 
 a patented "silencer" which makes them practi¬ 
 cally noiseless in operation Lubrication is ef¬ 
 fected by a simple but efficient method. 
 
 The Model C, Telescopic Hoist (illustrated on 
 this page) operates electrically. This model is 
 
 identical with Model D- except that it raises loads 
 
 to grade level onI\). 
 
 The Model A Telescopic Hoist (illustrated on 
 page 3 ) operates manually. This model is so 
 designed that it is practical for one man to per¬ 
 form the entire operation of raising and lower¬ 
 ing loads when a G & G Swing Bail Can is used. 
 The Model A Hoist will raise a load of 500 lbs. 
 at a speed of 30 ft. per minute, requiring a 
 pressure of 
 only 7 lbs. for 
 each I 00 lbs. 
 of weight.
