Description: |
| This winch "is more particularly designed for use on the deck of a ship where it is customary to have a number of winches which may all be in use simultaneously, but which are more usually operated one or two or more at a time; in such cases it is desired that the heads of winches not in use be stationary, and it is provided by my invention that the winch is normally non-operating and the brake applied, operation being secured by the movement of a lever and being checked automatically when the lever is released..." |
