Capabilities of 25-ton Cranes
Capabilities of 25-ton Cranes.
Your Engineer has given me an estimate of the capabilities of the 25-ton cranes for loading coal, taken from its performance on stone, from which it appears that each crane can load into ships about 100 tons per hour, at a cost, including crane expenses, attendance, shunting, interest and depreciation, of 2d per ton of coal loaded.
