Main (center of room ceiling) Line shaft with 5 pulleys and three clutches
The 12' long 1" diameter line shaft with three adjustable hangers is
mounted on a wood frame and can be used either overhead or on the floor
by inverting the bearing housings. Three of the five pulleys have
clutches. From left to right, the pulleys are 12"x3" iron with clutch,
9"x4" wooden split pulley, 3"x3" iron pulley with clutch, 12"x3" iron
fixed pulley, 3"x3" iron pulley with clutch. All three clutches work
smoothly and the Babbitt bearings are serviceable. The 1" shaft is actually 1-1/16 dia.
and is used for lighter duty machines like wood lathes and band saws and
is much lighter and easier to hang than larger shafts.
