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.
