The usual practice here and abroad is five or six stories. The most approved hoisting or elevating machinery is not the usual lift or elevator as in factories and loft buildings, but the fall rope outside of the building. One system is the electric Fig. 70. — Warehouses and whip hoists at the Bush terminal. THE WAREHOUSE 181 warehouse hoist with a drum and motor arid controller in the roof space with a controlling lever at each floor served by the fall rope It has been found to be more economic...al than the elevator. The other is the so-called "whip hoist" with the winding drum in front of the building instead of under the roof. There is no control lever on the floor, but the control is exercised by the man operating the drum in front of the building who has full view of what is going on. The whip hoist is the method used at the Bush Terminal. Electric hoisting winches are placed on the marginal way in front of the warehouse and about 75 feet distant from it. From the winch, lines run over the blocks above the warehouse door.
