The brakes can always be hinged for action so that in the darkest night 

 there need be no delay in revolving the capstan. The capstan is sim- 

 ple in construction" and can be easily repaired. 



Model of capstan or windlass. (6.) 



Has two levers and is especially adapted to fishing vessels. The power can 

 be applied to two teeth of the ratchet at the same time by the links 

 on the push pawls of the levers. 



Sword- fish iron. Improved pattern. (6.) 



When the movable catch that holds the toggle strikes the skin of the fish 

 it uulocksthe iron, but, nevertheless, will remain in position as long 

 as it continues going. When the action is reversed or the iron drawn 

 out, it immediately loggles or comes crossways. The long shank can 

 then be easily pulled out of the short shank by means of a small line 

 attached.
