piate 4% shows the right side of the machine. In Fig. 1 the machine 

 is rigged for reeling in hy steam, the reel being connected with the engine 

 by means of a belt of round leather on one part of which rests the tight- 

 ening-pulley. 1 The swivel-pulley is down in the position it would have 

 when reeling in while the ship has headway. 2 Fig. 2 shows the machine 

 in temporary disuse, as in port, for instance. The reel, being unshipped, 

 is supposed to be in the tank containing preservative. 3 The register is 

 thrown back out of the way. 4 The fairleader arrangement is thrown back 

 on its pivot and the swivel-pulley is carried still farther to the rear on 

 another pivot; neither are unshipped. The side stays are slacked and 

 their outriggers are thrown up on pivots into a snug position. 5 The two 

 parts of the back brace or stay are disconnected, and the upper section of 

 the guide-pipes is thrown back where it remains supported, all parts of 

 the machine thus being accessible for cleaning. 



mate 43 shows the left side of the machine. In Fig. 1 it is rigged for 

 paying out. fi The belt is disconnected and the friction-line is applied. 

 The swivel-pulley is laid aside, resting on the left outrigger. The clamp 

 is in use in the fairleader as if the reel had been stopped temporarily to 

 repair a defect in the wire. 7 Fig. 2 shows the machine folded for trans- 

 portation or stowage, the reel being in the tank. The cross-head pulley 

 has been removed, but the cross-head itself remains in place. 8 In folding 

 the machine the reel and this pulley are the only parts that do not remain 

 hinged or otherwise attached to their proper places; such bolts or screws 

 as are necessarily removed are again replaced, after the machine has been 

 folded, to secure them against loss or error in future adjustments. ' The 

 front part of the bed has been thrown upward, carrying with it the guide- 

 pipes. The guide-pipes are folded in a reverse way from that shown in 

 Fig. 2, Plate 42, while the outriggers, fairleader arrangement, and swivel- 

 pulley are folded as shown in that figure. For inclosing the machine 

 when folded, a box is placed over it and screwed to the wooden piece 

 shown by the figures of Plates 42 and 43. This wooden piece forms the
