WHARF IMPROVEMENT
ALTERATION AT DEVONPORT
The Auckland Harbour Board is remodelling the electrically-driven hoisting gear that operates the big gangway for passenger traffic at the Devonport ferry wharf.
This style of landing is unique and the board’s engineers had to plan a special type of friction clutch winch that could be operated from the ferry boats. Experience has shown that the first plan of an indirect hoist can be bettered and now a direct-acting hoist, suspended over the two-ton gangway, has been installed.
