SOUTH AMBOY TO BE LARCEST
COAL SHIPPING PORT ON COAST.
Special to the Evening News.
South Amboy, Deo. 5:—Work is to
bo started at onoe to make South Am
boy one of the largest coal shipping
portB in tire world. The most up-to
date machinery and labor-saving
deviseB known will bo installed and
cars will be unloaded into vessels at
the rate of twenty cars per hour.
Additional tracks will be laid at
3onth Amboy and the coal shipping
will ba increased many times. It was
said by one of the officials of the
Pennsylvania railroad that when the
improvements at South Amboy are
completed it will menu that coal ship
ping at at least three other ports will
practically oense. What three ports
these will be the official would not
say.
The plans for these vast improve
ments at South Amboy have been
completed and work will bo started at
onoe. When it will bo completeu, is
not known. The principal chnnges
are the mannor of handling cars on
the end of the docks and the means of
unloading them into vessols. The
system adopted for the latter is similar
to the one now in nse on the great
lakes which is the only place where
the method is nsed. A huge crane
picks the cars up bodily, turns them
over, damping the coal into the ves
sels, and replaces them on the tracks
jnst as fast as drill engines can supply
the cars and get the empty ones out
of the way. The apparatus does its
own trimming and will do away witli
many hands.
At the first of the year the Scully
dock passes into the oontrol of the
Pennsylvania railioad. This nnload
lng apparatus wilt be located on tlie
end of one of the docks and all tho
other docks will be nsed for storage.
A patent machine, which wbh in nse
many years ago to load coal from the
bins into the cars, which was aband
oned, will probably be pnt in nse
again, it iB said. Tho plans are on an
elaborate scale and when completed
South Amboy dooks will be complete
ly transformed. Officials of the Penn
sylvania visited the shipping ports on
the great lakes before adopting the
system. Following is a description
of the new device as furnished by an
I official of the Pennsylvania railroad:
“The loaded movement is by gravity
from ‘A’ to ‘B,’ as in the cnt, passing
over the scales for loaded cars. From
point ‘B’ the cats are hanled up to
the unloading tower ‘O’ onto a cradle
by means of a haulage ‘pig.’ The
cradle is then raised to the proper
height, which height can be varied
according to the size of the vessel to
be loaded, and the cradle and car
turned over to an angle to allow of
the entire load falling out by gravity
into a large dumping pan, from which
point it is carried to the vessel
through an adjustable spout, which is
moveable iu all directions to allow of
trimming and even loading. Tho car
and cradlo are then lowered to tlieir
initial position, the car being pushed
off the cradle by the succeeding car.
It then strikes a down grade, passing
over the empty car scales, and after
passing a certain point is hauled up a
steep incline to ‘D’ by means of an
other hanlage pig, from which point
it goes to the classification yard by
gravity. The last movement is gov
erned by the operation on bridge
‘E. ’ ”
