Talk:Hoist (mining)

Cross Reference
Hoist (device) contains material that probably belongs here. Hoist (the disambiguation page) needs a reference here. Then, we need to untangle the mining specific stuff from the general. Most of the characteristics of winding engines apply to all hoisting engines, whether in cranes, elevator shafts or mine hoists. Douglas W. Jones 128.255.45.57 (talk) 20:15, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Diagram
We should add a diagram of a friction hoist as compared to a drum hoist to explain it. RJFJR (talk) 14:05, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
