It consists of a number of concentric grooves, whose respective diameters are regulated by the quantity of cord which must pass over their peripheries in equal spaces of time. In this system and all others where a single cord is employed, the power is to the weight as .1 to the number of parts of the cord acting on the lower block, or as 1 to twice the number of pullies in the lower block, and as in the system shown by Fig. 24, the...
