TY - JOUR AU - Gurkov, A. AB - (UDC 621.873-519) ~,. M. Pol'skii and A. I. Gurkov Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine Translated from Metallurg, No. 6, p, 22, June, 1964 Remote-control cranes are in operation in two mills of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine. Crane No. 18 of the iron-casting mill used in loading cupola furnaces was converted to remote control in September 1962. It is equipped with direct-current magnetic controllers of type P and PS. Two panels with command controllers, buttons for opening and closing the guard panel, buttons for the sound signal, and safety foot pedals are installed in the working area of the cupola furnaces for operating the crane. An operator runs the crane from this panel from which the visibility of the working site is best. In the cabin of the crane local controls are preserved and a switch for the type of control-"local" or"remote" - is installed as a reserve in case of breakdown of the remote-control apparatus and also to handle jobs not provided for in the technology of the section. The control panel is connected with the crane by four contact trolleys. Through one of them the crane receives alternating current to feed the executive semicomplex of remote-control apparatus.
