in some cases where the tools or pipe to be lifted are not too heavy, one or more oi the sheaves 2l to 25 may he dispensed with, the arrangement shown being that ordinarily used for heavy rotary drilling. lt is-very desirable that all or the sheaves ou the crown block be adjustable Within limits to prevent side pull on the ropes and my invention makes particular )rovision for accomplish ing this object. T e sheaves 21 to 25 inclusive, which may be denominated the lower sheaves, are so mounted as to turn freely on I shafts which have lower flattened surfaces 6l. The sheaves 2l, 22 and 24; are each mounted alone on a shaft 60 while the sheaves 23 and 25 are mounted together on a shaft 60, asshown in Fig. l. These surfaces 6l rest directly upon the upper edge of one flange 62 ofy l'i-beanis G3, these IA beams forming a supporting` structure tor lilounted to slide freely on the top 62 of the li-beani GS are lower brackets these brackets hai/itu; semi-cylindrical saddle G6 res Iing; on the shafts .60. Passing through. holes in the brackets are clamp bolts 67 which extend down under the upper flange oit the tbeaiu 63 and enable the lower brackets 65 to be clamped in any position along the top of the r .l1-beams. This enables a proper adjustment to be made of the sheaves 21 to 25 and permits the maximum diameter oi sheave to be used in this position o which the dem-ick is capable.
Since the sheaves il and l2; which may hereinafter beternied upper sheaves, are not used for the saine purpose as the sheaves 2l to 25 but form. parts olf entirely diilierent hoisting systems, it is necessary that they be capable of adjustment independently of the sheaves 2 to This I accomplish by mounting theupper sheaves ll and 12 on shafts 'Z'O which have a flattened surface 72 resting; on the top of the brackets 65. The brackets 65 are made of suiicient length to allow the upper shafts '70 to be given a considerable movement thereon as, for example, :troni the position shown in full lines in Fig. 'T and the position shown in dotted lines in that figure.

recense lower brackets inde'j'iendcntly, and since both seis of brackets are independently adjustable with their axes in diiierent planes, it is possible to use much larger sheaves than in the former typeslot coustrmtion. These larger sheaves are very desirable as they greatly reduce the Wear ou the wire ropes, the
amount of this Wear beingr in inverse proportion to the size of the sheaves from which the ropes pass. v
