Hand hoists are chain operated. There are four types: spur geared, worm geared, differential, and pull-lift or lever. The last, with its lever for operation and its ratchet for holding, is the simplest and most economical. However, since the operating lever is located on the anchor end of the hoist, it is not as convenient for vertical lifting as it is for horizontal pulling. 2, record 1, English, - pull%2Dlift%20hoist

Palans à bras. Ils sont de plusieurs sortes. [...] Les palans à rochet permettent de lever ou de tirer des charges dans n’ importe quelle direction. Leur manœuvre est obtenue par un mouvement de va-et-vient d’un levier, la charge étant retenue par un frein; cet appareil, très léger et pratique, ne possède cependant qu'une faible course(1, 50 m env.). 1, record 1, French, - palan%20%C3%A0%20rochet

Supplemental brake with a butterfly valve or sliding gate in the exhaust system which restricts exhaust gas flow to decrease piston speed, thus using the engine as a braking device. 1, record 3, English, - exhaust%2Dbrake%20retarder
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 1 OBS
When exhaust flow is restricted, the engine acts as a compressor. As back pressure increases, RPM decreases; vehicle speed also decreases because the engine is coupled to the drive wheels through the transmission. 1, record 3, English, - exhaust%2Dbrake%20retarder
