View of Moor Street station's 30 ton traverser sited in the
lower shed 'B' which was used to transfer wagons from the lift to the sidings
or from the sidings to the lift. Shed B is provided with eight parallel lines
of sidings some of which are only a few feet apart. The traverser runs the full
width of the shed, some 256 feet, at the Park Street end. The perishable market
traffic dealt with in the early morning in this shed required the most rapid
handling possible. This accounts for the high speed of the large lifts and it
was essential that the traverser should not only have a correspondingly high
speed but be able to stop very accurately at any of the sidings. This is
accomplished by the use of Hele Shaw oil pressure transmission gear.
