The Newest Method of Coaling Battleships at Sea (1913)

We see the Battleship "North Dakota" taking coal from the Collier "Cyclops," by means of an ingenious device which lifts six large bags, each holding about one-half ton of coal, from the hold of the "Cyclops" and transferring it by a trolley line of about two hundred yards to the hold of the "North Dakota." We are also shown close views of the engine which operates the trolley and automatically takes up the slack in the cable in such a manner as to insure rapid and accurate operation.
