Once in the journal “modelist-Konstruktor” I read the article “the Farmer’s sloping field.” The air route is very much needed in the highlands. But in nature, there are many horizontal areas, overgrown shrubbery, marshy ravines, through which transportation of cargo is also very difficult. In addition, many farms have often to move cargo over short distances — for example, on farms. For this I suggest using a rope conveyor. It is much easier air road, offers the opportunity to assemble the system on their own, for example, in the workshops of the kolkhoz or sovkhoz.
The basis of it — two columnar supports on extensions to the standard cuffs. Between them stretched horizontal rope, and he hung the bucket with a roller. The poles mounted manual or electric winch with grabovymi wheels and drums, through which passes a vertical wire associated with the cuffs.
Begin to transfer cargo. One of the pillars of the loaded bucket and windlass raised the moving cuff. The cable gets the inclination, and the bucket on the wheel is rolling to the second support. After unloading change the position of the cuffs, an empty bucket back. Places of loading and unloading, of course, vary. By the way, if you make the bottom opening, unloading can be made at any point: for this to the lid of the bucket is attached to the cable which opens the lid.
Cable cars will be able to work with a crane: one end of the cable pounces on its cargo hook. The crane picks up the arrow, there is a inclination of the cable of the tub heading to the place of unloading; down returns.
A kind of “air ferry” can be used on various types of transportation: for felling, feeding of feed or grain, on construction.
