[QUOTE="dwt, post: 121613, member: 428"] Worked with a guy some 6 years ago underground who had designed a braking system for a kibble, the guts of it was the hoist cable lifted from the centre of the kibble, down some 3 feet from the top, the braking system acted like a sprung scissor action, basically once weight dropped off the cable the springs would apply tension to the scissor action slamming two brakes into the guide rails, once tension was reapplied to the cable the brakes released and off the kibble went. Your post just reminded me PB, cheers ;) [/QUOTE]
