The equipment produced by The Narragansett Machine Co. was top notch all the way. Check out the specs on this interesting piece from 1910:
 The Narragansett Machine Co. Triplex Pulley | This illustration of details of the Triplex Pulley weight shows the thoroughness and care we put into the design of all our apparatus, particularly the pulley weights. The ceiling pulley is adjustable to provide for varying rope angles. The top pulley also swings to lead correctly to the ceiling pulley. The swivel chest weight pulley, with its sliding block, is a fine example of neat design and the swivel floor pulley reaches down over the floorboard to draw the handles as close to the floor as possible. The mounting boards are made of Oak hardwood, the pulleys themselves are made from cast iron and other fixtures are made of polished brass. |
