Basic machinery and component functions in typical shovel crane with conventional direct engine drive are explained as background for factors which engineer must consider in applying converters such as desirable performance curves, output shaft governors, and heat dissipation; low inertia engine flywheels to permit rapid engine acceleration; provision of positive disconnect clutch; training of operators; advantages and future trends.
