Crane-ladle

See LADLE.

Crank--sometimes called the crane-handle--is a short arm or lever turned at right angles. One side is made round and smooth, to revolve easily in the hands while rotating the hoisting and other motions of the crane; the other angle terminates with a swaged hole to fit the squared end of the shafts which carry the gearing. See CRANE.
