I use WIKI 2 every day and almost forgot how the original Wikipedia looks like.

Accompanying text:
In a later form of Temperley transporter for heavy loads and quick speeds the automatic travelling carriage is discarded, and a system of multiple ropes is used. The general arrangement of ropes when used for working a grab is shown in Fig. 33. The hoisting drum is divided into two parts connected by epicyclic gearing, the motor driving on to a central spur wheel. One-half of the rope is connected to the body of the grab, while the other half is led to the sheaves which open and close the grab.
When the two drums are driven through the epicyclic gearing the grab is lifted or lowered with the jaws closed. To open or close the jaws the left-hand drum is held by a brake, and on running the motor the right-hand rope hauls in or pays out as the case may be, and so operates the jaws of the grab. To lift or lower the grab with the jaws open the two drums are locked together. The epicyclic gear being now inoperative, the weight of the grab is taken on the left-hand rope, while there is no tension on the right-hand rope, and as this rope hauls in and pays out at the same speed as the left-hand one, there is no movement of the grab jaws. For travelling the carriage a separate winding drum and motor are used. If a brake be applied to prevent the hoisting motor from running and the travelling motor be started, the carriage will travel along and the hoisting drums will revolve in opposite directions, being driven by the hoisting rope, and the grab will travel in a horizontal line, being neither lifted nor lowered. If both motors run simultaneously, the load will be lifted or lowered, as well as travelled, and the grab will follow a diagonal path.
