"There were the "hoisters," as they were called, whose task it was to press the lever which lifted the dead cattle off the floor. They ran along upon a
rafter, peering down through the damp and the steam, and as old Durham's
architects had not built the killing room for the convenience of the hoisters,
at every few feet they would have to stoop under a beam, say four feet
above the one they ran on, which got them into the habit of stooping, so
that in a few years they would be walking like chimpanzees" (Sinclair 355). *
