Was reading earlier posts about chainfalls and???.I have an(antique?)old unit by Chicago hoist which has one continuous chain loop in it.It will extend appx 12-14 feet before the "control" loop of chain gets used up.It is 1000lb cap with hooks on both end pulleys.Is this some oddity or variation or is this the difference between a chainfall and chainhoist?

The type of hoist you mentioned with one continuous loop of chain is called a differential hoist. The upper wheel has two "sheaves" that differ in tooth count by one. Each revolution either picks up or lets go of one chain link and lifts at that rate. They are limited to lighter loads unless the chain is very fine (not practical for heavy use). I have one and a heavy V-8 engine is about all it can handle.

I believe that you have a "chain hoist".
A chain fall is where the pull chain is seperate from the hoist chain.
