Oh, dude, you're hitting me with the heavy machinery lingo! So, like, the main difference between an auxiliary hoist and a whip hoist is that the auxiliary hoist is typically used for heavier loads and operates at slower speeds, while the whip hoist is like the speed demon of the hoisting world, moving lighter loads at faster speeds. It's kind of like the tortoise and the hare, but with cranes.
Hoist is a noun (a hoist) and a verb (to hoist).
hoist was invented in 1954

A headache ball is a heavy steel ball used to provide ballast on the hook end of a crane hoist rope. Typically some larger cranes have an auxiliary/secondary hoist that can lift light loads but at a much faster speed than the main hoist. A hoist rope needs ballast so that the rope remains tight and does not whip (ballast normally provided by the weight of the hook on the main hoist). Because of the fast speed of these secondary hoists and the common failure of older limit switches it was not uncommon for ropes to be over-wound causing this ballast ball to strike the crane jib and become separated from the rope, dropping to the ground. A crane with a secondary hoist is not normally referred to as a "headache ball crane" but this might be what is meant.
