Williams Announces

Lubricating Innovation

For Steel Cables

Harold G. Williams

After more than 45 successful years in the foreign and domestic shipping industry, building and operating ships, tugs, and barges, inventor Harold G. Williams, president of Atlantis Services, in- troduces Cable Saver, a device for the automatic lubrication of mov- ing steel wire cable.

The unit, manufactured of poly- ethylene, is in two equal halves and may be installed without dis- turbing any part of the machinery.

Cable Saver™ is designed for use on revolving boom cranes, fixed cranes, drag lines, skagit heavy car movers, tension winches, ele- vators, drill rigs and many other automated machines using steel cable. Unit #1 accommodates cable sizes from 1/2 inch to 2 inches, unit #2 will fit sizes 2—3 inches.

An alemite hand pump, placed on a 35-pound can, pumps special lu- bricant into the Cable Saver. On larger operations, a regulated air pressure pump may be installed on a 55-gallon drum for lubrication.

When used on a machine with undamaged cable and properly lu-

July 1,1984 bricated, Cable Saver should dou- ble or triple the useful life of a ca- ble. It has six foreign registrations, including Germany, Norway, Den- mark, Sweden, Finland and the

British Isles. It is also registered in about one-half of the United

States to date.
