Western Gear designed and built the mechanical drive systems for United Air-craft's TurboTrains. In recent tests on the Boston-New York run the "commuter train" hit speeds up to 160 mph. Western Gear is building and erecting two of the world's largest telescopes-to be installed in Chile and at Kitt Peak, Arizona. For Bethlehem and other steelmakers we supply continuous casting machinery that eliminates several steps in the conventional steel making process. Fast Automatic Shuttle Transfer (FAST) is a system we built for the Navy. It transfers missiles between ships at speeds up to 900 feet per minute-yet lets them arrive with less than 2 G's shock! NASA's Apollo-Saturn V assembly-launch facility at Merritt Island, Florida, is the world's second largest building. Its opening/ closing doors are 40 stories high, weigh 450 tons, and were manufactured and installed by Western Gear. May 15, 1969 13
