Incredible vehicle? Sure. But if anybody ever did build it we'd probably get the call for the drive system. ? The entire mechanical drive system for two new space-age "commuter" trains came from us. (Trains are powered by gas turbines, can travel up to 175 mph.) ? Then there's the main-rotor transmission for the Army/Hughes OH-6A. Extra light and compact, it's one reason the chopper was first to lift more than its weight. ? Dual power sources ?diesel engines and gas turbines? make CODAG, the Coast Guard's largest cutters, unique. The cutters can shift from diesels to gas turbines without missing a beat, thanks to our gear system. ? Got something you want moved? Tell us a few things about the power plants, and we'll take it from there. ? Precision Products Division, I P.O.
