National River Academy

Names Sheldon G. Held

Advisory Board Chairman

Sheldon G. Held of New Orleans, has been elected chairman of the National River Acade- my Advisory Board. The announcement was made in Tampa, Fla., by Capt. Noble Gordon, chairman of the Education Committee of the academy.

About 20 persons representing the inland waterways industry, the Coast Guard, Corps of Engineers, marine insurance, marine sur- veying and related fields are members of the

Advisory Board.

The group has responsibility for developing a curriculum to train personnel for work on the nation's river system. The Advisory Board will submit its recommendations to the Edu- cation Committee and the board of directors of the National River Academy.

Mr. Held, a 42-year-old marine surveyor for

Bachrach & Woods, New Orleans, La., was formerly a marine instructor with the United

States Army Transportation Corps. He con- ducted feasibility and curriculum studies for the National River Academy for three months in 1969 on a full-time basis. "The National

River Academy is one of the most exciting proposals to come along in many years because it offers the chance for up-to-date modern training to persons in all phases of the inland waterways industry," Mr. Held said.

Captain Gordon said he was very pleased with the selection of Mr. Held as chairman of the Advisory Board. "I have followed Mr.

Held's activities in behalf of the National

River Academy for the past several months arid have been impressed with his dedication to this proposal," he stated. "Working with the other outstanding members of the Ad- visory Board, I am certain that they can and will develop an outstanding program."

The next board of directors meeting for the academy will be held at the Holiday Inn Riv- ermont in Memphis, Tenn. At that time, the board will act on reports of the Advisory

Board, Education, Finance and Rules Commit- tees. Offices for the National River Academy are located at 608 Cherry Street, Helena, Ark. 72342.

Self-Locking Nut-Bolt System

Available From Hi-Shear Corp.

A completely new concept for a self-locking nut is available from Hi-Shear Corporation,

Torrance, Calif. The Hi-Key Locking Nut is a unitized, free-turning, mechanical locking de- vice which does not depend on friction, plastic inserts or deformed threads to maintain lock.

When the Hi-Key nut is locked, a unique finger spring holds the lockring in engagement with both the nut and a keyway in the bolt or shaft. This metal-to-metal lock, which ap- proaches the twist-off strength of the bolt, prevemts vibration or unintentional torque from rotating the nut. The Hi-Key Locking

Nut is easily installed, adjusted, or removed with a Hi-Key box wrench or socket wrench or a standard box wrench and a Hi-Key re- lease tube.
