SYSTEM.

A new Vickers hydraulic system provides remote control for mooring the Esso tanker "San Francisco". The operator can release the winch brake, select direction of rotation, or achieve infinite speed control with a single lever. Each mooring winch can be operated remotely or at the winch station.

Located below deck, the Vickers power packages for the 11 mooring winch/anchor windlass stations offer these advantages: smaller components, easy installation, and less service requirements. This system, the largest ever placed on a U.S. ship, can operate up to 1800 psi and 748 gpm, devel- oping 600 hp. It is also less susceptible to hydraulic shock than low pressure systems.

And it costs less than competitive systems.
