Union Wire Rope-the dependable towline
Like the towline in the photo, the "life lines" of a tug and barge operation must hold up over the long haul. Union Wire Rope does just that, giving towing miles measured in the tens of thousands.
Puget Sound Tug and Barge Company of Seattle, Washington, is a big user of Union Wire Rope towlines. When you see a Red
Stack tug like the one pictured, it's likely there's a Union Wire Rope connecting the tug to the barge's chain bridle. Red Stack uses towlines from 1500 to 2600 feet long to pull cargoes from 600 to 12,500 tons.
Whether you need towlines that stay on-the-go longer, or rope and slings for many other marine applications, ask your marine distributor about Union Wire Rope. For more information on ma- rine rope applications, write: Union Wire Rope Sales, Armco Steel
Corporation, Dept. K-361, 7000 Roberts Street, Kansas City, Mis- souri 64125.
