THE MARGARET L - world's largest tuna seiner - adds more world-ranging efficiency to the U.S. fishing fleet. Built by Peterson Builders, Inc. of Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin, the "Margaret L" is powered by two Fairbanks Morse diesel engines, each developing 3,000 hp at 750 rpm. To deliver and control this power, the Rados Western Corp. of San Pedro, California, the designers, chose Western Gear Model 360 PCMR 3.97 to 1 reverse-reduction gear driving through Wichita ATD-230H Marine Clutches.

Smooth, positive performance. -yC Quick response for excellent maneuverability. -ft Slip characteristics that permit propeller speeds below engine idle. 'fC Low maintenance, •ft Easily accessible.
