New Catalog Available

On Full Line Of Wichita

Clutches And Brakes

A new, 60-page illustrated cat- alog (No. 80) describing the full line of Wichita airtube clutches and brakes, designed to increase overall operating efficiency and lower maintenance costs, is now available from Wichita Clutch

Company, a subsidiary of Dana

Corporation, Wichita Falls, Texas.

The basis of the Wichita design is the combination of a rugged disc-type clutch with the advan- tage of direct air engagement by means of a simple, axial-pressure airtube. The design provides greater capacity in less radial and axial space. No adjustment or lubrication is required. And the low-volume airtube provides fast engagement and disengagement.

The catalog describes and il- lustrates the complete range of clutches and brakes produced by

Wichita Clutch. This includes standard airtube disc clutches, special ventilated airtube disc clutches, low inertia airtube disc clutches, low inertia spring-set airtube disc brakes, power take- offs, Hi-Torque™ clutches, and

Kopper Kool® clutches and brakes.

Also covered are the Wichita springless quick-release valve and the Wichita roto-coupling.

The catalog outlines the oper- ating advantages of these prod- ucts. It lists specifications such as dimensions and capacities, and provides application data such as selection charts. In addition, the catalog has over 30 pages of typ- ical applications to show the wide variety of uses for Wichita clutch- es and brakes.

The Boeing Jetfoil is, quite simply, the world's best hydrofoil.

It is the product of 20 years of research, design, and testing by one of the world's fore- most aerospace companies.

With over 250,000,000 passenger miles logged, the Jetfoil has proven its superiority under actual operating conditions around the globe.

Traveling at \ up to 43 knots in some of the roughest seas, it * i has doubled — and in some cases tripled — the number of daily roundtrips possible.

Thanks to its fully submerged and computer controlled foils, the Jetfoil can carry up to 365 passengers in amazingly smooth comfort.
