Hyde/Henschel Steering

Failure Alarm Meets

USCG And IMCO Rules

There is a new awareness of the need for improved steering gear reliability on tankships. This awareness has arisen as a result of recently proposed regulations and standards published by the

U. S. Coast Guard and the Inter-

Governmental Maritime Consulta- tive Organization (IMCO).

Prominent among these pro- posed regulations is the require- ment for a steering failure alarm system which can quickly detect rudder position errors and actu- ate visual and audible alarms when the errors indicate steering gear failure.

A steering failure alarm to meet the foregoing conditions is offered by Hyde Products, Inc. of

Cleveland, and Henschel Corpora- tion of Amesbury, Mass. Accord- ing to Parker L. Hay, chief engi- neer of Hyde Products, Hyde and

Henschel have developed the sys- tem in a joint effort, thus taking advantage of the best technology in both companies. Both Hyde and

Henschel have been prominent in the marine industry for many years.

The new safety regulations demand a lot from you. They demand a lot from us, too.

But Sperry is accustomed to meeting demands.

For more than 50 years we've been a major manufacturer of steering system components.

Today, only Sperry can supply a complete steering system.

To help you comply with the latest rules, we've established a Retrofit Survey Team.

Each engineer on the team is thoroughly familiar with all regulations. Call him for a survey and he'll evaluate your present system. His subseguent proposal will recommend only the equipment you'll need and he'll outline a compliance schedule, including cost and time estimates, and all the services required.

Sperry provides system design review, submission of proposal for regulatory body approval, installation supervision, assistance during final inspection, and supervision of sea trials.

The Sperry Retrofit Survey. When you need to know what you need.

Hyde is prepared to handle all aspects of installation of the sys- tem, which includes the Henschel

Model 40-271 steering failure alarm panel. Henschel has fur- nished steering failure alarm pan- els to the marine industry for many years. Their current Model 40-271 uses an 8-bit microcom- puter to constantly monitor helm and rudder positions and to per- form calculations to provide au- dible and visual alarms. The Mod- el 40-271 also has built-in diag- nostics and self-test routines to assure the utmost in reliability in a compact solid-state unit.

Hyde offers total service. A highly trained engineering and service staff can provide every- thing from initial survey to final installation. The development of the steering gear failure alarm system is the outgrowth of Hyde's continuing program in steering gear reliability. Over the past five years, Hyde developed such items as emergency steering power units, remote pilothouse control of power unit changeover, and in- troduced redundancy to control systems.
