Hyde has recently been con- tracted by the Naval Regional

Center in Long Beach, Calif., to build a 2-speed, 20-hp boat winch for the USS Fox (CG-33).

Hyde has recently begun deliv- ery of a series of steering systems and windlasses to the South Ko- rean Navy. Hyde's contract is for the design and manufacture of steering systems, rudder angle in- dicating systems, and vertical an- chor windlasses.

The anchor windlasses are sin- gle wildcat vertical types powered by a multispeed electric motor through triple reduction gearing.

The units feature a low above- deck profile, with the speed re- ducer, motor, brake, clutch, and controls below deck, protected from weather.

The steering gears are of the basic two-cylinder link type.

Through the innovative applica- tion of modern electronic and fluid power technology, many of the tra- ditional intricate and cumbersome mechanical components have been eliminated. The net result has been a significant reduction in cost and weight without the sacrifice of operational performance or reli- ability.

The hydraulic power units fea- ture multistage fixed displacement pumps controlled by a system of flow, pressure, and directional valves which regulate speed, di- rection, and regenerative horse- power. The system is designed to meet current IMO standards and is totally redundant in that each of the power units will develop full speed and torque requirements.

The steering gears are built as duplicates of previous machines and utilize more conventional de- signs to maintain interchangeabil- ity with the originals.
