sion and to reducing the overall height of the cranes to improve vi- sion from the bridge.

The new O&K deck cranes guide the cargo loads with short pendu- lum movements that are abso- lutely horizontal as on a quay- mounted bridge. The movement is also on selectable lines transverse to the ship while the jib point turntable automatically retains its direction parallel to the longitudi- nal axis of the ship.

By manual control, the crane operator can additionally bring the jib point turntable into any po- sition. The operator's cabin, al- ways traveling above the load, is attached under the articulated jib and, owing to ideal vision, makes it possible for the operator to han- dle cargo hatches or containers without assistance to guide it.

The cranes are designed with good accessibility to the machin- ery, electrical and/or hydraulic equipment accommodated in the jibs. The smooth surfaces of the structure provide for easy and trouble-free maintenance. Hy- draulic pipes and equipment are arranged in such a way that all oil-carrying components are lo- cated inside the individual crane assembly groups.

The cranes are available with certificates from the requested classification society for a three- phase ship's mains with 440V/60 cycles or 380V/50 cycles, for 5 de- gree heeling and 2 degree trim for ambient temperatures of minus 25 degrees to plus 45 degrees C, ma- terial St52-3.

Crane types include the BEH with electrohydraulic drive with three phase squirrel cage rotor motors, hydraulic variable dis- placement pumps, closed circuits, electrical controls. The crane type

BEE features all-electric drive, statis transformers and DC motors.

The cranes will be manufac- tured at Paceco's newly expanded computer integrated facility lo- cated on deep water near Gulfport,

Miss.

Reel-O-Matic Systems Inc., of

Wrightsville, Pa., offers a variety of machinery to the marine indus- try. One of the most popular pieces of equipment used is the series

CPD or custom power drum. This unit is constructed of a fabricated steel drum mounted in bearings with various drive styles avail- able. These machines are built to customer requirements for size and capacity.

The CPD is designed primarily for storage and winching of cables and lines in marine usage.

A special weather proofing pack- age for shipboard environment is also available. This package in- cludes stainless steel shafting, to- tally enclosed motors and controls, sealed bearings, and galvanized undercoating with rubberized paint.

These same corrosion preventive measures can be applied to any of

Reel-O-Matic's equipment that have applications throughout the marine industry.

Another frequently used piece of equipment is the RS/VS series of shafted stationary coiling and reeling machines. These units can be bolted or welded to the deck of a ship to pull any flexible material onto a reel or coil. The RS/VS is offered with various drive config- urations to suit any particular need.

Reel-O-Matic's HJ/KVS series mobile reeling and coiling ma- chine also is often used aboard ship because it has all of the out- standing features of the RS/VS and, in addition, it is mobile. A configuration of locking wheels and swivel casters allows this ma- chine to be easily moved from job to job.

Schoellhorn-Albrecht Division of

St. Louis Ship, St. Louis, Mo., is presently concluding fabrication of four 1824 deck capstans for Todd

Shipyards in San Pedro, Calif.

This family of capstans, which has been in service for over 40 years, is not presently represented in the company's brochure but will be shown in revised literature avail- able later this year.

The deck capstans have fully normalized and stress-relieved cast steel barrels and right-angle worm gear housing. The capstans are driven through a structural frame (continued from page 46) 1
