PRC Reports On Navy Use

Of PRORECO III Deck System — Brochure Available

Products Research and Chemical Corp. (PRC) of Glendale, Calif., recently released data con- firming the extensive use by the U.S. Navy of the firm's PRORECO5 III weather deck system.

PRC reports that the PRORECO III system is now utilized on more than 100 U.S. Navy ships of all types including the newest guided missile cruisers, the famous Battleship New

Jersey and aircraft carriers. In addition, for years PRORECO III has been used aboard hundreds of commercial vessels of all types worldwide.

The system has a 15 year service history of providing deck maintenance cost savings on all types of high wear deck surfaces including aircraft carrier flight decks, helicopter land- ing platforms on military ships and on off- shore drilling rigs, cruise ships, cable laying ships, icebreakers, fishing vessels and ocean- going vessels of all types. "PRC coatings protect your decks because they protect themselves" is the attention-get- ting head over the first of four sections in an eight-page color brochure from Products Re- search & Chemical Corporation. This heading leads into a discussion of PRC PRORECO deck coating systems designed to resist the heaviest abrasion, impact, vibration, or move- ment. The company says that once durable

PRC coatings are applied, surface touch-up and renewal is all that is needed, virtually eliminating maintenance costs for 10 years or more.

The second section in the publication ex- plores the advantages of PRC PRORECO Ma- rine Rubber Caulk™ sealants as truly all-pur- pose caulk; and the third section points up the fact that PRC technology and its broad base of protective products can solve unique problems in the marine, aerospace, railroad, telecom- munications, automotive and construction industries.

The attractive brochure features .a breaking ocean wave on the cover as a reminder of the powerful forces of nature coatings and seal- ants must protect against. Color illustrations and photos are used throughout, and a partial listing of some of the PRC products available, with a description of each, is given on the back cover.

McDermott-Built Barge

Uses Markey Machinery

Windlass And Capstans

Markey Machinery Co., Inc. of Seattle, de- signer and builder of auxiliary marine deck equipment, recently delivered a Type WESD- 28S Drum Windlass for a 350-foot barge built by McDermott Shipyards, for Matson Naviga- tion Co. The 10 hp electric windlass has a nar- row width drum to ease spooling, and has a capacity of 720 feet of 13A inch wire. Of partic- ular interest is the radio-controlled anchor lowering system, which allows it to pay out its wire on command from the tug. The amount of wire out is monitored on the tug via the signal sent by the windlass' drum counter. Local line payout is achieved by use of the manual drum brake and the main pinion clutch.

Accompanying the drum windlass on the

Matson barge are four Markey 24-inch type

CET-80 capstans. Each 30-hp ac electric cap- stan has its motor and gearcase mounted on the deck below to conserve deck space.
