Deck Machinery

Crosby Group—continued inches. The sheaves are an ideal choice for original equipment in self-unloading systems and as re- placements.

McKissick sheaves are forged from controlled quality 1035 carbon steel which provides excellent weld- ing and flame hardening character- istics. All incoming steel is tested by chemical and spectrograph^ meth- ods to insure consistently high qual- ity.

Steel sheaves have excellent flexi- bility when choosing bearings and also provide better cold weather properties than nylon sheaves.

Crosby links and rings are manu- factured in a complete line of sizes and types for almost any applica- tion, with working load limits from 1,600 to 232,500 pounds.

Lebus products include lever and ratchet type load binders, grab hooks and tail chains, snatch blocks, and hook latch kits. McKissick spe- cializes in custom designed blocks to any specification, oil field blocks, crane and hook blocks, overhaul balls, swivel hooks, and snatch blocks, as well as many other prod- ucts. Western manufacturers sheaves and sleeves, wood and steel blocks, and cargo blocks and fit- tings, just part of its extensive prod- uct line. National's product line in- cludes steel swaging sleeves, duplex sleeves, swage buttons and furrules, as well as swaging presses in capaci- ties from 500 to 3,000 tons.

EMMI-PUSNES

Pusnes was founded in 1875 as a shipyard and started deck machin- ery production in 1890.

Today, Pusnes is one of the few companies in the world concentrat- ing on the development and manu- facture of all types of deck machin- ery for mooring systems used on a broad range of floating equipment.

When you board a 540,000-dwt

ULCC you will find Pusnes steam deck machinery. Looking closer at the windlass on any of these large tankers you will notice up to 1,000- hp disc brakes used to drop the anchors under finger tip control.

Visit a semisubmersible on a drilling station and you will find Pusnes mooring systems for chain, chain- wire combo, or all-wire and moored in depths up to 3,500 feet. Systems for greater depths and hostile envi- ronments are under development today.

Pusnes also manufactures moor- ing equipment for smaller coastal ships, barges, tugboats, off-shore supply boats, pipe-laying barges, and similar vessels.

Minimum crew and safety are

Pusnes trademarks. The unique roto-bollard for mooring rope han- dling is a typical innovation.

Mooring systems for chain, cable, and rope employ steam, electric, or hydraulic drives. The equipment can be local or remotely controlled and, when necessary, the mooring forces constantly monitored.

Pusnes is part of "SUBTECH"

Norway, a firm developing complete diving systems which employ diving bells, underwater vehicles, bell winch systems, divers gas recovery systems, external life support sys- tems, and the "Hyperbaric" satu- rated divers lifeboat. Concern for offshore personnel resulted in the development of "Pudes," the con- trolled extendable protected gang- way for dry evacuation.

Pusnes has a joint venture compa- ny in Japan, Nippon-Pusnes, and both are represented in the U.S. by

EMMI Corporation, of Flemington,

N.J.

Install them for smooth manual operation of valves from distances up to 40 feet away or more. And enjoy new design freedom. Ease of installation. Less maintenance. Safe, reliable operation.

And big savings.

Route these flexible rods around curves and over or under obstacles. They require no additional expensive operating gear such as universal joints or right angle gear boxes. Flexible reach rods absorb shock and vibration and stand up to abrasion, abuse and corrosion. They're pre-lubricated, and the only maintenance required is once-a-month operation.

S. S. WHITE Industrial Heavy Duty Flexible

Reach Rods are available in standard lengths from 3 to 36 feet and in three sizes to fit valves from %" to 16" in diameter. Other lengths are available on request.
