company is headquartered in Cleve- land.

Equipment manufactured in- cludes steering gears, steering sys- tems, vertical and horizontal anchor windlasses, constant-tension moor- ing winches, cargo winches, special- purpose winches, capstans, mooring chocks, vacuum and compressor systems, and oil/water separators.

While Hyde has a standard product line, custom-designed machinery is its specialty.

During the past three years, Hyde has delivered a series of steering sys- tems and windlasses to the South

Korean Navy. The contract was for the design and manufacture of steering systems, rudder angle indi- cating systems, and vertical anchor windlasses for Navy corvettes (KCX) and frigates (KFX) being built in South Korea. The anchor windlasses are single wildcat verti- cal types powered by multispeed electric motors through triple re- duction gearing. These units feature a low above-deck profile, with the speed reducer, motor, brake, clutch, and controls below deck, protected from the environment.

The corvette steering gears are of the basic two-cylinder link type, but the power and control units are a significant departure from the con- ventional steering system. Through the innovative application of mod- ern electronic and fluid power tech- nology, many of the traditional in- tricate and cumbersome mechanical components have been eliminated.

The net result has been a significant reduction in cost and weight, with- out the sacrifice of operational per- formance or reliability.

Hyde recently received orders for the first of two new classes of vessels to be built in Korea. The company will build an anti-magnetic anchor windlass for a Mine Hunting Craft (MHC) and the steering gear, an- chor windlass, and capstan for a

Police Corvette. These two new con- tracts bring the total of Korean- built vessels supplied with Hyde equipment to 19. Negotiations are currently under way for additional

KCX vessels to be delivered in 1985.
