Peck & Hale Offers

Container Lashing

System Literature

Peck & Hale Inc., W. Sayville,

N.Y., designer and manufacturer of material handling and cargo secur- ing systems, has completed their contract with Bell Aerospace in Buf- falo, N.Y., for a container lashing system to be used on the new

LACV-30 vehicle. The LACB (Lighter Air Custion Vehicle) is ca- pable of carrying up to 30 tons over land, water, swamp, snow, ice and low brush at speeds up to 62 mph. It is being built by Bell for the U.S.

Army Mobility Equipment Re- search and Development Command.

The contract was the development contract conducted by Peck & Hale for the Navy several years ago.

The cargo securing system used on the LACV-30 combines the ad- vantages of rigid rods and quick act- ing tensioners. Rods are easily in- serted into the top ISO container hole from the deck, eliminating in- sertion normally requiring a ladder which is time consuming and haz- ardous, especially during emergency situations. The light-weight ten- sioners replace heavy cumbersome turnbuckles, and are stowable along with the rods in small compact bins.

Peck & Hale has designed many cargo and vehicle lashing systems for the U.S. Government over the past 35 years. The company is the major supplier of these systems cur- rently used on military assault, sup- port and transport ships.

Simrad Introduces

New Synthesized Weather

Facsimile Receiver

Simrad Inc., of Seattle, Wash., has recently introduced the new

Simrad Taiyo TF-733, a revolution- ary new synthesized weather fac- simile receiver. The TF-733 has a unique Thermal Head recording system which operates without belts and styluses, and yields sharp, de- tailed recordings. Because it has very few moving parts, the TF-733 operates silently, and requires vir- tually no maintenance.

Standard models are preprogram- med with an existing weather fac- simile frequencies worldwide, for continuous chart reception on long journeys. The built-in receiver auto- matically starts, phases, and stops on all WMO (remote control) sig- nals, and can be programmed for auto on/off, with built-in timer. Ad- ditionally, the TF-733 prints out transmitted satellite pictures in 7 grey tones, for easy weather chart interpretation.

The TF-733 is extremely light- weight and compact and can easily be bulkhead or tabletop mounted.
