Unaflex Introduces New

Molded Expansion Joints —Literature Available

Unaflex Rubber Corporation has announced the availability of their

Unasphere precision molded expan- sion joints. Identified as Style 800, this line is available in sizes ranging from 2 inches to 12 inches in diame- ter.

Molded of neoprene and nylon, these units require less force for movement than conventional joints, allowing maximum deflection, elon- gation and compression. They are for use in a broad range of modern high-pressure and temperature pip- ing systems to help eliminate noise and vibration and take up pipe expansion and contraction. Each

Unasphere comes with alignable floating steel flanges. Spherical de- sign provides an inherently stronger configuration that allows pressure to exert force evenly in all directions and reduce turbulence.

Literature is available on the Un- asphere line. For free copies and further information,

Caterpillar Tractor Co.

Renamed Caterpillar Inc.

Caterpillar Tractor Company, headquartered in Peoria, 111., re- cently became Caterpillar Inc. fol- lowing approval of the name at the annual meeting. Also, the compa- ny's state of incorporation has been changed from California to Dela- ware as a result of the shareholders' action. "Caterpillar Inc. better reflects the type of business we have be- come," said chairman of the board

George Schaefer. "In the 1920s we were a tractor company. Today we offer far more. In addition to tractors, we provide engines, lift trucks, paving equipment, and many other products and service," he said. The corporate name change reflects the existing and growing diversity of the Caterpillar enter- prise.

Caterpillar's Engine Division manufactures engines for earthmov- ing and construction machines; on- highway trucks; marine, petroleum, agricultural, industrial, and other applications; electric power genera- ton systems; and related parts. Cat diesel and spark-ignited engines meet power needs ranging from 85 to 6,000 bhp; and in generator set configurations, from 50 to 4,800 kw.

Caterpillar products are manfac- tured in 16 plants in the U.S. and 14 plants overseas. Four factories in the U.S. are involved primarily in the production of diesel and spark- ignited gas engines for incorpora- tion into the company's machines and for sale to other equipment manufacturers and dealers.

Caterpillar engines are sold worldwide through independent dealers, and to other manufacturers for use in products produced by them. The Cat dealer network con- sists of almost 100 located in the

U.S. and some 130 located abroad.

Worldwide these dealers have more than 1,000 places of business.
