Harold S. Catchot, president of

McElroy Machine & Mfg. Co., Inc., recently announced that McElroy

Machine & Mfg. has been awarded a contract to supply a triple drum, diesel powered waterfall winch to the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers,

New Orleans District.

The winch, model TW37-100D, is powered by a Detroit Diesel 4-71 engine through a Spicer manual transmission. All controls are me- chanical and are centrally located for ease of operation. The winch develops 24,000 pounds line pull at 115 feet per minute (full drum) and has a spool capacity of 1,000 feet of 7/8-inch diameter cable on each spool.

Other current work includes the bow anchor windlasses and stern anchor winches for 22 U.S. Army

LCU (Landing Craft, Utility) being constructed at Lockheed Shipbuild- ing's Savannah, Ga., shipyard.

Also in process are the tow win- ches and anchor windlasses for two tugboats being built by Moss Point

Marine for the Jordanian Govern- ment. The model 544 tow winches develop 44,000 pounds line pull and have a brake rated at 110,000 pounds. The winches are powered by a self-contained 100-hp electro- hydraulic power unit. The bow an- chor windlasses are model MDW- 100 which handle 1-inch stud link anchor chain on each of its cast steel wildcats.

Recently completed contracts in- clude an anchor windlass for Pacific

Marine of Honolulu, Hawaii. The windlass will be installed on a

SWATH (Small Waterplane Area

Twin Hull) type excursion vessel being built at Thompson Metal

Fabricators of Vancouver, Wash.

McElroy has supplied capstans to

Halter Marine, Lockport, La., for installation abord a Chevron tug.

The forward capstan is a model MC- 20-H which develops 18,000 pounds line pull and the aft unit is a model

MC-24-H which develops 23,000 pounds line pull. Each was supplied with an electrohydraulic power dnit.
