Stow Manufacturing

Announces New

Universal Joint

Stow Manufacturing Company, Inc. recently announced a new double universal joint to add to their line of regular U-Joints that can operate at any angle up to 70 degrees from a straight line (which is about 40 degrees more than a regular universal joint can go). Designed to operate at speeds up to 1000 rpm, it is particularly useful where space limitations will not allow the use of two universal joints.

The all-steel double universal joint is avail- able in four different sizes to accommodate steel rods from 1/2 inch to 1-1/4 inch diameter. The length of the joint varies from 3-1/2 inches for the
