Sails Into The Arctic its safety will depend upon American Engineering Company equipment. lee steering gear and windlass on this new coast guard cutter are constructed to stand the shock of heavy seas. The NORTHLAND is also equipped with an American Engineering Company warping gypsey of special design and rugged construction. The steering gear has double plungers and cylinders with hydraulic pressure supplied by a Hele-Shaw Pump. The gear is very rugged and is constructed to give maximum leverage as the rudder approaches the hardover position. The main tiller is loose on the rudder stock with the power trans- mitted to the locking head, which is keyed to the rudder stock through two shearing pins on opposite sides of the stock so as to avoid any side pressure on the rudder stock bearings. The shear pins protect the mechanical parts of the gear when ice is jammed around the rudder. All parts are mounted on a common bed plate which also forms a bearing for the rudder stock. Two large wood hand wheels with spur and worm gearing with a self-locking worm are provided for hand operation. Control from the pilot house is with flexible cables with Hanscom wire rope drums. The windlass has a watertight casing that protects the gearing and electrical equipment, which are mounted on a common bed plate. The gearing is of spur type, all gears are cast steel, and all pinions forged steel, with cut teeth. A-E-CO AUXILIARIES are backed by seventy years of leadership in the manufacture of fine machinery for ships. Whether you want a motorboat windlass or a battleship’s steering gear, write us.
