MOORING ENGINES in Stock-a// ready for you HESE mooring engines really do the job. American Ship developed them after years of experience with Lake ships —and they are standard now on most ships on the Great Lakes. Here are some of the reasons why: They have plenty of power to handle any ship—and the 16-inch drum of the most popular size engine will accommodate 600 feet of 114-inch wire cable. They are made of unusually high grade, high tensile strength iron. They have cut gears—and for the fifteen years we have been cutting them, so far as we know, there has never been a broken tooth. They have link reversing gears. . . the kind of reverse most engineers prefer, be- cause the valves in this type have a com- fortable lap which prevents steam leakage. They have friction brakes . .. applied by a wheel and screw arrangement. The cylinders are magnesia packed . . . which cuts down heat losses. All moving parts are adjustable to take up wear. These engines will fit any ship and they have an exceedingly sturdy mounting. The mooring cable will break before they are pulled off. In addition to having a stock of these engines, immediately and conveniently avail- able for your needs, we have a complete stock of repair parts, ready for immediate delivery. No waiting for engines or parts. Such service is worth what it costs. Many engineers know it and depend upon us. Ihe AMERICAN SHIP BUILDING CO.
