February, 1916 THE MARINE REVIEW 27 McArthur Jacob’s Ladder This ladder, altho very compact when rolled for storage, is always ready for immediate service. It is absolutely safe and exceptionally convenient. It is made in sections of any desired length, which can be instantly connected by means of snap hooks, thus making it adaptable to light or loaded condition of ships, and eliminating the telescopic feature of the former type. The cable used in the manufacture of the McArthur Jacob’s Ladder is of plow steel, which combines lightness and strength. The steps are of sherardized iron, and have two tooth prongs giving a firm foothold. The hooks are of steel, and all rivets are copper. Are you ‘‘McArthur’”’ equipped ? McArthur Portable Fire Escape Co. Cleveland, O. Gentlemen: “IT used your Jacob’s Ladder all of the season of 1913 and have no fault to find with it. We did not have an accident of any kind while using it, and consider it the best thing for the purpose of land- ing men on the dock, that I know of today.’’—Charles A. Benham, Master of Steamer John Stanton. > “T find the McArthur Portable Jacob’s Ladder one of the most useful ladders on a ship for getting men ashore on dock and manning boats.”—Edward Fitch, Master Steamer Utley. “‘T used one of the McArthur Portable Ladders last season on the steamer La Belle, it being compact and giving the best satisfaction. I would hate to be without one and would recommend it to anyone.”’ —Capt. B. M. Landfair, Steamer La Belle. Please mention THE Marine Review when writing to Advertisers
