Mooring The Largest Self- Ploading Ship In The World THE LEADING SHIPS i CARRY THIS WINCH The Johnson-Jett Winches may be observed in operation on THE T. W. ROBINSON and THE CARL D. BRAD- LEY, owned and operated by The Bradiey Transportation Co.,. a subsidiary of the Wnited States Steel Corpora- tion, on THE HENRY FORD and THE BENSON FORD, owned and operated by The Ford Motor Co. (Henry Ford) and on the Car Ferry WA- BASH, owned and operated by The Wabash Railroad. The Johnson-Jett Automatic Constant Tension Electric Mooring Winch Money can be saved in operating cost by equipping ships with the Johnson-Jett Winch. A valveble feature of this winch is a remote control located at the side of the ship where the operator can see both the winches and the man on the dock. Operators of ships equipped with steam winches are inves- tigating, and it is only a question of time when the up-to-date operator will replace his steam winches with modern Electric Winches. Builders of new ships will avoid makinga regrettable mistake by investigating the Johnson-Jett Electric Winch before deciding on equipment.
