rived from all phases of transmis- sion work, and the close cooperation and intensive exchange of ideas be- tween ZF development departments and engine manufacturers and ship- yards worldwide. ZF invests a large and ever- increasing proportion of its annual turnover in research and develop- ment. Intensive testing is an inte- gral part of all development, re- search, and production phases. Test teams are at work constantly in laboratories, at test rigs, and in the field. A highly qualified production staff has the necessary experience, and a very high standard of quality is achieved by a sophisticated quali- ty assurance system. Among the advantages of ZF ma- rine gearboxes noted in the bro- chure are: small dimensions and maximum torque; use of expertly and carefully selected materials; lu- bricants carried to gears and bear- ings at the optimum rate through purpose-designed pressure systems; quiet running; lightweight but ro- bust; rapid-acting clutches; easy ser- vicing and overhauling; and reliabil- ity and long life. Shown in cutaway drawings are ZF gearboxes for fast craft, work- boats and crewboats, Navy vessels, port authority craft, lifeboats, fer- ries, and passenger vessels. ZF is represented in the U.S. by ZF of North America, Inc., Lincoln- shire, 111. • Limitorque Offers Color Brochure On 'T' Series Worm Gear Operator A six-page color brochure pro- vides details on Limitorque's new quarter-turn "T" Series worm gear operator featuring a high strength cast iron enclosure, and O-ring seals for permanent lubrication.
