Whitney Corp., Rock- ford, 111., an Esterline Company (NYSE), the leading manufac- turer of metal fabricating ma- chinery and the originator of 28XX style tooling, recently in- troduced a new combination cat- alog and price list on their 28XX style punches and dies. These punches and dies are used in W.A. Whitney panelmasters, du- plicators and scale gaging presses. This new catalog, PD-77, de- scribes in detail the different styles of 28XX tooling available, as well as prices of each in an easy-to-use fashion. Prices of standard round, square, rectangle and obround punches are listed alongside each punch size for easy reference. Dies are treated in like manner, with five sizes of clear- ance available for each punch size listed. Also included are many special application tooling sets such as radius corner, louvre, keyhole, electrical knockout, corner notch- ing, countersinking and many others. The catalog also contains a die clearance chart, as well as other engineering information to aid the fabricator in the selection and use of his tooling. PD-77 explains W.A. Whitney's Punch and Die Division, which is set up specifically for the manu- facturing of tooling. Separate production and inspection depart- ments are employed, and the di- vision has its own engineering staff. For your free copy of PD-77, write to Harry Conn, Punch and Die Division, W.A.

Swan Hunter To Build Vessel To Transport Spent Nuclear Fuels Swan Hunter Shipbuilders Lim- ited of Great Britain have re- ceived an order to build a special- ized vessel costing approximately $8,750,000 to carry spent nuclear fuel from Japan to France and the United Kingdom. The ship has been ordered by Pacific Nuclear Transport, a sub- sidiary of British Nuclear Fuels Limited. Believed to be the world's first purpose-built nuclear waste car- rier, the 3,200-dwt twin-screw vessel is scheduled for delivery toward the end of 1978. To meet the many stringent safety regu- lations involved, it will be of specialized construction, with double-skinned holds and addi- tional navigational and firefight- ing equipment. The approximate dimensions of the vessel are: length overall, 338 feet; molded breadth, 53 feet, and molded depth, 31 feet. The main propulsion machinery will consist of British manufactured diesel engines. Pacific Nuclear Transport has a contract worth about $262,500,000 to ship spent fuel from Japan to France and the United Kingdom. The new vessel will carry the spent fuel from Japan to France, discharging at Cap Le Havre. Choose International Marine Coatings and the sea of confusion calms down.
