SEATTLE, Sept. 18.-They're
using the air to make more room
for ship-building here.
David Rodgers, So, wise old
man of the sea, is the one who
showed builders how to turn the
trick.
His "Aerial Shipyard Convey
or" has revolutiOnized the indus
try. 1t has speeded up construc-
ton at a time when speed means
life to a world crying for cargo
carriers.
He was in a motion picture
theater in Vancouver, B. c.,
when he "got his bunch" for the
new conveyor.
Gets an Idea.
A picture flashed on the screen
showing the use of single line
overhead cable in logging opera
tons. Rodgers looked at the
fleeing film, chuckled and rush
ed from the theater, surprising
the audience with his sudden
burst of enthusiasm.
Then he came back to Seattle
and spread the blueprints before
the owners of the Skinner &
Eddy plant here, of which he is
superintendent.
"Clever idea, David" said
Messrs. Skinner and Eddy.
ut will cost about 100000
to place the conveyors in our
yards" said Rodgers.
us that ALL" answered the
owners. GO right ahead, Rodg-
ers."
It's a Wonder.
The conveyor, with its Crap
ping mechanism, is operated on
wire cables hoisted nigh in the
air over the building slips by inn
/, mense uprights. 1t is controlled
by electric stations on the
ground. being lowered and raised
by hosting cables.
The device picks up ten-ton
piece of steel with the ease of a
man handling baseball, hustles
it 100 feet into the air, carries
1t 200 feet and drops 1t handily
at the point of construction re-
iquired, all in the space of two
minutes by stop watch.
That's the trick Dave Rodgers
turned to speed up building OF
ships.
