wounded Dillinger, who hid in Mrs.
Salt S home for three days. Both

shielded the outlaw because of fear

parent, as we'll as protective one,
six months after her meeting with
Dillinger

will return to the boat for an

Imperial Valley press., 1934-05-23

Members of the board discussed
this proposal and were inclined in
its favor particularly because it
would be based on a comparatively
low figure and for that reason
would mean a great saving to the
district in the construction cost.
What appeals most to the di-
rectorS in the plan is that the
construction work might yet be
done by the district in spite of the
fact that because of inability to
post the necessary performance
bond, the district is precluded from
entering its bid to do the work.
At the conclusion of yesterdays
meeting the board adjourned un-
til Friday at which time this mat
ter is expected to receive further
consideration.

CAST HUGE ANCHORS
FOR GREAT STEAMER
Will Hold Big Vessel Against
Strongest Gale.

Glasgow.-Three giant anchors
and chains, each capable OF bearing
a load OF 69I tons. are being con-
structed for the Cunard- White Star
liner No. 53I. Two OF the anchors
are believed 10 be sufficient 10 hold
the vessel against the strongest gale
without the assistance OF the en-
Zines.
The port and starboard anchors,
weighing 10 tons each, will be In
the hawse-pipes. ready for instant
use, and the spare anchor. weighing
II tons, will be secured on deck and
put over side with a special crane
when required.
The port and starboard anchors
viii each have 900 feet OF chain ca
BILE attached. The links OF these
cables are feet long and As inches
In diameter. They are made OF
Siemen's Martin steel and are so
tough that they can be bent double
without showing signs OF fracture.
The cables are made In 9O-foOt
lengths, Shackled together, so that in
the rare event OF one carrying away
the broken length can easily be re-
moved for repair. The 15-fathom
lengths are tested to a breaking
strain OF 405 tons, and selected g.
link pieces have been put to a de-
struction test In which they frac-
tured under the enormous load of
6O4.3 tons.
The links are forged In two pieces,
and after they have been dreaded"
together they are put through an
electric welding machine which joins
the pieces. SO successful Is this
welding operation that under the de-
struction test the links fractured in
the solid metal and not In the weld
ed portion.
In New York and Cherbourg har-
bors No. 534 will anchor In about
ten fathoms OF water. In fine wealth
er she will use one anchor and 90
fathoms OF cable. In a heavy gale
she might have to use both anchors
with 70 to 90 fathoms OF cable out
on each.
