Western Gear Works Sergeant Police. In San Francisco, Western Gear reduction gear boxes were incorporated to power the drums that move 21,500 feet of underground mechanical cable to operate the city's cable car system. Gear boxes made by Western Gear also powered many of the unlimited hydroplanes that raced on Lake Washington in the 1950s, including the Slo-mo-shun boats. Western Gear experts stood by on race weekends to make emergency repairs if needed for a boat to stay in the race. Meanwhile, the company negotiated with Global Marine Corporation of California for a large contract to design and build shipboard heavy lift machinery to raise 14 million pounds of material from the Pacific Ocean floor 17,000 feet below. The machinery would be installed on the Hughes Glomar Explorer. Nothing like this had ever been done before. Western Gear won the contract and people came back to work, some after only two weeks of layoff. Howard Hughes’s Summa Corporation was building the ship and a mechanical mining machine to harvest mineral-rich manganese nodules. The 619-foot-long Glomar Explorer would carry high-strength stainless-steel 60-foot pipe sections with threaded ends to join them together. The pipe string was suspended through a center opening in the hull of the ship, with the mining machine attached at the end. The Western Gear heavy lift system raised and lowered the pipe, joined the pipe sections together, and supported the weight of suspended pipe string and mining machine. A gimbal allowed swivel motion, and heave compensators worked as shock absorbers to prevent ship movement caused by waves from damaging the pipe string. Western Gear designed and built all the machinery and electronic control system to do the job. Ten 6-foot-tall enclosures housed more than 2,000 printed circuit boards that controlled the operation of 48 hydraulic pumps and operation of the lift system. At the time this was the largest hydraulic system ever built. Howard Hughes was the customer and required top-level secrecy. Global Marine engineers had offices on site at Western Gear in a building that had housed Civil Defense offices through the 1940s and 1950s. A secure conference room with boarded-over windows, sound proofing, and a secure dual-door entrance was prepared for project meetings. To support the mining story, Global Marine engineers handed out manganese nodules to Everett people working on the project.
