Use 'em over and over again Oarf's True flail Joint Ma&cs the Difference \ Dart Unionj are leakproof on ibe pipeline and on the pocketbook. They're spherically ground to a true ball joint with wide, true-beoring surfaces. Because seats stay unscarred and true, these unions won't leak---and you can use them on job after job. QUICK FACTS SEATS of special olloy brontc proride high resistance to pitting and corrosion . BODIES AND NUTS are practically indestructible. They're airrefined, high test iron SHOULDERS are tough and heavy -- made to take the most violent wrenching Ask your supplier for Darts. You'll save money and leaks. And, if you do the install ing job yourself, you'll save muscle and sweat also!

Vibration Cut-out switches, exclusive with Fluor Cooling Queers, are an emergency safely device that slops the motor should excessive mibn'accidentally occur, preventing possible damage lo the tower or r'isn(dU equipment. Design employing Internal gusset plates duplicates U used in wooden bridge construction. These connectors add greater tensile Jjxf'Cotnpressive strength to structural members, lower the total weight of ftri, require less erection time and materially increase tower life. Sloping Rfa decks of rough-finished redwood with minimum one-inch dimension are K,`~ed is scaffolding during erection end provide maximum deck surface with liable air pressure drop through the tower.

Approach to tha desired wet-bulb temperature is easily accomplished and performance to customer's specifica tions Is guaranteed In every ease. Only Fluor Counterfto Cooling Towers ore completely prefabricated. All cutting, drilling, and nailing is performed at the factory and lower parts are "packaged" for rapid delivery, marked for orderly assembly. More efficient control of the quality of straight-groined heart of California redwood and excellent workmanship in Fluor towers are maintained through prefabrication. Inexperienced craftsmen and laborers under Fluor'a supervision can erect a Fluor tower in a minimum of lime and at considerable savings In erection costs. Prefabrication means standardization; parti that may become worn or damaged over the years may be replaced economically. Uniformity of appearance os well as performance is assured. jpxBS SUBS WITH Ppo0wwci* ti j- 11
