cross sections, single jacketed, double jacketed, French
(outer edge open), inverted French (inner edge open), corrugated, one-way center flange for guide, two-way center flange for guide; flange types (with bolt .holes).
Solid Metal: Annular (plain or corrugated), flange types, washers, shims, special shapes and designs.
Reinforced Gaskets: For use on internal com bustion motors with high compression and those in tended for heavy duty service where extremes of heat, pressure or other unusual conditions are encountered, Victor has devised, developed and made available a number of exclusive designs of metal enclosed, reinforced gaskets. Victoloy Seamless (the flanged bottom layer at combustion openings is backed on the inside with an extra metallic flange); Double Overlap (both the top metal layer and the bottom metal layer are flanged around combustion openings, giving double protection);
VICTOR QUALITY AND WORKMANSHIP:
Superior quality is inherent with Victor products. Raw materials meet strict specifications, machine1 production is under constant surveillance and finished, products pass rigid inspections. Each Victor gask requires special tools made with skill and exactness.' The master tools of all are dies, intricately contrived, ac-, curately built and gauge-tested. Not one, but four o: more pairs of steel dies comprise the die set for a single metal-enclosed gasket pattern such as used in the, automobile cylinder head. Different blanking dies are needed for the copper layers and the asbestos layer. There's another set for forming and Still another for] binding the assembled layers together. Once the'; gasket is assembled and closed, no machining or other; alteration is possible--hence the need for accurate! dies. To preserve authenticity and insure accuracy,, Victor designs, builds and maintains its entire equips ment of dies representing an enormous investmen' Victor gaskets are supreme in accuracy and workman-,;,? ship and are regarded as standard the world over.
Triple Overlap (both top and bottom metal layers are
flanged around opening and an extra metallic flange is also provided); ITire Insert Seamless (the flanged bottom layer is backed by a seamless welded wire ring or in some cases a blanking from thick metal); Special designs including combinations of these types and other effective constructions.
CONSULTATION AND TECHNICAL SERVICE:
The Victor Company is devoted exclusively to the.3 making of gaskets and gasket materials. In its^ twenty years' experience there has been accumulated,; a large fund of valuable information which is freely j available to gasket users. When gasket problems are' encountered the Victor Company is always glad to assist.'. j
