Dam Cableways Breaks Repair Completed Wed. Russell Hoffman, Detroit dam CBI engineer in charge of operations, re­ ported this week that two broken gear shafts delivering power to the two cableways used in concrete pour­ ing work were replaced and service restored Wednesday afternoon. Engineer Hoffman explained that the manufacturer’s standards on the cableway shafts were not equal to the job requirements; and that CBI re­ placed them by using shafts double the original standard. Some 36 hours after the first shaft one one of the cableways broke, its twin on the other cableway gave way, bringing concrete pouring operations to a halt via the cableway set-up. Concrete pouring, however, continued at a reduced rate by slower methods. Mr. Hoffman indicated that the dis­ abled cableways caused only slight disruption in operations with no wholesale employee lay-offs, even for short periods of time. No one was injured by falling machinery as a re­ sult of the severing of the two power shafts.
