DEVELOPMENT The net jiurdy we developed (Figure 'â )) incorporated many of llie features of the commercial ourdies but was adapted to our particular needs by beiiifj; self-contained so il coidd be removed from the skiff when not in use. The gurdy was powered by a three-horsepower Brio-jis and Stratton, alumiinim block, air cooled, <iasoline eu<iiiie. This en'ine was chosen because of initial low cost and ready availal)ility of spare parts. Power is transmitted fi-om the engine to the reduction gear by a double v-belt drive. A speed reducer having a gear ratio of 35: 1 was installed. The engine geared down tlirough a 6:1 reduction gear, de- veloped a driveshaft speed of (iOO which was further reduced by a ratio of "2 A in the pulleys, giving a final speed of 28 at the gurdy head. This speed is ideal for pulling nets. The gurdy head was constructed of two steel tank ends, vulcanized and bolted together with a wooden spacer. The wooden spacer was used to keep anchor lines from cutting through the vulcanized gurdy faces. The ccmiponents were mounted on a piece of alumiinnn alloy deck ]date with aluminum channel bi-ackets. The cover framework was con- structed of aluminum angle material and the entire luiit was covered with one-fourth-inch marine plywood to keep nets from becoming en- tangled in the machinery and to kec^j) excess salt wa
