SERVICING FORMER WAGNER MARINE STEERING GEAR & WAGNER AUTOPILOT SYSTEMS

Jastram is often asked to supply spare parts for steering gears manufactured by former Wagner Engineering Ltd., 40 Gostick Place, North Vancouver, B.C., Canada.

Wagner Engineering Ltd. went bankrupt in 1989.  Some of its key people founded Jastram Engineering Ltd. (see personnel) and started designing and manufacturing steering gears as well as servicing and selling replacement parts for old Wagner steering components.

Jastram Engineering Ltd is NOT Wagner Engineering Ltd. NOR does it claim the name "Wagner".

Jastram Engineering Ltd. warrants that all parts sold by Jastram meet or exceed original Wagner's specifications.  Where substituted parts are quoted in lieu of obsolete parts, Jastram warrants compatibility and interchangebility.

Key personnel of Jastram Engineering have substantial education and background in the field of ship engineering and ship steering systems including:

Mr. Peter Doetsch, P.Eng., President is a graduate in Mechanical Engineering from Aachen, Germany.  He has a background in the design and application engineering for ship components including a steering system proposal for the Canadian Navy's Patrol Frigate Program.  Prior to establishing Jastram he worked 6 years for Wagner Engineering Ltd. and was responsible for the design of the 'N' model cylinder and tiller series.

Mr. Frederick K. L. Wong, P.Eng., Vice President is a graduate of Simon Fraser University in applied mathematics and a graduate of University of British Columbia in applied science (mechanical).  Prior to cofounding Jastram he worked for 12 years with Wagner Engineering Ltd. to the position of Engineering Manager.  His major tasks included the design of the 'L' series steel cylinders and tillers and all commercial rotary vane steering gears as well as many major custom gear applications, including the hydraulic steering gear for the Canadian Patrol Frigate Program.

Mr. Lance A. Lidstone offers diverse experiences in engineering, manufacturing and computer aided design of steering gear systems.  Prior to joining Jastram he worked with Wagner Engineering Ltd. for 8 years as a CAD/CAM engineer.

Mr. Norm Howe brings 27 years of Wagner Engineering Ltd. experience with him into Jastram.   His scope of responsibilities included foreman of the hydraulic shop operations and international field service engineer.

Mr. W. Pfisterer has 32 years of Wagner Engineering Ltd. experience in manufacturing, process control and administration.  His last position was that of plant superintendent with the added responsibilities for R & D prototype manufacturing.

Obsolute items are parts which

1. changed due to technical improvements.
   (example:  original Wagner lockvalve body was made of aluminum, now it is made of cast iron)
2. are no longer available from sub-suppliers.
   (example:  original Vickers hydraulic solenoid valves are not manufactured anymore and are superceded by update version)
