February 12, 2009 EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. - Diversified industrial manufacturer Eaton Corporation today announced it will be a key supplier in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers rehabilitation of the Main Channel Dam at the Emsworth Locks and Dams on the Ohio River near Pittsburgh. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Pittsburgh District is rehabilitating the Main and Back Dams at Emsworth, built in 1938, to ensure reliable navigation on the upper Ohio River. Joseph B.
