A new boat like this needs a new engine oil likeTornus. Dravo-built Lillian Clark (above) and sister ship Rita Barta are Mississippi Valley Barge Line's newest boats for tow service on the middle and lower Mississippi. Photo, left, Shell Representative Vern Barth (right) checks operating data with Lillian Clark's Chief Engineer Tim Perry. Each of the Lillian Clark's two new-series 20-cylinder GM diesels weighs less than 50,000 pounds and is rated at 3,225 continuous bhp at 800 rpm. The crankcase lubricant is Shell's new Tornus Oil. This additive package is precisely matched to an improved; extremely stable base oil. Result: a lubricant with outstanding high-temperature perform-ance. For details on Shell Tornus Oil, call your Shell Marine Representative. Or write Shell Oil Company, Room 3417 E, 50 West 50th Street, New York, New York 10020. You are looking at the first towboat on the Mississippi with engines that pack twice as much power per pound as pre-vious diesels of comparable rating. It's also the first boat on the River powered by engines lubricated with Shell's new Tornus Oil. Tornus Oil contains an exclusive additive package to resist deposit forma-tion and protect the engine against wear.
