Lockheed's

SCIENTERRIFIC ship repair facilities

The story of our new tenth-scale lofting system — whereby a scanner follows a tenth-scale pattern and guides automatic machinery to precision-cut steel to the exact size and shape required —is too unusual for ordinary words.

So, we coined a term for this amazing per- formance—SCIENTERRIFIC! It's in direct con- trast to another phase of LSCC's versatility- talented human facilities for splicing rope, or managing complex machines. This versatility pays off in faster, better repairs for you. That's why Lockheed is called the "now" shipyard. If you need us, call. Now!

He further added that this acquisition will increase Frue- hauf's capability to provide service and repair facilities to oceangoing vessels and container-ships at the growing ports along the southeast- ern seaboard, supplementing such services available through Mary- land Shipbuilding.
