Gwynedd Equipment Supplies

Engine Consulting Service

A personalized consulting service on tape—-

CONSULTAPE—has been introduced to the marine field by Gwynedd Equipment Serv- ices, Inc., Gwynedd, Pa.

This service is available to manufacturers and customers a'ike for their mutual benefit and is offered on a subscription basis.

The GES organization operates throughout

North America and specializes in providing field technical service assistance to owners and operators of diesel engine equipment—not entering into competition with the manufac- turer, but attempting to comp'ement its serv- ices. To that end, GES has immediately avail- able the added simplicity of CONSULTAPE assistance for operating engineers and man- agement—to seek and receive their answers by word of mouth.

The method is to place the questions on tape (utilizing a standard type tape recorder/play- er unit) while actually at the equipment site and involved in a questionable situation and then mail or telephone that message to GES or a "participating equipment manufacturer or dealer subscriber." The reply to such a taped message is then processed and returned in a like manner, providing not only the answer but a confirming copy for reference.

William E. Newton, who was the assistant east coast service manager for the former

Cleveland Diesel Engine Division (merged with Electro-Motive Division) of General

Motors, is president of Gwynedd Equipment

Services, Inc. Mr. Newton's background to provide technical assistance in achieving pre- ventive maintenance objectives stems from years of engine experience (primarily General

Motors) in the marine and stationary fields.

Supplementing this is an engine background with GMC Truck and Coach Division and a mechanical packing sales and service engineer- ing background with France Packing (a Gar- lock subsidiary).

CONSULTAPE service can be obtained from
