New Brochure Describes

Dillon's New Line Of

Digital Crane Scales

A four-page catalog of detailed engineering information describes the all-new digital crane scale available from W.C. Dillon &

Company, Inc. Twelve capacities are featured, ranging from 0- 2,000 pounds up to 0-50,000 pounds. Metric models are also offered, with capacities from 0- 1,000 kilograms to 0-20,000 kilo- grams. Accuracy charts indicate plus/minus 0.1 percent for ranges through 10,000 pounds (5,000 kilo- grams). Higher capacities are rated at plus/minus 0.25 percent of full range.

Additional data presents a di- mensional drawing of all models, detailing overall measurements, listing capacities, and showing net and gross weights for each range. A separate chart lists available tare compensation for each model (20 percent of full range), and incremental break- down by capacity. Electrical spe- cifications and significant fea- tures are shown for all models, including battery ratings and charger voltage requirements.

World Dulce (shown above) was completed recently at the Ariake

Works of Hitachi Zosen for King- dom Company S.A., Panama. This large-capacity bulker was devel- oped specifically to meet world industry's growing raw materials needs. Ore and coal will be her main cargoes.

Hitachi, for improved propulsion efficiency. Operation of the main engine is highly automated, as is deck machinery to simplify cargo handling and mooring. Built to

Lloyd's Register of Shipping clas- sification, the ship is operated with a complement of 35.

The World Dulce has an over- all length of 270.88 meters, beam of 43.00 meters, depth of 23.80 meters, and full-load summer draft of 16.352 meters (888.7 by 141 by 78 by 53.6 feet).
