Stanley Introduces New

Hydraulic Air Compressor —Brochure Available

Stanley Hydraulic Tools, Mil- waukie, Ore., manufacturer of a complete line of hydraulic pow- ered hand tools for construction, utilities, municipalities, and ma- rine use, has introduced its new

AC24 hydraulic air compressor.

Compact and easy to operate, the AC24 is powered by a direct- drive hydraulic motor. It pro- vides ample capacity for gas line testing and for operation with the Stanley SK58 sinker drill, for chip removal, without the need for a bulky pneumatic air com- pressor.

Producing 24 scfm at 100 psi, the AC24 includes an aftercooler and an adjustable automatic com- pressor unloader valve.

Ship Microcomputers

Discussed At SNAME

Northern California

A paper entitled "The Design and Selection of Shipboard Micro- computer Systems" was presented at a recent meeting of the North- ern California Section of The So- ciety of Naval Architects and

Marine Engineers held in San

Francisco.

Stanley Stockdale, senior asso- ciate of David J. Seymour, Ltd.,

San Bruno, discussed the char- acteristics of microcomputer sys- tems, and their use on ships to automate navigation equipment, control autopilots, monitor en- gine room alarms, record vessel motions and stress levels, and cal- culate vessel trim, stability and longitudinal strength. Mr. Stock- dale offered guidelines for the successful implementation of a shipboard computer system.

An unusual aspect of the lec- ture was Mr. Stockdale's on-stage use of an Apple III microcom- puter and a large video screen to project the computer output. The audience of about 150 watched the computer's response as Mr.

Stockdale demonstrated aspects of strength and stability pro- grams he had written.

The lecture was the first of a regular monthly series of meet- ings of the Northern California

Section of The Society of Naval

Architects and Marine Engineers in 1981-1982. Copies of the paper are available from R. Keith

Michel, Papers Committee, Her- bert Engineering, 88 First Street,

San Francisco, Calif. 94105.

Aeroquip Introduces New

Fire-Resistant Hose —Literature Available

Aeroquip Corporation of Jack- son, Mich., has added a new mem- ber to its family of AQP hose styles—FC234 AQP fire-resistant hose. Developed by Aeroquip for the Industrial Division, FC234 hose has proven to be a superior fuel line for critical marine ap- plications in commercial marine, industrial marine, and industrial equipment markets.

Aeroquip FC234 AQP hose fea- tures a highly visible blue cover that will not support combustion, and a permanently embossed lay- line. The smaller sizes also feature a built-in woven refractory fiber insulation layer that maintains fire-resistance without extra sleeves or asbestos fiber. The FC- 234 hose survives exposure for 21 L> minutes in a gasoline-fed fire with peak temperatures beyond 1200 F.

Aeroquip engineers developed

FC234 hose to meet U.S. Coast

Guard (46CFR56.60-25c) and Un- derwriters Laboratories fire test requirements (UL-1114) without a separate firesleeve. Aeroquip

FC234 hose is said to be easier to assemble and install than con- ventional hose covered with a sleeve, and is less expensive than sleeve-protected hose styles de- signed for comparable use.

The new FC234 hose, like all

Aeroquip AQP hoses, incorpo- rates a tube and cover made from a superior elastomeric material which offers broad fluid compat- ibility and indefinite shelf life.
