Louis J. Cedrone

Appointed Sales Manager

Of Viking Supply

Louis J. Cedrone

Viking Supply Corporation,

Philadelphia, Pa., has announced the appointment of Louis J. Ced- rone as sales manager for the cor- poration. Mr. Cedrone had been sales manager for the Marine De- partment, York Division, Borg-

Warner Corporation. In his new position, Mr. Cedrone will be re- sponsible for the marketing and sales of marine products which Vi- king distributes. The company pri- marily is a supplier of marine, military, and government air-con- ditioning and refrigeration equip- ment. Mr. Cedrone is a graduate of Villanova University.

Rice Named Director of AMB Barge Train

Bill W. Rice has joined Ameri- can Metal Bearing Co. (AMB) of

Garden Grove, Calif, as director of its recently acquired Barge Train division. He is a program manage- ment, production, and sales spe- cialist with more than three de- cades of experience.

Barge Train's sole product is the

Flexor, a flexible steel and syn- thetic rubber connector that—for the first time—enables freight barges to be closely connected for open-water operation. More than 200 Flexors are in use with the

U.S. Navy and another 140 are on order.

AMB purchased Barge Train,

Inc., early this year from its foun- der, John Marriner. The firm re- cently announced a marketing program to introduce the Flexor to commercial shippers with the goal of having barge trains criss-cross- ing the world's oceans, seas, riv- ers, and lakes.

Announcing Mr. Rice's appoint- ment, AMB president Alan Du- commun said: "Bill Rice has to- tal responsibility for the naval and commercial domestic and foreign markets for the Flexor, as well as overseeing production. This is a doubly demanding assignment, but his experience very well qualifies him for it."
