Propellers '84 Scheduled

For May 15-16 At Cavalier

Hotel In Virginia Beach

The fourth in a series of inter- national symposia on ship propel- lers that have been attracting wide attention in the marine engineer- ing community for the past decade will be presented on May 15-16 at the Cavalier Hotel in Virginia

Beach, Va.

Titled Propellers '84, the meet- ing is being organized by the

Technical and Research Program of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the

Hampton Roads Section. A total of 21 papers on various aspects of marine propellers and related pro- pulsion components are scheduled for delivery at the symposium, the authors representing a cross sec- tion of expertise from Europe and

America.

Propellers '84 will be broader in scope than Propellers '75, '78, and '81 Symposia, and is intended to: • Make the nature and extent of the multi-disciplinary in- formation gaps regarding pro- pellers' strength clear to the marine community; • Provide the most up-to-date information available; • Provide an opportunity for the freest possible exchange of views on propeller strength and performance considera- tions that have not been firmly established; • Encourage the vitally needed research efforts to provide safe, long-lasting propellers having the very highest efficiencies; and • Obtain ship operator service experience input.

Chester L. Long, chairman of the Ships' Machinery Committee of SNAME, is general chairman of

Propellers '84, and Andrew A.

Szypula is chairman of the Tech- nical Committee, which is made up of the members of Panel M-16 (Modernization of Propulsion Shaft

Systems) of the Technical and Re- search Program of the Society.

Magnakote is the most economical soft chemical coating compound on the mar- ket: less than 3C per sq. ft.! No other soft coating gets near it for cost-effective tank & void space corrosion protection.

Magnakote is formulated for efficiency- no special surface preparation required prior to application (spray or float method).

A pioneering product of advanced, soft chemical coating technology, Magnakote is extremely durable. Thus, maintenance and repair costs are reduced significantly.

Spot repairs are easy. And, Magnakote re- moves quickly for overhauling. It's non- toxic, with a high flashpoint (320°F/160°C).

Magnakote—efficient, cost-cutting corro- sion protection.
