Pneumatic logic, on which the system is based, has long been rec- ognized for its positive action and easy maintenance, even in the most hostile and hazardous envi- ronments. There are no exotic electronic components or circuitry, only simple valves and tubing with on-line connections, familiar to marine engineers. A typical Auto- cator fire detection system control- ler incorporates separate indica- tors for engine room and auxiliary areas, with test and alarm silence controls for each, and a fire loop reset. Also built into the system's pneumatic logic is continuous self- monitoring. Every Autocator sys- tem is tested by "System Simula- tion" before delivery and tested under actual operating conditions after installation.

Beaufort Air-Sea Equipment

Canada Ltd. is one of the world's leading manufacturers of survival equipment. During the past 40 years, the company has developed and manufactured a diverse range of equipment, now in worldwide use by some 300 shipping compa- nies and 45 navies.

Beaufort manufacturing plants are located in the U.K., Canada, and Australia, and sales are sup- ported by 250 government-ap- proved service centers throughout the world. The firm's liferafts carry the approval of all major maritime nations, with the latest addition to this list of approvals being the

United States.

A new range of liferafts are manufactured using two-ply nylon butyl coated fabric. This fabric possesses outstanding tensile and tear strength and carries a five- year warranty, with annual serv- ice carried out at an approved

Beaufort service center. Tradi- tional rubber-coated fabrics carry only a one-year warranty.

In addition to the standard throwover type liferafts, Beaufort manufactures davit-launched rafts.

This model, designed and ap- proved for deck davit launching, also has the advantage of being used if necessary as a conven- tional throwover raft. This dual- purpose liferaft is said to be ideal for existing offshore rig applica- tions, and will comply with future intended changes.

BRIT-AM Venture Marketing

Ltd. supplies a fire-resistant lining board known as Ultra-Board that helps minimize the risk of ship fires spreading. The non-combus- tible board is 100 percent asbes- tos-free, and is suitable for lining bulkheads, accommodation spaces, and especially for use in engine rooms.

Ultra-Board is also moisture-re- sistant, and is said to be easy to work with and install. The multi- purpose board is totally machina- ble, and suitable for drilling, nail- ing, stamping, bonding, and sand- ing. It does not shatter or break like asbestos board or other con- ventional products.

BRIT-AM says the economical new board is a cost-effective re- placement for traditional asbestos lining, exceeding its durability and fire resistance while eliminating the health hazards that the use of asbestos lining presents.

Ultra-Board is composed of ce- ment, bonded with cellulose and other organic fibers to provide added strength. It is available in convenient sizes, in four thick- nesses.

DU PONT

No other hazard threatens the loss of life aboard ship more than fire. That reality is a key reason for the marine industry's growing interest in fire systems that use

Du Pont's Halon 1301 as the ex- tinguishing agent. No other fire- extinguishing system stops fire faster that Halon 1301, which ex- tinguishes fast-spreading flamma- ble liquid fires in seconds.

Halon 1301 is a colorless, odor- less, electrically non-conductive (continued on page 28)
