Mr. Cantrill's appointment co- incides wth Lister's introduction of a new line of generating sets built specifically for the U.S. market.

Known as the Hawkpower brand, the line will cover the output range from 3 to 130 kw. The Hawkpower sets are constructed to a modular type design that allows the end user to tailor his purchase to whatever sophistication his particular appli- cation requires. Anything from a bare basic unit to a complete pack- age with full control panel and cir- cuit breakers can be specified.

Lister has been supplying air- cooled diesel engines for generation set applications in the U.S. since before World War II, but this is its first attempt to market a competi- tively priced set under its own brand identity. The Hawkpower line will be sold through Lister's present network of engine distribu- tors, who will also provide back-up parts and service. Circle 31

It's an era in which super-efficient"

Marathon equipment will help you meet today's special environmental challenges.

With rigs like our new

Super 300.

We've designed the Super 300 specifically for the harsh environment. Where conditions demand special endurance from a rig... but where larger, costlier equipment is just too much iron for the job.

And we've incorporated unique operating features that make drilling more efficient than ever. Fea- tures like our unique

The Super 300 gets its technological ped- igree from our hostile- environment Gorilla. And, like the Gorilla, the Super 300 is designed to work its territory expertly, thor- oughly, and cost-efficiently.

And work it like a son-of- a-gun.
