Annual Meeting — A Preview (continued) sion to the Exposition. If you do not register for the Society's Technical

Sessions, tickets for daily admission will be available at the Exposition

Desk at $7 each.

MEETING

COURSES

The Society's Education Commit- tee is sponsoring two courses, "Fiber

Optics Technology for Marine Engi- neers and Naval Architects" and "Forensic Engineering and the Ex- pert Witness," on November 8 and 9 at the Hilton. Registraints are enti- tled to Annual Meeting room rates and a partial rebate on Annual

Meeting registration fees.

The "Fiber Optics Technology for

Marine Engineers and Naval Archi- tects" course will provide decision- makers with a better understanding of the capabilities of this new and growing technology, emphasizing re- alistic and practical marine applica- tions.

A workshop type approach will be used for the course in "Forensic

Engineering and the Expert Wit-

No ship is too small... to install an EVAC vacuum toilet system.

If you need an economical; system for your ship (50 feet or longer), choose EVAC. EVAC has two standard models:

Model 0111 — allows you to utilize your ship's hull tank, and;

Model 1111 — includes our atmospheric holding tank.

Both models have the same standard design and components; therefore, you do not pay for special design engineering. You do receive high quality components with a proven history of reliability.

EVAC vacuum toilet systems already exist in over 2,000 ships worldwide. Model 0111 and Model 1111, with one or two pumps, are avail- able from stock to ex- pedite delivery. vacuum piping from toilets recirculating pump

Our tank atmospheric holding tank

Benefits for both models: • low volume fresh water flush toilet (2 pints/flush)... 10 man crew produces 15 gals, of sewage/day • small diameter piping... 1-1/2" and 2" • piping layout flexibility... with vertical lift • reduced holding tank size... 80% smaller • toilet vents eliminated

TECHNICAL PAPERS

Thursday, November 10

Trianon Ballroom 9 a.m.—Seakeeping and Ex- treme Tensions in Offshore Tow- ing," by Jerome H. Milgram,

Michael S. Triantafyllou, Fer- nando C. Frimm and George

Anagnostou.

A 12-degree-of-freedom seakeep- ing theory is developed and used for a tug, tow and towline in the open ocean. Statistics of nonlinear ex- treme tensions are determined and used. The principal non-linearity is due to mechanics of the towline.

Examples are presented showing how speed and towline length can be adjusted to limit towline damage risk. 10:30 a.m.—"Measurement of

Ship Resistance, Powering and Ma- neuvering Coefficients from Simple

Trials During a Regular Voyage," by

Martin A. Abkowitz and

Gengshen Liu.

Data obtained by ship instrumen- tation from a few simple trials of the 75,000-dwt Exxon Philadelphia dur- (continued) 22
