Sew York up ? jACK.rr^iLLf JACKSONVILK JACKSONVILLE FARDS & I ? ? Incorporated under the name Rawls Brothers Contractors, Inc. De Laval Names Cook Marketing Vice-President Hans G. Bauer Barton B. Cook Jr. Hans G. Bauer, senior vice-president of De Laval Turbine, Inc., Trenton, N.J., has an-nounced the election of Barton B. Cook Jr. as marketing vice-president of the company, a manufacturer of turbines, pumps, and compres-sors. Mr. Cook succeeds Mr. Eauer, who continues in overall management in charge of corporate sales activities. Mr. Bauer said the advance-ment was being made prior to his normal re-tirement date late this year "in order to insure the greatest degree of continuity in the trans-fer of this executive responsibility." Mr. Bauer has served De Laval since 1937, steadily assuming increasing responsibilities through management of the Turbine Division of the company and, more recently, senior vice-president on the corporate staff in charge of all De Laval marketing, and as a member of the board of directors. Mr. Cook has served in various executive capacities with De Laval since 1955. While his early service was primarily related to design and application of marine propulsion systems, his most recent assignment was manager of engineering for the Turbine Division, where he earned exposure to the industrial products of the company prior to assuming his new overall marketing responsibilities. William J. Holcombe, president of De Laval, said Mr. Bauer will continue as the senior mar-keting representative for De Laval until his retirement date, at which time it is anticipated he will continue as a director, while his day-to-day efforts will become advisory in nature. THE EXPANDING FLEET of Union Barge Line Corpor-ation welcomes another addition as the 5,000-hp towboat Northern slides into the Ohio River from the ways of Dravo Corporation's shipyards at Neville Island, Pa. The twin-screw diesel vessel is the ninth towboat in UBL's present fleet, which includes more than 380 barges. The expansion and modernization program also calls for the construction of ten liquid cargo barges to be completed in 1968. UBL is one of the largest common and contract carriers on the inland waterways, furnishing complete service throughout the Mississippi and Ohio River sys-tems and the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway. The Northern measures 168 by 40 by 11 feet and is powered by two 2,500-hp, 16-cylinder, turbocharged engines. The vessel is equipped with a full complement of modern navigation and communications equipment, including radar, swing indicator, fathometer, and radiotelephone. The crew's quarters, dining room, engineer's control room and pilot-house will be air conditioned. 30 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News MECHANICAL MARINE CO., INC. 45-15 37th Street, Long Island City 1, N.Y.
