Newport News To Aid Boeing On ASMS Program Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Com-pany of Newport News, Va., has been awarded a $200,000 contract by The Boeing Company in connection with the Navy's Advanced Surface Missile System (ASMS) program. Under the contract, the company will provide naval architectural and marine engineering assist-ance and consultation for integration of the ASMS aboard operational-class ships. Newport News Shipbuilding, with an extensive background in naval engineering and construc-tion; was made a member of the Boeing ASMS industrial team because of its experience in initial design work of the naval defense system. The program's production phase will be sched-uled to coincide with the construction of a new class of guided missile ships (known as the DXG project) during the next decade. Currently, Boeing is one of three firms com-peting in a Navy contract definition phase on ASMS. In August 1969, the Navy will select a single contractor to continue into engineering de-velopment work on the system. Kocks Pittsburgh Furnishing Philadelphia Container Crane A contract covering a 45-ton capacity container crane has been received by Kocks Pittsburgh Corporation, Pittsburgh, Pa., from the City of Philadelphia. The giant crane will be among the largest of its type in the world, and will be in-stalled and ready for operation before the end of this year. This Kocks container crane will be similar to Kocks installations in Antwerp, Breman and Bremerhaven. The unit will serve a land backup area of 94 feet, compared with 30 to 40 feet backup areas for conventional container cranes. The crane will handle 20- and 40-foot contain-ers and also will provide for quick adaptation to general cargo use, bucket handling and scrap handling by magnet. The Kocks crane for Philadelphia will feature a hoisting unit attached directly to the trolley. This design feature is said to reduce maintenance costs substantially. The unit is a wide-gauge mod-el with 90 feet between the tracks. The wide gauge design eliminates need for counterweights. Detroit Diesel Sets Gas-Turbine Schedule Detroit Diesel Engine Division of General Motors Corporation has reported that its 280-hp industrial gas-turbine is scheduled for initial pro-duction in mid-1971 following extensive field testing. Long-run plans call for a series of four basic gas-turbine models ranging up to 2,000-hp. In making the announcement, C. W. Trux-ell, the division's general manager stated, "Eventually the turbine will supplement our diesel engine sales which reached record shipments of over 95,000 units in 1968. Our future outlook for diesel engine sales is so strong that we fully expect new records for 1969." From the beginning of the gas-turbine project, Detroit Diesel has designed its industrial gas-turbine for use in a variety of industries ranging from construction equipment and marine applica-tions to generator sets and highway trucks and buses. Currently, diesels are sold to these markets through 630 manufacturers for use in more than 3,800 different applications; Detroit Diesel's gas-turbine is intended to enhance and broaden the division's power coverage in all markets. The time from now until the scheduled initial production date of mid-1971 will be taken up by an extensive field testing program. It is expected that initial sales would be to the markets most in need of the turbine's unique advantages. Among these unique advantages are: compact size, light weight, vibrationless operation, low exhaust emis-sions, low noise level, low oil consumption and easy starting.
