LA. 504 ? 822-7272 Edo Supplying Navy Survey Ships' Sonar Edo Western Corporation is supplying several long range scanning sonars to the U.S. Navy Oceanographic Office for use on survey ships. The Model 378 scanning sonar will provide ob-stacle avoidance information over a maximum range of 4,000 yards and will also be employed in search missions for locating lost or sunken objects. Configured from Standard Edo Western components and utilizing a time tested transducer, the Model 378 offers maximum reliability. In addition, its modular construction provides ease of service and a unique flexibility for variable operating parameters or interface with other equipments. The Model 248A transceiver and the Model 333 precision bathymetric recorder, fundamental building blocks of this system, are standard in-struments on many navy ships and this redun-dancy will greatly ease the logistics problem of spares for many varied equipments. This new scanning sonar is now available for commercial sale and literature is available on re-quest from Edo Western Corporation, 2645 South 2nd West, Salt Lake City, Utah 84115.

Steam Turbine Orders Totaling 1,000,000 Shp Given Stal-Laval In 1968 The success of the Stal-Laval AP Marine Steam Turbine design is now a matter of sta-tistical record. In 1968 alone, orders were placed for units developing over 1,000,900 shp. This brings the total number of AP units in service and on order to 112, with an output exceeding 3-million horsepower. The Swedish turbine manufacturer has made a major contribution to meet the demand for higher powers to propel larger tankers and faster containerships, with its standard single-plane powerplant utilizing planetary gearing. The Mat-son Navigation Company now has four such machines on order for new containerships, the first two of which will be installed in 1969 at the Bethlehem Steel Shipyard in Baltimore, Md. Considering all the turbine-powered container-ships on order, Stal-Laval will deliver 42 percent of the propulsion plants. Even more impressive is the large number of AP units scheduled for tankers, combination, and bulk carriers of the 100,000-dwt class and over. A check of the worldwide order book for ships in this category shows 32.2 percent of the steam-driven vessels will use Stal-Laval. The next closest turbine builder holds 21.3 percent of the available market, and the combined order book for the three leading Japanese turbine manufac-turers only slightly exceeds that of Stal-Laval.
