New Engine Bulletin From Cooper-Bessemer A new 12-page bulletin presenting its line of LSV engines is now available from Cooper-Bessemer Company, a division of Cooper In-dustries, Inc. The versatile V-type, four-cycle engine, available in 12, 16 and 20 cylinder sizes, cov-ers a horsepower range from 3,400 to 7,750. These engines are manufactured to meet any fuel requirement?gas, diesel or dual-fuel? with equal reliability and dependability. Applications for the LSV cover a wide range of services, i.e., generator drive, reciprocating or centrifugal compressor drive, pump drive or marine propulsion. The bulletin presents in detail the economic advantages of the LSV along with many features which contribute to the engines' out-standing performance record. Copies of the bulletin, Number 77-4, may be obtained by writing Cooper-Bessemer Com-pany, Mount Vernon, Ohio 43050. Cooper-Bessemer is one of the world's larg-est manufacturers of heavy-duty power and compression equipment including gas, diesel and dual-fuel engines; reciprocating or cen-trifugal compressors; gas turbines, and con-trol systems. Lykes-Youngstown To Supply Propulsion Control System For Submarine Rescue Ships Lykes-Youngstown Corporation's Electron-ics Division has been awarded a contract to provide the propulsion control system for two of the U.S. Navy's new class of Sub-marine Rescue Ships. They are under con-struction at Alabama Dry Dock and Ship-building Company's plant in Mobile. THIS TUG HAS If ever a tug had pull, this one does. Made to take it, powered by two 500 HP Diesel Engines, this tug was delivered to Hawaii to maneuver ocean liners for Matson Navigation. Every piece of her was made to last. 65' x 20' x 10'6" and every inch a champion. Call on the master builders at ZIGLER SHIPYARDS to supply you with a tug that has pull. They never fail. Ask Zigler to send you a brochure. ZIGLER SHIPYARDS, INC. P. O. BOX 492, JENNINGS, LOUISIANA 70546, PHONE 318/824-2210 (LOCATED FIVE MILES EAST OF JENNINGS ON THF. MERMENTAU RIVER AT HIGHWAY 90) The Lykes system will enable an operator to control propulsion engine speed, propeller pitch, clutching and braking from a single control lever. Engine speed and propeller pitch will be automatically controlled over a wide power range to give the optimum revo-lution per minute to propeller pitch ratio. The control logic will be performed by solid state devices and integrated circuit modules. Known as the ASR Class, the two naval vessels will have catamaran hulls and are scheduled for completion in 1970 and 1971. Each hull will be 251 feet long and have a beam of 26 feet. The well between the hulls will be 34 feet wide, giving the ASR a maxi-mum beam of 86 feet. They will be equipped with four diesel engines producing 6,000 shp to twin propeller shafts, giving the ship a sus-tained speed of 15 knots. R.J. Baumler And J.S. Pugh Named To President's Staff At Newport News Shipbuilding R. J. Baumfer J. S. Pugh Recent additions to the company president's staff at Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company include R. J. Baumler and J. S. Pugh, according to L. C. Ackerman, shipyard president and chief executive officer. As an extension of the president's office, the staff positions are advisory and concerned with company planning and organization. Mr. Baumler will concentrate on manufac-turing and engineering and Mr. Pugh will be concerned with cost and control matters, the shipyard president announced. Mr. Baumler joined the shipyard in 1955, and prior to his new appointment, was assist-ant superintendent of its machinery division. A 1952 graduate of the State University of New York's Maritime College with a BS de-gree in marine engineering, Mr. Baumler served as an engineering officer aboard U.S. Line's SS America until 1953. From then un-til 1955, he served as a Navy lieutenant aboard a destroyer escort. He is former president of the Peninsula En-gineers Club and a member of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers and the Propeller Club. Mr. Pugh, a former U.S. Navy computer specialist, is a 1966 graduate of George Wash-ington University's graduate financial manage-ment program. His Navy assignments includ-ed that as a specialist and systems analyst with the Naval Command Systems Support Activity in Washington, D.C., and as director of the management control and information center aboard the attack aircraft carrier John F. Kennedy. He resigned from the Navy with the rank of lieutenant commander. A native of Kansas City, Mo., Mr. Pugh also is a graduate of the University of Mis-souri with a BS degree in mechanical engi-neering. He then was associated with Humble Oil Company before entering the Navy. Dur-ing his military service from 1960 to 1969, he served as a pilot and computer systems specialist with overseas duty in the Far East, South America, the Mediterranean, Hawaii and Alaska. 30 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
