James A. Farrell Jr., chairman of the board of Farrell Lines In- corporated, New York, N.Y., an- nounced at a meeting recently the election of George F. Lowman as chairman of the executive commit- tee of Farrell Lines. Mr. Lowman had been appointed a member of the board of directors January 1, 1967.

Mr. Lowman is a senior partner of the law firm of Cummings &

Lockwood in Stamford, Conn., and is a graduate of Harvard College and Harvard Law School. He holds the commission of lieutenant colo- nel in the U.S. Army Reserve.

Waukesha To Market

Swedish Engines

Waukesha Motor Company, Wau- kesha, Wis., manufacturer of gas and diesel engines and energy sys- tems, has announced a joint program with the Saab-Scania Company of

Sodertalje, Sweden, in which the

Wisconsin-based firm will become exclusive industrial sales and service representative for Scania diesel en- gines in the United States and

Canada.

The line includes industrial die- sel engines from 118 to 384 horse- power, marine diesel propulsion engines from 85 to 249 horsepower, and a line of diesel generator sets from 50 to 200 kilowatts. The latter will be marketed under the name

Enginator (R), which is a Wau- kesha trade name.

The arrangement is mutually bene- ficial for several reasons, according to Robert A. D'Amour, president of the Waukesha Motor Company, since the 85 to 384 horsepower range of Scania engines fills out the Wau- kesha diesel line. At the present time,

Mr. D'Amour said, the firm's VC

Series high-speed diesel engines range from 300 to 1,100 horsepower, and the VHP Series engines operate from 500 to 1,750 horsepower for station- ary applications. By filling out this important middle-range, the Scania engines have been accepted by Wau- kesha distributors in the United

States and Canada as an extremely welcome addition to the line.
