Pauluhn Electric Opens

Houston, Texas Plant

Pauluhn Electric Mfg. Co., Inc., a major manufacturer of marine and industrial lighting fixtures and accessories, formerly located in

New York, has announced the opening of its new headquarters in Houston, Texas.

Situated on a 20-acre tract in

Pearland, Texas, a suburb adjacent to Houston, the new modern plant houses the main office, engineering and drafting department, new prod- uct and design department, manu- facturing-assembly and warehouse facilities. Looking to the future, adequate space has been provided for expansion and the capacity to handle any type and size contract.

Founded in the 1920s as a small machine shop doing specialty work in New York by a German tool and die maker, the firm began to grow when Paul Pauluhn was joined by

Sal V. Russo, who was experienced in the marine industry. Their com- bined talents brought the company up to a level as a major supplier in the repair yard business.

In 1963, new personnel in an ex- pansion program elevated Pauluhn into the new construction area.

The company is a major supplier of lighting fixtures and allied equip- ment on the 11 LASH vessels un- der construction at Avondale Ship- yards, Inc., New Orleans, La.

Like any good crew...

TUGMONITOR® Safety Watch and Control Systems come in all sizes, shapes and prices.

National Marine introduces a new generation of

TUGMONITOR Safety Watch and Control Systems — a vessel protection service as versatile as your crew.

The need for engine room monitoring and pilot house controls is obvious for diesel driven vessels.

Mechanical, electrical, fluid, pressure and temper- ature systems need constant supervision. But how sophisticated a system? The need varies from ves- sel to vessel. Operational functions, space limita- tions, even economics dictate the unit best suited to your requirements.

TUGMONITOR is now modular in construction, making it as versatile, as basic or complete as you wish; ranging from a simple engine protection sys- tem to a full unmanned engine room service. Years of experience stand behind this special long-life, high quality system. Prices start at $7,000.

This is a good time to consider adding TUGMON-

ITOR flexibility to your operations whether you plan to build a new boat, or up-date an older one.

Please call or write us for a proposal for outfitting your boat with a TUGMONITOR Safety Watch &

Control System custom-made to your special needs.
