Maritime Electrical

Firm In St. Louis

Frank Jeffrey, who was formerly with Maritime Overseas Corpora- tion as electrical supervisor and more recently with George G.

Sharp & Company, has formed

Frank Jeffrey and Associates.

The principal services being of- fered are maintenance guidance systems for electrical and automat- ed equipment on shipboard. The system will allow a central office to direct shipboard electrical and control system maintenance on a monthly basis, and to analyze the feedback data so that needless fail- ure of equipment can be prevented, thus reducing maintenance cost, lost time and often demurrage. It is felt that as shipboard electrical equipment is becoming more and more complex, there is a need for such a system and also for special-

Navy Award To GE

To Conduct Study Of

Deep Dive Equipment

General Electric has received a $102,000 contract from the United

States Navy to conduct a four-month "contract definition study" of a new Aquanaut Equipment System (AES).

The study will be conducted by the

Ocean Systems Programs Depart- ment of GE'S Re-entry and Environ- mental Systems Division in Philadel- phia, Pa., for the Naval Ship Re- search and Development Laboratory,

Panama City, Fla.

The study is a preliminary step to design and development programs.

AES is part of a continuing program aimed at developing saturation div- ing equipment and related systems to improve the Navy's ability to live and work on the ocean floor at great depths for prolonged periods of time.

Development of the integrated deep-diver system will involve breath- ing apparatus, heater, environmental protection (helmet and suit), com- munications, topside monitors and propulsion aids. ized electrical consulting by people who are familiar with modern elec- trical practice and who have a va- riety of experience at their dis- posal, both domestic and foreign.

Other services being offered are new building inspection, repair su- pervision, plan approval, equipment inspection at plant, contract serv- ices and sea trial representation.

National Marine proudly presents a new member for your crew. It's the new-generation TUGMONITOR®

Safety Watch and Control System. Years of marine experience and technical skills have gone into the per- fection of this latest TUGMONITOR, creating substantial improvements in quality and reliability.

With a new TUGMONITOR aboard your vessel, you will have a Safety Watch and Control Service on con- stant duty. Backed by a fellow marine operator,

TUGMONITOR is an alert crew member... not just a collection of unrepairable electronics.

Should trouble, or even the threat of trouble, occur

TUGMONITOR'S watchful gauges alert the engine room and pilot house at once ... instantly pinpointing the problem. In cases of major malfunction, TUGMONITOR can be set to take either automatic remedial action or provide remote controls for doing so.

TUGMONITOR is a complete system keeping mechan- ical, electrical, fluid, temperature and pressure systems under constant surveillance.

Whether you plan to build a new boat, or retro-fit an older one, now's a good time to consider adding

TUGMONITOR to your crew. We build each unit to fit the individual vessel... at prices as low as $7,000. If you are interested in TUGMONITOR, we will be pleased to make a proposal for outfitting your vessel.
