Foxboro Appoints

LeCrone Manager U.S.

Marine Systems Sales

Robert C. LeCrone

Robert C. LeCrone has been ap- pointed manager of U.S. marine systems sales at The Foxboro Com- pany, Foxboro, Mass. 02035. The announcement was made by Colin

I. Baxter, vice president and U.S. general manager.

The Foxlboro Company is a lead- ing, supplier of instrumentation and systems for process management and control, with manufacturing, sales, and service facilities located in principal cities around the world.

The company has been very active in the recent surge toward ship- board instrumentation brought on by the demands of the larger, more complicated VLCCs (very large crude carriers) and LNG (lique- fied natural gas) tankers. The ma- rine systems sales group was form- ed to centralize and expand upon this already existing activity.

Mr. LeCrone received his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Pennsylvania State Univer- sity. He joined Foxboro in 1966 as a field sales engineer in the

Charleston, W. Va., office and was promoted to senior field sales en- gineer two years later. In 1970, he was transferred to Fox!boro, Mass., as senior industry sales engineer in the Oil and Gas Industry Di- vision. 230,000-Dwt Tanker
