WABCO propulsion controls help in the search for North Sea oil.

The legendary North Sea is the toughest offshore oil area in the world. Treacherous 45- foot waves and 30-knot winds are routine. The conditions are tough on men—and tougher on equipment.

You'll find a lot of vessels there have WABCO

Panelmaster propulsion controls. Because our controls are dependable. And simple. They give you the fast response and fingertip con- trol you need ... when you need it. Factory- assembled with interlocks to prevent undesired functions and out-of-sequence operations.

They make a tough job easier.

Panelmaster systems are easy to install and service. They're standardized, too; your opera- tor can troubleshoot by radio, halfway around the world.

We can supply propulsion control for just about any vessel. And valves and cylinders for other shipboard uses, too.

Call us. We're there when you need us — worldwide.

Eastern Canadian Section, SNAME, and G. Southmayd, manager of constituent societies services, Canadian Society for Mechanical Engineering.

The Eastern Canadian Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers held a joint meeting in Montreal in December with the Canadian Institute of

Mechanical Engineers.

A paper titled "Considerations in

Design of Marine Installations and

Equipment for Cold Weather Serv- ice" was presented.

The paper was prepared and pre- sented by R.G.A. Lawrence,

P.Eng., C.Eng., Manager-Icebreak- er Development, Canadian Coast

Guard, and C.F. Collins, P.Eng.,

C.Eng., Chief-Marine Systems Di- vision, Shipbuilding Branch, De- partment of Supply and Services.

The authors discussed the vari- ous problems encountered with ships when operating in Arctic wa- ters. In designing ships to operate in this environment, special engi- neering consideration must be giv- en not only to main propulsion, but also to deck machinery.

After presentation of the paper, two excellent films were shown of

Arctic operation and navigational problems encountered in the Ca- nadian northern supply route. 8 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
