Lykes Bros. Steamship

Signs Long-Term Pact

With Port Of Galveston

Lykes Bros. Steamship Com- pany, Inc., has agreed to pay the

Port of 'Galveston a minimum of nearly $500,000 over the next sev- eral years for use of Galveston's

East End Container Terminal.

In related actions, the port and

Lykes adjusted or merged into the new lease earlier agreements cov- ering several barge-handling facili- ties on both sides of the Galveston

Channel.

The entire package, approved by the port board and Lykes officials, calls for Lykes to pay a minimum sum of $488,980.50 at not less than $100,000 per year for non-preferen- tial call at the Wharves' East End

Container Terminal. "An important aspect of this package is that port revenues from

Lykes's usage is expected to ex- ceed the minimum guarantee, and we look forward to good business for Lykes as well as the Port of

Galveston," said C.S. Devoy, ex- ecutive director. "We have indicated to you that we will continue to maintain our operation of SEABEES (barge and container-carrying ships) through

Galveston," said R.E. Berkefeld, vice president, West Gulf Division for Lykes.

Mine Safety Appliances

Offers New Bulletin

On Gas Detection

A new bulletin describing con- tinuous combustible gas detection systems is available from Mine Safe- ty Appliances Company, Pittsburgh,

Pa.

Designed to indicate and warn of volatile vapors and gases before they reach the danger point, the Series 500 gas detection systems will de- tect the lower explosive limit of any gas or vapor whose molecular weight and explosive range are known.

The gas monitoring instruments are intended for use in detecting vapors from gasoline, LPG, natural gas, sewer gas, methane, hydrogen and other vapors. Monitoring may be accomplished at single or multiple locations at distances up to 5,000 feet from the vapor source.

The eight-page bulletin explains general characteristics, features and options, and technical data on the

Series 500 line of gas detection sys- tems.

For more complete and detailed information on Series 500 Combusti- ble Gas Detection Systems, request

Bulletin No. 0703-25 from Mine

Safety Appliances Company, Pitts- burgh, Pa. 15235.

Fed up with false flame indications?

Kockums Flame Guard tells you the truth.

Flame supervision in multi-burner installations has always been a tricky job.

And the high turn-down ratio ob- tained in recent years have made it even more tricky.

The reason for this is of course, that if you set the flame safeguard's trig level low enough to ensure indica- tion of a small flame, stray light and background emission will cause false flame indication on a non-lit burner if the neighbour burners are fired with high power.

The most exacting set of conditions occurs when one flame is failing, but still burning, while the others are burning properly. In this situation all conventional flame safeguards indicate flame.

Kockumg has found the way to solve the false-flame problem.

Our idea was to install a flame scanning system with one sensor for each burner. Each of these sensors is connected to an individual ampli- fier unit as well as a common highest-signal selector.

The signal from the latter one is distributed to the amplifiers and used for increasing the trig level when any one of the scanners picks up strong radiation. At low loads, the extremely low basic trig level is used, but as soon as any of the . burners is on high load all scanners get an increased trig level setting.

So, if there's a faulty flame or if there's no flame at all, Kockums

Flame Guard will tell you about it.

Immediately.

Kockums Flame Guard is designed with modern, solid state electronic components for reliable perfor- mance and simple installation and operation. It's avaliable in 4 ver- sions for installations with 2 to 4 burners. The central unit is built up in 19" standard with plug-in-modu- les for simple trouble-shooting and service. The non-aging, semicon- ductor-type sensors contain light- sensitive photo transistors. The sensors are fitted with adjusting tubes in air cooled housings.

External indicators for remote scanner signal indication can be connected to the scanners trough the central unit.

Kockums Flame Guard is a stock item and can be deliveried without
