EDO Corporation Names

John Devine To Head

International Division

EDO Corporation, pioneer pro- ducer of aviation, oceanographic and electronic equipment, has an- nounced that it has named John

H. Devine Jr. as president of the company's International Division, which is headquartered at College

Point, N.Y. 11356. Mr. Devine succeeds Dewey A. Canessa, who has resigned.

Mr. Devine, who joined EDO

International in 1970 as general manager and assistant to the di- vision president, brings a wealth of marketing and technical expe- rience to his new post. He had previously served as an engineer in the development of radar and sonar systems at EDO — from 1955 to 1958 — before he joined the Sperry Gyroscope Division of

Sperry Rand, where as a senior research section head his activi- ties were devoted almost entirely to sonar development, a good part of his time being spent at sea on experimental programs.

Mr. Devine, a native of Brook- lyn, N.Y., holds bachelor's (1951) and master's (1957) degrees in electrical engineering from City

The Best Vent Valves in The Business

The Wager Inverted Vent Check Valve

Sizes lVi" to large 12"

Also supplied with covers.

You can see for yourself: we have given our vent valves everything—not just to meet (actually exceed) every marine spec in the book, but to give you a vent valve that is neat and clean in design, one of rugged components and good workmanship that will stand up, dependably and with long life, under the most punishing marine service you can give it.

No one comes even close in design, materials and workmanship—yet you can have Wager valves and pay about the same, sometimes surprisingly less than you might spend elsewhere.

This is the innovative "ball float" vent valve that Wager originated, perfected by us over the years. These Wager valves meet or exceed current ABS, USCG and NAVY specs.

Hundreds of thousands are in service—more going into service every day. Promptly shipped from stock inventory—by air to answer critical needs.

Once you install a Wager valve, you'll never touch another. These are the best vent valves in the business. Period.
