Paceco Holds Third

International Conference

Paceco, Inc., a subsidiary of

Fruehauf Corporation, recently held its Third International Con- ference at the St. Francis Hotel in San Francisco, Calif. The con- ference was prepared for Paceco licensees from around the globe, and included both business and social events. The first interna- tional meetings were held in

Tokyo in 1968, and the second conference was held in Oakland,

Calif., in 1972.

The San Francisco conference consisted of papers presented by the licensee participants and the

Paceco personnel on the newest engineering and the most recent developments in container-han- dling equipment. Progress made with additional automation com- ponents for the Paceco MACH (Modular Automated Container

Handling) cranes was also dis- cussed.

Licensees were taken on tours of the Bay area container ter- minals and those in the Ports of

Long Beach and Los Angeles.

Another tour in the Bay area provided for the visitors a dem- onstration of Paceco's completely automated crane model. Separate tours were provided for the wives, one of which was a trip through the California Napa Valley wine country.

Secrets behind superior corrosion resistance and weldability

Fifteen years of use without replacement is ample proof of the superiority of this pipe. Naturally, there must be some pretty good reasons for it, and there are. The materials and methods of manufacture of this cargo oil pipe are unique in the world. The material is KCP-3L, a chrome manganese steel especially developed by Kubota. It is made by Kubota's exclusive centrifugal casting techniques, widely acknowledged to be of the highest technological level. The highest degree of weldability gives it the greatest facility of use. That is why a full 95% of all

Japanese tankers use Kubota cargo oil pipe. And why shipbuilders and repair docks around the world keep it on hand for installation and replacement. Write today for full information on how to raise the efficiency of your tanker operations.
