Alexander Industries

Alexander Industries, Inc. has been appointed exclusive sales agent for Camlock Flange Sales

Corp. (C-L Couplings), covering the area of Texas, Louisiana,

Mississippi, Arkansas, and Ala- bama.

The patented C-L Coupling rep- resents a revolutionary break- |""H LITTON SYSTEMS

Litton AUTOMATED MARINE through in the connection of in- dustrial size hoses used for the transfer of chemicals, petroleum products, food, water, waste prod- ucts, fertilizer, cement and a mul- titude of other bulk products in liquid, powder, slurry and gaseous form.

The C-L Coupling represents a modern application of the helical can pressure principle which sub- stitutes two to nine (depending

LIMITED on flange diameter) quickly tight- ened cams for cumbersome nuts and studs. A permanently located "0" ring replaces the convention- al flange gasket and may be used again and again with no loss of efficiency.

The C-L Coupling is vibration proof, tough and dependable in sizes from 2 inches to 27 inches in variety of materials with "0" rings for any application, and also corrosion resistant and fac- tory tested at 450 psi. ASA flanges are available on special order, as are special cryogenic

C-L couplings usable to 320°F, all approved by governmental agencies and regulatory bodies throughout the world and meet- ing all requirements of the United

States Coast Guard.

Alexander Industries will rep- resent the C-L Coupling line through its offices in New Or- leans, La., and Houston, Texas.

George H. Manchester

George H. Manchester has joined Uniflite, Inc., fire-retard- ant fiberglass boat manufacturer headquartered in Bellingham,

Wash., as manager of commercial and military sales, according to

Alva M. Hill, vice president of marketing. The company has a second plant in Swansboro, N.C.

Mr. Manchester has responsi- bility for worldwide sales of Uni- flite boats 18 to 56 feet for a wide variety of commercial and gov- ernmental applications, including fishing, law enforcement, rescue, firefighting, medical emergencies, sightseeing and excursions, and special purpose-military assign- ments.

Uniflite boats comply with the

U.S. Coast Guard regulations that require fiberglass vessels under 100 gross tons that carry more than six passengers for hire to be constructed of fire-retardant resins. It is also the only line of boats qualifying for classification and labeling by Underwriters'

Laboratories (UL), attesting to the fire retardance and strength of the hulls. The company is also the largest builder of fiberglass boats for the U.S. Navy.

Mr. Manchester comes to Uni- flite following three years as pres- ident of Offshore Marine, Inc., also Bellingham, a builder of sport and commercial fishing boats. Prior to that, he spent al- most 20 years with Black and

Decker Mfg., in several capacities, including regional sales manager, industrial construction project management, and sales develop- ment training. Earlier, he was with Porter Cable Machine Co. would you buy it?

Because the last thing you want is costly ship breakdowns, the first thing you need is a Litton

MTAS-1000 computer-based Marine Trend

Analysis System. Originally designed for military applications, the MTAS has proven its dependabil- ity and operational capabilities in the rugged marine environment. Here are some of the ways the Litton Trend System will go to work for you.

It will guide the ship's engineer in setting up the steam propulsion plant to operate at peak efficien- cy. This will not only save on fuel, but will also significantly reduce the time in getting underway.

During the voyage, the MTAS will continuously monitor the performance of the overall power plant and associated machinery to detect any deviation or degradation from the norm, suffi- ciently early to avoid plant failure. Hard copy diagnostic print-out also provides direction for convenient preventative maintenance action.

Its network of sensors continuously accumu- lates data from the boilers, propulsion turbine, condenser, feedwater pumps and heaters, forced draftfans, electric power turbogenerator, lubricat- ing oil systems and other important machinery. It will even detect an excess rate of marine growth accumulation on the ship's hull.

The system has been so designed with proven, advanced concepts of self-test so that no special skills are needed to operate or maintain it.

The Litton MTAS-1000 is designed primarily to avoid costly breakdowns and to cut ship operating costs. This advanced system can be expanded to include a machinery alarm system, a tanker cargo load monitoring system, and an integrated naviga- tion and auto-pilot system.
