RELIABILITY WITH TERRY

AUXILIARY TURBINES

Terry solid-wheel turbines. Rugged, reliable, and packed with a history of minimum maintenance. That's why over 62% of new steam- powered ships over 1,000 gross tons carry Terry units. And why not? Terry offers the most complete line of auxiliary units available in the marine industry. Reliable bal- last pump turbines. Experience- proven vertical units. And Type-Z solid-wheel machines that are in a class by themselves.

Specifically, solid-wheel turbines can be started up cold—with load —in a few seconds. No warm-up required.

The wheel is a single steel forg- ing in which semicircular buckets are milled—there are no separate parts to become loose or work out.

Heavy rims and large axial clear- ances at both sides of the wheel prevent damage from reverse thrust.

Mechanical speed governor is housed in a heavy, rugged, cast housing . . . overspeed governor is a simple, positive, completely sparkless device. For shipboard service Terry solid-wheel turbines are available in sizes to 2,000 h-p.

So, whether you're designing a new ship or going through over- haul, call in Terry early in the plan- ning of your next project. Terry can put more reliability aboard any ship, large or small.

Oh, if auxiliary turbines aren't what you need, look at Terry's tur- bine generators or cargo pump drives (below). Terry Corporation,
