Belle River Sets Tonnage

Record On Great Lakes

The largest single cargo ever moved on the Great Lakes was delivered in September to Detroit Edison by the motor vessel Belle

River.

The record load, 65,760 tons of low-sulfur western coal, was reported by the vessel's owners, American Steamship Company, a subsidiary of GATX Corporation.

Christened last July and placed in service in September, the 1,000-foot-long, 105-foot- wide superearrier is powered by four diesel engines producing 14,000 horsepower, un- loads itself at the rate of 10,000 tons per hour and delivers enough coal in one trip to supply electricity to 24,000 average homes for one year.

Built by the Bay Shipbuilding Corporation at Sturgeon Bay, Wis., the Belle River car- ries coal from Superior, Wis., to Detroit

Edison's St. Clair, Mich., powerplant.

GATX provides capital assets and related services to commerce and industry in North

America and overseas. It owns and operates fleets of railcars, oceangoing and Great Lakes vessels, as well as bulk liquid terminals; manufactures heavy industrial and trans- portation equipment; and provides financial services in the areas of insurance, banking and finance leasing.

Virtually all shipyards in the United States are using Master Portable Mills.

The reason is simple. They want to do ma- chining where it's the most efficient and eco- nomical. So they take their Master Portable

Mill to the work. On board or off.

The key to the popularity of Master Mills is their versatility. One machine can perform milling, drilling, boring, and counterboring operations.

It features longitudinal, cross, and vertical travel. Plus a right- angle head accessory fully usable 360°. So Master Mills can be adapted to just about any metalworking repair job.

To get the machine to limited areas, such as below deck, it quickly and easily dismantles into three units.

Portable Mills, write us.
