Alco Power Names

Neil H. Whitehead

Neil H. Whitehead has been ap- pointed sales engineer for the mid- continent region by Alco Power

Inc. of Auburn, N.Y. stored electrical power as a bet- ter approach.

The unit consists of a battery, battery charger and a reduced voltage motor controller assem- bled in a single metal enclosure suitable for deck mounting. The enclosure is steel construction suitably braced to provide a free- standing structure with mounting angle for bolting. Two compart- ments are completely isolated from each other, one compart- ment for housing the battery and the other compartment for housing the battery charger and the reduced voltage motor con- troller.

The Galbraith-Pilot Lube Oil

Pump Emergency Power Source is fully rejuvenated within eight hours after main a-c power is re- stored. A battery charger main- tains the 120-v d-c battery pack at full charge, ready to deliver a full 39 amps for up to 10 minutes to the d-c pump motor, 5 hp, 900 rpm.

Emergency Power Source can be obtained by writing to Robert

Now you can have a 'Telex at Sea! communication system for under $30,000. Neil H. Whitehead In his new position, Mr. White-head will be responsible for the sales and service of Alco POWER

BOSS diesel engines and parts in the riverboat and industrial diesel markets. Reporting directly to

Ray Cathcart, regional manager,

Mr. Whitehead will also work closely with the Alco distributor network effecting complete fac- tory liaison.

The new sales engineer comes to Alco with a wealth of experi- ence, particularly with the water- way industry. This experience dates back to 1953 and includes sales of petroleum products, main- tenance articles and bow thrusters for inland waterways vessels, oceangoing vessels, and explora- tion and drilling equipment.

He is the national vice presi- dent of The Propeller Club (third time), and has been on the oper- ating board-Str. Belle of Louis- ville since 1962.

Alco is a leading manufacturer of diesel engines used for marine propulsion, standby electric power generation, onshore and offshore oil exploration, pumping and lo- comotive applications.

It's here—a sea-going Telex terminal that can link a ship to most any Telex subscriber in the world... practically error free in operation... whose equipment and operational costs are a fraction of that necessary for satellite com- munications.

It's available right now to operate over an existing network of world-wide shore stations; completely dependable and totally private; producing and storing accurately typed copies of messages on both ends; much faster than Morse; with significant savings in trans- mission costs.

The system enables you to transmit and reliably receive long lists of figures and tables, provisioning, maintenance, adminis- trative data and correspondence—automati- cally, even without a radio officer on watch.

A method of error-detection and error-correc- tion assures the accuracy of each character, of each word.

In a cooperative spirit between two world leaders in maritime communications—Com- munication Associates, Inc. and North Ameri- can Philips Corporation, Communication Sys- tems Division—a stand alone, fully integrated

Telex at Sea' HF System, capable of operating on SSB, teleprinter, CM and other optional special purpose emissions has been devel- oped. It interfaces CAI's high performance

CA-35 MS/MKII SSB system with a PHILIPS

STB 750 Simplex TOR. It's the integration of two systems that have both proven their reliability aboard hundreds and hundreds of vessels.

The frequencysynthesized CA-35 MS/MKII can be programmed for any of the HF marine frequencies, regardless of changes. It is on frequency instantly with J4 part per million stability, and has a 1,000watt antenna coupler, both with two-stage tuning. The PHILIPS-pio- neered Simplex Telepri nti ng Over Radio error eliminator is narrow-band direct printing radiotelegraphy of a high order. It offers Auto- matic Request for Repetition (ARQ), Forward

Error Correction (FEC), and Unprotected (RTTY) modes of operation. The system pro- vides error detection, error correction, and excellent protection against fading, noise, or other distorting interferences. It turns any ship's radio room into a highly dependable

Telex terminal and 'electronic post office.' In- stallation is as simple as installing an SSB radio.

The system comes packaged within two compact cabinets, along with your choice of teleprinter. Its unattended and automatic capabilities make the data explosion man- ageable.

Lube Oil Pump

Power For Emergency

The Galbraith-Pilot Marine Di- vision of Marine Electric RPD,

Inc., 166 National Road, Edison,

N.J., has introduced a lube Oil

Pump Emergency Power Source to assure protection of ship pro- pulsion machinery after a'power interruption.

The emergency power source is an "uninterruptible" power sys- tem which goes on immediately after a power interruption, thus assuring a constant flow of lubri- cation oil for at least 10 minutes, during which time normal power can be restored.

In the past, most shipboard emergency lube oil pumping sys- tems have relied on stored air pressure tanks to drive a pneu- matically powered pump for the "wind down" period. However, the need for reliability and re- peatability (air pressure tanks must be replaced or repressur- ized) has given emergence to
