Nilsen Named President

Bailey Refrigeration And

Affiliated Companies

Ralph R. Bailey, chairman of the board of Bailey Refrigeration

Co., Inc., Brooklyn, N.Y., has an- nounced the appointment of

Sigurd Nilsen as president of that company and their affiliated com- panies.

Mr. Nilsen has been associ- ated with the marine industry since his discharge from active duty with the U.S. Navy in 1945.

In 1951, he joined the Bailey or- ganization and has served in sales and executive capacities for all of the companies of the Bailey

Group. Prior to his newly ac- quired post, he has been execu- tive vice president since 1972.

The Bailey Group consists of

Bailey Refrigeration Co., Inc., which installs complete air-condi- tioning and refrigeration systems, handles conversions, alterations and repairs, and provides round- the-clock service in emergencies.

Bailey Distributors, Inc. main- tains a vast inventory of replace- ment parts and complete units to insure almost immediate delivery from their branch warehouses on the East and Gulf Coasts.

Navigating through ice demands top performance. Reliability, operating effi- ciency and maximum flexibility aren't optional extras in this environment— they're mandatory.

U.S. Steel's M/V ROGER BLOUGH meets these requirements. She's suc- cessfully maneuvered in the ice-covered waters of the Great Lakes since 1972.

Season after season, this bulk carrier has made her way through floating fields of solid blue lake ice, navigated in ice- packed ports and channels, and operated in brash ice often measuring more than 8 feet deep.

The BLOUGH's 14,000 HP

KaMeWa controllable pitch propeller played a key role in these operations. Engi- * neered to absorb full PfF®' horsepower—whi le automatically ing pitch to rn a safe engi the CPP system en- | ables the vessel to sus- tain headway lit heavy ice: Full power also can be used in the asfern mode. This improves the ship's performance during ice ramming operations. So, too, does the continuous, unidirectional rota- tion of the propeller shaft. Further, the system can be manually controlled from the bridge or engine room. This means better speed control and reduces hull damage risks when navigating in port or narrow waterways.

These operating advantages have been tested overtime.
