Technical Management

Reorganization Announced

By B&W Engineering

With the establishment of the new company, B&W Diesel A/S, comprising the four divisions —

B&W Marine Service, B&W Alpha

Diesel AS, B&W Holeby AS, and

B&W Engineering—changes have taken place in the technical man- agement positions of B&W Engi- neering, Copenhagen.

Headed by divisional managing director J. Dragsted, the techni- cal organization now consists of five departments.

The Two-Stroke Design & De- velopment Department will be headed by J. Schmidt-Sorensen, with E. Eriksen in charge of De- velopment and Advanced Calcu- lations, C.E. Egeberg of Design, and K. Fursund of Material Re- search.

The Two-Stroke Operation De- partment and Research Labora- tory will be headed by J. Chris- tensen, with U. Mikkeisen in charge of Operation. W. Wro- blewski will continue to direct the Research Laboratory.

The Marine Installation Depart- ment will continue to be run by

H. Klintorp, with O. Grone taking

Navidyne's new ESZ-7000 kx)ks more like a satellite navigator than a Loran C.

With good reason.

Much of the same technology that made Navidyne's satellite navigator the world's best went into our new Loran C Navigator.

So no wonder our Loran C doesn't look like any other. It's more advanced than any other.

IT LOOKS TOO SIMPLE

TO BE SO SOPHISTICATED.

The ESZ-7000 is the soul of sim- plicity because at its heart is a very sophisticated microcomputer.

One that puts on our Loran's screen everything a navigator could want to know.

The date,precise time,present latitude and longi- tude, course and speed made good,and

Simple initialization:

Turn on... enter GRI... Period. course and distance to any of nine preselected waypoints for both great circle and rhumb line routes. Also the total distance run and estimated time of arrival.

Even left-right steering com- mands for maintaining a precise predetermined course.

All this. All displayed at once.

Eliminating switching and look- up codes—and a large measure of human error. < yH r: Wi

IT LOOKS TOO BEAUTIFUL

TO BE SUCH A WORKHORSE.

Our design meets all U.S. Coast Guard requirements, of course. And much more.

Sealed membrane switches, instead of pushbuttons, keep salt and moisture out. The number of components has been reduced by ad- vances in electronics.

And factory burn-in re- duces chance of failure to a minimum.

Result: A Loran C receiver so rugged and reliable that we back it with a full three-year warranty.

And if you ever need service, count on world-wide Navidyne shipboard service in nearly every major port.

IT LOOKS TOO EXPENSIVE

TO BE SO AFFORDABLE.

By now, you probably think this is the most expensive Loran Con the market.

Not so.

Compare its features to units costing far more — and there's no comparison. The ESZ-7000 sets a whole new standard.

TWO WAYS OF LOOKING

AT THE ESZ-7000.

LOP reading also available as well as LAT/LONG. If warnings indicate possible tracking problems, you can easily change from the fully automatic latitude/longitude-reading screen to a display of up to five time differences (TDs) as shown here. With all pertinent information about the condition of each signal.

A simplified version of the ESZ-7000 is also available which displays Loran C time differences only. But even it offers more information at a glance than any other Loran C.

In fact, any way you look at our new unit, you find it's worth a closer look.

New Ferry For The

Strait Of Messina

A modern double-ended ferry is being built at Cantiere Navale

Visentini Shipyard, Donada, Italy, for Caronte. The vessel will be 86 meters (about 282 feet) on the waterline, with a beam of 17 me- ters (about 56 feet), and a draft of 3.2 meters (10 feet). Power will be about 3,500 kw (4,800 hp) to two size 32GII/200 Voith-

Schneider propellers, giving the vessel a speed of 15.5 to 16 knots.

When completed, this will be the seventh Voith-Schneider pro- pelled ferry in service between

Sicily and the Italian mainland.
