MORE POWER TO YOU

KaMeWa Model 200 CP Thruster

Power makes the difference. And size. The Model 200 is now in produc- tion. We capitalized on the latest technology without sacrificing the qualities which made our 1000 HP

Model 80 the most successful thruster in the world.

Propeller diameter and input pinion speed are identical in both models.

But the KaMeWa 200 accepts input horsepowers up to 1500!

We reduced overall tunnel length. Re- duced the hatch removal clearance.

Result: a thruster that's smaller.

Streamlined. With greater flexibility for location in restricted spaces.

For even more power we also produce the Model 240 (to 2200 HP) and the

Model 250 (to 3000 HP). Contact

Gary Dayton for additional information.

U.S., Canada To Conduct

Marine Transport Study

An agreement has been signed recently by representatives of the

Transportation Departments of the U.S. and Canadian Govern- ments for cooperation in the field of marine transportation systems and technology research.

The two initial areas of inves- tigation will be marine fire haz- ards, and propeller protection techniques for ships navigating in ice.

The new accord will provide for an exchange of personnel and in- formation, joint projects, and as- sessment of marine transporta- tion systems and technology. The agreement is in the form of an addendum to a Memorandum of

Understanding signed in 1970 by the U.S. Secretary of Transpor- tation and the Canadian Minister of Transportation concerning re- search and development in trans- portation.
