Sail-Equipped

Motorship (continued from page 26) during the second stage of the development process.

Fortunately, a prototype of a sail-equipped motorship for which various experiments are sched- uled and on which high expecta- tions are placed is planned for completion during 1980.

Gems Level Switches

Meet Latest Self-Checking

Capability Requirements

Many hazardous cargoes now require self-checking of loading and off-loading operations under closed-loading conditions for crude and fuel oil, chemical, and other product carriers. The Gems

LS-55555 Series manual check level switches were designed to meet these requirements, specif- ically for high level control use in closed-loading tankers, but they are equally suitable for use in other types of level applications.

A unique safety feature of the

LS-55555 switches is the hand simulation for pre-checking closed tank high level alarms. A simple handring atop the unit on deck raises float (s) inside the tank, just as liquid level would, to ac- tuate the system. As normal op- eration is simulated, the check is a positive one. ..... v—> '1 gjPv - wmm- v

Unit Mariner Hydraulic 65-Ton Pedestal Crane

A four-color, 12-page brochure describing the Unit Mariner mod- el 650-H hydraulic crane is now available from Unit Crane &

Shovel Corporation. Designed for offshore drilling and production platforms, the 650-H is the heavy- weight of the Unit Mariner line.

This crane has an API rated capacity of 75,000 pounds, and can be equipped with boom lengths up to 150 feet. It has full hydraulic drive, and is available with a diesel or electric power plant.

The 40-foot-tall A-frame design provides the capability for larger lift capacities at extended boom radii. The crane operator can reach across the platform with heavy loads, up and over obstruc- tions. And during unloading, sup- ply vessels can stand off at a safe distance from the platform.
