Broadcast times and program descriptions will appear in the

Houston media TV sections dur- ing the week of OTC. During

Conference hours, OTC-TV will broadcast closed-circuit in the As- trodomain Complex information on technical sessions and other items of interest to Conference registrants.

Accommodations

The OTC Conference Commit- tee reports that rooms have been reserved in 88 hotels/motels in the Houston area. During OTC '81 these accommodations will be booked to capacity. Room re- quests are filled by the OTC

Housing Bureau in order of re- ceipt by mail. No rooms are avail- able for arrival on Monday, May 4.

Registrants who desire accommo- dations for Monday should plan to arrive on Sunday, May 3. Any housing requests indicating an arrival on Monday will automat- ically be changed to reflect an arrival on Tuesday, May 5.

Requests for accommodations should be made through the OTC

Housing Bureau and they will no- tify you of your hotel assign- ment. The hotel will then confirm to you directly. Unless arrange- ments are made directly with the hotel from which you receive con- firmation, reservations will not be held past 6:00 p.m.

Rooms are available for stu- dents. Each student housing re- quest should be mailed to the

Housing Bureau along with a cov- er letter identifying it as a re- quest for a student.

When diesel engine breakdown is unthinkable... it's time for "CENTRI-PACK II

Work boats designed to burn lower-cost, more available heavy fuels are on the way. Example: the new integrated tug/barge combina- tions—"work vessels of the future."

A key factor in their design concept is the use of an efficient oil- purifying system. That's why leading diesel engine manufacturers, working with shipyards like Halter Marine, specify Westfalia CENTRI-

PACK modules as original equipment. . .CENTRI-PACK systems remove water and impurities from heavy oil, so you don't have to think about disastrous breakdowns due to diesel engine damage.

The Westfalia CENTRI-PACK is a compact module that fits almost anywhere. Built around one or more Westfalia Centrifugal Purifiers, it incorporates all necessary components—piping, wiring, motors, pumps, heaters, control panels, the works. Operation is automatic, in- stallation is easy.

There's more. CENTRI-PACK also cleans lube oil, removing carbon and metal particles—which prevents premature engine wear, sharply reduces downtime, and saves money by extending lube oil life. Plan- ning your own "work boat of the future?" It will pay you to learn more about CENTRI-PACK. Call us.
