An eight-page color brochure detailing the Chevron Interna- tional Oil Company's new Delo 1000 marine engine oil has been published by the company.

The oil, an alkaline detergent/ dispersant cylinder and crank- case oil, is designed to meet the most severe requirements of me- dium-speed, trunk piston diesel engines operating with distillate fuel or black marine diesel oil with sulphur contents up to 1.5 percent.

The brochure contains informa- tion on oxidation and thermal sta- bility, rust and corrosion protec- tion, and field and laboratory tests. A typical properties chart is included as well as photographs of test results.

How does a 25-ton forklift carry a250-ton load? Easy. With the versatile new Lift-Loader.™

The Lift-Loader is a self-loading and unloading semi-trailer that can handle loads where your cranes can't.

In fact, with the Lift-Loader, one forklift and one man can do the work of ten, safely and effi- ^ ciently. The Lift-Loader significantly in- creases the handling capacity of the conventional forklift and can be used as a one-man material handling and storage system. This avoids double and triple handling in crane-operated storage yards.

And the Lift-Loader is backed by over 25 years of industrial usage.
