Dredging Days

The International Inland Ship- ping Exhibition, known as Bin- nenscheepvaart '83, has been or- ganized for the third time and is an integral part of Europort '83.

The so-called 'wet-work' contrac- tors are grouped together in the

Delta Hall of the RAI complex to form a central theme—dredging.

A separate conference on Instru- mentation and Control of Dredg- ing Processes has been organized by the Central Dredging Associa- tion (CEDA).

The Dredging Days will com- prise two sessions, the afternoon of

Thursday, November 10 (1:30-5:45) and the morning of Friday, No- vember 11, 1983 (9:15-1:30).

Provisional Program

E.W. James of the Interna- tional Association of Dredging

Companies, will open the Dredg- ing Days.

System

We don't think you should change to another shaft bearing just because it's new.

We think you should change because it's better.

Over ten years of trials have proven Thordon better than conventional materials — so much better that you can't afford to overlook it on your next refit.

Better than rubber, because Thordon has its own built-in-lubricants — it runs quietly at low speeds and can even run dry for short periods without damage.

Better than phenolic, because Thordon is abrasion-resistant and doesn't need kid-glove handling during installation or operation. It literally absorbs pounding and keeps on running.

Smoothly.

Better than wood in every way. And Thordon raw stock is available for machining to size in over 50 countries around the world.

Get all the facts on Thordon before you make any decision on shaft bearing refits.

Not because it's the most modern bearing material available.

But because it's the best.

The Leslie Direct Viscosity Control System with balanced dual capillary principal of measurement provides a constant viscosity for any mixture of heavy fuel oils. The viscosity of the fuel is continuously measured (not periodically sampled) and deviation from a specific value is automatically corrected.

Constant viscosity at the burner or ejector means more efficient combustion and greater overall boiler efficiency.

INDUSTRIAL

INTERCOMS

FOR MARINE

COMMUNICATIONS

Designed originally to provide U.S. industry with intercoms which would deliver clear, dependable voice communication under the most severe operating conditions, ADCO units have earned wide acceptance in many segments of the marine industry.

Typical installations are aboard ship—bridge to deck or engine room, control center to diving bell—on offshore oil platforms—and throughout repair yards, dry docks, piers and storage areas.

What makes ADCO intercoms different is their ability to perform efficiently regardless of high ambient noise, weather or temperature extremes. Their heavy-duty cast aluminum cases are built to withstand rough usage—and are both weather and corrosion-proof.

Since each unit is a self-contained station which receives, amplifies and transmits the signal, intercom systems can include many stations over very long distances. Installation is simple and practical: each unit plugs into a nearby AC or DC power source, then is connected by ordinary low voltage 2-wire cable.
