Literature On Dual-Mode

Flame And Smoke Detector

An unusual dual-mode explo- sion-proof fire detector that reacts to both smoke and flame has been introduced by Detector Electronics of Minneapolis, Minn. Literature is available describing the system.

It's the industry's only combina- tion fire/smoke detector using a single sensing element making it ideal for high-hazard applications, the company said. Because of its fast flame response—measured in milliseconds—and its ability to sense smoke buildup, the instru- ment, which can handle up to 64 detectors, is especially well-suited for protecting hazardous installa- tions such as gas and chemical storage tanks, refineries, pipe-

Total maneuverability is a matter of degrees...360°

With Elliott White Gill thrusters, you can turn a vessel in its own length. Position it broadside. Negotiate congested docks and tight berths. Counteract strong cross-currents. Even provide main propulsion.

Without extending outside the hull lines of the vessel, reliable White Gill Units provide thrust that is completely variable throughout 360°, and is not diminished by ship motion. That's total control—with minimum hull resistance and without danger of fouling or damage by underwater obstructions— even in the shallowest water in which the vessel can operate.

Control systems range from a simple joystick (lever) to computerized dynamic positioning.

Hundreds of these easy to install units—original equipment and retrofits—are saving time and money on tankers, tugs, oil rig service vessels, barges, research ships, salvage vessels, cable ships, ferries and other vessels throughout the world.
