Harriet Harrison Elected

To AWO Region Three

Board Of Directors

Harriet Harrison

Harriet Harrison, president of

Koch-Ellis Marine, has been elected to the board of directors of Region

Three of the American Waterways

Operators, Inc.

She joined Koch-Ellis in 1973 as a bookkeeper, and by 1979 had be- come president of the company.

Since that time, the company's principal business of ship bunker- ing has grown, and now has an of- fice in Houston as well as in the main office in New Orleans.

In 1982, Mrs. Harrison bought out a Louisiana neighbor, Barge and Ship Service located at mile 104 on the Mississippi River. Since the Koch-Ellis diversification, this steaming, gas-freeing, and wet dock facility has added a new RO/RO- container cleaning operation, with more services contemplated for the future.

Magnetrol Offers Brochure

On Electronic Liquid

Level Transmitters

Magnetrol International, Inc. of

Downers Grove, 111., a leading manufacturer of a broad range of level and flow control products and technologies, has available a free color brochure on its Modulevel

EZ Series electronic level transmitters.

These advanced two-wire instru- ments utilize Magnetrol's buoy- ancy-magnetic coupling principle to detect and convert liquid level changes into a stable 4-20 mil- liampere output signal. The mag- netic coupling bond between the level-sensing element and output electronics greatly simplifies me- chanical design and construction.

The vertical configuration of the transmitter reduces instrument weight and simplifies installation, and the electronics enclosure may be easily positioned to face any direction.
