In commenting on the new ves- sel Capt. Jarry Shervo said: "Bender was willing to incorporate many of my ideas on what I felt a working boat should be; ideas that come from experience. Traveler is a quality vessel that was delivered on time."

MURPHY'S LAW

NUMBER 76.

THE STIFFEST PLANK ALWAYS GETS NEXT TO

THE BENDIEST ONE. rn the other hand.

MICRO = LAM" Law #2 states:

MICRO = LAM scalfold planking will have consistently uniform strength and stiffness. We guaran- tee it. Because every one has to conform to our tough manufactur- ing standards.

And every MICRO = LAM scaf- fold plank is proof-tested for strength and branded to certify compliance with OSHA.

MICRO = LAM engineered lumber is made from ultrasonically graded veneer, laminated under heat and pressure with waterproof adhesive This patented process eliminates almost all of the flaws and hazards of solid sawn planks- splitting and warping are virtu- ally unknown with MICRO = LAM planking. And it cuts costs by lasting longer

Available in any specified length up to 40 feet, up to 24" wide, and in 6 thicknesses Immediate shipment. Write or call today.

New Propulsion Drives For

San Francisco Ferry Boats

The three ferry boats that carry thousands of commuters and visi- tors daily across San Francisco

Bay between San Francisco and

Larkspur will soon have com- pletely new propulsion drive sys- tems for which Philadelphia Gear

Corporation is manufacturing spe- cial gearboxes.

The original propulsion on the ferries was provided by a triple- drive system using gas turbines.

Because of rising fuel and operat- ing costs, the boats are being con- verted to twin-screw propulsion with two diesel engines. The fer- ries being converted are the San

Francisco, Marin and Sonoma.

They are owned and operated by the Golden Gate Bridge Highway and Transportation District.

The conversion is being accom- plished by Southwest Marine Inc.,

San Diego Division. In addition to the work being accomplished by

Philadelphia Gear Corporation,

Southwest Marine is modifying the structure of the vessels to fa- cilitate the addition of shafting, rudders and propellers. Additional modifications include advanced engine monitoring and control systems.

In addition to the Golden Gate ferry drives, the company recently supplied new gearboxes for the renovation of the San Francisco

Cable Car System. These pro- grams continue to demonstrate

Philadelphia Gear's leadership in supplying high performance power transmission drives for marine and other tough applications.
