ship in 1947, will serve as district manager at Portland, and Lloyd

Westby, for more than two decades associated with Overseas Shipping in Portland and Dodwell of Wash- ington, will head the Seattle opera- tion.

The Pacific Northwest offices were established several months ago in accord with Barber's long-range growth plans, Mr. Cangemi said.

Hollming Opens Louisiana

Office For Marketing

Aquamaster Product Line —Literature Available

Hollming, Ltd., the Finnish ship- building and engineering group, has opened offices in Louisiana. The ob- jective is to promote and conduct marketing of the Aquamaster Azi- muth propulsion units and support sales and service activities in the

U.S. and Canada. The office is man- aged by Teuvo Ronkainen.

The aquamaster product line con- sists of azimuth propulsion units (Z- drives) from 150 hp to 4,000 hp.

The Aquamaster propulsion sys- tem includes Aquapilot steering control permitting flexible control arrangement with several steering places. Also, Micropilot, so-called "joy stick" control, is available inte- grating all the thrust elements of a control vessel to the single steering lever. Both Aquapilot and Micropi- lot are based on microprocessor technology.

Aquamaster units are in opera- tion under arctic and tropical condi- tions and almost 800 Aquamaster propulsion units have been deliv- ered worldwide for vessels ranging from tugs, barges, offshore vessels, coastal cargoships, ferries, a 1,600- ton lifting capacity crane vessel and a drill ship with interfacing for dy- namic positioning.

Research Analysis Awarded $16-Million Navy Contract

For Technical Support

Just a reminder of what can happen when you use inferior parts.

Research Analysis and Manage- ment Corporation of Rockville, Md., has been awarded a $16,280,171 cost-plus-fixed-fee Navy contract for technical support for the

NAVSEA's fleet modernization pro- gram. Work is expected to be com- pleted in September 1987. Contract funds would not have expired at the end of the current fiscal year.

Eighty bids were solicited and five offers were received. The Naval Sea

Systems Command, Washington,

D.C., is the contracting activity (N00024-85-D-4563).

Two New Instruments To

Measure Current/Voltage

Introduced By Amprobe —Literature Available

Our R&D team has developed replacements for parts and engine conversion kits that can transform older pieces of equipment into better performers than when they were brand new. So you get improved efficiency and longer service life.

We have also instituted new pro- cedures in our manufacturing that make our record of quality control even better.

Contact us at the Electro-Motive

Division, LaGrange, Illinois 60525.

Or telex us at 270041.

And then find out how our parts can save your company money, increase the per- equipment and reduce unsched- uled downtime.

The new digital clamp-on instru- ments capable of measuring both

DC and AC current and voltage have been introduced by Amprobe

Instruments division of Core Indus- tries, Inc. of Lynbrook, N.Y.

Model ACDC1000 measures AC or DC currents and voltages on two ranges up to 999 amperes, or volts in either a "continuous" mode or a "peak" mode for measuring and locking in surges such as motor starting currents. In the continuous mode it can monitor fluctuating variables. It also has an ohmmeter function for measuring resistances up to 1,999 on two ranges. In the peak mode, the ACDC 1000 is peak- sensing, RMS-reading. The AC fre- quency response is 40 to 400 Hz; the response time in the peak mode is 0.08 seconds.

The second unit, model

ACDC1001, offers AC and DC cur- rent and voltage measuring capabil- ity in a continuous mode. Both are autoranging within the selected function. A unique circuit design permits the new units to measure a wide variety of DC inputs from con- tinuous to chopped DC as found in

SCR circuits (30 to 300 Hz with duty cycle of 20 to 90 percent).

When measuring AC in the contin- uous mode, both instruments are average-sensing, RMS-reading.
