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.

House Closes
Jones Act Loophole
On January 29,1986, the House of
Representatives approved the Sen- ate-passed version of H.R. 2466, miscellaneous maritime amend- ments. This legislation contains an important provision that closed a loophole in the Jones Act which cur- rently could permit foreign-flag tug- boats to provide ship assist service to foreign-flag vessels in U.S. ports.
The AWO vigorously supports this provision. The Senate passed its version of the bill prior to the
Christmas recess.

U.S. Navy contract for moderniza- tion and repairs to the guided-mis- sile frigate USS Mclnerney. Work is scheduled to begin in May this year and be completed in nine months, extending the yard's work load into 1987.
