Sperry To Market Puroflow

Power-Line Filters —Catalog Available

Puroflow Marine Corporation re- cently announced that an agree- ment has been reached with the

Marine Division of Sperry Corpora- tion Aerospace and Marine Group for distribution of Puroflow power- line filters in marine markets.

According to vice president of

May, 1986 marketing C.R. Kenny, the Sperry

Marine Systems Division will mar- ket the Puroflow products in the

United States and overseas through the company's extensive network of subsidiary companies and agents worldwide. In addition, the Puro- flow filters will be incorporated into many Sperry Marine Systems Divi- sion products.

Puroflow filters are used widely throughout the marine industry, for both shipboard and shoreside appli- cations, to protect electronics and computer-based systems from the harmful effects of voltage fluctua- tions in the electrical power supply.

According to Puroflow vice presi- dent G. Howard Warren, these filters incorporate a unique design that provides multiple levels of sup- pression devices, which work to- gether to clamp voltage surges be- fore they can damage sensitive elec- tronic components. Typical reaction time is less than one nanosecond.

Mr. Warren stated that the Pu- roflow filters have been indepen- dently tested and documented to meet the most exacting standards for surge and noise suppression, in- cluding all applicable military speci- fications.

Only specialists can build fou r floating drydocks within one year... ... 88 in a century. Floating docks have been on the pro- gramme of MAN GHH since 1878. Between April 1982 and

May 1983 we designed, built and supplied a 20,000-t and a 30,000-t dock for the U.S.A. as well as a 22,000-t and a 10,000-t dock for Saudi

Arabia. From June 1982 until

September 1983, two GHH floating docks were commis- sioned by our specialists at their final destination in the

U.S.A., another two in Saudi

Arabia, one in Indonesia, and one in Singapore.

Our dock construction yard is also fully equipped for build- ing floating cranes, such as the three 200-t units deliver- ed to Saudi Arabia in 1983.

For further information we shall be pleased to send you our brochures.
