rived from all phases of transmis- sion work, and the close cooperation and intensive exchange of ideas be- tween ZF development departments and engine manufacturers and ship- yards worldwide.

ZF invests a large and ever- increasing proportion of its annual turnover in research and develop- ment. Intensive testing is an inte- gral part of all development, re- search, and production phases. Test teams are at work constantly in laboratories, at test rigs, and in the field. A highly qualified production staff has the necessary experience, and a very high standard of quality is achieved by a sophisticated quali- ty assurance system.

Among the advantages of ZF ma- rine gearboxes noted in the bro- chure are: small dimensions and maximum torque; use of expertly and carefully selected materials; lu- bricants carried to gears and bear- ings at the optimum rate through purpose-designed pressure systems; quiet running; lightweight but ro- bust; rapid-acting clutches; easy ser- vicing and overhauling; and reliabil- ity and long life.

Shown in cutaway drawings are

ZF gearboxes for fast craft, work- boats and crewboats, Navy vessels, port authority craft, lifeboats, fer- ries, and passenger vessels.

Sperry MCS2B SatCom

INMARSAT Type Approved —Literature Available

Sperry Corporation, Charlottes- ville, Va., recently received full type approval of its INMARSAT

MCS2B satellite communicator by

INMARSAT. "The MCS2B represents a major new direction in shipboard commu- nications, as it features the first rug- gedized marine computer ever in- cluded as a standard, integral part of a ship's earth station," said C.R.

Kenney, vice president of market- ing at Sperry's Charlottesville oper- ation.

George Tsirimokos, satellite communications project manager, stated: "This imaginative departure from standard type satcoms is truly exciting. In addition to the new

MCS2 series ship earth station and its ruggedized 300 MC marine com- puter, a complete set of software programs for personnel administra- tion, payroll, planned ship mainte- nance, cargo loading and spares in- ventory is available to the user from

Sperry."

For further information, includ- ing free detailed literature on Sper- ry's MCS2 series ship earth station, ruggedized 300 MC marine comput- er and software programs,
