Tate Andale Offers

Free 130-Page Catalog

On Marine Products

The consolidation of Tate Temco,

Elliot's Strainer Division, and An- dale Pipeline Products into one company, Tate Andale, Inc. has led the way for the company's introduc- tion of a new, free 130-page catalog detailing their full line of strainers, valves, valve actuators, heat ex- changers and specialty products.

The catalog, which is bound into a handy three-ring, stain-resistant binder, is divided into seven main sections—"Strainers," "Valves," "Valve Actuators," "Heat Exchang- ers," "Specialty Products," "Mani- fold Valves" and "Technical

Data"—which are in turn divided into subsections. The catalog pro- vides a wealth of informative tech- nical data on Tate Andale products through the use of black-and-white photographs, charts, tables and ex- planatory text.

There are over 35 different types of pipeline strainers described, cov- ering a range of pipeline sizes up to 60 inches.

The free catalog also features

Valvmatic Valve Actuators designed for automating hand-operated valves, oil coolers and heat exchang- ers, multi-circuit valves and Tate's line of specialty products for ship- board and general industrial use.

Harriet Harrison

The American Waterways Opera- tors (AWO) recently announced the election of Harriet Harrison as chairman of the association's South- ern Region.

Mrs. Harrison is the first wom- an to ever be elected chairman of any of AWO's five regions. The fact that the southern region which con- sists of waterways in Louisiana,

Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma,

Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Ten- nessee and Florida has the largest membership of any region, gives the chairmanship that much more re- sponsibility to supply the leadership for maritime concerns.

Mrs. Harrison follows in the footsteps of her father, Harry Col- lins, who was himself elected to the same AWO chairmanship in 1967.

Mr. Collins is one of the only 25 people ever to be elected "Directors

Emeritus" (member for life) in the history of AWO.

Previously Mrs. Harrison had been membership committee chair- man of AWO and was instrumental in leading a highly successful mem- bership drive. She was also the first woman to be elected a director in the southern region.

As president of Koch-Ellis Ma- rine, long into ship bunkering and fuel and lubricant services, plus president of Koch-Ellis Barge &

Ship Service, a cleaning, gas freeing, wet dock repair facility, Mrs. Har- rison has always looked for innova- tive ways of improving the marine industry both in the New Orleans area and nationwide. "Being elected chairman by my peers is a great honor," said Mrs.

Harrison. Her first goal is to im- mediately create and establish legis- lative office committees with indi- vidual chairmen for each of the states in the southern region. This will help to monitor the activities of state legislations that affect the ma- rine industry. "As an industry, we must become pro-active instead of reactive," said Mrs. Harrison.

Although she has already begun her duties, Mrs. Harrison will offi- cially be acknowledged in April at the 1988 national AWO convention to be held in Washington, D.C.
