Completes Purchase

Of Continental Maritime

Service Engineering Co. (SECO) has announced completion of the purchase of Continental Maritime of San Francisco and of Continental

Maritime of San Diego.

The acquisition of the San Diego operation fulfills the company's goal of expanding its presence on the

West Coast.

According to Orlindo Barsetti, president of Service Engineering

Co., the San Diego facility will con- tinue to operate under the name of

Continental Maritime of San Diego,

Inc., while the San Francisco yard will be closed and its assets and key personnel incorporated into Service

Engineering.

Mr. Barsetti also announced that Jay W. Lamb, former SECO vice president, has been appointed as president/CEO of the San Diego yard, and that construction of a new 700-foot pier for that facility will commence in September and is scheduled for completion in early spring of 1991. The new pier is expected to double the present berthing capacity.

The second argument for the 396 TE:

How a Change of Air does the Engine a World of Good

High-power engine operation requires that combustion air to the cylinders be as cool as possible, while an elevated temperature level is beneficial at idle or low loads. On the 396 TE this problem is solved by thermostatic control of the charge-air coolant stream across the cooler to match current load conditions. Under low-load operation, for example, the cooler is bypassed completely. Thus, directional coolant flow control provides for air tempera- tures consistent with operational demands - yet another proof that our innovative engineering developments trans- late into high technological standards.
