Avondale Industries

The U.S. Navy fleet oiler Pecos (T-AO-197) was delivered this year by Avondale Industries, Inc.'s Ship- yards Division, New Orleans, La., to the U.S. Navy.

Built with the use of modern modular construction techniques, the Pecos is 667-1/2 feet long, with a beam of 97-1/2 feet and maximum draft of 36 feet. Her main propul- sion consists of two 10-cylinder

PC4.2 Colt-Pielstick diesel engines manufactured by Fairbanks Morse

Engine, a division of Coltec Indus- tries, Inc. (formerly Colt Indus- tries). The engines are capable of burning heavy fuels of up to 3,500 sec Redwood at 100 degrees F. The fuel rate guarantee is 136 grams/ metric horsepower hour. The twin- screw design provides the T-AOs with improved directional stability, ease of control and mission reliabili- ty.

Capable of speeds of 20 knots, the mission of the Pecos is the transport of bulk products and fuel to shore depots to combatants and support

Save water, save space, save weight, and reduce costs with Jered Brown

Brothers all new Vacuum Sewage Collec- tion System and vacuum operated fixtures for ships and boats.

Using vacuum to collect and transport waste dramatically reduces the volume of waste water generated.

Vacuum piping is smaller, lighter, and can be run in any orientation. This means signifi- cantly lower material costs, easier installation, and more design flexibility.

Jered Brown's new line of compact

Vacuum Collection Units (of standard or custom design) provides highly reliable and energy efficient vacuum r service, and can interface with most types of waste treatment equipment, of our supply or yours.

Jered Brown's newest vacuum flush toilet is simple in design, rugged in construction, and highly reliable in service.

It recently passed a 250.000 cycle test without a single failure. 50 years as a marine equipment supplier. 20 years experience in providing Vacuum Sewage Collection Systems. y Jered Brown Brothers A Vickers P.L.C.
