Stewart & Stevenson

Receives $20-Million

Order For Gensets

Stewart & Stevenson Services,

Inc., Houston, Texas, a leading manufacturer of diesel and gas tur- bine-powered equipment, recently received a $20-million order for 24 diesel-powered generator sets. The generators will be used aboard pa- trol frigates being built for the Re- public of China (Taiwan) Navy.

Each unit will produce 1,000 kw of electrical power and will be in- stalled in the ships being built by the China Shipbuilding Corporation of Taiwan.

These new ships are of the same design as the U.S. Navy's Oliver

Hazard Perry Class frigates (FFG- 7) on which 280 Stewart & Steven- son generators provide electrical power.
