SNAME: 1893 to 1993

Naval Architects And

Marine Engineers

Praised By Metten (Dateline 1943) Contributions of the So- ciety of Naval Architects and Ma- rine Engineers have played an im- portant role in the winning of this country's last two wars, and by their direction of the design, building and operation of today's huge program of naval and merchant shipping con- struction are enabling the U.S. and its allies to wage World War II suc- cessfully, John F. Metten, presi- dent of the society, told the opening technical session of the organization's 51st annual meeting at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel last

Thursday.

The magnitude of the present ship- building undertaking, Mr. Metten declared, could be visualized best by comparing the merchant tonnage constructed here in 1893, consist- ing of steam ocean, river and lake vessels and estimated at 200,000 deadweight tons, with this year's

KaMeWa CP propellers.

They come with a service package that will boost your profitability.

Idle time is wasted time. That's why service avail- ability should always be measured in time needed to put the vessel back into the work of earning money.

And that's why users of KaMeWa controllable pitch propellers benefit from our around-the-clock stand-by service: more than twenty service units around the world will guarantee a technician on site within just a few hours.

You can always expect more from KaMeWa.

Mr. Metten pointi out the great changes that the pa 50 years have made in shippii wages. He said that 1893 seal ranged from $6 a week for unskilL shipyard labor to $13.50 for skills with first-class marine draftsrm earning $25 a week, figured on a 5 hour week for yard workers and hours for draftsmen.
