ELIMINATE THAT OLD STEAM HORN
The Kahlenberg TRITON Piston Horn is a unique sound producing unit because it requires no compressed air and no diaphragms yet utilizes air vibrations in a tuned sound column. The unit consists of an electric motor driving a pis- ton with a cylinder similar in appearance to an air compres- sor. Very economical to operate and install. Write for bulle- tin. 92C. The KB-20 electric horn is available in 110 volt,
A C. or 24 volt, D C. for vessels up to 246' in length.

Cutters Become First N.A.
Surface Ships To Reach
North Pole
The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG)
Cutter Polar Sea and the Canadian
Coast Guard Cutter Louis S. Ste.
Laurent reached the North Pole on
August 22, becoming the first North
American surface ships to reach the
North Pole.
The Polar Sea is a 399-ft. (122-m) icebreaker from Seattle, Wash., and the Ste. Laurent is a 396-ft. (121-m) icebreaker from Halifax, Nova
Scotia. The two ships are taking part in Arctic Ocean Section 1994, a joint U.S./Canada science project.
They are conducting an extensive, multidisciplinary scientific study that began in Nome, Alaska on July 24 and will end in late September in
Barrow, Alaska.
This expedition is the culmina- tion of four years of joint planning by government agencies in the U.S. and
Canada. Researchers from more than 20 institutions will participate in the studies, which suggest that all aspects of global change may be amplified in the Arctic. Until now, the sparsity of basic shipborne mea- surements of the world's least-stud- ied ocean have made it impossible to understand the processes which drive global climate change.
