Trimble Signs Major USCG

Contract

Trimble has signed a contract with the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) to provide 326 NT200CG GPS receiv- ers for use in the USCG's Aids to

Navigation (ATON) vessels. Differ- ential GPS positioning information from Trimble's NT200CG will be used to place and maintain more than 50,000 buoys, day markers and lights throughout the U.S. coastal waters including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto

Rico, the Great Lakes region, and inland navigable rivers. The

NT200CG will also be used for gen- eral marine navigation. "We are pleased to have been chosen once again by the U.S. Coast Guard to provide GPS technology to help build and maintain the nation's transpor- tation infrastructure," saidCharles

Trimble, president of Trimble.

Trimble's NT200CG allows USCG vessels to quickly and precisely posi- tion these navigational aides. The

NT200CG is a custom unit based on

Trimble's NT200D, a marine naviga- tion receiver with built-in differen- tial GPS, capable of receiving differ- ential correction signals broadcast by the USCG's beacon system.

ENVIRONMENTS DEMAND a

POLLUTION-FREE RELIABILITY I * 1

Working in the world's most ecologically sensitive environment, the Antarctic Icebreaker and research vessel, Nathaniel B. Palmer relies on 640 mm (25")

Thor-Lube stem tube bearings for pollution free reliability. The ship is also equipped with

Thordon rudder and thnister bearing systems.

Today's environmental challenges and government regulation demand a move from traditional oil lubricated stern tube systems to pollution-free alternatives.

The Thor-Lube bearing system combines proven Thordon XL bearings with Thor-Lube; a water soluble, environmentally friendly lubricant to deliver pollution-free performance. Wear life is comparable to conventional oil-lubricated systems and the system is considered equivalent to oil-lubricated by most Classification Societies.

Higher operating efficiencies can be expected with the Thor-Lube system. Operating friction is lower, particularly at start-up and higher shaft speeds. Similar in size to oil-lubricated bearings,

Thor-Lube bearings can be as easily integrated into conversion projects as new build. ^Kr For pollution-free reliability in your marine bearing application contact

Thordon Bearings Inc. or your local

Thordon distributor (located in over ^^^^^ 55 countries around the world).
