The Glacier Metal Company announces that in a
recent advertisement of the Glacier Herbert Stern-
gear system an artist's impression of a container
ship was featured instead of one of the vessels in
which this system has so far been incorporated. The
Company wishes to ensure that no misunderstand-
ing should exist and is therefore making it clear
that its sterngear system has so far only been in-
stalled in vessels other than container ships. The
system is of course equally applicable and bene-
ficial in container ships, and this announcement
does not invalidate the advertisement's description
of the characteristics and advantages of the Glacier
Herbert Sterngear system.

the Los Angeles Chapter of the Marine Tech-
nology Society.

was very well received by 110 representatives
of the three societies.

ating forces and the U.S. Coast Guard.
Combustion Engineering Elects
R.A. Amen Corporate Vice Pres.
The board of directors of Combustion Engi-
neering, Inc., Windsor, Conn., has elected Ro-
bert A. Amen to the newly created post of cor-
porate vice president, marketing and communi-
cations.
In his new post, Mr. Amen will be respon-
sible to the chief executive for corporate-wide
market research, marketing planning, corporate
policies and procedures to "coordinate total
marketing and communications efforts," and
all marketing communications.
"C-E has tripled its sales of steam generat-
ing, petroleum production processing and oth-
er energy equipment during the last decade,
and annual sales are now in excess of $1.1 bil-
lion," Arthur J. Santry Jr., president, said. It
has become apparent that C-E needs "a more
comprehensive and better coordinated approach
to marketing" if it is to "compete favorably and
remain a leader in our primary markets," Mr.
Santry said.
Mr. Amen was formerly staff vice president,
communications, for C-E, a post he held since
joining the company in 1969. Prior to that, he
had been a vice president with D.F. King &
Co., Inc., a Wall Street consulting firm, and
was a marketing communications executive
with General Time Corporation and U.S. In-
dustries, Inc.
A graduate of City University, Mr. Amen
also took graduate studies at Columbia Univer-
sity. He is a member of the New York Athletic
Club and the Westchester Country Club.
