The bulletin gives specification and performance parameters for fuel injection, fuel transfer and lube applications. IMO pumps can operate on both petroleum base and synthetic lubes, and for fuel transfer and injection can handle dis- tillates, crude, residual and low sulfur blends. A notable feature of IMO pumps is that one pump can be chosen to handle more than one fuel. Included in the bulletin are photographs showing configurations and a cutaway dia- gram showing construction and principle of operation. All IMO pumps use the three- screw axial-flow design. Screws roll without rubbing and float in their bores, oil flow is axial, radial bending loads do not exist and hydraulic balancing eliminates thrust loads. The single bearing is isolated from the oil. These pumps are engineered to deliver non- pulsating flow reliably and efficiently. IMO pumps have been manufactured by DeLaval Turbine Inc. since 1932, and are in extensive use in merchant and Navy ves- sels, refineries, industrial powerplants, nu- clear and fossil-fuel powerplants. The bulletin is available free of charge from IMO Pump Division, DeLaval Turbine Inc., P.O. Box 321, Trenton, N.J. 08602. Midland Insurance Names Nine Executives Following a board of directors meeting, James P. Craig, president of Midland Insur- ance Company, One State Street Plaza, New York, N.Y. 10004, announced the election of Carmelo A. Orabona as vice president. Mr. Orabona joined Midland in 1971 as manager of the company's "Custom Cover" operations for the Northeast. He was advanced to as- sistant vice president in July 1974, when he assumed national responsibility for that de- partment. Prior to joining Midland, he was senior casualty underwriter with the Insur- ance Company of North America. At the same time, eight new executive appointments were made. Patricia Fleisch- man and Salvatore R. DiRaffaele were named assistant vice presidents. Alexander Biel was appointed to the post of assistant controller. Five new assistant secretaries were an- nounced : George E. Buries, Michael J. Corken, Malcolm G. Franklin, Abe Snyder, and John R. Spiegel were named. SNAME Philadelphia Section Discusses The Why And How Of Offshore Oil/Gas Drilling Taking part in the Philadelphia Section, SNAME, February meeting were, left to right: (standing) F.W. Beltz Jr., Section secretary-treasurer,- C.W. Lofft, Sun Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co., coordinator; M.A. Morris, Section chairman, and H.T. McVey, member, Section executive committee. (Seated) Dr. R.R. Jordan, discussor; S.T. Hudson, author, and Dr. Terry Petty, discussor. The Philadelphia Section of The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers held its February meeting at the Engineers' Club located in downtown Philadelphia. The meeting was attended by 65 members and guests. Following a social hour and dinner, S.T. Hudson, president, J.E. Brenneman Co., pre- sented a paper entitled "Offshore Drilling." The paper discusses the why and how of offshore drilling for oil and gas. Further, it describes drilling operations and production. The paper points out the need to continue exploration and development of potential oil fields on the outer continental shelf. With a few statistics, the author showed how the United States was the largest energy user in the world, and in recent years has been using up the country's petroleum reserves faster than new ones have been found. Dr. Robert Jordan, Delaware State geolo- gist, and Dr. Terry Petty, president, ODECO Engineers, Inc., presented informal discus- sions. Following the presentation of the technical paper, M.A. Morris, Section chairman, pre- sented the author with a certificate of appreciation.
