USCG Proposes Rules For
Offshore Supply Vessels
The U.S. Coast Guard has is-
sued an advanced notice of pro-
posed rulemaking concerning new
offshore supply vessels.
The regulations would imple-
ment the provisions of the law
(P.L. 96-378) regarding inspec-
tion standards for such vessels,
Geared for speed. Light weight, high performance
gears from ZF.
ZF presents the last thing you'd
expect from a smaller gearbox. More
speed.
Weighing in at only 730 lbs., the
BW190 marine gear series is the
compact, high performance gear line
built for pleasure craft in the 40 to 60 ft.
range. Pound for pound, they handle
more torque than any other gears in the
world. The result? You can use a high
performance engine. And build a faster
boat.
Built for reliable performance.
The BW 190 series is designed for
dependability and smooth operation.
With multiple disc clutches, hydraulic-
ally operated, oil cooled and pressure
modulated for short response and
smooth shifting. And precision helical
gears for increased efficiency and
reduced noise.
Other features include full torque in
forward and reverse. Motor-driven and
prop-driven pumps. A wide range of
standard ratios. V-drive, engine or sepa-
rate mounting. And easy-to-reach com-
ponents for fast, efficient maintenance
you, that means a superior product
plus a professional service organiza-
tion spanning the globe. Including
service centers on the East, West and
Gulf Coasts.
But even more, when you specify
ZF, you'll get all the confidence that
comes from knowing you've specified
the best. The best in precision. In
quality. In long-life performance and
customer service.
Just what you'd expect and more
from the world leader in drive system
technology. The BW 190 marine gear
series from ZF of North America.
Built by ZF.
Like all our products, the BW 190
series represents state-of-the-art tech-
nology. And it's backed by a company
with over 60 years in the business. For

taking into consideration their
method of operations, and the
service in which they are en-
gaged. New vessels are defined
as those not in service on or be-
fore January 1, 1979, or on order
before October 6, 1980.
Comments are due on or be-
fore June 14. They should be
mailed to Commandant (G-GMC/
44), (CGD 82-004), U.S. Coast
Guard, Washington, D.C. 20593.
A copy of the proposal was pub-
lished in the February 14 Fed-

Navy Awards $1.2-Million
Computer Contract To ADI
—Literature Offered
Applied Dynamics Internation-
al, Inc. (ADI) of Ann Arbor,
Mich., was awarded a $1.2-mil-
lion contract by the U.S. Navy,
it was announced recently by
G.F. Graber, president.
Under the contract, ADI will
supply the Navy with advanced
computer hardware and software
to be used in research and for
testing purposes. Included is the
first model FX, ADI's latest
product innovation, and three
unique ADI System 10 com-
puters.
ADI's computer systems are
used to simulate complex dynamic
systems associated with the de-
sign and engineering of new
products, such as aircraft, pro-
pulsion systems, and spacecraft.
Called real time dynamic simula-
tion, the process allows industry
and government to test and eval-
uate the "hardware" under real
operational conditions, thus pro-
viding better designs and re-
ducing development cost.
