JEFFBOAT
As America's largest inland
shipbuilder, Jeffboat, Incorporated
of Jeffersonville, Ind., has not let
a depressed barge and towboat
market hamper its sales efforts in
the marine industry during 1984.
By capitalizing on the yard's ca-
pabilities and skilled work force,
Jeffboat has successfully pursued
prospects in the non-traditional
marine market. The yard has been
awarded contracts to build an-
other 207-foot oceangoing cruise
ship, a 300-foot dinner/theater
showboat for Opryland USA, seven
U.S. Navy side-loadable warping
tugs, a coastal oil tanker, and lock
bulkheads for the U.S. Army Corps
of Engineers.
This diversity typifies Jeffboat's
management philosophy, which is
full utilization of plant and per-
sonnel. The yard consists of 90
acres along the Ohio River, and
the employment level is approxi-
mately 800. The Marine Repair
Division maintains four drydocks,
the largest being 3,000 tons, and a
50-ton-capacity floating crane.
Recent major capital invest-
ments include an additional auto-
matic blast and paint steel pro-
cessing unit, a 15-ton magnetic
steel-handling gantry crane, and a
new 40-foot shaft lathe that ex-
pands Jeffboat's machine shop
capabilities.

KOCH-ELLIS
Koch-Ellis Barge and Ship Ser-
vice recently announced the com-
pletion of a totally new RO/RO fa-
cility created to handle the
increasing demand for cleaning,
gas freeing and light repairs for
all standard types of containers in
both 20- and 40-foot lengths. Koch-
Ellis also handles various sized
tank trailers.
The facility is large enough to
clean from 15 to 20 units a day,
depending on size and needed
cleaning procedures, and can work
on as many as four units at one
time. Koch-Ellis is EPA certifi-
cated and is capable of handling
most varieties of bulk liquid cargo.
Koch-Ellis's location, at mile 104
of the Mississippi River, or 2012
River Road, in Marrero, La., is
easily accessible from the nearby
New Orleans harbor area.

LOAD-OUT TECHNOLOGY
Load-Out Technology & Sys-
tems, Inc. announces a break-
through in barge loading, all the
way from hand operation, in use
since Noah's time, to operator-ini-
tiated computer control.
Circle 347 on Reader Service Card >•
The firm offers a patented auto-
matic barge loadout system, using
digital signals and computer-con-
trolled functions to automatically
direct the action of the overhead
chute and dockside winch.
The control equipment will load
barges perfectly level in both the
port-to-starboard and fore-to-aft
planes, to a predetermined draft
depth, eliminating the need for
overhead control towers, deck-
hands, experienced loadout per-
sonnel, and more.

M.A.N.-B&W
The new four-stroke, heavy-fuel
L58/64 engine will be produced as
in-line units with six, seven, eight,
and nine cylinders, providing a
power range (mcr) from 9,900 to
14,850 bhp.
During the development of the
L58/64 engine, particular empha-
sis was placed on the following:
low fuel consumption; high relia-
bility in unrestricted operation;
simple and easy maintenance; and
adaptability to varying operating
and environmental conditions as
well as fuel ignition qualities.

IT TAKES A SMART RADIO
TO MAKE HF/SSB COMMUNICATIONS EASY.
HF/SSB communications can put
you in touch with a station thousands of
miles from your transmitter. But with pro-
pagation difficulties and outdated radio
designs to deal with, it's no secret that all
this often takes more effort than it should.
Enter King Radio with the KMC 95 —
the first HF/SSB unit designed from the
ground up to take advantage of the new
technology which has come out of the
microcomputer revolution.
King's design team had two objec-
tives. One, to create a user friendly unit
that would make the life of the HF radio
operator easy. And two, create a reliable
unit that would work in any conceivable
environment.
This dual objective was achieved
with the use of advanced computers on
chips of silicon. In fact, the KMC 95
has two computers on chips and five
memory chips as well. This creates a
"smart" unit which performs many of the
duties previously handled by the radio
operator (for example, remembering fre-
quencies). Three different optional remote
control units are also "smart", and
are therefore fully capable of operating
all features of the transceiver.
Here are some of the ways you
benefit from King's use of the latest
technology:

Operator Convenience
• All 176 ITU Radiotelephone channel
frequencies are stored permanently in non-
volatile memory.
• The memory also provides for storage
of 99 user programable semi-duplex chan-
nels. (This is standard with the KMC 95,
not an option which costs extra as with
some other radios.)
• Keyboard entry provides easy ac-
cess to 280,000 frequencies in the 2 to
30 MHz range.
Reliability
• Extensive use of microcomputers
reduces parts count to reduce failures.
• Top quality electronic components
used throughout the radio.
• Zinc diecast chassis provides dura-
bility and keeps the component parts of the
radio from interfering with one another
electrically.
Installation Flexibility
• Three optional remotes come in
different sizes to suit any mounting re-
quirement. The smallest remote has a
front panel only 2-1/4 inches square.
• Two fully automatic antenna coupler
systems can combine with practically any
size or type antenna you might prefer.
• Private listening available with an
optional telephone headset.
All the convenience and reliability
adds up to one thing: an HF/SSB radio
that is easier to use than you ever imagined
possible, and a radio you can depend on
when you need it most.
