ard EBL, VRM and interference rejector.
Seven range scales from VA to 16 n.m., echo
stretch for target enhancement, electronic
guard zone, on-screen data readout,
Furuno's exclusive microwave IC receiver
circuits, fully splashproof display.
If you need a little more performance, there
are the Models 1800 and 1900 radars with

SNAME Section Calls
For Papers For
Ice Tech Symposium
The Arctic Section of The Society
of Naval Architects and Marine En-
gineers (SNAME) has issued a call
for technical papers for the fourth
International Ice Tech Symposium,
which will be held in Calgary, Alber-
ta, Canada, from March 20-23,
1990.
The symposium, which covers
ships and marine systems in cold
regions, will focus on the following
interests: modeling of ship/ice inter-
action; model and full scale tests in
ice; ice loads and pressures; struc-
tural design criteria; marine systems
operations; design and construction
of vessels; marine systems for trans-
portation and resource develop-
ment; future developments; marine
engineering; and offshore struc-
tures.
The deadline for submitting an
abstract, which should be approxi-
mately 400-500 words, is February
28, 1989. Notice of provisional ac-
ceptance will be issued April 15,
1989. After acceptance, a draft man-
uscript must be submitted by Au-
gust 1, 1989. Notice of final accept-
ance will be issued September 1,
1989. The deadline for final manu-
script submission is January 1,1990,
with submission of audio-visual ma-
terial set for February 1, 1990.

Renk Tacke Reports
Over 100 RCF Gears
Sold To Date
The West German firm of Renk
Tacke recently reported that anoth-
er six Renk Constant Frequency
(RCF) gear installations have been
ordered, bringing the total sold
within three years to well over 100
installations representing a value of
approximately 100 million Marks
(about US$56 million).
The RCF system, developed
jointly by Renk Tacke with MAN
B&W, is used for economical cur-
rent generation aboard ships. Via
the RCF gear, a ship generator can
be driven by a cheap, low-speed die-
sel engine running on low-price lube
oil. The installations have been suc-
cessfully tested in service, partly in
conjunction with TCS-Turbo-Com-
pound Systems which converts a
part of the exhaust gas energy into
power.
According to Renk, the combina-
tion of RCF and TCS represents the
economical solution for on-board
energy generation. The savings in
operating costs lead to very short
amortization costs. As a rule, the
initial costs are recovered as early as
after two to four years. Moreover,
the RCF/TCS installations need
very little maintenance and operate
reliably at long (four years) service
intervals.
