As tests on submarines l use, to check for swelling of mate- al, was not practical, Tenmat was ble to use the Isostatic press at its eramics Division at Rugby to simu- ite the pressure. Following a series f tests in which Feroform T 12 and ' 14 bushes in metal housings were ubjected to pressures of 1,000-, ,000- and 4,000-psi for a length of aur days, the company reports the aaterials performed well and both ustomers were pleased.

The system is based on the Simatic S5 and consists of a central station and two self-sufficient sub- stations in the engine room. The ship is propelled by a twin engine plant, MaK 4-stroke diesels, with Renke Tacke reduction gear and Lips controllable pitch propel- lers. Each engine has an output of 6,400 kW (8,700 hp) at 428 rpm. MCR 50S3S4-51S6 res*. •"<£5 : Keep our number handy for...
