Walter L. Vaughan, general manager of E.L. Post & Co., New York—one of America's oldest babbitt metal manufacturers—will be responsible for the Eastern Sea- board, and James A.

In announcing the appointments, W.P. Bardet, vice-president, sales, for the Glacier Metal Co., Inc., U.S. sales agency of the British firm, emphasized the interest which the Glacier/Herbert sterngear sys- tem is arousing in worldwide mari- time circles, particularly since the first installation (the MS Laurita— see cover story Maritime Reporter And Engineering News, March 1, 1970) has proven highly successful after almost a year of continuous service. Two sister ships are ex- pected to be in service shortly with the same G/H sterngear arrange- ment.
