M.A.N.'s Reliability Program: Engine Readings Reliability analysis must take into consideration the operating conditions of a marine propulsion system. M.A.N.'s reliability pro- gramme, therefore, includes the logging of engine readings. Approx. 40 measuring points on the engine are electronically scanned. The values measured are automatically registered on punched tape, scanning intervals being variable in accordance with the engine's operating conditions. Temperatures, pressures, speed, fuel and lube-oil qualities, draught, weather conditions and state of sea, etc. are recorded. The subsequent evaluation serves to optimize the overall system and streamline main- tenance, thus reducing costs to a minimum. M^N AUGSBURG (W.-GERMANY) American M.A.N.
