O'Donnell, USN (ret.), president of the college, has re- ported. The Gulf Oil Foundation is an educa- tional assistance program sponsored by the Gulf Oil Corporation. This latest donation to the Maritime College by Gulf was designated as a grant to further special projects of the college. Just about a year ago the Foundation do- nated $1,000 to the Maritime College Develop- ment Fund, and the company annually pre- sents a $100 Savings Bond to each of two ca- dets chosen for "outstanding" performance of duty during the summer cruises of the col- lege's training ship Empire State IV. Formal presentation of the $1,500 grant was made to Admiral O'Donnell by D.G. Brown, manager of Gulf's U.S. fleet, and T.P. Leonard, director of vessel personnel. In accepting the grant, Admiral O'Donnell described Gulf Oil as one of the college's "staunchest friends," and he expressed the gratitude of the college for the organization's continuing support. Electro'Controls Introduces Bow Thruster Control Unit Electro'Controls has announced a bow thruster controller designed to operate a Sundstrand type hydrostatic transmission. This unit is specifically designed for external mounting on the bridge of the boat. Optional mounting provisions are avail- able. The unit operates in two modes: (1) manual mode controls the thruster speed port or star- board, and (2) auto mode uses signals received from the vessel's auto pilot and controls the speed and direction of the thruster to bring the vessel back on course. The auto mode provides for precision course holding without headway. This mode can be used for maintaining the vessel's orientation to the prevailing sea to provide the most stable work platform. In addition to the control electronics located on the bridge, the unit is supplied with a servo valve to be mounted on the pump which controls the swash plate position actuator. Controlling the pump swash plate angle effectively controls the speed and direction of the hydraulic motor attached to the bow thruster drive unit. Avail- ability of the system is 30 to 60 days.
