All it takes is one piston to prove the extreme standardization off any Alco engine. One piston, above, could be the complete spare piston inventory for our whole marine engine line. The reason: every Alco engine in current produc- tion is built with the same 9x10.5 bore and stroke. You get greater reliability because we've concentrated our engineering effort around one cylinder size for over a decade. You need an absolute minimum parts inventory because we obviously offer maximum parts interchangeability. You receive better quality because our stand- ardization permits us to use more expensive production methods. For example, we use the premium nitriding process to harden every crank- shaft at no extra cost. Despite this extreme standardization, you have a wide range of sizes to choose. From a Straight-6 with 675 bhp @ 720 rpm to a V-18 with 3500 bhp @1000 rpm. Low in weight, high in power, the Alco marine engine is more nearly the universal marine engine than any other. Our representatives would like to give you complete information on our marine diesel line. Or write Alco Engines Division, White Industrial Power, Inc., Auburn, New York 13021.
