SNAME Publication 'Marine Engineering' New Edition Available Myriad technological advance- ments have evolved in the marine engineering field in the past 29 years. The 1971 edition of "Marine Engineering," published by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engineers, narrates these advancements that have occurred since the publication of Volumes I and II of the original "Marine Engineering" in 1942 and 1944, re- spectively. Dramatically different in con- tent from the original, having been completely rewritten, the 1971 edi- tion covers naval as well as mer- chant practice. It is comprehensive, factual, and accurately represents the consensus of opinion of the marine industry. To provide expert knowledge on all subjects, the chapters have been written by individual authors, high- ly competent engineers, who have devoted a great part of their lives to their profession. Each chapter has been carefully reviewed by edi- tor Roy L. Harrington, the control committee, and selected members of the marine industry. Fulfilling its purpose, "Marine Engineering" acquaints those al- ready familiar with basic engineer- ing fundamentals with the various engineering disciplines and appli- cations which make up marine en- gineering. It is intended to com- plement "Principles of Naval Ar- chitecture" and "Ship Design and Construction," which deal similar- ly with naval architecture and ship construction practices. The chapters listed are proof of the comprehensiveness of this trea- tise. Technical editor Roy L. Harring- ton's total dedication to "Marine Engineering" over the past three years is evidenced by the consis- tency of style and content of the book. Mr. Harrington has had 12 years of technical ship design ex- perience in a major shipyard. In 1960, he was awarded a SNAME scholarship to pursue an M.S. de- gree in marine engineering. His background and literary prowess qualify him to bridge expertly the academic and practicing profession- al points of view of the SNAME membership. The 27 authors listed are a very impressive who's who in marine engineering, each being a specialist in his field. The sum of their ex- perience and learning constitutes an all-inclusive book of marine en- gineering knowledge. In addition, a control committee of 10 experts in the field has provided sound guidance throughout all stages of the prepublication of the book.

Export-Import Bank Aids Tug Financing The Export-Import Bank announc- ed that it has authorized a $920,000 loan and a comparable loan guaran- tee to help finance a $2.3 million oceangoing tug to be built in the United States for use by a subsid- iary of the Banque de Paris et des Pays Bas. Eximbank said the French bank will make a down payment of $460,000 in cash, representing 20 percent of the cost of the 5,600-hp tug. Eximbank also authorized a guarantee of a further $920,000 loan made by American Security and Trust Co. of Washington, D.C. Southern Shipbuilding Co. in Lou- isiana will build the tug for eventual movement to Hong Kong by its op- erator, Union Navale S.A., a subsid- iary of the French bank, where it will pick up a barge being construct- ed there. It was learned that Navale S.A. plans to use the tug-barge unit to haul coal to France, probably from Germany and Poland. Marine diesels don't wor 9to5.
