the first name in steam engines... 600 kva Skinner Steam Engine installed early in 1980 at Lord Corporation in Erie, PA, will shave power peaks, supply low pres- sure steam and pay for itself in three years. Skinner single or multi-stage mechanical drive turbines can provide efficient use of excess steam and reduce the need for expensive outside power. emerging leader in steam turbines Pelham Marine Seeks Title XI On Two Boats To Cost $8.5 Million Total Pelham Marine, Inc., New Or- leans, has applied to the Maritime Administration for a Title XI guarantee to aid in financing the construction of two 180-foot tug/ supply vessels intended for oper- ation in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico.

Yesterday's graduate or today's veteran consultant recog- nize the Skinner Engine name and rank it number one among steam engines. Skinner has been around longer, has the most extensive service network and the largest spare parts inventory in the business. As energy costs mount, more people talk to Skinner about using steam engines to meet power needs efficiently and dependably while applying "free" waste steam to heating, air conditioning and process requirements. They also talk to Skinner about energy-efficient, single wheel re-entry and multi-stage mechanical drive turbines. The Skinner family of turbines covers every drive application to 4500 HP (3357 KW).
