Rice Named Director of AMB Barge Train Bill W. Rice has joined Ameri- can Metal Bearing Co. (AMB) of Garden Grove, Calif, as director of its recently acquired Barge Train division. He is a program manage- ment, production, and sales spe- cialist with more than three de- cades of experience. Barge Train's sole product is the Flexor, a flexible steel and syn- thetic rubber connector that—for the first time—enables freight barges to be closely connected for open-water operation. More than 200 Flexors are in use with the U.S. Navy and another 140 are on order. AMB purchased Barge Train, Inc., early this year from its foun- der, John Marriner. The firm re- cently announced a marketing program to introduce the Flexor to commercial shippers with the goal of having barge trains criss-cross- ing the world's oceans, seas, riv- ers, and lakes. Announcing Mr. Rice's appoint- ment, AMB president Alan Du- commun said: "Bill Rice has to- tal responsibility for the naval and commercial domestic and foreign markets for the Flexor, as well as overseeing production. This is a doubly demanding assignment, but his experience very well qualifies him for it." RADIO HOLLAND U.S.A. Single NEW Source for All These Products STB-750 Mkll SITOR and PACT-220 teleprinters.
