He joins Lister after serving as international sales manager for Hawker Siddeley Power Plant, Thrupp, England, where he was re- sponsible for generating set and en- gine sales in North, South and Cen- tral Americas, Europe, and the Far East. Mr. Cantrill's appointment co- incides wth Lister's introduction of a new line of generating sets built specifically for the U.S. market. Known as the Hawkpower brand, the line will cover the output range from 3 to 130 kw. The Hawkpower sets are constructed to a modular type design that allows the end user to tailor his purchase to whatever sophistication his particular appli- cation requires. Anything from a bare basic unit to a complete pack- age with full control panel and cir- cuit breakers can be specified. Lister has been supplying air- cooled diesel engines for generation set applications in the U.S. since before World War II, but this is its first attempt to market a competi- tively priced set under its own brand identity. The Hawkpower line will be sold through Lister's present network of engine distribu- tors, who will also provide back-up parts and service.
