Tano Corporation Offers New Brochure On Marine Automation Systems Tano Corporation of New Or- leans, La., designers and manufac- turers of computer-based automa- tion and control systems for marine, oil and gas, and energy management applications, is offering a new six- page color brochure on marine auto- mation systems. The publication discusses Tano systems for the '80s. and emphasizes that regardless of the degree of sophistication and capabilities of particular marine automation sys- tem installations, certain objectives are common to all Tano systems: reduced manning, maintainability, minimum cost, safety, and durabili- ty. The full range of Tano services to marine systems users are listed and include system design, inspec- tion/surveys, specification writing, project management, installation and certification, post-installation checkout and commissioning. A photographic record of an ac- tual test procedure to which a Tano marine console was subjected prior to acceptance for a military installa- tion is included in the brochure, as well as illustrations of a typical Tano bridge console and the ad- vanced engine room console which is described as incorporating micro- computer technology, digital dis- plays and continuous logging on magnetic tape. The brochure lists current Tano functional capabilities in the marine products area for both commercial and military systems, as well as ves- sel types currently using Tano sys- tems. For a free copy of the brochure and further information, Circle 16 on Reader Service Card SNAME Announces 1985 Scholarships In Graduate And Undergraduate Levels Scholarships in both the graduate and undergraduate levels are again being provided by The Society of Naval Architects and Marine Engi- neers to encourage men and women to pursue studies in naval architec- ture and marine engineering, or closely related fields. Only U.S. or Canadian citizens are eligible. Ship operators and shipbuilding companies, affiliated trades, and universities in all sections of the country have been notified of the availability of the graduate scholar- ships. Applications for this program for the fall of 1985 may be obtained from Society headquarters. The completed applications should be sent to Robert G. Mende, secre- tary and executive director of SNAME, at One World Trade Cen- ter, Suite 1369, New York, N.Y. 10048 before the closing date of February 1,1985. The Scholarships Committee will determine in each case the exact value of the graduate scholarship award. Each successful candidate may select the institution for ad- vanced studies, subject to the ap- proval of the Committee. In addition to the graduate pro- gram, undergraduate scholarships of various amounts are made avail- able by SNAME at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Michigan, State University of New York Maritime College, and Florida Atlantic University. Grants- in-aid are also available at the Uni- versity of California at Berkeley. In addition, Webb Institute of Naval Architecture provides a tuition-free education to all undergraduate stu- dents. Recognizing this fact, the So- ciety supports the Webb program with annual contributions, bringing that school indirectly into the schol- arship program. Those interested should contact the above institutions directly and not the Society, as nominations for undergraduate funds have been as- signed to them. All recipients of undergraduate scholarships will be subject to the approval of the Schol- arships Committee. d MILITARY SEALIFT COMMAND 3 -A has rewarding —j 3 MERCHANT MARINE a ^ CAREERS j J FOR YOU IN THE U.S. CIVIL SERVICE J We are now accepting applications for: J WEST COAST j -j • FIRST OFFICERS J — (Prefer applicants who possess —I -J unlimited Master's License) • FIRST ASSISTANT Engineers/Diesel (Prefer applicants who possess unlimited Chief Engineers License/Diesel or Steam License) -j • DECK ENGINEER MACHINISTS J • REFRIGERATION ENGINEERS • ELECTRICIANS J • UNLICENSED JUNIOR ENGINEERS j -j WE OFFER YOU: —j H Not just a job. but a full-time permanent career as a merchant mariner in the U.S. Civil —| Service, with all of its benefits such as excellent retirement, life insurance, health insur- —{ ance and salaries based upon those in private industry.
