Rexnord Defense Systems Inc., the New Orleans-based manufac- turer of marine automation and control systems, has been purchased by its former president and re- named TANO Corporation. James J. Reiss Jr. has pur- chased all outstanding stock of Rex- nord Defense Systems from its par- ent company, Rexnord Inc. of Mil- waukee, Wis., in a cash transaction. The acquisition was finalized re- cently, but the terms were not dis- closed. Mr. Reiss regains ownership of the company through the transac- tion. He was one of the founders of TANO Corporation in 1972. In 1984, Rexnord purchased TANO and changed the firm's name, re- taining Mr. Reiss as president of the subsidiary. He is chief executive officer of the new TANO, which will remain at 4301 Poche Court West in New Orleans. The company's operations and management team also will re- main the same. R. W. (Pete) Emerling, a 16- year veteran of the company, serves as general manager of the marine systems operation. The company employs approxi- mately 90 persons in the design and manufacturing of automation and control systems for military ships and industrial applications, and also practice ordnance for military train- ing. TANO marine automation sys- tems have been installed on more than 240 ships for the U.S. Navy, Coast Guard, Military Sealift Com- mand, and U.S. Merchant Marine.

The Tenfjord unit is very com- pact, especially the M-type with its integral pump units, and space-sav- ing is an important factor within the after part of a ship's structure where the steering gear must necessarily be placed. The robust nature of the Tenfjord steering gear's construction makes it ideal for installation on deck, there are no exposed moving parts suscep- tible to damage and because the unit is completely enclosed there is little possibility of seawater or sand ingress into the gear. Over the years Tenfjord steering gears have proved themselves to be reliable in service and trouble free in operation, making these units universally popular with owners of all types of vessels but especially among fishermen. According to the manufacturer, over 5,000 vessels from more than 45 different coun- tries have Tenfjord steering gears installed.
