Boats using UPSON'S IMPROVED SOUNDING MACHINE a wan PATENT DEPTH GAUGE are insured against delay, as soundings can easily be taken with vessel running at full speed.

RUDDER FRAMES WELDED IN. PLACE '?/ the British Corporation for the Survey and Regis- try of Shipping. The Thermit Process enables you to weld brok- en sternposts, rudder frames, shafts, etc., without removing them from the vessel. All of our appli- ances are portable and may be brought to the job. No outside power is required with the exception of a small supply of compressed air. * Thermit is a mixture of finely divided aluminum and iron oxide which burns up and produces liquid steel at a temperature of 5,4009F. Thisis poured into a mould surrounding the broken sections and the intense heat of the Thermit steel causes it to dissolve the metal with which it comes in contact, amalgamating with it to form a homogeneous mass when cool. Pamphlet No. 20-E tells all about it. Write for a copy and for "Reactions", the Thermit Quarterly.
