October, 1925 MARINE REVIEW 21 Pilot house control of the ship is another adjunct of . The nerve-center of the J. W. Van Dyke Diesel Electric Drive A Ship with a Brain ENTRALIZED CONTROL—every opera- tion of every machine from propeller motor to cargo pumps, within reach of a man’s hands— this is one of the possibilities realized with Diesel Electric Drive. Economical use of the same power units for. many applications eliminating the necessity of separate en- gines for each pump or winch, is another advantage of this system. And this energy can be transferred from one to another at this central control station—the main switchboard. The switchboard is the nerve-center of the ship. This Centralized Control of the J. W.Van Dyke, illus- trates the advance made by Westinghouse engineers and places Westinghouse products at the highest point of modern marine practice.
