MA RIN-E. R-E:V 1-E-W January, 1926. Parsons White Brass in The Greater Detroit This vessel and her sister ship the GREATER BUFFALO of the Detroit & Cleveland Navigation Company embody the most advanced standards of ship building. They were built by the American Shipbuilding Company with particular attention to safety and uninterrupted service. The Greater Detroit’s Bearings— Conforming to the general plan of safety and uninter- rupted service, the main bearings, crank pin bearings and outboard bearings of these vessels are supplied with the best lining metal obtainable—Parsons White Brass, S. A. Its uniformity and durability ensure efficient service voyage after voyage. The metal’s high physical qualities, viz. elastic limit under compression, hardness as shown by the Brinnell test and low coefficient of friction ensure its durability, while the reputation of the makers is a guarantee of its uniformity. It is quickly melted, easily poured and easily machined. In the final analysis it is cheaper than other babbitts because replacements are fewer. Stocks kept in Boston, Buffalo, Cleveland, Detroit, Galveston, Mobile, New Orleans, New York and Philadelphia. Write for prices to— THE WILLIAM CRAMP & SONS SHIP & ENGINE BLDG.
