A trial trip that was never completed T ISN’T often that the trial trip of a new vessel is turned into a cargo carrying trip. But that is what happened to the freighter, “Steel Electrician”, which was launched recently by the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Kearny, N. J. So successful were the preliminary tests that the owners decided to cancel further trials and to head the vessel for Philadelphia to pick up a cargo of sugar. This vessel, owned by the U.S. Steel Products Company —a subsidiary of the U.S. Steel Corporation, is a Diesel- electric drive freighter powered with three 300 B. H. P. Nelseco Diesel Engines—Type 4 MI-22. These depend- able power units operate motor generators at a speed of 225 RP. MM. All of the engine room equipment and deck machinery of this vessel are electrically driven. Nelseco engineers will be glad to tell you about other in- teresting Nelseco Diesel installations.
