Demonstrations made on appointment Leaving Buffalo with a cargo of crude oil, this vessel navigates slowly down the winding, tortu- ous Buffalo Creek, spanned with several draw bridges; then crosses Lake Erie; then passes through the Welland Canal with its chain of 25 locks in 15 miles; and then crosses Lake Ontario to the storage tanks of McColl Bros., Ltd.,on the outskirts of Toronto. This trip, on account of the diffi- cult service, requires frequent and Oil tanker “Puloe Brani’’, the first Diesel-powered vessel to operate between Buffalo and Toronto. L. O.

MARINE REVIEW quick maneuvering. But with her twin Nelseco Diesel Engines, the “Puloe Brani” handles herself as easily as if she were a tug boat instead of an ocean-going tanker. Not only do the two 3008S. H. P. Nelseco Diesel engines handle quickly, but their installation has meant a remarkable saving in fuel costs. On block tests these engines showed a fuel consumption of only .39 lbs. per horse-power hour. Nelseco engineers will be glad to tell you about other interesting Nelseco Diesel installations. In writing ask for Pamphlet MR, which describes the latest types of Nelseco Diesel Engines. ¢ NEW LONDON SHIP & ENGINE COMPANY Groton, Conn., U.S. A.
