November, 1926 MARINE REV IEE Ww 43 Modernize the Fleet with Oil-Electric Drive ‘THE successful operation of the Oil-Electric tanker ‘‘J. W. Van Dyke,’’ formerly the ‘‘S.S. Allentown,”’ has resulted in the sale of three more of the United States Shipping Board tankers from the ‘‘laid-up™ fleet. These tankers, which were sold to the Atlantic Refining Company, will be converted to Oil-Electric drive Ingersoll-Rand Oil Engines have again been se- lected for driving the main generators and exciters, and Ingersoll-Rand Oil Engines will be installed for driving the auxiliary generators. Oil-Electric drive, with its fuel economy, flexibil- ity, pilot house control, and modern auxiliaries, provides the operating features needed to place more of the U. S. S. B’s. idle ships in service. Passenger and cargo ships, freighters, and addi- tional tankers can be modernized by the installa- tion of Oil-Electric drive, a form of propulsion that is distinctly an American development. The manipulation of Oil-Electric power provides the numerous combinations necessary to meet, economically and efficiently, all regular and emer- gency power requirements at sea, in the harbor, and at the dock. A new bulletin, ‘‘Marine Oil Engines for Direct and Electric Drive’’ describes the Ingersoll-Rand marine oil engines installed in the largest privately owned Oil-Electric Fleet in the world.
