When Familiarity Breeds Respect t.. acquaintance brings increased confidence in - Diesel-electric drive. Since its first taste of salt water, a little more than ten years ago, it has been sailing fast into more and greater fields of usefulness. To-day, its many good points are becoming increasingly evident to the large number of ship operators who are proving its merit on the basis of actual service. Most recent among these is the Mystic Steamship Company. Judgment based on the wisdom and experience of eighty-three years lies back of its choice of G-E Diesel-electric drive for its two new tugboats, the Luna and Venus. Preference for Diesel-electric drive is founded on sound reason. As a versatile type of power plant, it has no com- petitor. Its flexible power turns the propeller at the correct speed for performing its task most efficiently. It also furnishes current for lighting, cooking, and numer- ous other tasks, both at sea and in port. In addition to electric equipment for Diesel-electrie drive, General Electric manufactures complete turbine propulsion machinery, motors and control for ships’ auxiliaries, searchlights, and marine accessories of many kinds.
