The Wolverine (Continued from Page 17) sented to him at his home in Erie. He was so overcome with emotion at this evidence of the affectionate esteem of his many friends in the navy that his eyes filled with tears and words failed him. The MICHIGAN’S record of being al- most continuously in commission for eighty years is unique. There are other ships which are older, like the CONSTITUTION and the CONSTELLATION, but they have been rebuilt or repaired and, for many years, have only been commissioned for a few months at a time. As Mr. Bowen says, “her career has been peaceful,” which brings to mind the old saying, “‘Blessed is the nation that has no history.” For nearly one hundred and twenty years peace has existed with our great neighbor of the north. On the long border from Lake Superior to the Pacific there is not a single fort. In like manner, the peace- ful summer cruises of the MICHIGAN bear testimony to the same fact. The two great peoples, who have the same language, the language of Shakespeare and Milton, of Hampden and Crom- well and Burke, ought to be friends, and for more than a century they have been an example for the world. Making Freight Rates (Continued from Page 29) and that which must be paid for over a period of years. If additional equipment is needed it is conservative to charge this to operating cost and pay for it during the probable period of movement of the cargo. For example, if it is ad- visable to build special slings for loading and unloading unboxed auto- mobiles during the period of a six months contract, this gear should be written off in that period. Careful analysis is necessary to prevent loss in the matter of termi- nal hire. The most effective results are ob- tained in the application of the out- of-pocket or differential cost prin- ciple of rate making when there is cooperation and mutual understand- ing between the operating and traf- fic departments. The best traffic man is the one who knows at least something of cargo handling, and the best operating man is the one who understands some of the essentials of traffic management, particularly the more important principles of rate making. According to an announcement re- cently received, the strike called by the Mobile local of the International Longshoremen’s union, which went in- to effect June 18, 1934, was settled in a manner Satisfactory to both sides on 40 July 9, 1934. Longshoremen continue to be employed on an open-shop basis. Modern ee (Continued from Page 35) A 3-ton, 35-foot boom, American Hoist Derrick Co. crane is installed outboard of port forward corner of the cargo house in way of the rake of the hull. The operating platform is located on the house roof. The cur- rent for all motors and lights is sup- plied from a shore line running on the levee. Special provisions are made in order to take care of the slack in the intermediate feeder, due to the wharf boat movement, and also for the difference of height at low and higk water stages. The transformers, meters and distribution panels are mounted on a frame located in the wharf boat office. The wharf boat is moored by means of four steel cables to two re- inforced concrete deadmen. Two 90- feot long spar poles serve to breast the wharf boat from the shore. One end of each spar pole rests on a roller located on the deck in the way of each rake and is connected to the deck strap by means of two block tackle, The shore end of each spar pole is lashed to a mooring ring also by means of a tackle. The mooring rings for each spar pole are located 5 feet apart on a reinforced concrete beam on the levee. Thus, in accord- ance with different river stages, the end of each spar pole can be re- lashed. It is the opinion of those who have seen this terminal that, although it is relatively inexpensive, it has proved itself to be the most suitable type for river communities where the difference between the high and low water stages makes the construc- tion of shore warehouses and grain handling facilities difficult and ex- pensive. The John Huntington Polytechnic institute, Cleveland, in cooperation with The Lincoln Electric Co., is of- fering a special 5-day course in weld- ing engineering, which began on July 23. This advanced course is being re- peated at this time due to increased activity in the welding industry and to demand for an intensive advanced training course. It will be conducted once each month except during Au- gust of this year. The day sessions will be held be- tween 10:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. at the plant of The Lincoln Electric Co., at its welding school, under the direc- tion of Arthur Madson and Dean New- ton; while the evening sessions be- tween 7:30 and 9:30 will be devoted to lectures and discussions at the in- stitute. MARINE REVIEW—August, 1934 Hemlock, Tender (Continued from Page 14) supplied by Allan Cunningham, Seat- tle. Two steam engine driven elec- tric generating sets were made and supplied by the Troy Engine & Ma- chine Co., Troy, Pa. A complete pumping equipment is installed, including main circulating pump, fire and bilge pump, sanitary pump, main feed pump, main air pump, fresh water pump, auxiliary feed pump, two fuel oil service pumps, and a fuel oil transfer pump. All pumps were supplied by the Worthing- ton Pump & Machinery Corp., Harri- son, N. J. The refrigerating machin- ery was supplied by the Frigidaire Corp., Dayton, O. One main con- denser serves both engines. Heavy Lift Equipment Equipment for the handling of buoys and the heavy material used in the servicing of lights, consists of a der- rick mast and a 50-foot boom, capable of dealing with weights up to 20 tons. A four-drum steam cargo winch, lo- cated in the forward hold, provides the power for the boom movements. An 8 x 9-foot steel hatch cover gives access to the forward hold, which is used for the stowage of heavy lines and for the carrying of supplies and building materials. Among the items of special equip- ment placed aboard the HrmMtiLock is the deep sea anchoring gear. The ves- sel is equipped with two 1500-pound anchors, and one 1000-pound anchor. Mounted on the forecastle head is a special winch with which is combined a drum for handling steel cable. The drum, carrying 167 fathoms of one-inch cable, provides sufficient scope for an- choring in the deep water. In addition to the usual navigating equipment to be found aboard light- house tenders intended for outside service, a fathometer and also a gyro- compass with repeaters, are fitted. As much of the landing of supplies and building materials must be done by means of small boats, the HemMLock is provided with a 24-foot power boat, two 24-foot cargo boats, both of heavy construction, and a lighter boat. Tanks for the carrying of fuel oil are located at the forward end of the boiler room and have a capacity of 29,189 gallons. Drinking water tanks and galley fuel tanks are in the for- ward hold. Boiler feed water is car- ried in a built-in tank located under the crew’s quarters forward. The Ca- pacity is 16,540 gallons.
