AO Cornell tug ‘‘No. 41” — powered with a 330 B.H. P. Nelseco Diesel Engine. L.O.A. 93 ft.; B.21 ft.; D..10 fe. Owned and operated by the Cornell Steam- boat Company, New York City. Largest Tug Boat Owners Endorse Nelseco Diesels ERE is another proof of the dependability and efficiency of the Nelseco Diesel engine! For more than a year Cornell tug “No. 41” has been handling heavy tows between the Hudson and East Rivers in New York harbor, demonstrat- ing to the owners, beyond all question of doubt, the economy and satisfactory performance of Diesel operation. As the vessel is manned with double crews and has a fuel capacity good for 25-30 days, service is maintained continuously ... both day and night ... for nearly a month. The Cornell Steamboat Company is the largest owner of tug boats in the country and is a firm be- liever in Diesel power equipment. What this organization thinks of Diesel propulsion and the Nelseco Diesel engine is clearly shown by the following installation record: Tug, “Jumbo”—Nelseco Engine 600 B.H.P.—Installed 1924 Tug, “Lion” — Nelseco Engine 600 B.H.P. —Installed 1925 Tug, “Cornell”—Nelseco Engine 330 B.H.P.—Installed 1925 Tug, “No. 41”—Nelseco Engine 330 B.H.P.—Installed 1926 Tug, “No. 20”—Nelseco Engine 235 B.H.P.—Installed 1927 The latest addition to the fleet, “Tug No. 20,” is powered with a 235 B.H.P. Nelseco Diesel, which is connected to the propeller through a Cornell re- duction and reverse gear. This type of gear isa highly efficient unit and gives excellent flexibility of control. The installation was made under the direction of Mr. John Rodie, who is in charge of the Cornell Shops at Kingston, N. Y. Nelseco engineers will gladly help you with your power problems and will furnish astonishing figures on the low operating costs of Nelseco Diesel en- gines. Write for Pamphlet MR.
