ALINE RVICW October, 1927 Twin screw tanker ‘‘Colonial Bea- con”’ built by Sun Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Company for the Bea- con Oil Company of Boston. All propulsion and auxiliary sets by Fairbanks-Morse As ever—the leader ed opposite is typical of the wide line of Diesels that offer two-cycle simplicity with minimum operat- ing and maintenance costs The simple sturdy Diesels used for main propulsion and auxiliaries in this modern 253-foot tanker, are a clear-cut example of what can be accomplished by constant and painstaking development of one sound principle of Diesel construction. Two 360-hp. Diesels drive her twin screws. Two 50 kw. F-M Diesel-Generator Sets and one 18 kw. Diesel-Generator set supply current for motors and lighting. These units all share the basic advantages of Fairbanks-Morse two-cycle construction with airless fuel injection—the principle that is common to the wide line of F-M propulsion engines in ratings from 20 to 840 hp. and marine type auxiliary units from 18 kw to 120 kw. From this broad line the builder or owner of any type of marine craft can choose Diesels and auxiliaries exactly suited to his service—Diesels that are the product of a plant where every step of pro- duction is controlled by the designers of the engine— Deisels that have proved their reliability on every type of craft—Deisels that are the product of a plant that is building more engines for marine and stationary service than all other manufacturers combined.
