Balance the Investment between Bridge and Engine Room N the industrial power plant the engi- nnn nnn nieer has jurisdiction over the generation of power, its distribution and use. On board ship this responsibility is necessarily divided. The engineer generates the power and de- livers it to the propeller, where he hands it over to the captain. The economical conversion of this power to miles traversed toward a given destina- tion can be accomplished only by the aid of efficient bridge equipment. A good seaman will make his destination although his compass may be subject to varying errors from many causes. But under such a handicap he is forced to cancel the result of many years progress in marine engineering. The only way to insure a full return from the investment in propulsion ma- chinery is to provide the bridge with the most modern equipment -— the SPERRY GYRO-COMPASS and GYRO-PILOT. The economies provided by this equipment have led to its adoption by 120 of the Bridge equipment is. responsible for World’s leading steamship companies.
