OIL SEEPAGE!
PA CK WITH BELMONT
End that drip drip drip! It's a profit eater --a fire hazard--exposes all ypur opera* lions to possible loss.
Belmont 6100, illustrated above, is espe cially designed for use on rods and valve stems handling volatile distillates. Gaso line, naphtha, kerosene and benzol tend to break down ordinary lubricants. But Belmont 6100 use3 a special lubricant (our exclusive formula) that keeps it soft, retains its sealing qualities longer. The fact that many of the largest refineries use Belmont 6100 is proof that it does the job better.
6100 is just one item in the complete line of Belmont oil packings built to give maximum performance in all types of oil service. Belmont also makes packings for other services. And each Belmont Pack ing is constructed for ultimate wear and greater efficiency.
The complete line of BelmontPackings (for all types of services) is described in detail in the new FREE 1940 Catalog. Write for it on your company letterhead today!

Port Washington Station of the Wisco
Electric Power Co will be undertaken
once, according to an announcement
late in July by president S B Way. W
on the plant will be rushed so it will

Plans call for a second 80.000-kw
bine-generator to operate at a throt
pressure of 1250 lb and a temperature
850 F. The generator will be an I800-rp
hydrogen-cooled machine, similar in m
respects to the existing unit, which, hoi*
ever, is air cooled. A 600.000-lb-per
boiler will be installed to supply the n
turbine.
