Fay Morning announces a ceremony on April 9 at 11:30 marking Trill Indicator Company’s role in keeping Liberty ships running. The firm, sole producer of steam engine indicators for over four decades, supplies instruments critical to measuring horsepower and adjusting valves, underpinning the power and speed of the Victory Fleet during global conflict.
The article describes the Maritime M pennant carried in white on blue with a gold star, awarded by the government to outstanding contributors to the Victory fleet shipbuilding program. It details the Victory Fleet Flag, the Maritime Eagle symbol, and the Victory Fleet emblem combining VW with an American eagle. It also notes the Maritime Merit Badge for workers in Maritime Commission plants, featuring blue red and silver elements with an Award of Merit inscription.
The Maritime M Award will be presented to Trill Indicator Company employees by Colonel Willard F. Rockwell, director of production for the United States Maritime Commission. Rockwell, a Boston native and MIT graduate, has long been linked with transportation and war work and holds multiple corporate chairmanships.
The color guard of Lieut Archie W. Thompson Post No 264 Veterans of Foreign Wars will assist at the ceremonies, while the Boy Scouts and Gil Stouts will act as ushers.
