AUTOMATIC DIAL TELEPHONE SYSTEM

THE

PAX-PABX

DESIGNED

EXCLUSIVELY

FOR

MARINE USE

After two years of technological and marketing research, the HOSE-McCANN

TELEPHONE CO., INC., has developed a completely new automatic dial telephone system.

The new solid state telephone system, known as the "SERIES 9000", was developed especially for use in the maritime industry, to meet the most demanding requirements for ships at sea.

The primary objective was to build a marine communication system with the highest degree of reliability, flexibility and and optimum performance.

Many features are included in the system as stan- dard equipment, and some optional features are available for soecial requirements.

The "SERIES 9000" will provide marine personnel with a sophisticated communications system equal to the finest land-based telephone systems.

RAYTHEON MARINE

Raytheon Marine Company of

Manchester, N.H., has introduced two new low-cost rasterscan radars so that all workboat operators can benefit from the new technology that has made radar more afford- able. The 3604 and 3610 radars, with maximum ranges of 36 and 64 nautical miles, will also serve as backup units for oceangoing ships.

Using digital rasterscan technolo- gy, with high-resolution (512 lines), 12-inch-diagonal TV type displays, the new radars provide sharp, con- tinuous 360-degree pictures that are easy to read from a distance. Stan- dard features include electronic bearing line, variable range marker,

SeaGuard intrusion alarm, interfer- ence rejection, selectable target ex- pander, and on-screen tuning.

In addition to the new rasterscan radars, of major importance is Ray- theon's introduction of a new DSL- 150 doppler speed log that helps workboat and ship operators meet

IMO requirements. The highly ac- curate DSL-150 interfaces with ra- dar, ARPA, satellite navigators, and other equipment, and has a wide range of interfacing remote dis- plays. The display has a three-digit, red LED readout indicating speed from zero to 30 knots in K„-knot increments. Distance run is indi- 26 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
