The new generation Concept radar systems from Kelvin Hughes provide a unique and flexible approach to ergonomic bridge layout.

Concept HR series has been developed to achieve total radar system integration in either existing vessels or bridge designs for the 90's.

The high-resolution monitor, keyboard and processor can be situated remotely in any configuration - either bulkhead, deck console, deck head or desk mounted, or can form one fully-integrated unit in which the monitor angles can be adjusted to suit operator preference. Additional remote monochrome or colour monitors can also be included in the Concept package.

Concept HR systems offer Relative

Motion, True Motion and ARPA facilities, combined with E-Plot II, an enhanced version of the unique Kelvin Hughes electronic plotting program. Identical positioning of keyboard controls for these features throughout the range assists operational confidence and familiarity.

Now, all ship data and status can be ideally zoned for instant assimilation, making Concept HR the perfect radar system for today's navigational realities. ^Tio"" 160 80 1/0

Free Butterworth Brochure

Details Types K/Super K

Tank Cleaning Machines

Butterworth Tank Cleaning Ma- chines, Inc. of Houston, Texas, is offering free color literature on

Types "K" and "Super K" tank cleaning machines that are mar- keted by the company.

Available for both sale and rental on a worldwide basis, Butterworth tank cleaning machines incorporate the latest design technology. They are powered by an internal turbine that is driven by the flow and pres- sure of the cleaning fluid. To meet individual tank cleaning require- ments and flow of the cleaning fluid, the machines are available with var- ious nozzle sizes and gearboxes.

The literature explains that an installation on tankers using But- terworth tank cleaning machines consists basically of a pump, heater, water supply pipelines and hy- drants, all discussed in the bro- chure. The hose and tank cleaning machine supported by a quadrant deck plate are inserted into the tank through openings in the deck.

Weighing less than 50 pounds, these machines are used both as portables and fixed-in-place units.
