Radiomarine Introduces

Complete New Line

Of Marine Radars

An impressive array of advanced marine radar systems—the first complete new line developed by a

U.S. manufacturer in recent years —has been announced by Radio- marine Corporation, Red Bank,

N.J. The radars will be made in this country.

C. Webber Parrish, Radio- marine's vice president-general manager, said the new radar line is designed to provide greater navi- gating safety for commercial ves- sels in harbors, rivers and on the high seas. "The sizeable engineer- ing development investment re- quired to produce this new line demonstrates Radiomarine's faith in our Government's commitment to rebuild America's once-great merchant marine fleet," Mr. Par- rish declared.

He stressed that the new radars will be manufactured solely in the

United States and will offer a host of radar innovations. Mr. Parrish said the entire line utilizes inte- grated circuits and features ex- tremely reliable, accurate data for collision avoidance programs. Anti- collision alarms are available as options with all units.

The line includes 3 CM radar units available with -40-kw or 75- kw minimum peak power, and 10

CM units with 30-kw or 50-kw minimum peak power.' All units feature a big 16-in-ch display and provide seven rartges of lyi, 3, 6, 12,.24, and 48 miles. Circuit boards of all models are plug-in type for fast inspection and serv- ice, and the .^individual .modules can be quickly replaced without re- moval or tearing down of entire circuit boards.

Charles E. Moore, Radiomarine's vice president-engineering and Jo- seph Hnat, project engineer, said a large number of special features are contained in the new radar line.

These include variable range mark- er, off-centering, built-in reflection plotter, crystal stabilization high accuracy range rings and transmit- ter repetition rates, electronic bear- ing marker, low noise figure, AFC, servo-controlled deflection coil, heading or north-up stabilized pic- ture and true or relative motion.

All units also provide a range accuracy of 1 percent, and a range resolution of 20 yards with a bear- ing accuracy of 1 degree. Mini- mum range of all models is 20 yards. The units are also compact- ly designed so as to occupy mini- mum space in crowded navigation centers aboard ships.

Mr. Moore said large vessels using Radiomarine's new radars will be afforded maximum surveil- lance protection while under way.

The 3 CM unit will be ideal, he said, for approaches to harbors and for movement within crowded har- bor areas, while the 10 CM unit will give less sea return from rain, thus providing better coverage in the open sea.

Mr. Moore also stressed that the complete interchangeability of components will enable vessels to maintain minimum parts supplies on board. For the first time, he said, vessels can avoid radar down- time simply by carrying two sets of spares. This way, he stated, if one part needs replacement, one spare can be used, keeping the sec- ond spare in reserve, and enabling the faulty part to be dropped off for service without delay or sacri- ficing backup protection.

One good measure of bond strength and rubber greatness is a deflection test.

Our Dock Fenders test out with a whopping 70% deflection. Still bonded, still with tons of energy absorp- tion power for more pro- tection.

Super Heavy-Duty

Modular Fenders. Steel mounting plates mean fast, strong welded installation.

Installation and maintenance cost less. Replacement is less expensive, too —the damaged module or segment (it happens, you know) can be replaced individually.

Choose from two basic styles that make up con- tinuous protective fenders.

Customized to fit curves, too.

Super Extruded Rubber

Fenders. Choose from six basic shapes in lengths up to 20 feet. They can be pre- curved, with special modifi- cations for unusual needs.

All six are easy to install, either suspended or bolted into place.

BUT THAT'S NOT ALL, FOLKS!

If the three lines above don't fit your needs, BJ fendering specialists can help you custom engineer the best protection.

Super Fenders are from BJ rubber and bond- ing specialists (and the great engineers of Borg-Warner).

And protection is our business.
