The ALDEN 11 MARINEFAX is the smallest radiofacsimile weather chart recorder ever de- signed for marine use. It can stow anywhere, mount any- where, even on a bulkhead.

It measures only 4" x 16" x 9 3/4" — occupies less than 1/3 cubic ft. of space. • IT'S THE LEAST

EXPENSIVE

Selling for just $2995* the

MARINEFAX is the lowest- cost weather facsimile record- er. For the first time, facsimile weather information is accessi- ble aboard older ships or small craft where a full-size ALDEN weather facsimile system can- not be justified. • IT'S THE SIMPLEST

TO USE

The MARINEFAX, operating in conjunction with any stable

HF receiver, is extremely sim- ple to operate. Special tuning lights permit quick, precise vi- sual tuning of the receiver.

Thereafter, the "record" and "stop" functions are control- led automatically by signals from the transmitting station.

To reload paper simply drop in replacement cassette. • IT DOES IT ALL

Just like hundreds of large

ALDEN 519 Marine Weather

Chart Recorders around the world, the MARINEFAX pro- vides a continuous flow of im- portant weather charts to the bridge. Charts which are rou- tinely broadcast (free to anyone with a recorder) from weather *Domestic U.S. Only. stations in all major coastal areas worldwide, include weath- er analysis, prognosis, sea-sur- face temperature, wave/swell/ sea condition, and others. • IT'S VERY RELIABLE

Although much smaller and less expensive, the MARINEFAX has all the ruggedness and reli- ability of the larger ALDEN 519systems. Solid-state circuit- ry, stainless steel and anodized aluminum hardware and con- servative mechanical and elect- rical designensure long,trouble- free operation. • IT'S A POWER MISER

The MARINEFAX is kind to small-boat batteries and power systems. It draws only 135 milliamps in standby, 300 mil- liamps while recording. Where required, a 50 watt inverter provides ample power. • IT'S EASY TO INSTALL,

MAINTAIN

Installation is a simple matter, requiring only connection to the signal output of your HF receiver, and plugging into ves- sel's power. The unit itself can be permanently mounted on a shelf or bulkhead, or left un- mounted for stowing when not in use. • IT'S ALL ALDEN

ALDEN radiofacsimile equip- ment for marine use is known and respected around the world, and has proved itself, year after year, in the toughest kind of duty. The MARINEFAX, back- ed by the ALDEN name, is designed and built to the same standards of excellence.
