A CAPTAIN'S NERVES; ... C. F. Jallorina, Master of the M/S MAYON was de- scribing his ship's newly installed Magnavox Satellite

Navigator MX 1142. "Now I'm always certain of my ship's position despite fog or bad weather and the safety en- hancement is a prime concern!' Captain Jallorina added. "Fuel savings by way of navigation efficiencies pay for this automatic Sat-Nav in a short time',' said Paul

Hibbert, Service Manager of COLLINS MARINE COR-

PORATION, San Francisco.

He commented that the officers of the MAYON under- stood the automatic navigation features of Magnavox

MX 1142 within an hour. They had become experts in its manual computations and maintenance within the day it was installed, he remarked.

Mr. Hibbert noted that the new owner-operators of the MAYON, Maritime Company of the Philippines,

Manila, have had six other of their world-wide fleet of vessels outfitted by COLLINS with new navigation equipment in recent months.The same Magnavox Sat-

Navs were installed in the line's carriers: ANTIPOLO,

PUERTA PRINCESSA, PALAWAN and PHILIPPINE
