Compact 100-Watt SSB

Offered By ITT Mackay —Literature Available

A new single-sideband radio- telephone designed for small com- mercial vessels, while meeting

FCC requirements for use as a shore station, has been introduced by the ITT Mackay Marine Divi- sion of International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation.

Measuring less than 5 inches high, 14 inches wide, and 18 inches deep, the compact Mackay Marine 6100 is suited for use on vessels where space is critical and de- pendability and simplicity of op- eration are required.

The radiotelephone can be in- stalled on any convenient flat sur- face, such as a tabletop, bulkhead, or overhead.

Operating features of the

Mackay Marine 6100 include 100- watt PEP transmitter output, a 2 to 9 MHz frequency range, com- plete solid-state circuitry, field programmability, 24 frequency synthesized channels, and a choice of simplex or semi-duplex opera- tion on all channels. It weighs 25 pounds.

MARU^MD)" LINE BLIND

An incredibly simple solution to a serious shipboard problem.

I

I

The problem:

Leakage in shipboard piping— leakage that allows segregated fluids to mix. The potential danger to your _ cargo and even to your ship is so seri- ous it can't be measured in money.

IVorics Better: A unique positive seating twin disc seal allows the

Marland Line Blind to be inspected for leakage while it's in service. A quick look into the body of the valve is all it takes. Should there ever be a leak, you can fix it in min- utes—before it can become a problem.

Less Maintenance: Marland

Line Blinds will last indefinitely be- cause there is no metal-to-metal seating to produce friction and wear. The only replacement parts are gaskets your crew can cut aboard ship from standard sheet packing!

Costs Less; Because of the unique efficiency of its design, the

Marland Line Blind sells for 30% to 50% less than competing products.

And that doesn't take into account the money and time they will save in maintenance.

The solution:

The Marland Line Blind—a simple, trouble-free device that works better, needs less maintenance and costs less than any competing prod- uct! Available in standard IPS sizes 2 in. through 18 in. with custom sizes on request.
