Alden Introduces New

Facsimile Transceiver —Literature Available

Alden Electronics, Inc. of West- boro, Mass., announces the intro- duction of a new facsimile transceiv- er for shipboard installations. The

Alden FAX 340 III is compatible with all Group 3 systems, and oper- ates over a variety of communica- tions links including phone line, mi- crowave, and satellite communica- tions systems. This feature makes the small desktop transceiver ideal for shipboard as well as land-based facsimile communications applica- tions. The FAX 340 III interface to shipboard satcom systems is simple and straightforward.

The new unit will transmit a page-sized document in less than 30 seconds. A line skip transmission mode skips over blank sections, greatly reducing transmission time.

An automatic backgound control automatically discriminates be- tween color and background and copy, and "whites out" the back- ground so every image is a black image on a white background.

A fine mode feature allows the transmission of finely detailed dia- grams, maps, etc. A liquid crystal display panel serves as a clock and provides complete verification of each transmission or reception made. Finally, the FAX 340 III will store and print out, on command, a complete activity report that iden- tifies each exchange as a transmis- sion or reception, phone number and/or code for the receiving or transmitting station, and time/date information.

THERE ARE JUST

TWO KINDS OF VENT VALVES...

Wager Vent Valves (THEN ALLTHE OTHERS)

Circle 339 on Reader Service Card

We make Wager Vent

Valves-strong, true, rugged performers. These are vent valves you can count on for the long haul, in all kinds of sea, in all kinds of weather.

No one comes close to Wager in fine quality of design, materials, and workmanship-yet you can have Wager valves and pay about the same, sometimes surprisingly less than you might spend elsewhere.

Some marine people have asked us why we don't come up with a"blind"line of less exacting quality-just to compete with those lowest bidders. But we are not interested in producing "makeshift" valves, with the troubles they may give you at sea and the delays for replacement they may cause you in port.

Write us for spec sheets-no obligation.

Wager has meant finest quality back to our introduction of the innovative "ball float"valve in 1933. We have perfected that valve along the way. If we hit on a way to perfect it further-we will.

Quite simply: Wager makes the best vent valves in the business.

We intend to keep it that way. 20 Maritime Reporter/Engineering News
