Raytheon Introduces Newest SatCom

For Fishing And Pleasure Craft

Raytheon Marine Company has introduced the new, compact JUE-

The JRC JUE-35B SatCom video display unit, RO printer and telephone set from

Raytheon Marine Company. 35B SatCom for fishing and plea- sure craft as well as oceangoing ships. It provides 24-hour global maritime communications by tele- phone, telex, and facsimile, as well as data transmission for special ap- plications. The JUE-35B INMAR-

SAT Ship Earth Station, manufac- tured by Japan Radio Company, one of the world's largest manufac- turers of shipboard satellite commu- nications terminals, is available ex- clusively from Raytheon in the

United States, Mexico, and Scandi- navian countries.

The JUE-35B SatCom is similar to the popular JUE-35A SatCom except for its above deck equip- ment. The new model has a patent- ed single flywheel antenna stabiliza- tion system, rather than conven- tional, more expensive, vertical gyro-stabilization systems. The new antenna system has been thorough- ly tested at sea and has demon- strated reliability surpassing the 45,000-Hour Mean Time Between

Failure (MTBF) established by its predecessor, the JUE-35A.

The antenna measures 55.6 inches (139 cm) in diameter. It houses a 35.6-inch-diameter (89 cm) antenna dish. The ADE weighs only 330 pounds (150 kg).

The JUE-35B SatCom video dis- play unit features a 14-inch CRT, with large, easy-to-read characters

Crawford Fitting Introduces

Gap Inspection Gages For

SWAGELOK Tube Fittings

Gap inspection gages that provide a quick and easy way of confirming sufficient pull-up on SWAGELOK

Tube Fittings are available from

Crawford Fitting Company, Solon,

Ohio.

The gages are especially useful in hard-to-reach locations. If the gage does not fit in the gap between the fitting's nut and body shoulder, pull-up is sufficient. If it does fit, 32-Kbyte memory (expandable to 128-Kbyte) full word-processor ca- pabilities, telex message editing, and abbreviated automatic dialing for both telex and telephone calls.

The memory is capacitor protected against memory loss due to tran- sient power failure.

Raytheon's worldwide service network is fully trained to service the JRC SatCom as well as Ray- theon's full line of navigation and communications equipment.

For further literature containing full information,

Circle 333 on Reader Service Card the fitting has not been properly installed and more pull-up is needed.

The result is a reliable inspection method that insures worker safety and lowers cost by eliminating the chance of leakage due to under tightening.

Featuring stainless steel construc- tion for greater durability, the com- pact gage can be used with SWA-

GELOK Tube Fittings in sizes from %- to I-inch and from 3- to 25-mm.
