Skuld Undergoes Major

Changes In Structure

Skuld, the International Protec- tion and Indemnity and FD & D

Insurance Association based in

Scandinavia, recently underwent major changes in its structure.

Changes include reorganization of the board of directors into a smaller, more dynamic unit supported by a committee of shipowners repre- senting a cross section of the mem- bers, the adoption of totally revised statutes and rules, the election of a new chairman, and the appointment of a new managing director.

The new statutes outline the structure of the mutual club, which is subject to the requirements of the members who give voice to their wishes by voting at the general meeting that elects the board of directors, who in turn are empow- ered to appoint the managing direc-

Comparison

Tests Prove

PATHFINDER/ST

Radars See What

Other Radars Can't.

In side-by-side comparison tests, a

PATHFINDER/ST display and a conven- tional radar display were connected to the same radar system. PATHFINDER/ST consistently displayed targets not detec- ted by the conventional display.

Optimum Resolution

Displays are

Clearly Superior.

PATHFINDER/ST raster scan PPI images are refreshed 50 times each second. This eliminates the annoying "flicker" found in other radar systems.

The number of pixels has been carefully chosen for optimum resolution. The re- sult is an extremely sharp, ultra-bright image that is easy to view, day or night.

PATHFINDER/ST ARPA: 34-cm or 25-cm

PPI's (16" or 12" diagonal CRT IMO equivalents), provide automatic tracking of up to 40 targets with vectors and readouts for most dangerous 20. Have auto and manual acquisition, and unique trial maneuvers.

Superior Technology

Will Clearly Fit

Your Needs.

PATHFINDER/ST Radars satisfy a very wide range of installation and operating requirements. Signal multi- plexing reduces connections between

PATHFINDER/ST receivers and dis- plays. This, combined with electronic interswitching for dual systems, the abil- ity to mount transceivers "up" in antenna pedestals, or "down" in separate cabi- nets, and keyboard entry of all set-up parameters, makes any installation straightforward, simple, and economical.

In addition to having the optional IMO- required, antenna-mounted performance monitors, PATHFINDER/ST Radar soft- ware provides menus for extensive self- testing of virtually every function.

Worldwide Approval and Support.

Raytheon PATHFINDER/ST Radars are designed to meet or exceed all applica-
