MARINEFAX IS PROUD

TO HAVE BROUGHT YOU

SOME OF THE WORST

WEATHER IN HISTORY.

Hurricane Gloria, September 29,1985. Eighty knot winds and hundreds of boats damaged or destroyed. But some mariners had an Alden Marinefax® weather chart recorder aboard and had prepared for the storm.

For over a decade Marinefax has been bringing you the weather-in advance. Charts that help you plan your course around the worst weather-or into the best.

Over the years, Marinefax has changed with the times.

Today's Marinefax TRI has fully automatic chart reception, and features an exceptionally precise radio which locks onto the frequency, eliminating the "drift" common to most other radio receivers. Our dry-paper charts are big and bright, with exceptional resolution, even in multi-contrast satellite photographs.

At Alden we specialize in the weather-only weather. So each Marinefax is built to the same standards of performance as our professional meteorological equipment. Standards which have won Alden Marinefax seven consecutive NMEA awards for performance and reliability.

For more information on how Marinefax TRI can bring you the weather, contact Alden Electronics, 136 Washington

Street, Westborough, MA 01581. (617) 366-8851.
