Robbins Starts In-House

Heat Treatment, Passivation

Robbins Manufacturing Co., Inc. (RMC) has installed new, atmo- spheric furnaces for the heat treat- ment of its stainless steel and non- ferrous bolts, screws and special cold- formed parts. This most recent de- velopment is a major part of RMC's continuous effort to enhance quality and service, while maintaining com- plete traceability.

In addition, RMC has installed a fully-automated passivation and coating line which allows its stain- less and non-ferrous products to be processed to high quality specifica- tions. The new passivation equip- ment complements RMC's policies of providing total capability for the recouping, and recycling, of all solu- tions.

AMPS Expands Repair

Capabilities To Woodward

Governor's Equipment

Automated Marine Propulsion

Systems, Inc. (AMPS), of LaPorte,

Texas, has expanded its repair ca- pabilities to include the servicing of

Woodward Governor's equipment.

AMPS has purchased test stands from Woodward and now has the ability to fully repair and test both

Woodward mechanical and elec- tronic governors. Also, AMPS'tech- nicians have been trained at

Woodward's facilities in Fort Collins,

Colo. The decision has been made for AMPS to service Woodward gov- ernors because most Woodward au- thorized facilities do not repair and service complicated remote control systems, fuel systems and related equipment, as does AMPS.

RAYTHEON

An unparalleled worldwide sales and service network.

Raytheon and JRC are the only com- panies that can supply you with every

GMDSS product you need, all made by one manufacturer. Each JRC compo- nent has been designed specifically to work as part of your totally integrated

GMDSS installation.

For example, JRC makes the only GMDSS that provides the added simplicity and safety of having a single control unit which manages every aspect of standard MF/HF communication, plus the automatic trans- mission, monitoring and reception of DSC emergency alert signals.

With this superior, high level of dedication to GMDSS available from Raytheon, there is no reason to settle for outdated products, even if they come assembled in a pretty console. Raytheon can provide your com- plete ultra-modern GMDSS installation with maximum flexibility for bulkhead, table top or console mounting, for retrofits or new construction.

As a world leader in research and develop- ment of military electronics, Raytheon is on the cutting edge of today's most advanced technology. For five years we have worked very closely with JRC, ship owners, opera- tors and crew members to determine the most functional, easy-to-use, ultra-reliable designs for GMDSS products. As a result, no other company can match the level of sophistication and the commitment to excellence that are part of every product we offer.

Our GMDSS equipment is type approved in some countries already, and approvals are pending in others, all over the world.

But, wherever you sail with GMDSS from

Raytheon aboard, you have the added con- fidence that comes from being protected by the world's largest, most experienced, marine electronics service network.
