Extract

In this paper, which was presented in a fuller version at an Ordinary Meeting of the Institute held in London on 20 December 1963, Mr. Kurz of the United States Maritime Administration and Mr. Bentkowsky and Captain Quinn, both of the Sperry-Piedmont Company, describe a control console for ships which was developed by the Sperry-Piedmont Company under contract from the Maritime Administration. The console, which has its sea trials early this year, comprises five sub-consoles which cater for navigation aids, communications-radar, steering, position plot, and ship condition. The paper enumerates the advantages that might be expected from such an arrangement.
