July 15, 1978 Butterworth Introduces Stainless-Steel Tank Cleaning Machine Butterworth Systems Inc. has developed a reliable, easily main- tained stainless-steel machine de- signed for cleaning tanks. The lightweight BUTTER- WORTH® LT tank cleaning ma- chine uses rotating jets, which crisscross and overlap the entire inner surface of the tank. Four cycles, from light rinse to heavy wash, are provided. By varying flow rates and nozzle pressures, the LT machine is suitable for almost any tank cleaning job. Satisfying the requirements for both clean-in-place and portable tank cleaning, one LT machine outperforms several sprayballs in speed and efficiency by covering a larger area with a more concen- trated cleaning pattern that uses less washing fluid. The highly corrosion-resistant LT machine can be used with vir- tually all types of hot and cold cleaning fluids. Its advanced de- sign and materials deliver high reliability with ease of mainte- nance and in-plant repair. For more information, contact Donald Powell, Butterworth Sys- tems Inc., 224 Park Avenue, Flor- ham Park, N.J. 07932. Navigate with the Simrad LC-204 Loran C Receive and the remarkable CC-2 Navigation Computer: 'e can set No matter how well a ship is steered, its course will seldom coincide exactly with the intended track. Usually a correc- tion is required after each position fix. Sometimes sizeable corrections must be made. But no matter how large or small, each correction costs extra time and fuel, and those extras can add up quickly. Simrad now offers electronic navigation equipment that can greatly help in smoothing out your course and increase lige profitability. Simrad's fully automatic LC-204 Loran C receiver will track your position anywhere within its ocean-spanning 2500 mile range. It's a must for most large ships operating in the U.S. Coastal Confluence Zone. Simrad's new CC-2 Navigation Computer can help you eliminate wandering. Your intended track is stored electron- ically and your actual course is continuously compared. You can actually steer down your intended track with Loran C accuracy. But the CC-2 Navigation Computer is more than just an ultra-accurate course minder. It's a complete naviga- tion system, with all the position and steering data you need, completely independent of any other shipboard system. Besides providing second station monitoring of the Loran C receiver, it continuously reads out your present position in lat long coordinates. It provides bearing and distance information from present position to destination. It gives you time remaining between waypoints and speed over the bottom. It advises you of the recommended courses for sailing between as many as nine waypoints and actually tells you how far, left or right, you are from each of those courses. Finally, it alerts you when you are within one mile of your destination, whether it's dockside or an isolated lat/long position a thousand miles at sea. Simrad —the world leader in Loran C receiver tech- nology—is proud to bring you a new dimension in electronic navigation, and happy we can help save you time and fuel.
