November, 1926 fe = yg es Zz “4.4. fifty AZ MARINE REVIEW ~~ ~ FOR SAFETY EQUIPMENT ONE RAILROAD in the United States has announced that they are spending $8,000,000 for the extension of safety signalling and train control equipment, an amount almost sufficient to provide half of the world’s ships of five thousand or more tons with Sperry Gyro-Compasses. In addition to being ‘‘True North’’ indicating, the Sperry Gyro-Compass affords means for steer- ing better courses; taking ‘‘True’’ bearings visually or by the radio direction finder; recording the ship's course and steering the ship automatically through ‘‘Metal Mike’’ (The Sperry Gyro-Pilot). The best compass obtainable is aS. fiecessaty for the sate operation of ships as safety equipment is for railroads. In neither instance should there be any compromise with “good enough.” Improve both the safety and efh- ciency of your ships with Sperry Gyro-Compasses, “The soul of the modern ship.” Our engineers will be pleased to make a special study of your compass and steering gear problems.
