A MODULAR INTEGRATED BRIDGE SYSTEM

This paper will discuss AUTO-MATE, a practical integrated bridge system which makes maximum use of computer technology and state-of- the-art electronics, yet offers an "owners oriented," modular building block approach in which only those functions desired by the buyer are included while retaining the ability to add other functions later without costly obsolescence. The system is also discussed from the viewpoint of technical considerations and usage and the practical results of the design in meeting the needs of the shipowner.
