AUTOMATED DIRECT PRINTING TELEGRAPH SYSTEMS FOR TRANSMISSION OF METEOROLOGICAL AND NAVIGATIONAL INFORMATION TO SHIPS

In this paper an automated system for promulgation of navigational warnings and other safety related information is described. The system comprises an automated and efficient reception on-board ships by means of a simple and inexpensive dedicated receive-only device producing the information directly on paper in written form. In addition to this an arrangement of the shore transmitting facilities is proposed to enable a rapid and suitable forwarding of information to the seafarers.
