RIGHT International, 27 September 1962 wta/mtA- The magic word of adventure — the key to man's advance in every field of endeavour. The statue of Champlain holding high his astrolabe to the Parlia ment Buildings in Ottawa, exemplifies the very "Spirit of Exploration" - prob ing into the unknown and broadening man's horizons. Such is the task of Computing Devices of Canada Limited - opening new frontiers in the develop ment of airborne integrated navigation systems and displays, photographic sys tems, advanced electronic instrumenta tion, aerophysics and space research — in fact, explorations and discoveries in the broad spectrum of science in the service of man. The ASTROLABE, an ancient navigational computing de vice, played an important role in SAMUEL DE CHAM- PLAIN'S explorations in the New World. His ASTROLABE, lost in 1613, was found near Ottawa in 1867-the year Canada became a nation.
