nIGHT International, 13 February 1964 readable intelligent Britain's liveliest top-level weekly! STATIST is edited primarily for intelligent people — people with administrative, social or other responsibilities. No other journal has the same gift for explaining great national and international questions in such clear, concise language. In its pages you can study the opinions of leading statesmen, economists, industrialists. Try STATIST — you may well find it the journal you have been looking for. All newsagents • Fridays is. 6d. STATIST *0RLD AFFAIRS • INDUSTRY - INVESTMENT And is this what most engineers mean when they say APPLIED MICROELECTRONICS? It is called the | N16 Autonavigator. I The lightweight N16 Autonavigator is another major achievement in inertial navigation by the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation. Drawing on years of experience and extensive research. Auto- netics engineers have applied microelectronics to navigational systems. N16 is more than a single autonavigator. It's a whole family based on proven concepts, utilizing standard- ized equipment and featuring modular construction for growth and potential. The basic N16 is designed specifically for high performance tactical and trans- port aircraft. The N16S adds capabilities required in space. The N16M accommodates the same common sub-systems to the needs of ships and submarines. This N16 series utilizes precision gyros and velocity meters which are scaled-down versions of inertial components now used in major weapon systems. Use of microcircuitry, integrated circuits and other recently-proven techniques provides high accuracy plus a reliability 10 to 30 times that of conventional guidance systems. The basic N16 total system weight is 40 pounds; volume, 1.0 cubic foot; and the total power consump- tion is only 140 watts, including the computer with its built-in self-check and calibration features. A low total life cost is assured by the high reliability, simple operator requirements and engineered ease of maintainability. This is but one more example of how the engineers and scientists at Autonetics are forging ahead in the field of applied microelectronics and total systems integration ... another reason why Autonetics today is continuing to set standards for the entire elec- tronics industry.North American Aviation Autonetics
