FL/Gl Inter! natiq 23 , \I9& The ASTROLABE symbol adopted by Computing Devices is fashioned after the instru- ment which Samuel de Cham- plain lost in 1613 while explor- ing the vast wilderness of Canada. His ASTROLABE was found near Ottawa in 1867 - the year Canada became a nation. Champlain, though born in France, is known in history as the first great Canadian. When familiar landmarks ceased to point the way, many ancient explorers charted their course with the aid of a remark- able navigation instrument called an ASTROLABE. This simple instrument with its intriguing design, was an important aid in man's exploration of the earth to which he seemed forever to be bound — Now man's horizon is entwined in the stars. Computing Devices has adopted the ASTROLABE as a cor- porate symbol — a fitting emblem for its continuing programs of exploration and development — for its world renowned, advanced navigation systems, photo optical systems, anti- submarine warfare, aerophysics facilities and the many related activities and requirements for the age of supersonic speed and space travel.
