Abstract:In present designs of radar sets for merchant ships, the radar-equipped ship is represented as being at the centre of its own P.P.I. picture. But there is a case for having an off-centre display. In this article are discussed possible advantages to be obtained from such a display, when the set is being used for collision warning away from a coast-line. The author recognizes that some of the opinions expressed are of a controversial nature.
