AN AMERICAN-MADE MACHINE WHICH RECORDED DATA TRANSMITTED FROM SCEPTRE (SYSTEM FOR CONSTANT ELEVATION PRECIPITATION TRANSMISSION & RECORDING) TRANSMITTERS OPERATED BY AES. SCEPTRE WAS DEVELOPED BY AES C.1971 TO EXPLOIT THE RADAR NETWORK TO THE GREATEST DEGREE WITH DATA RECORDING & REAL TIME DISTRIBUTION OF INFORMATION.
Function
A DEVICE WHICH AUTOMATICALLY SENDS & RECEIVES FACSIMILE PRINTED MESSAGES OVER DISTANCES VIA THE TELEPHONE SYSTEM; THIS TYPE RECORDS PICTORIALLY PRECIPITATION DATA TRANSMITTED BY A REMOTE RADAR TRANSCEIVER ON A CONTINUOUS ROLL OF ELECTROLYTIC PAPER. PRECIPITATION ECHOS ARE DISPLAYED AS DARK AREAS ON THE WHITE PAPER & ALLOW THE USER TO DETERMINE THEIR LOCATION & RELATIVE INTENSITY.
Technical
THIS REPRESENTS THE `USER=END' OF THE SCEPTRE SYSTEM WHICH CONSISTED OF A WSR-807 RADAR, PDP11/35 COMPUTER, & THE ALDEN FAX MACHINE. SCEPTRE PERMITTED REAL TIME ACCESS TO INFORMATION FROM REMOTE LOCATIONS IN HARDCOPY WHICH HAD SUBSTANTIAL IMPLICATIONS FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF NATIONAL NETWORKS.
